Top 10 moments from 'Gracepoint' episode eight

Gracepoint is getting intense as we get to the final few episodes of this 10-episode series arc. Danny Solano’s killer still remains a mystery, but there are plenty of suspects. In this latest episode, the town is thankful when Tom Miller is finally found by Paul Coates and everyone tries to get back to normal. Ellie continues her work with Carver, who is beginning to get worse with his illness.

Meanwhile, the Solanos’ try to get back to normal with Chloe going back to school and Mark going to work. Plus, Beth goes out to meet with the mother of a victim from Carver’s previous case. But when Chloe and Mark are unable to handle school and work respectively, the family goes to spend time together to try and be normal in the wake of their loss.

By the way, remember the skateboard we saw in Susan’s closet in an early episode? As it turns out, it was indeed Danny’s skateboard, as we find out when she returns it. Carver and Ellie are determined to talk to her, but when her dog goes missing, she clamps shut. We’ll have to wait until next week to find out her story, as Thanksgiving means no new episode this week.

There were too many amazing and surprising moments in this episode and it’s so hard to narrow down which ones made the list, but here are some of the best moments from the eighth episode of Gracepoint.

10. Meaningless

Mark is not thrilled with Paul Coates, especially since he knows that he is still in love with Beth, even if he won’t admit it. He tells Carver his suspicions, especially since Paul was the one to find Tom’s bike and the boy himself.

9. Paul

The detectives question Paul, especially since they found out he had a problem with narcotics. He insists he is innocent, but he isn’t helping himself very much not to look like a suspect.

8. Renee’s back

Renee comes back to town in this episode, but no one trusts her, and Owen won’t return her phone calls. She ends up sleeping in her car where Beth finds her and asks about speaking with the mother of the little girl who was killed where Carver was a detective.

7. Beth and the mother

Beth meets with the mother of a murder victim, hoping to get some answers on how to move past the pain she is living with. She finds out about Carver’s handling of the case and she can see that the mother is still very traumatized by her daughter’s death. The meeting doesn’t leave Beth feeling any better.

6. Finding Chloe

After being unable to handle school, Chloe calls Dean to come pick her up. Mark, who was not doing well at work himself, sees this and he calls Beth so they can find their daughter. In a touching scene, the parents listen as Chloe tells them she couldn’t deal with the stares and that for once, she didn’t want to be seen as “the dead kid’s sister.” Mark and Beth listen intently and tell her they are going to take care of her.

5. First name

An amusing moment occurs when Carver calls Ellie by her first name when he is talking to her during her search for Tom. He tells her to go home and get some rest. Later after Tom has been found, she calls him by his first name, but he goes back to asking for last names. Ellie asks if anyone has ever informed him that he runs hot and cold. Carver tells her it’s always been the latter.

4. Susan’s dog

When Susan is at Kathy’s newspaper office, Carver and Ellie arrive to take her to the station. While this is going on, Vince finds her dog outside and takes him to his house. Angry when she realizes her dog is gone, Susan refuses to say a word until they find her dog. Meanwhile, Vince takes the dog to his house and we see him hold rifle to the dog’s head before putting it down to give him a treat. So we have to wonder, why does Vince have the dog?

2. Skateboard

Danny’s skateboard has been missing since his murder and we finally learned its whereabouts. It turns out, Susan did have it and she returned it to Tom Miller, who was very confused upon receiving it. When his dad sees his son with him, he orders Tom to drop it. Now that we know the skateboard we saw in her closet did belong to Danny, we can only speculate why she had it.

1. The baby

During this episode, the Solanos decide to skip school and work in order to spend time together as a family to try and get a sense of normalcy. They go bowling together where Chloe proceeds to kick her parents’ butt. Then, she sees that she is about to beat her brother’s high score and she is nervous and quietly pleads with Danny not to hate her. They later go outside where Beth is drinking from a cup and Mark playfully tries to take it. Instead, she runs ahead and tells them that she needs to drink calcium for the baby, making it look like she has decided to keep the baby after all.
