Story
Carter's public relations people advise him to rebuild his reputation after one of his ships spills oil in the Gulf of Mexico. A photo opportunity with an orphan, Tatum, turns into an adoption. Lois resents it, remembering her own upbringing and seeing how well the girl is treated. At the Newport Zoo, a trip Carter never made with her, Tatum goes missing and is found in the gorilla enclosure; a rescue worker is killed. Lois drives the gorillas off. Carter later sends Tatum away.
