But when Tina presses further, Megan brushes it off as misplaced grief. Undeterred, Tina’s resolve strengthens when the detective uncovers a lead—a nurse from the hospital where Tina gave birth was involved in the adoption.
Driven by the growing possibility, Tina consults a lawyer. “We’ll need a DNA test,” he warns, explaining the challenges, but Tina is unyielding—she needs the truth.
Then comes the call from Detective Harris: Megan is planning to flee the country with Shawn. Racing to the airport, Tina confronts her. “You can’t take him,” she pleads. “He’s mine—I know it.”
Megan falters, admitting through tears, “I saw the birthmark too. I just… couldn’t bear losing him.”
In that moment, they both recognize the shared pain they carry. When a DNA test confirms Shawn is Tina’s son, they choose a unique path forward: to raise him together, creating a new kind of family, bonded by love and resilience, determined to give Shawn, now Liam, the life he deserves.
