The conundrum over what to do for the infant girl grows more complex as Daisy's detective husband Sam and their friends from the Salvation Army join the fray. Harold's life partner, Delray Farrington, shares a deep affection for the little girl but fears repercussions of their unconventional family in a society not eager embrace such notions.

Unraveling the mystery of the little girl on the doorstep leads to a rollercoaster ride through family dramas, societal snafus, and the occasional cooking catastrophe. Join in as Daisy juggles her mediumship, impending motherhood, and a baffling mystery that could only happen in Pasadena.
