On May 30, 1975, Poppy sat in her bedroom reeling from the violent fight she had just filmed between her brothers, Vincent and Danny. She recalled the sounds and aggression, noting that the confrontation was far more serious than a typical sibling dispute and that Vincent had lunged at her when he discovered she was filming.

After a knock, Vincent entered Poppy’s room with his pillow and blanket, saying he could not sleep in the shared room with Danny. Poppy hid her camera and asked what had happened. Vincent refused to answer.

Poppy asked if the fight was about Lydia. Vincent reacted sharply, demanding to know why she would think that. Poppy deflected, saying it was the only reason she could imagine for such anger, while internally noting she would not reveal that she knew about Lydia’s abortion and that the baby had not been Vincent’s.

Vincent settled on Poppy’s floor and told her to be quiet when she offered to talk. Poppy wondered how long he would stay and briefly thought about Ricky Ricardo, fearing what he might do to her. Next door, Danny put on Aerosmith’s “Sweet Emotion,” turning it up loudly on the lyric about a girlfriend who is a liar, which seemed pointed in the moment.

Over the music, Vincent stated, “I hate him. I wish he was dead,” making explicit the depth of his hostility toward Danny.
