Cade said she didn't realize what was happening.
"I was really focused on the customer. I didn't want to cause any commotion in the store and make the customer feel that there was something going on," she said.
Then she felt something on her back. It was Hargrave, using a lighter to ignite her.
Cade ran outside, then back into the store. "I just went to the sink and I began to hose my face," she said. "And I remember thinking to myself that my face was melting."
Cade was in a hospital for three months and endured more than a dozen surgeries.
The first time she looked at her face was two months after she arrived at the hospital.
"It was on the 60th day. My mother would count the days," she said. "And it was by accident. Beauty comes within, and I just said, well, maybe -- I don't question God, but maybe this is my calling. I was comfortable with it, and I have to continue my life."
After the show, Cade said in a telephone interview that she thought she had done well and that it felt fine watching herself on television. Going forward, Cade said, she is focused on her upcoming surgeries and recovery.
"Every day is a struggle," she said.
