When a pregnant woman researching her family history comes across disturbing news that her great grandmother, Violet Polley, was murdered and the case was never solved, Lilly tackles the 1929 case, her oldest to date.
While the team is dealing with massive case backlog, they roll up their sleeves and dust off the few notes from the crime which only reveal that Violet Polley was from the wrong side of the tracks and became pregnant by a man, Nick Bartleby, who was considered royalty. Most, if not all, of the suspects from 1929 are either dead or their memories aren't reliable, however, they find the grandson of Bartleby's driver and discover recorded tapes that might lead her in the direction of the murderer. Meanwhile, Lilly's mother, Ellen (guest star Meredith Baxter), announces her engagement and wants nothing more than her daughter to stand beside her during the ceremony.

Analysis |
| |
Lilly's phone call outside the restaraunt:
After her heated exchange with her mother, Lilly goes outside and spontaneously calls a man who is never mentioned by name, but considering Lilly's conversation with his machine, it is most plausibly ADA Kite (last seen in Season 1).
During Season 1, Kite aggressively tried to court Lilly, but for reasons not quite clear at the time she always seemed either distant or passive about the relationship. Eventually Kite stopped calling when he figured out that she wasn't ready for a relationship---with him or anyone else.
However, after two years, it is made relatively clear why Lilly rejected Kite's proposals---she was afraid of ending up like her sister Christina (a cheap fling in trouble with the law) or like her mother (an alcoholic who routinely choose the wrong man).
Whether or not Kite makes an appearance in a future episode concerning Lilly's call/confession remains to be seen.
| Lilly takes the Polley case despite the backlog of more recent cases because, unlike the rest of the team, she can empathize with the victim's great-granddaughter when she says that the women in her family seem to end up screwing their lives up. Lilly takes this comment personally, considering her upbringing at her mother's guidance and the fate of her sister.
