Worried about losing their special bond, the Liars decide to burn down Clairmont, the main house on the island, which contains all of the financial documents and many of the prized family possessions. Carrie knows that if she marries Ed, she will lose her share of the inheritance from her father and that she, Ed, and Gat will be cut off from the family. His connection to the Sinclair family becomes even more tenuous when his uncle Ed proposes to Carrie and she rejects him. In contrast to the wealth that Johnny, Mirren, and Cady take for granted, Gat comes from a working-class background and is suspicious of the materialism and elitism he observes around him on Beechwood. Harris’s bigotry is subtle enough to go unnoticed by most of the family, but Gat is well aware of his place as an outsider. Both Gat and Ed occupy a strange place in the family: while Harris Sinclair is ostensibly welcoming to them, he is uncomfortable with the idea that the two of them-as men of South Asian descent-could marry into his family and therefore sully the racial and ethnic purity of the Sinclair bloodline. Cady and Gat fall in love over the course of the next few summers, and during the summer of their fifteenth year, they begin a romantic relationship.

His uncle Ed is in a relationship with Carrie, one of the Sinclair daughters, and when Gat joins the Sinclair family on the island, he becomes inseparable with Cady, Johnny, and Mirren, and the four become known to the family as the Liars. Although he is not related to the Sinclairs by blood, Gat begins spending his summers at Beechwood when he is eleven.
