Hoyt avoids giving Miss Love and Grandpa a ride, and Grandpa and Miss Love head off to NY. Mary Toy, Will's sister, whose red hair has grown out, returns to Cold Sassy. Also, the car does a magnificent job of taking attention away from the Grandpa - Miss Love "scandal." Miss Love"'mends fences" with the ladies of Cold Cassy by sending every lady and girl in Cold Sassy a postcard telling each about a special garment she had picked out just for them.
Will encounters Lightfoot McClendon while driving the car on an errand. he decides to give her a ride and takes her to the cemetery to talk, where Lightfoot tells him that her dad died, and that she has to drop out of school and work in the mill full-time. Will tries to cheer her up by telling her a story about a fancy headstone a family bought for a son they disowned. Lightfoot breaks down at the fact that some families have so much money to waste, and her family hardly has enough to feed themselves. When Will attempts to comfort her, he ends up making out with her, until Miss Alice Ann catches them, and blames Lightfoot for "corrupting Will."
