But when the painting is delivered to her, the artist finds herself facing a surprising question -- is the missing Degas painting she is supposed to reproduce itself a forgery? And if so, what should she do about it, when to say anything would risk losing everything that she has fought so hard to gain?

CHANGES IN GOOGLE ASSISTANT:
SOME FEATURES GOING AWAY
Google Assistant is a virtual assistant software that provides a great deal of help in many different areas.

Unfortunately, that means some features will be disappearing. CLICK HERE to learn more about what will be changing with — and vanishing from — the well-known virtual assistant.
