GRACEPOINTS1, E2
Episode Two
After Ellie is given a list from the Solanos of those they think might have killed Danny, police discover cocaine in Chloe's bedroom and $500 under Danny's bed. Ellie questions Chloe, who says she was holding it for her employer, Gemma Fisher of the Crestview Inn. Gemma claims some guests were asking for the cocaine, and Chloe provided it, but Gemma didn't know who gave it to Chloe. Ellie promised to protect Gemma's reputation, causing an argument with Carver about protecting and trusting the townspeople. Carver is told by Jack Reinhold that he saw Danny talking and joking with a hiker on the cliffs ten days before his death. Beth feels stressed at home and goes to the supermarket, only to break down after seeing Danny's favourite cereal. She confides to Paul Coates, her longtime friend and town priest, that she is pregnant. This prompts him to offer comfort to the community. At the police station, Ellie and Carver watch footage of the parking lot near the crime scene to see Mark waiting for someone. Phone engineer Raymond Connelly glimpses a file on Danny and tells them that he was told by Danny from beyond the grave that he was killed near water or a boat. Chloe tells her boyfriend Dean that the cocaine was found. She gets upset when he insinuates it will come back on him. She walks away and meets Renee, who gives her a phone number for future use. Carver visits Susan Wright, caretaker of a beach house near the crime scene, to get the keys to it. It is revealed that she is keeping Danny's skateboard inside her mobile home. While Ellie and crime scene technicians find Danny's blood and shoe prints at the beach house, Carver questions Mark. He initially lies about his alibi but then reveals being out with a friend that he refuses to name. Ellie calls Carver to say Mark's finger prints were found in the beach house.
