5 Things to Know About ABC Forever's

ABC's Forever is about to serve up another trademark episode of poignant drama and repulsive corpses with February 3rd's "Hitler on the Half Shell."

The episode sees Henry and Jo questioning if their latest murder victim was a villain or a hero when they find his corpse among millions of dollars worth of stolen wartime art.

Meanwhile, via flashback, Henry comes to terms with his father's failings, and in the present day, Abe regrets he never got to know his parents who died as victims of the Holocaust when he was a baby.

We've seen this episode a little earlier than most, thanks to our friends at ABC. If you’re a regular reader of our ScreenSpy articles then you’ll know we don’t go for revealing spoilers that would otherwise ruin your enjoyment of the episode (we want you to enjoy it as much as we did) but we can provide you with a number of teasers to get you in the mood for some plot-twisting, quip-flying, scarf-wearing drama come Monday.

Without further ado, here are 5 things to know about Feb. 3rd's “Hitler on the Half Shell.”

Forever stars Ioan Gruffudd as Henry, Judd Hirsch as Abe, Alana De La Garza as Detective Jo Martinez, Lorraine Toussaint as Lt. Joanne Reece, Donnie Keshawarz as Detective Hanson and Joel David Moore as Lucas.

Guest starring are Burn Gorman as Adam, Patrick Woodall as Erik, Harris Yulin as Eli, and Daniel Gerroll as Robert.

Mr. Weinraub, I presume?

Although it’s hard to see how a story involving stolen Nazi art and a double murder could intersect with the most touching Abe scene the show has produced yet, it does so seamlessly.

An unexpected act of kindness from a surprising source will have you reaching for the Kleenex.
