This episode sees Casey Jones looking for an absentee father, so he can support the child.
A man who has abandoned his wife and child for his life of art. He quit his job for a life of painting in Greenwich Village.
In the meantime, Casey's instincts tells her that the little girl Bobby is following her. She misses her father and clutches a clown doll. Her father likes to paint clowns.
After she tells Bobby to go home, Casey's instincts desert her. Bobby still follows her and then Casey loses her as she goes to phone the police station from a public phone box.
It is the old chestnut, wait outside while I make a phone call and never look at you or even ask you to stand in the phone box with me as it's big enough.
The episode does not go for any easy happy family reunion story. Even in the 1950s, the portrait of the nuclear family was disintegrating.
