‘Saving Hope’ S4 Ep 17 recap: Go in peace
Holy moly, Hopefuls! A season-long twist in the making was finally revealed in “Anybody Seen My Baby.” We should’ve seen it coming, but we really didn’t (or at least I didn’t…did you?!)

‘Saving Hope’ S4 Ep 13 recap: Letting go
Remember how I said Kristine crossed a line by kissing Charlie in the last episode?
