A drunken widow (Talia Balsam) spends his time sipping wine in bed instead of taking care of her daughter, confined to a wheelchair, who need assistance all day long. Anyway, she's lucky to live off supportive brother who took the place of her deceased father in looking after her. During the episode we found out the only reason the pitiless mother started a family is related to money and the marriage was a shotgun wedding. What to do when you realize money dried up due to bad investments? Since she sees her kids just like a burden, she sets up a scam, a lawsuit to be back on track, regardless of the consequence on her family members.
I'm shocked to see there are still doctors like Dr. Mckenna (Jack Davidson), who misinformed patients due to his religious beliefs: "In God's hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind"
