"Debut" -- When a frazzled mother bursts into the Philadelphia Police Department claiming to know who might have killed her daughter at the 1968 debutante ball, Lilly re-opens the case on a rebroadcast of COLD CASE, Sunday, July 23 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Tim Hunter directed the episode that was written by Karin Lewicki and Kate Purdy. (Originally broadcast 1/29/06)

Lillian begs Lilly and the team to search for her daughter's killer when a newspaper story reports on a man pushing his wife down the stairs. The circumstances of that death seem eerily similar to her daughter's, and the same man was her escort to the 1968 debutante ball. Remorsefully, Lillian explains that back in 1968, her desire for social status led her to make her daughter a debutante and now she fears she may have started a chain of events that led to her daughter's murder.
