Tony Scali, the commissioner, is struck with a personal dilemma in this episode. The mother of a young girl who had been murdered two years prior comes into the station to confess to the crime.

As the investigation continues, another man comes forward to confess to the same crime. Scali is even more confused now that there are two confessions and must figure out which one is the real killer.
