Beautiful Little Fool (S03E19)

A pregnant woman researching her family history realizes that her great-grandmother, Violet Holley (Allison Miller), died in an unsolved murder. Rush tackles the 1929 case, her oldest to date, but she finds only a few notes revealing that underprivileged Violet had become pregnant by a wealthy man, Nick Bartleby (Tommy Dewey). The recollections of those suspects who are still alive cannot be considered reliable, but Rush does locate Nick's great-grandson and discovers recordings that might lead her in the direction of the murderer. Meanwhile, Rush's mother, Ellen (Meredith Baxter), announces that she is engaged and wants Rush to attend the wedding. June Lockhart guest stars as Caroline Bartleby, Nick's younger sister.
