WHILE SEARCHING FOR A WOMAN LAST SEEN AT HER CHURCH'S CHOIR PRACTICE, THE TEAM DISCOVERS A SURPRISING SECRET THAT SHE'S BEEN DESPERATELY TRYING TO HIDE, ON A REBROADCAST OF "WITHOUT A TRACE," THURSDAY, DEC. 22

"Transitions" -- While attempting to find a woman who was fighting back tears when last seen at her church's choir practice, the team discovers that she's got a surprising secret that she's been desperately trying to hide, on a rebroadcast of WITHOUT A TRACE, Thursday, Dec. 22 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Series co-executive producer Timothy Busfield directed the episode written by David H. Goodman. (Originally broadcast 3/31/05)

Stephanie's choir director informs the team that he realized something was awry when Stephanie, who had been unusually emotional at the last choir practice, requested a certain hymn for Sunday, but then failed to show up to sing it. Though she initially seems like an ordinary churchgoing woman, her work history, multiple moves, and a conversation with her recently estranged boyfriend, soon lead the team to discover Stephanie's secret, after which they try to determine if it could have played a role in her disappearance. Meanwhile, Vivian's symptoms are making it more difficult for her to hide her heart condition from the team.
