Everyone deals with miscarriage in their own way -
and very, very many of us have dealt with it. When I had a miscarriage, my grief was swift and overwhelming. I mourned
deeply the child with whom I'd already fallen in love, and with my next pregnancy I was detached, never quite believing
he was real until the 20-week ultrasound. Now, less than two years later, I've accepted the loss as something that just
happens, and remember the pain only distantly. Allison Dubois, on the other hand, has grief that remains
terribly present. Every year around the time of her miscarriage, she has visions of "Brian," who would be
about 15. She's a sensitive soul. The dreams keep her up, mourning what could have been.
"I need coffee,"
she tells her husband at 6 a.m. when he realizes she's awake. He calls her bluff, telling her to just drink tea, and
she insists. "I'll be gone a few hours, I'll cry without anyone hearing me, and I will come back with a
bag of coffee," she says. Soon, she's discovering the body of the Coffee Palace's manager. And we're thrust into
the mystery; is it a robbery gone bad? An easy way out for the victim's husband? Or something else? Where's the
twist?
Before we talk twists, though, I'd like everyone to say "hi" to my friend Kristi, who
said she stood next to Patricia Arquette during the filming of this episode! Hi Kristi!
