Saving Grace: ‘I Believe in Angels’ Finale Preview
April 12, 2009 by Chandra
And the second-season finale of TNT’s Saving Grace is here.
During the April 13th episode “I Believe in Angels,” OCPD’s finest investigate a murder committed by an elderly woman, as Leon Cooley’s execution date rolls around at last and Grace remains conflicted about whether or not to help prevent his death.
The detective also encounters another woman who might be on angel Earl’s visitation list, and Ham gets his hopes up about the direction of his relationship with Grace after his divorce is finalized.
Share a moment with Grace and her nephew Clay in the sneak-peek montage after the jump, which also features the customary squad room discussion, this one funnier than usual, and a little BFF time between Grace and Rhetta, which is more odd than humorous. Poor Rhetta!
Saving Grace: 'So What's the Purpose of a Platypus?' in Photos
April 6, 2009 by Chandra
“So What’s the Purpose of a Platypus?,” the April 6th episode of Saving Grace, delivers a good-sized wallop, both literally and figuratively.
During the hour, a vicious attack on Maggie (special guest star Kathy Baker) at Louie’s interrupts her plans to marry Grace’s brother-in-law Doug (Chris Mulkey). Meanwhile, Johnny and Rhetta’s letter-writing campaign to save Leon Cooley’s life hits a snag of its own when a damaging video surfaces.
The sneak peek for the episode is available in the earlier preview post, and follow the jump for a slew of stills that reveal quite a bit about the latest developments in Maggie and Doug’s relationship.
Incidentally, I just couldn’t resist including the photo of Grace’s humongous and fiercely loyal pooch Gus. What a looker!
Saving Grace: ‘So What’s the Purpose of a Platypus?’ Preview
The Monday, April 6, episode of Saving Grace is called “So What’s the Purpose of a Platypus?,” and there will be just two episodes left in the second season after it airs.
Two central plotlines unfold as we head toward the season finale, currently scheduled for April 20. Special guest star Kathy Baker (Picket Fences) returns as Doug’s love interest Maggie, a bartender at Louie’s. Unfortunately, their plans to get hitched are stalled when a stranger attacks Maggie at the bar, leaving her bloody (see preview photos to come) and understandably shaken.
The second plot involves death-row inmate Leon Cooley. As his execution date with the Grim Reaper steadily approaches, Grace’s brother Johnny and best friend Rhetta start a letter-writing campaign to help spare his life. Leon’s son Ben (Malcolm David Kelley of Lost) and Grace’s nephew Clay even pitch in. However, their efforts begin to seem futile when a damaging video shows up out of the blue.
Follow the jump for the episode’s sneak peek, a three-part montage that provides a glimpse into another squad-room brainstorming session among OCPD’s finest, Maggie and Doug’s visit to the police department, and Grace and Rhetta’s discussion of some critical evidence.
