  • Incorrectly Regarded as a Goof: In the scene where Hilary is holding her baby after just giving birth, Sister Margaret is seen wearing a golden ring. This is not a wedding band, as some have suggested. Catholic nuns often wear a golden ring that signifies their symbolic marriage to Jesus. edit »
  • We learn that when Lilly was six years old, her mother purposefully lost her in the mall to get some booze. edit »
  • Hilary West was killed in May 1964. edit »
  • Karen: (to Hilary): You live on a street called denial. edit »
  • Lilly: Abortion's illegal and no single mothers back then.
    Det. Jeffries: And no sex ed, either. Couldn't buy birth control unless you were married. Abstinence was the answer.
    Lilly: (smiling) That always works... edit »
  • Lt. Stillman: What about this nun who ran Saint Mary's?
    Lilly: Saint Margaret's still alive and kicking in a convent retirement community.
    Kat: A community of retired nuns? Sounds like a par-tay. edit »
  • Mrs. West: There is nothing so important as what the neighbors think, right? edit »
  • Lilly: (showing her badge) Heard you got a real temper, Karen.
    Karen Watson: Take it you're not gonna order the blue plate special. edit »
