Monica befriends Kate
Prescott, whose son has been accused of a brutal murder. Angered by Thomas'
acquittal, Leonard Page--the victim's father--tries to force the Prescotts to
leave town. Tess advises the man to let God avenge his daughter's death, but he
refuses to listen, even when Kate herself begs him to stop the vendetta. When
she discovers some of the victim's belongings in Thomas's room, however, she
doubts his innocence and issues a statement to the press. He responds by leaving
town. But once the police apprehend the real murderer, Kate despairs because of
her betrayal. Revealing herself, Monica tells the distraught mother her mistake
was trusting evidence rather than faith. Tess meanwhile returns to Page's house,
urging him to let the healing process begin. Afterwards, Monica wonders what
will become of Kate's son. Tess reveals that Mrs. Angeli, the kindly bus driver
who gave Kate moral support during the trial is herself an "advance
angel" who will watch over Thomas as he starts his new life in Los Angeles.
