"Watch Over Me" -- The team searches for a social worker who disappears after forcibly removing a 7-year-old girl from the home of her violent father and desperate mother, on WITHOUT A TRACE, Sunday, Nov. 19 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Bobby Roth directed the episode written by Byron Balasco & David Mongan.

Academy Award nominee and Tony Award nominee Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio ("The Color of Money," "Man of La Mancha") returns as Jack's girlfriend and colleague, FBI agent Anne Cassidy. Reed Diamond ("Homicide: Life on the Street," "Judging Amy") guest stars as missing social worker Eric Hayes.

As the team investigates if the 7-year-old girl's father retaliated against Eric, they also look at the families of the 19 other children with whom Eric has similar dealings who may be out for revenge. After learning that Eric lamented to his wife that he hadn't made a difference as a social worker and that he recently cleaned out his retirement account, the agents wonder if he simply left in despair. Meanwhile, Jack tells Samantha his big news about Anne and Danny admits to Martin that this case hits too close to home and is dredging up bad memories of his own sad childhood.
