Chapter Summaries & Analyses
The barbecue continues with Vid and Clementine forging a connection over food and music, and Sam and Tiffany lightly flirting. The children are mentioned at intervals, but the parents are keeping an eye on them. They talk about how Vid and Tiffany met. Although they met at a real estate auction, Vid teasingly reveals that he’d seen her before, back when Tiffany was a professional stripper.
Meanwhile, in the present, Vid is having a hard time with the aftermath of the barbecue and how Clementine has shut him out. Tiffany also sees that Dakota is under duress because Dakota ruined one of her beloved books. When Tiffany takes her daughter to her new school, Tiffany sees a man from her past. Tiffany sees “the unmistakable glimmer of recognition in his pale eyes” and is shaken. She’s relieved when Dakota feels sick, and they have to leave. The subject of Clementine comes up in the car, and Dakota reveals that she’s sure Clementine hates her for what happened at the barbecue.
Erika goes to her mother’s and sees that Sylvia’s hoarding has gotten worse.
