Ellie Grant

Ellie Grant is Zoe Grant's mother, Scott Grant's wife, and an Odyssey police officer returning to duty after years at home with her family. She values accountability even when speaking honestly may make coworkers angry. During her first shift back, Ellie is paired with Officer Stew Burke and sees behavior that appears careless and unsafe. Rather than remain silent to protect her own acceptance, she gives Detective Polehaus a written recommendation that Burke receive more training. Ellie has learned the cost of avoiding difficult truth after a careless officer and partner were once hurt. At home, she encourages Olivia Parker to hold Zoe accountable with the same loving courage. Responsible and direct, Ellie believes real care sometimes requires an uncomfortable warning.
