In the second half of "Major Crimes" season 4, Rusty Beck (Graham Patrick Martin) will finally meet the mother who abandoned him.

According to TV Guide, Sharon Beck, previously played by actress Ever Carradine back in 2014, will resurface to see Rusty. For fans of the procedural, she has been known as a thoroughly irresponsible parent. When Rusty was 15, Sharon left him in a zoo and ran away with a man. The boy was forced to subsist by becoming a prostitute until the Major Crimes unit asked him to become a witness against Phillip Stroh (Billy Burke), a criminal who buried one of his victims in Griffith Park. Rusty witnessed the entire thing. While waiting for the trial, he stayed with Sharon Raydor (Mary McDonnell).

The Los Angeles Police Department tried to locate Rusty's mother when the case was closed. When she was found in Nevada, Sharon's unit provided for her bus ticket. Rusty waited, but his mother did not come. It turned out she changed her mind halfway in the journey and ran away with another man. In season 3, Sharon officially adopted Rusty. When he became interested in journalism, she supported him. Sharon has become a good mother for Rusty and he has always been thankful of her.

Now that his biological mother has reappeared again, what will Rusty feel? Will she give her another chance? So much has happened since she left him alone and scared at the zoo. His Major Crimes family has cared for him and made him feel like he belongs. This woman, who chose to give him up, her own flesh and blood, is asking for an audience with him. Will Rusty see her? And what about Sharon? How will she feel with this sudden turn of event?

"Major Crimes" season 4 will return on Monday, Feb. 15, at 9 p.m. EST on TNT.
