Jackie Vincoeur (guest star Valerie
Perrine), a swindler by nature, arrives in town and announces she is Holling's
daughter. Holling is even more shocked than the rest of the townspeople, having
believed he was sterile due to a childhood case of the mumps. Knowing the Vincoeurs
are a bad lot, that they are vicious, cruel people, Holling is worried that
the family line will not end with him as he had planned.
Unfortunately,
Jackie lives up to the Vincoeur family name. She is immediately a bad influence
on Shelly, encouraging her to drink, smoke and gamble.
The unscrupulous Jackie cheats and takes advantage of anyone who crosses her
path. True to her character, she admits to Holling the only reason she tracked
him down was to coerce him into giving her money.
