Speaking of her cameo, Hatcher told TV Guide, "I'm at a place where I feel a lot of sentimental attachment to that character, to the show and to the genre of that timeless story, so I was really flattered that they asked."

Clark accompanies her to an orphanage run by Granny Goodness who may not have the young girls' best intentions in mind.
