 Mrs. Bridges is sullen, depressed and guilt-ridden in the aftermath of Emily s suicide. When she doesn t appear downstairs one morning, Rose and Hudson knock on her bedroom door, with no response. Her door is locked and Hudson and Rose are worried and suspicious. When she emerges, she s very taciturn about how she spent her day off and sees Lady Marjorie about the day s meals. Her Ladyship senses her depression and tries to comfort her. Hudson gains access to her bedroom and to his astonishment, there s a beautiful baby girl on Mrs. Bridges  bed. Mrs. Bridges confesses that she stole the baby from her pram, on a whim, the night before and her Ladyship and Richard are notified at once. Calmly, the Bellamys return the child to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Weber. Richard tries to diffuse the situation by explaining Mrs. Bridges melancholy and subtly offers Weber a bribe. Mr. Weber is insulted and insists the police are notified. Richard was hoping to avoid the law, but he has no choice. Mrs. Bridges is charged and appears before a magistrate. In a last minute gesture to help Mrs. Bridges and to spare his employers further scandal, Hudson appears in court and manages to clear Mrs. Bridges of all charges. Once she settles her mind, Mrs. Bridges apologizes to all for her behavior and Lady Marjorie assures her this unfortunate incident is best forgotten.
