Up late at nights, I've become addicted to Cold Case reruns; tonight I fell in love with an episode.

The Cold Case episode titled Best Friends tells the story of two women in love in the early 1930's. As if that weren't compelling enough, one woman, Billie (played by Tessa Thompson), was black, the other, Rose (Samantha Streets played the young 1932 girl; Piper Laurie played her as a grandma), was white.
