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.
