Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Young Hank Monroe (Bradley Pierce) is surprised to see a picture of his own brother Noah (Nathaniel Meyst) as a "missing child" on a milk carton--especially since Noah isn't missing at all as far as he is concerned. Investigating the situation, Hank unearths a long-hidden family secret: Noah was adopted, and Mr. and Mrs. Monroe (Sean O'Bryan, Michelle Joyner) weren't too particular about the details of the adoption. Also involved in the intrigue is not-so-respectable lawyer Ray Bishop (Stuart Margolin, who also directed this episode) and would-be suicide Grant Abbott (Paul McCrane). When Heavenly supervisor Tess (Della Reese) warned angels Monica (Roma Downey) and Andrew (John Dye) that this would be a difficult assignment, she wasn't kidding!
