    Grace and the team investigate several robberies around the area when a mentally handicaped boy winds up dead. Grace's neighbor's nephew is in town and Grace takes a liking to him. hide show

    You know, i know Grace is wild and all, but she is really great with her nephew. So the team investigates several robberies in the area when they find the body of a mentally handicaped boy. All of the robberies involve a couple thousand dollars (at most) missing and a random item such as candy, which leads the detectives to think one of the other handicaped people might be doing it. They find hand carved wooden guns at the scene, along with an almond, mask, and a ring from a tv figure known as Gumshoe. The investigation eventually leads the team to a man named Ralph who helped set up the robberies with a friend of the dead boy's sister. Grace appears to really be liking this new guy because she hasn't slept with him yet. I thought it was funny when Earl brought that up, and the way he did it. This man appears to be an Athiest, which i thought Grace was acting attracted for the man just for that reason to spite Earl. However, when she doesn't turn into her normal wild self and passes on the drinking or on sleeping with this guy yet, Rhetta and Earl think Grace might really like him. I was starting to think so too until i saw the end of the episode where i'm assuming she slept with him while examining his "telescope." This guy also seems to be a proffesional on stars and astrology. This was another great episode and i can't wait to see what happens next week on the 2 part finale event.
