OMG A Baby Switch???? I admit, I didn't see this one coming. Poor, blind, pregnant Angie goes into labor in a deserted house where she got married when she was a teenager, and goes into labor and passes out during the delivery of her baby. Or, is it labor? The severe pain in her back would indicate that she has something more seriously wrong with her, and we wonder if she will be paralyzed, as well as blind, after the baby is born. With no help from his wife, the doctor, Jessie is left to deliver Ellie. He's a cop; has he never had this kind of training? But, at least he has sterile shoelaces to tie the cord with. When he realizes that the baby isn't breathing, shouldn't his training kick in? Aren't there things he could have done, like clear the airways?
I realize that it sounds like I don't approve of this story, but I actually do like it. I think that if developed correctly we will see some award winning acting from Darnel Williams and Debbie Morgan. (As if we don't already get that) I can't even imagine the horror that Jessie will be going through as he watches Angie bond with a baby girl that is not hers. Will he be able to bond with her? And because she can't see his reactions, the intensity of his pain can be shown to us, without her seeing it. Who will he tell? Brot knows, and this secret will eat him up from the inside out. Will he be able to keep it from Natalia? Will Jessie tell Tad? Frankie and Randi will know something is wrong, but will they guess what it is? Withe all the possibilities I'm excited to see how this will unfold.
