Tess (Della Reese) and Monica (Roma Downey) come to the aid of a mother and daughter whose strong mutual dependence is holding both of them back. Mom Emma (Marion Ross) is a feisty veteran of a WW2-era female pilot squadron, while daughter Dorie (Veronica Hamel) is a highly respected judge. When Emma shows signs of being unable to care for herself any longer, Dorie is so terrfied at being separated from her mother that she seriously considers bypassing an opportunity to fill a vacant Supreme Court seat. At the same time, Emma resists moving into a retirement home, convinced that she will wither and die without her daughter's constant presence. Though the Angels do what they can to help Emma and Dorie, they aren't nearly as effective as the example set by an old fellow named Miller (Oscar Rowland), who makes an amazingly timely appearance in Dorie's courtroom! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
