As Angelica faces a move to a new city, Tina allows her to spend some time with her daughter. What harm could that do? Then Vittoria and Angelica begin to spend more time together, and the ten-year old is soon torn between the kind woman who raised her and the birth mother who is starting to think she wants her daughter back.
