When a young woman's mother dies, she discovers her adoption papers. She wants to find out about her biological mother and approaches the Cold Case team for help. There is not much hope that anything can be found because of the time frame. As usual, these resourceful people go into action to solve what seems to be impossible.
We are taken to an earlier time when the parents of Hilary West, a pregnant teenager, are taking her to an institution run by nuns in order to keep her away from view of her friends and neighbors. It is a horrible place for anyone to be. Luckily for Hilary, she makes friends with Karen Watson. Both girls bond together in order to endure the horrors they experience.
Hilary discovers an irregularity that involved cash transactions as the different babies are delivered. Sister Margaret is a cruel woman that shows no redeeming qualities in spite of her dedication to God's service. After Karen gives birth to a baby son, Hilary notices how he is given away to a couple. She delivers a beautiful girl she calls Sunshine. She asks Sister Margaret to keep her for a few moments, bonding with the infant. Later on, Hilary reveals to Karen what she had found about the institution. Karen is angry because Hilary has been able to stay with her girl, and she lets her know how she feels about it.
A sad episode of this wonderful show. Holly Dale directed Jennifer Johnson's screenplay that deals with about how some institutions that are there to help people in need take advantage of their power because the people in their care are helpless. Liked Johanna Brady as the young Hilary, the sweet young woman thrown out of her home by careless parents. Michelle Page and Sandy Martin are seen as the young and old Karen.
The Cold Case team shows up their savvy in solving those impossible mysteries from a long time ago. Kathryn Morris, Danny Pinto, John Finn, Jeremy Ratchford, Thom Barry and Tracy Thoms play as an ensemble and it is a joy to watch them.
