I think Michelle is even colder when she moves to France to marry a businessman ("Limbo"), while Magnum lays dying in a hospital bed.
What a scandalous ho.

Michelle & Nguyen seemed to have a very close and trusting relationship (e.g., he knew about her "marriage" to Magnum), so she may very well have told him that Magnum was Lily's father.
Or Nguyen may have simply thought that Lily took after her mother. As someone said back a ways, some European/Asian people look very European. I once met a blond woman, a very typical-looking blond woman, who (her best friend later told me) was half Japanese.

Love this one! Can we say tearjerker??? Can't believe how much I bawled while watching this episode.
I wonder how old Kristen Carreira really was when this episode was filmed? Her imdb page has no biography. She appeared to be the age of the character, but how did they get 5 or 6 year old to do her lines in French and Vietnamese? I liked that she seemed kind of babyish like a real 5 year old would be. Usually 5 yr olds on TV or in movies act and talk much older/smarter than real kids. One more thing that was a clue that Lily was Thomas's daughter was her middle name Catherine. That's TM's mother's name. Makes sense that Michelle would name her after her grandmother. I wish Thomas would have mentioned this when presenting his evidence to Higgins that she might be his daughter, but its a small quivel with an otherwise excellent episode.
I did think Michelle was a little cold here, but I'll chalk it up to the stressful situation she was in. Would have been nice to see them at least hug.
Also, Higgins was awesome in this one!

That's so interesting what you said about Lily's middle name! I never put those two together.
I love this one too, but it's been awhile since I've seen it. I've got to get off the keyster and revisit some of these episodes!

I'm guessing that "Lily" is/was Michelle's mother's name, so little Lily is named after her two grandmothers.
I'm also guessing that Kristen Carreira got the part (despite her evident lack of acting experience) because she was the right age and could already speak French. Perhaps she could also speak Vietnamese, though near as I recall, her use of that language was pretty much limited to "bup be" (or however that's spelt).

Good episode and obviously an important one as the series is concerned. Definitely kind of a downer Mag episode though...I guess they were trying to clear some things up due to it being season 7 and all.
All in all, good episode

Hey, I was pretty close! Before posting the above, I tried to get the official spelling by searching the Internet for <vietnamese doll>, and also tried Babel Fish, but with no luck. T'other day, I noticed that Google now has a translation service, with a WHOLE lot of languages available (just click on "Language tools" to the right of the regular search box), so just now I ran "doll" through their machinery, and it came up with "búp bê" -- now I know.

As Higgins would say, quite!
