- Cadence takes us back to summer fifteen, or rather, the spring before, when Tipper died.
- Her mom made her write a condolence note to Harris, but there was an ulterior motive—to show Harris that Cadence was the most thoughtful grandchild, and should therefore get his money.
- That summer, on the island, the sisters waited on Harris and fought over Tipper's stuff.
- One of the things they fought over was a pair of black pearl tablecloths.
- Penny and Bess asked Mirren and Cadence to tell Harris how much they loved the embroidered tablecloths from the Boston house—neither Mirren nor Cadence did so.
