Saving Grace

Her name is Grace. Duncan saves her.

Class dismissed.

Oh. There's more.

Here we see yet another mortal/Immortal couple (Paul and Grace), in which the mortal has grown older and decided that his "young" Immortal lover will leave him because he's so old. So he tells her he's going to leave her *first*. They fight. She leaves. A shot rings out. Paul falls down dead.

Inspector LeBrun decides that Grace did it, and the fact that she's a friend of Duncan MacLeod pretty much nails the coffin closed. LeBrun seeing Duncan with a two women, not just one, is in a jealous rage and vows to yadda yadda yadda.

Richie goes a-hunting for a baby in a Paris cemetery who would have been about Grace's apparent age, and Duncan procures ID papers for Grace in the baby' name ... kind of explaining how Immortals switch identities when their real and apparent ages grow too dissimilar.

Former lover Carlo Sendaro has been stalking Grace for a very long time, and he's the one who murdered Paul and framed Grace. Carlo drags Grace around Paris and finally down into the Metro where he is confronted by Duncan MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. They battle. A train beheads Carlo. Grace leaves for her new life, elsewhere.

Questions:

1. Instead of letting Carlo drag her around like that, couldn't Grace have planted her feet and screamed for a cop? I understand she's a doctor and all, and totally unused to having to defend herself, and certainly no player of The Game, but my god, wasn't she about the most helpless female since Sweet Polly Purebread got tied to the railroad tracks?

2. Wasn't Tessa just as understanding as she possibly could be? Kind and gentle and generous? And making pots of General Foods International Coffees "for times like these" and trudging them out to the deck of the barge? And didn't she believe Duncan when he said he didn't love Grace, and why are we going to see certain parallels drawn when she meets Amanda in the very next episode?

3. Are Immortals so bloodthirsty in general that Grace would expect an Immortal like Duncan to be after her only for her head when he first meets her as she's delivering a baby? I thought Duncan was being very sweet and she just assumed he was hunting. Or did she? Was that remark about killing her but leaving the mother and baby alone just protective coloration?

4. Don't we love seeing Duncan work on the barge? Don't we really love seeing that? (This question takes the place of the obligatory Duncan's pants question)

5. I'm of the opinion that Grace and Kronos spent some time together, and Grace really enjoyed herself. Explain why.

6. They could have named this episode: Amazing Grace, but they didn't. Justify this.

7. Extra credit: what did Carlos and Paul and Duncan see in Grace? I don't get it. Anyone who can explain the attraction satisfactorily will get an A for the day.
