About SAVING GRACE & Episode Guides

We all need some Grace in our lives.

Saving Grace Aired From July 23, 2007 - June 23, 2010 On TNT


ABOUT THE SHOW:

SAVING GRACE stars Hunter in an astonishing performance that earned her Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations. Her character “Grace Hanadarko“ is a top-notch, forceful investigator whose wild personal life translates into a no-holds-barred approach to her detective work. She takes every case to heart, especially cases in which women or children are victimized. Whether skirting the law in order to get an illegal alien to talk to the police, using a tornado as an opportunity to interrogate a suspect, or protecting a witness by having him spend the night in her own home, Grace is the kind of detective any homicide squad would be lucky to have. Grace's personal life, however, is heading in an entirely different direction. She lives hard and fast, having numerous affairs, including with her partner Ham and fellow detective Butch, not to mention a memorable night with medical examiner Henry Silver.

Fascinated by Earl's presence in Grace's life is her best friend and criminalist colleague, Rhetta Rodriguez. When she's not helping Grace solve complex crimes or arguing with Grace over tainted evidence, Rhetta pulls together clues from Earl's visits and tries to help Grace make sense of them.

Grace Hanadarko is an Oklahoma City police detective who has spiraled along a path of self-destruction. After witnessing a horrific tragedy she turns to alcohol with a vengeance. She combines her drinking with driving and the results have her striking a man out for a walk. Distraught, Grace asks for help and it arrives in the form of an angel named Earl. Earl offers to help Grace get back on track in her life. As far as she has strayed off path, it won't be easy for Grace to turn her life around.



2. Bring It On, Earl

While hunting deer, Grace and Ham get called into work on their day off. Oilman Beau Grady was murdered with a tire iron. Grace unravels a love triangle between Beau, his business partner, and his wife -- a triangle that reflects Grace's relationships with Ham and Butch. For a pair of shoes, an informant named Pup supplies our officers with a man who may be helpful in solving the crime. Unfortunately, he turns out to be Lieutenant Yukon's brother, and the results are disastrous. Rhetta starts an Earl file in the office, based on angel evidence Grace brings in. Earl attempts to get Grace closer to God by any means necessary -- even wrestling her in Athens to prove a point. Leon and Grace try, but can't remember what Earl looks like.

Grace gets some helpful hints from Pippa-the-prostitute and a moral nutcase who videotapes hookers and johns. Earl sets up a multitude of religious shrines in Grace's home hoping she'll pick out a path that suits her best. Perry gives Butch a hard time regarding his University of Texas belt and memorabilia. Grace continues her affair with Ham.



4. Keep Your Damn Wings Off My Nephew

A 17-year-old devout Christian comes under attack just days before he's scheduled to testify in a murder trial. In order to ensure his safety, Grace allows him to move in with her. But Grace can only handle so much preaching, so she ropes the guys into helping her watch over him. Grace gets pissed when Earl uses Leon Cooley and her nephew, Clay, to get her attention.



5. Would You Want Me to Tell You?

Grace and Ham play cops and robbers with toy guns. Grace's favorite Aunt Cathy comes to town has a run in with Earl, clashes with Betty and reveals some shocking news. But first -- Rhetta, Grace, and Aunt Cathy get drunk and remember old times. Meanwhile, cattle tycoon Alvin Green's world begins to crumble after his lucky bull statue is stolen. He insists Major Crimes take the case. When Grace's father has a fire station named after him, Grace's family comes together for the dedication ceremony. Henry's cat dies and Grace comforts him the only way she knows how.

Meanwhile, death-row inmate Leon is allowed time with his own issues, but he must deal with the possibility that his ex-wife's boyfriend will end up adopting his son.



9. A Language of Angels

The squad investigates the murder of a young woman who was tortured by her killer. Elements of the crime remind Grace of a crime that happened 11 years ago, a crime that hits eerily close to home for her. Meanwhile, Rhetta hypothesizes that the items Earl leaves behind after his angelic visits to Grace might have some sort of hidden meaning. She begins to investigate what that meaning might be, even going to death-row inmate Leon Cooley to see if Earl has left any items for him. Rhetta is then shocked by what she discovers as she begins putting things together.



10.        It's Better When I Can See You


After a deadly school bus accident in which several children are killed, the team's investigation turns up information about a recall on the bus' rear axle.

The investigation leads to the special home in which Georgie was living where his friend Andrew quickly becomes the key to solving the mystery. But Andrew's own disabilities makes it difficult for Grace to get the information she needs to solve the case. Meanwhile, Grace begins dating Jack, the grown son of her elderly, voyeuristic neighbor. Jack is an atheist, which provides a unique challenge for Earl.



12.        Is There a Scarlet Letter on My Breast?


A court trial for the murderer of a young woman is about to begin, and the brash defense attorney must go over the entire investigation with a fine-toothed comb, even if it means digging into the officers' personal lives. Grace's own sex life is put on display for all to see just as she is supposed to attend her nephew Clay's upcoming confirmation. And Grace's partner, Ham, decides to make his true feelings known to Grace.



13.        Tacos, Tulips, Ducks and Spices

Pictures of Grace's sister, Paige, talking to an unknown man are found in a burned vehicle. At first, Grace suspects that Paige is having an affair, but later she uncovers a different story about the man in the photos. Rhetta tries to make sense of the various items Earl has left behind for Grace and soon discovers the shocking truth that devastates Grace and forces her to face her painful past.
