Scotty : Familiar territory? (in welfare service)
Lilly : Yeah.
Scotty : You knew that food stamp drill pretty good.
Lilly : Case number 4228. Ellen Rush, two dependents.

Scotty : So your mom was going through bad times.
Lilly : Scotty... there was never a good time.
Scotty : Oh, you're telling me not once did you have fun with your mom?
(which obviously is a lie since we see Lilly watching a tape of her and her mom having fun in the snow in the closing montage)

Summary
When a young woman, Rosie Miles, wakes up from a coma, Lilly re-opens the fall in which her 6-year-old daughter Toya died. Things get complicated when the mother remembers very little of that night, and Lilly feels especially motivated to find the killer, as Rosie was poor and living on welfare, reminding Lilly of her own past, and giving her an emotional bond to Rosie.
Lilly : We got nothing. We got a witness. Whose hard drive's been erased. "Bruises and butterflies", that's her big contribution.
Stillman : Black man hauling ass through lily-white Port Richmond? Stands out like Vera in a bikini.

Lilly is really harsh on Rosie, projecting her own mother on her.
Rosie was actually a very good mother to Toya, given their situation.
Noone is arrested for the death of Toya but abominable Mister Freely will be convicted for child abuse.
Let the cursor hover on the picture for a few seconds to see the flashback photo of the character (when available).
