- The plan was as follows: build piles of paper in the Clairmont rooms, douse them with gasoline, light a paper towel roll, and throw it on the pile.
- Gat would take the basement, Cadence the first floor, Johnny the second, and Mirren the third.
- After they got out, they'd call the Woods Hole and Martha's Vineyard fire departments—their story would be that they were watching a movie at Cuddledown when Clairmont caught fire.
- It would take the fire departments a long time to arrive, plus they were all volunteers, so nobody would suspect arson.
- Back at Cuddledown, where the Liars are filling in the story, Cadence says they obviously solved everything.
- Mirren says that's not actually true. The aunts drink all the time, Carrie wanders the island at night, Penny obsesses over Cadence's health, and Bess cleans the house until her hands are raw.
- Still, as far as Cadence is concerned, they committed the perfect crime—after all, none of them are in jail, so they obviously got away with it.
- Gat asked Cadence why she gave away all her possessions. She says it was another attempt to do some good in the world.
- Johnny tells Gat not to push it.
- Mirren goes to bed, and Johnny, Gat, and Cadence lie on the kitchen floor and stare at the ceiling until the boys fall asleep.
