- The night Cadence and Penny leave for Beechwood, Cadence's cousin Taft calls her.
- He's already on the island. His family arrived that morning.
- Cadence asks him if he went swimming, and if he's been on the tire swing.
- He asks her if she's a drug addict.
- She asks where he got that idea, and he says his sister Bonnie told him—Bonnie says Taft should watch out for Cadence.
- She tells him she's a drug addict, but says to us that she might be lying.
- Taft says Cuddledown is haunted and asks if he can sleep at Windemere.
- She tells him it's not haunted; it's just the wind. She suggests he ask Mirren to read him a bedtime story.
- He says he will, and hangs up without saying goodbye.
