Storyline

Robbie is worried now that Tina is missing, luckily Jim helps with baby Nicholas. Pete has stayed in his tent, then announces to Robbie he's going to his dad 'till things settle'. However, after a reassuring talk, Pete proves a very helpful big brother. Syd agrees to go to the prison to examine convict Darla Rosario, a pregnant diabetic, about to be extradited to Florida and executed for murdering her husband. Jim eagerly cares for Julianna's dog, Donatella, but she refuses to have the pet's flees killed and Heather joins the parasites' cause. Owen replaces the ring Syd lost with an heirloom from his other grandmother. He agrees to try and delay Darla's extradition for the baby's sake. Syd finds out two very different mothers.
