            "Prodigal Son" -- When the D.A.'s office accuses a recovering alcoholic for the murder of his niece, painful secrets are revealed about a similar murder case involving the defendant's mother 25 years earlier, on a rebroadcast of CLOSE TO HOME, Friday, July 13 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. The episode was directed by Anthony Hemingway from a script by Antoinette Stella and William N. Fordes.  (Originally broadcast 12/15/06)

          Daytime Emmy Award winner Debbie Morgan ("The Bold and The Beautiful"), Wendell Pierce ("The Wire") and Golden Globe nominee Richard Roundtree ("Shaft") guest star.

          The defense argues that their client suffers from severe depression and had a psychotic break which was triggered by the anniversary of his mother's death. Annabeth and Maureen argue that the defendant's behavior is part of a larger pattern of drunken violence and he must be brought to justice. The case takes a turn when secrets are revealed about the first murder, leaving Annabeth to question the details of both cases.
