The title of this show is a reference to the notorious incident involving former President Clinton and the infamous intern, Monica Lewinsky, referred to as, 'that woman', before the whole world knew of how deep was their affair.

The finding of a shirt of Carrie Swett, a teenager found dead a few years ago, brings the Cold Case unit to investigate the unsolved murder. The incident happened while Carrie was attending high school. In flashbacks, we get to see how this girl was considered a 'slut' by her classmates. This girl was a product of a broken home. Carrie was a beautiful young woman who dressed provocatively. Her class mates considered her an easy girl.

The truth was that Carrie was not the persona she projected. When Tina, a goody-goody-two-shoes that wants to bring her to the group that meets regularly and explore ways of staying chaste and lead a Christian life. Unfortunately, some of the people in the group have deeper problems than Carrie. Four of the teens that attend the sessions resent Carrie for things she had learned about each of them.

Roxann Dawson directed this episode that was written by Liz Garcia, a frequent contributor to the series. Kayla Mae Maloney appears as Carrie. Her mother is played by McKenzie Phillips, who herself was a teen star on her own right, although her part here was minimal, at best. Hallee Hirsh and Sara Utterbach play Tina as a teen, and as an adult. The cast does well for the director.

That Woman

I honestly did not feel the episode tarred all conservative Christians with one brush; the plot line clearly concerned this particular group of people. Nor did the episode you mentioned about the Amish libel people because of their religion. One has to accept that regardless of what group one belongs to -- I, for example, am both Jewish and gay -- that not every member of that group is perfect, morally or otherwise. I am not Jewish in the manner of David Berkowitz nor gay in the manner of Jeffrey Dahmer. I think that you, as a conservative Christian, are being oversensitive. You cannot deny that there are members of your group who are motivated by hate and judgment rather than love and compassion; it is people such as that which the episode depicted.
