* InTheBlood: On her 18th birthday, in ''Her Father's Daughter'', Linda receives a letter from her deceased father. Before she opens it, she tells the man with her that she is quite certain that it tells her that Eileen is not really her father's daughter and not really her sister.
-->''Before I open this envelope I am going to tell you what I believe it contains. I have not the slightest evidence except personal conviction, but I believe that the paper inside this envelope is written by my father's hand and I believe it tells me that he was not Eileen's father and that I am not her sister. If it does not say this, then there is nothing in race and blood and inherited tendencies."''
