Drop Dead Diva Review: I Hit Return

Wow. I did not see that ending coming! 

Drop Dead Diva has been surprising me quite a bit these days – and Drop Dead Diva Season 6 Episode 10 was no exception.

We all knew Grayson would find a way back, we just didn't know who he would come back as…

… and it was a convict! 

Grayson: Jane, it’s me. It’s Grayson.

Jane: This isn’t funny and I’m hanging up.

Grayson: No listen, it’s me. I hit return. And I’m back.

🔗 permalink: No listen, it’s me. I hit return. And I’m back.

Okay, okay. Let's wait until next week when we find out what he's in prison for. The important thing is that he found a way to hit return even after they removed all of the return buttons in heaven.

How great was it to see Fred again?!?

I love how he was unable to hide his shock and his knowledge from Grayson. Grayson was like 'Ok buddy, clearly you know Jane, Stacy, and Deb, what the hell is going on?'

Personally, I don't think Fred was a bad guardian angel to Jane at all. But, either way, he has now done her the biggest favor and found a way to send the love of her life back to earth. It's not up to him where Grayson would end up.

What does that say about Grayson's love for Jane that he was willing to do anything, be anyone, just as long as he could get back to her? I feel a collective "Aw" coming on!

Owen was great this week, very caring and attentive. I felt for Jane when she flipped out about Stacy and Owen's stupid argument. Life is just too damn short for all the pettiness that goes on.

I like that Jane was able to find her way back from the dark place after Grayson's funeral by taking over his case and kicking some major ass. She got justice for that woman while taking down a bunch of corrupt cops. I'd say that it a good day for the books!

Plus, it helped Jane feel somewhat functional again and that's the best you can hope for when dealing with a loss.

I wonder what will happen no.  What do you think new Grayson is in jail for? How great was it to see Fred?

For tonight's poll question, I would like to know: Do you think Fred was a bad guardian angel like he claimed?

Drop Dead Diva Review: One Last Second Chance

A lot was riding on Drop Dead Diva Season 6 Episode 11 once Grayson hit the return button into a brand new life.

This development has given the series a shot of adrenaline as it marches towards the series finale (I know, I'm still bummed about that too).

Drop Dead Diva Season 6 Episode 10 was a definite game-changer for the program, as Grayson's death and eventual return into Ian's body brought the show's love story full circle.

Now that both Deb and Grayson have the shared experience of getting a second chance, they can truly understand each other completely. Grayson finally has a deeper meaning of what it was like for Deb when she took over for Jane; and Jane now understands what it was like for Grayson when he found out the truth about her. 

The biggest fear I had about "Ian" was that he's not Grayson. Jackson Hurst has been Grayson for so long that I was not sure that I could ever truly envision Jane with someone else. For all intents and purposes, we never really knew Deb; we've always been with Jane.

It's not the same for Grayson, but Ian still has enough Grayson in him to do Grayson justice (but I'm still going to miss Grayson's old body). 

Ian very much feels like Grayson. Having Jane walk him through his growing pains and becoming accustomed to his new life and body eases the burden for Grayson and the doubt I was feeling about the return button. There's no second guessing or wondering that Grayson hit return for and wound up in Ian – he is really in there.

Most important, though, for Jane and Grayson, it's never been about the body, but rather the soul as Jane mentions to Ian:

Jane: After what we’ve been through a little thing like Death Row isn’t going to keep us apart.

🔗 permalink: After what we’ve been through a little thing like Death Row isn’t going to keep us apart.

But the body does matter because aside from Stacy, and maybe Paul, no one else is in on what really happened. Owen, and soon everyone else in Jane's life, are going to see Jane starting a relationship with a man she helped get off death row.

Owen's already shocked and bothered at the end of the installment by Jane kissing Ian. 

This is what intrigues me the most: how does Ian get back to being Grayson without being Grayson? Ian might be out of prison, but his stint on death row is going to follow him for the rest of his life. There's no saying whether or not he'll be able to practice law, and they still need to figure out a story for the people in their lives.

With that in mind…

What happens next for Jane and Ian?
