Description:  Single mother Sophie Price has made a fortune on a cookie recipe and the resulting business. However she was only able to make this fortune because of the fortune she stole. In 1991, her adolescent son, Sean, witnessed a drug take-down and took the briefcase carrying the $200,000 drug money to his mother to turn in. Sophie instead decided to keep the money. Although that decision resulted in her being able to launch her cookie business, she started emotionally neglecting Sean as she was focused on the business and quest for more money. It made Sean depressed and sullen as a child and rebellious as a teenager. Further, Sgt. Selden Nichols, the police officer in charge of the drug take-down, was accused of stealing the money, that accusation which was a cloud over his pristine record. Othniel sends her back as Barbara Nash, Sean's new nanny. However, Othniel doesn't send her back to the time when Sean found the money, but six months afterward. This way, Othniel can see if Barbara/Sophie truly regrets stealing the money as she will now have to convince her younger self to return it after the fact.
