Plot: After Shubie gets depressed at the mention of Mothers Day, Taylor explains that it's because Shubie was abandoned by her mother. After reminiscing about how Auntie Momma took care of her, Tom offers to find Shubie's mother. Going to Auntie Momma while she is directing a play, she admits that Shubie's mother Dee Dee has completely disappeared but they decide to look  together. After striking out, they go back to the playhouse and Tom gets the idea to hire an actress to play Dee Dee.

Things get off to slow start, but when the fake mother spreads on a thick story Shubie buys it hook, line and sinker and the fake threatens to reveal the fraud if Tom says anything. At Taylor's Mother's Day recital, Shubie plays her recorder for her mother but she drops over dead and Tom is forced to tell the truth. Depressed after Shubie throws him out of the house, the real Dee Dee arrives at Waterman Cable demanding to know what Tom has been up to.

Dee Dee explains that the death certificate issued her name messed up several aspects of her life. Tom wants to introduce her to Shubie but Dee Dee insists that all she wants is to get her life straightened out and explains that she has too many regrets. Tom offers to show her to Shubie without anyone catching on and Dee Dee agrees. Tom sets up an accident and Shubie is introduced to her mother as a innocent victim. As they talk, Dee Dee tells of how she once had a successful music career in Germany but after giving birth couldn't give it up, so she gave her baby to her brother Kevin. Tom arrives and tells of how the stranger is really Dee Dee and Shubie hits him, but she still makes up with her mother but is confused over being raised by Auntie Momma instead of her uncle Kevin until Auntie Momma arrive and they piece together the mystery.
