Chances Are . . .

Due to poor Wi-Fi at the house, Lincoln sits in his car in the Tisbury Village parking lot on Friday evening, working on emails and texting with Anita. He receives a call from his realtor, Marty, who has important news to share. While waiting, Lincoln spots Coffin, who previously claimed that he does not drive, climbing into a truck. Suspicious of Coffin’s motives, Lincoln follows him on the Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Road. Anxiety overwhelms Lincoln as he contemplates Coffin’s possible intentions regarding Jacy and Troyer. The stress becomes so intense that Lincoln pulls over and vomits, then struggles to compose himself.

After recovering, Lincoln meets with Marty at his real estate office. Marty shows him a tax map revealing that Troyer has no deeded easement to access his property; this makes Lincoln’s land essential for any legal access to Troyer’s lot. The discovery gives Lincoln significant leverage in any future dealings with his neighbor.

Teddy returns from his bike ride on Friday afternoon, emotionally drained from the conversation with Theresa. He overhears Mickey on the phone with a woman named Delia, discussing money matters. When Mickey invites him to Oak Bluffs, Teddy declines, preferring to work on editing a manuscript for his press.
