UNDERGROUND: Blucas and De Gouw Discuss the Hawkes

So far Underground has given us only small hints at the troubles and trials of the Hawkes (Marc Blucas and Jessica De Gouw) – from miscarriage to their decision to be a stop on the Underground Railroad.

Come back and discuss with us here after the episode airs at 10PM Eastern, 9PM Central on WGN America.
