The "glass cliff" phenomenon refers to a situation where women (or members of other underrepresented groups) are more likely to be placed in leadership roles during times of crisis or downturn, when the chance of failure is highest.

They declined her offer of coffee. Reich's father Ed invited them to sit down. They refused. They then informed Reich's parents that South Salem was "a Christian community," and informed the Reichs, a Jewish family, that they were not welcome. Ed Reich thanked them for their visit and then told them to get the hell out of his house. That visit made him all the more determined to keep his family in South Salem and stand up to this prejudice and attempt to bully.
