Another X-Files alumni, Doug Hutchinson (who I just heard today has disturbingly married a 16 year old?!? Is that lawful?) guest stars as a cop and father of a family of four, being his wife, son and little baby daughter. It is obvious that he is a verbally abusive person and the other family members are frightened of him and the son is jealous of how he feels about the baby. the mother lies to Dad about having diaper creme and then goes to the pharmacy to buy some. As the baby is asleep in the car, she decides to leave her there. When she returns, she discovers the baby is missing. She goes on television though saying she was held up by a man and a woman who then stole the baby. Cal Lightman immediately knows this is a lie and decides to investigate.
Lots of red herrings making this a great episode and hard to pick what has happened because you think it is one person and then you think you might be wrong and it might be someone else. Turns out it was who I thought it was all along.
Notable for being directed by Adam Arkin who used to be in shows like Chicago Hope and The West Wing and is Alan Arkin's son.
