Things are continuing to get sticky for Grace Devlin (Jordana Spiro) on FOX’s The Mob Doctor as her two lives are meshing more than she’d like.

The show, about a doctor who is forced to repay her brother’s debt to the Chicago mob keeps putting its main character in some situations requiring morally ambiguous and professionally damaging decisions. On Episode 1 alone, mobster Paul Moretti (guest star Michael Rappaport) attempted to coerce her to kill a patient in the operating room.

In an exclusive Celebuzz clip of the second episode, it looks like Grace’s secret life is about to make a big dent in her professional career.

So what happens with Grace and her boss?

Ordering an inordinate amount of tests on a 92-year-old patient has raised the eyebrows of her superior.

When he threatens to write her up for running these unnecessary tests and “over-empathizing“ with the patient, a familiar face comes to the rescue.

Grace’s former boyfriend and right hand man of mobster Constantine Alexander (William Forsythe), Franco (James Carpinello), lies for Grace. Using what appear to be his best intimidation skills, he tells the doc that the patient is his grandfather and if he has a problem with how she’s treating him, he can take it up with him.

Uh-oh Grace.

Do you think Franco’s plea will help Grace? Let us know in the comments below!

When we asked Josh Berman and Rob Wright, the creators of FOX’s The Mob Doctor to give us one sentence on how to sell their show and main character Grace Devlin (Jordana Spiro) to the audience at the Paley Center for Beverly Hills, Berman told Celebuzz:

“I think what’s great about this character is everyone we know is juggling multiple pressures on themselves but most of us are not in the mob and most of us are not doctors but the themes in the show are relatable to all of us,” said Berman. “A woman that’s trying to get through her day with the pressures of her family, job and her extracurricular activity.”

The Mob Doctor stars Spiro as Grace Devlin, a woman with two lives, trying to maintain her life as a doctor while secretly working off her brother’s debt to the mob. Often she finds herself living the majority of her life in a grey and morally ambiguous area.

What attracted Spiro to the role?

She told us, “I loved this insatiable desire to do and fix and to try and control things that are uncontrollable and to try to feel some sort of powerfulness in an upbringing where they made her feel very powerless. I love that about her.”

“I loved this almost unconscious ability that she has inside of her to perhaps at some point even embrace this dark world she’s operating in,” Spiro, 35, added.

Part of this dark world includes interacting with her mob ex-boyfriend, Franco, played by James Carpinello. Spiro told us that though Grace is in another relationship, his character will continue to be very important to her as he’s one of the only people who know her secret.

“He starts to serve more as a person she can lean on because he knows everything that’s going on and knows everything about her,” the former My Boys star said. “The problem, of course, is they have a chemistry that isn’t exactly conducive to keeping her relationship with her doctor boyfriend in tact. “

Her doctor boyfriend, played by Friday Night Lights alum Zach Gilford, will find out about Grace and Franco’s connection in Episode 4, which is sure to bring even more drama into Grace’s already hectic life.

So other than the obvious reasons for how Grace is different from all those other TV doctors, What make her different? Spiro joked, “She has 35 hours a day. Every other one just has 24.”

Looks like Grace will be a busy girl in both of her worlds.

The Mob Doctor premieres Monday at 9 PM on FOX.
