Chances Are . . .

In the present, Mickey sits alone on the deck of the Chilmark house, reflecting on a lifetime of violence and lies. When Lincoln and Teddy return from the hospital with Teddy bandaged from his eye injury, Lincoln erupts in fury and grabs Mickey by the throat, accusing him of killing Jacy and hiding her body. The confrontation is suddenly interrupted by the appearance of the purple-haired singer, whose name is Delia; she reveals herself to be Mickey and Jacy’s daughter.

Mickey’s revelation unfolds through extensive flashbacks to 1971, when he secretly met Jacy after the conclusion of the fateful Memorial Day weekend in which she broke her engagement to Vance. During her meeting with Mickey, she disclosed devastating truths about her life: that Donald Calloway was not her biological father and that he had been sexually abusing her for years. She also revealed that her biological father, Andres “Andy” Demopoulos, was a Greek immigrant who had died of complications due to a disorder called cerebellar ataxia, in which the patient experiences grievous loss of motor function. Jacy’s mother, Vivian, had been complicit in the family’s deceptions, hiding the truth of Jacy’s origins and knowingly allowing Donald’s sexual abuse of Jacy to continue.
