In the aftermath of his parents' divorce, Will (Eric McCormack) salvages a beloved garden gnome - nicknamed "Squatsie" - and proudly plants the childhood relic in his apartment's community area until Grace (Debra Messing) accidentally delivers a coup de grace on the gnome's dome with a shovel. Elsewhere, Jack (Sean Hayes) consults his acting coach (guest star Eileen Brennan, "Private Benjamin") when he fears that his heterosexual role in a mattress commercial produced by Karen (Megan Mullally) will stereotype him for more meaningful gay acting gigs in the future. Tom Poston ("Newhart") also guest-stars.

Something is wrong in the Rance household. Angela Rance suspects demonic possession and enlists the help of two priests: the progressive, but naïve, Father Tomas Ortega and the broken holy warrior, Father Marcus Keane. Together, they will be drawn into a nightmare beyond imagining.

Angela grows restless as her daughter's condition continues to deteriorate, and the demon turns its attention toward innocent victims. While Father Tomas is paid a visit by a familiar face from his past, Marcus journeys to an unexpected destination and receives guidance from a most unlikely source. With time quickly running out, the two priests must decide whether to defy the church by performing an unsanctioned exorcism.

The Rance family is engulfed in a firestorm of publicity after the media learns about the possession of Casey Rance. As Casey's story continues to make national headlines, Father Tomas finds himself unexpectedly thrust into the public spotlight. Meanwhile, Father Bennett attends a papal planning gala at Maria Walters' mansion, where members of high society gather to discuss the presence of angels in everyday life, and Marcus’ search for answers leads him into the terrifying underbelly of the city.

On the eve of Pope Sebastian's visit to Chicago, Marcus and his companions race to avert a potential tragedy. Tomas is offered a life-changing opportunity, but will the sins of the past endanger his future within the church -- Meanwhile, as the Rance family attempts to recover from their most recent ordeal, a new problem threatens to tear them apart.
