With a title like this, you know this episode is explicitly designed to tug at your heartstrings. And tug it does! And who's there to help? None other than Michele Dotrice whom Edward Woodward marries the month after this episode airs! Not only that, but the real life married couple Loraine Despres and Carleton Eastlake worked on the script together! The plot does not disappoint: a stolen newborn baby, the sordid world of baby brokerages, and Mickey's soon-to-be iconic (probably) diversion techniques. Show note: Chuck apologizes for the frog in his throat and referring to the Dotrice family as Doltrice several times but oddly not every time.
