When she finally reaches the lowest point in her life, she is visited by an unconventional angel named Earl (Leon Rippy) who tries to guide Hanadarko to a more peaceful life while also providing her cryptic clues to the events around her.NY Daily News: Saving Grace Still Mixes Grit with Gospel (March 2, 2009)
