Cousin Vallee disappeared for six years after he took a manslaughter rap for Papa B. But when Papa B. died, he showed up at his funeral with a plan bought and paid for by Miss Lilly.
Together they played their family like emotional puppet-masters until the bait attracted their target: Miss Lacey.
Cousin Vallee played his part perfectly, even while getting too drunk to know what he was doing. When it was over, Vallee finally got a look at the casket where Papa B. lay, and Miss Lilly became the new head of the Newcastle family business: Miss Papa B.
