Plot Overview

Katherine was tempted to tell her the truth when Missy agonized over why she was abandoned. Katherine promised not to be selfish anymore when Helen reminded her she'd come to town seeking forgiveness and atonement. Helen encouraged her to take Missy in her arms and tell her the truth. Alice told Missy she understands why Lee tried to break up her and Tony, and Missy told her of how close she feels to Katherine. John got Bill to open up to him about Missy and Katherine, and tried to make him see that Missy might enjoy having a mother figure in her life. After thanking Missy for the photo of herself, Katherine got her to talk about life in the orphanage. She had to restrain herself from crying when Missy described dragging around a blanket she'd called "Mama." Katherine didn't feel Missy was ready for any revelations when Missy refused to believe that a mother could willingly give up her child.
