Someone left a baby at Russell's station, and he takes him to Mariel at the hospital. When he returns, he finds Sheriff Underlay and Helen and Christina with him in his office. Hellen tells him that the baby is Christina's son and her grandson, but Christina denies. Russell takes Helen to the hospital and Tom does the same with Christina. Mariel looks for Christina at home and finds Helen murdered by her daughter-in-law. Later she visits Christina in the jail, and Christina says that she changed after the Hurricane Eve and rejected her son. The she asks if Mariel does not feel the same way. Mariel decides to investigate the place where she was found and has a weird surprise.

After more than one third of the whole series, "The Cradle" is finally an intriguing episode. Mariel seeing her decayed body in the water is the best scene so far. What has happened to her and what Sheriff Underlay is are now the greatest mysteries to be explained. My vote is seven.
