PHOEBE: Yes, it is, I've been trying to reach you.
GIRL: I've only just got back from the clinic.
PHOEBE: How are you feeling?
GIRL: Kind of numb, I guess. But I didn't have any choice.
PHOEBE: I'm just glad you're OK. Look, I think it would be a good idea if we could get together some time. Can you do that?
GIRL: Well I...I have to go now.

But the girl has rung off.
DOROTHY:(sympathetically) Well, at least you know she's alright.
No.22
Cathy is discussing the adoption with Rick and Marco. They are curious about their sister and reckon that things have changed now - they could even find her again. Cathy and Benito think that it's best to leave the past alone. They've lived with their decision for twenty years and let their daughter get on with her life. Marco isn't convinced - maybe their sister really wants to find her real parents. Cathy says there's been no attempt to get in touch from her - and she wants Marco to promise not to investigate.
