Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTo the reviewer questioning Bubba's ability to afford his house; it's a rooming house with single-sized apartment units, and, it's not the first time Bubba's home is shown. You see the same apartment in Vengeance (1989), when the unit is rigged to explode by criminals intent on revenge. The landlady comes out of her unit to question the man attempting to enter Bubba's unit. Same landlady goes to the police station to report the man. A homeowner wouldn't have a landlord.
- GoofsIn the opening scene, it is clearly a stand in double driving Chief Gillespie's red pick up truck instead of Carroll O'Connor.

"Nobody who knows me, would leave a baby with me"
While visiting Sparta a distant relative of Bubba's stops by the police station looking for him. Later on a baby is deposited on his doorstep. In between
those events Katy Boyer the baby's mother winds up dead.
Alan Autry is somewhat flustered with being saddled with an infant. But he does have Howard Rollins and AnneMarie Johnson for help.
In the meantime the search for both the father and murderer takes a wrong turn. They're not necessarily the same. Of course the Sparta PD gets it right at some point.
Nice episode with Alan Autry at center stage.
