*** What adds to the uncertainty is that when explaining to Sam what happened with Bart, the house keeper Marie is rightly confused, as she was told a different series of events:
---->'''Abigail''': He was yellin' at me, and he was following me, and I tried to hide, but he wouldn't go away.
---->'''Marie''': (shocked) Abigail Fuller, you told me he was dead when you come on him.

'''Season 5, Episode 8:'''
!Trilogy, Part 1: One Little Heart
->'''Sam:''' Al, do you think that Abigail, a little girl like Abigail, could be capable of murder?
Written by Donald P. Bellisario
Directed by James Whitmore Jr.
Airdate: November 17, 1992.
------------
August 8, 1955
Sam leaps into the sheriff of a small Louisiana town and must deal with the death of a once-proud man, the mystery surrounding the man’s missing daughter and how both cases tie into the sheriff’s ten-year-old daughter.
!Tropes:
* CreatorCameo: The episode’s director, James Whitmore Jr. appears as Sheriff Fuller (in the mirror).
* CreepyChild: Abigail is slightly creepy, mostly due to how quickly she can go from sweet and loving to violently angry.
* EnfantTerrible: Leta (and a few others in town) see Abigail as this.
* ParentsInDistress: Leta uses this ploy to draw Abigail back to her house
* TragicVillain: Leta could qualify following the disappearance of her daughter and the death of her husband, though when she takes her anger out on a ten-year-old girl, she loses sympathy.
* WouldHurtAChild: Leta Aider goes berserk on Abigail more than once, culminating in tense encounter that leads to a house fire.
* YouLookFamiliar: W.K. Stratton (Larry Stanton III) previously appeared in two episodes [[note]]Season 1’s '''Genesis''' and Season 2’s '''Good Night, Dear Heart'''[[/note]]. He also appears in the next two episodes.
