A man must have written the plot summary for this episode. Grace doesn't show signs of self-hatred! Her behavior is rooted in a traumatic experience she had in childhood. That is also why she renounced religion. She is not estranged from her family or they wouldn't be showing up in her life. Notice that men are intimidated by Grace who in her own words "is not afraid" of them. She is a free spirit who cares more for what she thinks of herself than what others think of her! She met Earl when he contrived a false situation in which she runs down a man. Her reputation, job, and freedom, not her life, seemed to be in danger when she said, "Oh God!" I like Earl take on religion: doesn't have to any particular one, doesn't even have to follow rules made up by man. Belief can be as quirky as Earl, the foodie, t-shirt wearing angel that chews tobacco! Earl is trying to get Grace to show the caring she has for others and stop behaviors that hurt others. It hurts Darlene that Ham wants Grace. It hurts others when she drinks. It hurts Rhetta when lies. It is hurtful behavior that the Angel of God is asking her to change. Notice that he is asking the same of Leon Cooley, a convicted murderer! Another lesson from Earl: all sins can be forgiven!
