## Character Notes

**Holly Anderson**
Holly was a young girl in mid-twenties. She and her older sister, Taylor, were orphaned after their parent's accident. She is the sister-in-law of Luke. Her decayed arm washes ashore on Seattle beach, prompting a homicide investigation. A traveler and free-spirit, Holly bounced from job to job looking for her true calling. She believed she found it with Madame Coco reading Tarot cards and helping people. Her sister and brother-in-law came to her for help having a child, but Holly declined as she didn't want to sacrifice her body for nine months. The day she died, Holly had her cards read by Madame Coco. She drew the Empress, the tower (strength and change), four walls (marriage and community), and ten swords (speaks to betrayal, loss, crisis, and death: reverse life, love, and happiness). Initially, Damien and Tom thought she was pregnant, but later learned she was planning to harvest her eggs as a gift to her sister and brother-in-law. She pawned her Grandmother's ring for $5,000 but went to Taylor for the other five thousand. Taylor was angered and smacked Holly, who fell and hit her head on the table and died. Taylor and Luke threw her body in the ocean, and Holly's spirit began reaching out to Cassie.

**Taylor and Luke**
**Billy Larkin**
Billy is the eighteen-year-old estranged son of Penny and musician icon, Jace Gray. When Billy was two-years-old, his mother died of cancer and he went to live with his Aunt and three cousins. His Aunt couldn't afford to take care of him and her three children, so she did what she thought was best and put him in foster care. He was fostered by a loving family, the Larkin's, who later adopted him. He currently works at his families coffee shop as a barista. When Cassie arrives to tell him about his true parentage, he receives his acceptance letter from Yale and Cassie chooses not to tell him about Jace. At the end of the day, Jace departs from Cassie to look over his son.

**Esther "Madame Coco" Legato**
Esther, aka "Madame Coco", is a middle-aged woman who specializes in Tarot cards. She was the recent employer of Holly Anderson, Tom and Damien's newest homicide case. Esther has a criminal record going back fifteen years for fraud and tax evasion. She was convicted of assault in 2008 after she stabbed her third husband after discovering his affair. Esther has also married a total of five times.

## Notes and Trivia

* *While the Song Remains the Same* was originally marketed as the fifth episode of Season 1. However, it was changed to the eighth episode for unknown reasons.
* Will was last seen in "The Length of a River".
* Sally's funeral was held between "Let Me In Your Window" and "While the Song Remains the Same".
* Cassie's childhood music idol, and her mom's idol, Jace Gray dies, and his spirit reaches out to Cassie for help.
* Bryan brings Cassie a box of mementos from her mother.
* Bryan tells Cassie that his MRI results will be in on Friday but asks if she knows anything because of her gifts. She admits that when she's too close to something the information is harder, if not impossible, to reach. Her visions become more about what she wants, or is afraid of, and not what is.
* Bryan has a meningioma, a slow-growing benign tumor on the front lobe of his brain. He is prescribed oral steroids to reduce his symptoms until they can operate.
* Jace says that as a ghost he can't eat, smell, or sing loud enough to be heard.
