Go To

A deathrow inmate named Carter Wright will be executed today, but Alicia gets a mysterious call from a clerk makes the legal team think they can prove his innocence. Shannon convinces Grace to test the power of faith by praying that Carter lives.

  • Dying Alone: Diane is the only one visiting Carter on the day of his execution. She begs his adult daughter to visit too.
  • Running Gag: The main bathroom in Alicia's apartment is clogged, so people have to use the one in her bedroom.
  • Title Drop: Will declares that if they can't prove his innocence, Carter will die in nine hours.
