This so infuriates her mother that she has a heart attack and dies. Overcome with guilt, Charlotte returns to Dr. Jaquith. But at the sanitarium, she meets a troubled young girl, Tina, Jerry's daughter. In reaching out to Tina, she strength and sense of purpose. When Charlotte goes home, Tina moves in with her.
