With 2 episodes left in the initial run of USA’s Graceland, this blog is a recap the
story for those just tuning in. Also, it will describe the show’s characters
whose story continues next Thursday after a short week hiatus.*may contain
details from episodes newer viewers have not as of seen yet*
Background Information (Plot): Mike Warren (Aaron Tveit)
successfully completes his FBI training. He was hoping to be sent to the D.C.
branch, but is sent to the “Graceland” beachfront house in California under
orders from his supervisor. This house has other undercover federal agents from
FBI, DEA and Customs in residence that immerse themselves in their cases: they
bond with the culprit to catch those who evade normal jurisdiction. Secrets are kept amongst each housemate that
add tension and have the potential to endanger covers.
Case Files-Paul Briggs (Daniel
Sunjata): Briggs is an intelligent FBI agent who finished near the top of
his FBI class. His background is a mystery that Mike has been sent to
investigate. Briggs does his job effectively and calls an “audible” if one of
his own is in danger. He is the lead on the case of international gangster Bello
(Gbenga Akinnagbe), and may be involved deeper than anyone of his housemates
realizes.
Joe “Johnny” Tuturro
(Manny Montana): Mostly referred to as “Johnny”, his relaxed nature is
balanced by his dedication to his assignments.
His personality can be seen as annoying depending on the mood of the
housemate in question. Johnny is a part of Brigg’s cover story whenever called
upon to assist in undercover investigations. Dale Jakes does not always get
along with this agent due to differences of opinion.
Paige Arkin (Serida
Swan):Agent that is good at blending in to her assignments. Briggs and she have
a history. Paige cares about those she works with at the “Graceland” beach
house, including new housemate Mike Warren. She is skilled at providing backup
in situations, whether it as on an assignment or at a local bar.
Catherine “Charlie”
DeMarco (Vanessa Ferlito):Charlie
is a federal agent with an amazing ability to get into character on an
assignment. Her recent assignments
involve the pursuit of Odin, a drug dealer with connections to Bello’s
operation. She assists in getting Mike Warren involved in this case and works
with him and Briggs as the case develops. Currently, she is working with agent
from across the border to find dangerous gang member by the nickname “Jangles”
Dale Jakes (Brandon
Jay McLaren):Little is known about Dale Jakes among those in the house as
the agent keeps to himself. When not on
a case, he attends to a personal matter that brings out the worst in his
personality. He can be easy going, but the matter of his private life outside
of the “Graceland” beach house makes him irritable. Johnny chooses wrong time
to cross paths with him and finds this out.
Assignment Progress
(Where The Story Left Off): Mike Warren is no longer undercover in Bello
investigation…The hunt for Odin and Jangles is getting more intense as these
two elements complicated the Bello case…Paul Briggs has been guarding his
secrets and soon finds out he has added another to that already growing
list…Mike Warren has confided in Paige about the hidden mission he has had
since coming to "Graceland" beach house.
