There's quite a lot of celestial activity on planet Earth as Touched By an Angel begins its ninth and final season. Roma Downey returns as heavenly caseworker Monica, whose job it is to seek out mortals in need of redemption, salvation and self-forgiveness. As before, Monica is assisted by her angelic supervisor Tess (Della Reese), former Angel of Death and current co-caseworker Andrew (John Dye), and apprentice angel Gloria (Valerie Bertinelli). Season highlights include "Jump!," featuring Daniel Baldwin as a radio "shock jock" who learns that there is more to life than a big ratings share; "Private Eyes," in which Monica poses as a film noir femme fatale to bring redeption to a hard-boiled detective (Stacy Keach); and "As It Is in Heaven," wherein Monica and Tess have quite a time on their 200th assignnment together. The two-part series finale finds Monica being put to the test for a possible promotion to Heavenly supervisor. This requires her to instinctively provide the proper assistance to a mysterious-looking drifter. Much to Monica's surprise (and professional gratification), the man in need turns out to be the Son of Man. ~ Rovi
