The Identicals

Three days after being caught with her married lover, Harper attends her father’s memorial reception. She recalls a text from Reed assuring her that he had convinced his wife, Sadie, that their meeting was innocent, but Sadie storms into the reception, mistakes Tabitha for Harper, douses Tabitha with champagne, and slaps her. As Sadie screams insults, Drew restrains her. Eleanor calmly rebukes Sadie and has her escorted from the premises. Afterward, Tabitha confronts Harper about the affair, which Harper denies.

That evening, Harper’s life unravels. Drew breaks up with her, explaining that the public scandal and her past drug charge make their relationship impossible. She receives a text from Reed cutting off all contact between them until things calm down, and a voicemail from her boss firing her from her job delivering packages. Overwhelmed, Harper ignores an incoming call from Tabitha.

Tabitha, Ainsley, and Eleanor take a ferry back to Nantucket. While waiting for the ferry, Eleanor wanders off. They find her drunk at a bar, where she loudly claims to be Billy’s grieving widow, professing her love for him and admitting she misses Harper. Ainsley’s regard for Harper antagonizes Tabitha, who mourns her broken relationships with both her father and sister.
