'Big Sky' Episode 4 Preview: What 'painful' sacrifice does Grace make to save Danielle and Jerri?
'Big Sky' returns with another electrifying episode, as Jenny Hoyt (Katheryn Winnick) and Cassie Dewell (Kylie Bunbury) decide to piece together the mystery of the missing girls. They know something is definitely fishy about state trooper Rick Legarski (John Carroll-Lynch) and that he's somehow connected to the chaos of the abductions. He was also last seen with Jenny's estranged husband, Cody Hoyt (Ryan Phillippe), who has vanished as well. We know what happened to Cody, he was shot dead and thrown into a pit. Sadly, the ladies don't know that yet, but they're getting close to the truth.
In the upcoming episode, Jenny and Cassie run into Legarski. This isn't an innocent encounter, the girls have a plan. They pop a tracker into his SUV, without Legarski knowing. He pretends to be sympathetic to Jenny, when she tries to play the sad wife looking for her husband while Cassie keeps shooting daggered looks at Legarski. In the episode, Jenny and Cassie also decide to up their game as the disappearance of Danielle and Grace goes public. The synopsis reads, "Legarski attempts to keep cool, but Ronald takes a different approach to protecting himself. Still captive, Danielle and Jerrie tend to Grace, who makes a painful decision in an attempt to save them all."
In the previous episode, Grace actually escaped from Ronald Pergman's creepy truck dungeons into the open, but of course, as fate had it, she ran into Legarski himself, who brought her straight back after shooting her with an arrow in the leg. Danielle and Jerri tried to escape too, by attacking Ronald, but that didn't work, as he always has a taser ready...something they already knew.
In an interview to TvLine, Jade Pettyohn, the actress who plays Grace opened up about her character being the one to figure things out, quicker than her fellow captives. "What I love most about Grace and how she’s written is that she’s never really absorbed by her fear. Fear, of course, is inevitable in a situation like this, but she’s never consumed or debilitated by it. She’s always using her mind. She’s always problem-solving, she thinks very analytically and she takes matters into her own hands. That ultimately is the one thing that she and her sister both have in terms of getting out, and that hope of potentially moving forward is Grace’s unwavering strength."
'Big Sky' airs on ABC, Tuesdays at 10 pm.
