- After returning to the house, Lily scooted upstairs to wait for August, armed with her mother's photograph and the black Mary picture. While waiting, she looked around the room a bit.
- When August arrived, they had their talk. Lily learned that August had known Lily's mother—in fact, August had been the housekeeper for Deborah's family when she was a child. August was able to tell Lily a lot about her mother that she never knew, and Lily finally came clean with her big secrets, including the fact that Rosaleen was running from the law and the manner of Deborah's death.
- During the chat, Lily also found out that T. Ray had been telling the truth when he said Deborah had left them both. In fact, when Deborah left her family, she had fled to August's house. After three months, she had returned to Sylvan to retrieve Lily, and she died on that trip. Naturally, Lily was devastated.
