The jobs for E would include the whole dependency chain: A, B, C, D, and E.
E will be tested assuming A, B, C, and D passed:

Since *C* failed, it will report the failure and drop *C* from the queue::

D [label = "D\n?"];

Since *C* failed, Zuul will report its failure and drop *C* from the queue,
keeping D and E:

E [label = "E\n?"];

starts the process again testing *D* against the tip of the branch, and
*E* against *D*.
