Wow!  If we play with this theme, we can come up with a lot of 
possibilities:
I think we can agree that "The Towers" are representative of the Mill.  (I 
may be assuming too much).  Given that, most of us would assume that 
Jade=Josie, Jerrod=Josi's late husband, and Emerald=Catherine.  So who is 
Chet?  It sould be Van Horne, But I think that it is more likely to be our 
insurance salesman.  Leaving Montana=Hank, our Domino Dude.

This would seem to be "aftershadowing" the mystery between Hand & Josie, and 
her late husband's death.

But what if we reverse the girls, so Jade=Catherine & Emerald=Josie?  This 
would leave us with Chet=Harry Truman perhaps.  This interpretation leaves 
Josie looking !very! nasty.  How many of us believe she's as nice as she 
appears to be anyway?  And with this interpretation, we could be 
foreshadowing events to come!

Given the extra-close ties between TP & Inv.To Love, I think this piece 
bears a close look.

Remember Coopers words:  "Whenever two events point to the same conclusion 
simultaneously, we must pay strict attention" (paraphrase).
