Anne Glass is a fictional character on the TNT television series Falling Skies played by Moon Bloodgood. She is the de facto female lead. Falling Skies tells the story of the aftermath of a global invasion by several races of extraterrestrials that neutralizes the world's power grid and technology, quickly destroys the combined militaries of all the world's countries, and apparently kills over 90% of the human population within a few days. Anne was a pediatrician before the invasion. She is very inclined towards the civilians, and believes that they should do all they can to help them. Her husband and son were killed at home in the bombings during the invasion.
In the first season, Anne Glass is the 2nd Mass doctor. Before the invasion, Glass was a pediatrician. She forms a close bond with Tom Mason and his three sons Hal, Ben and Matt. Her husband and young son were killed during the attacks. Anne begins to remove Harnesses from the captured kids and saves Tom's son, Ben. She tries to communicate with a captured Skitter, before killing it silently by taking advantage of the "soft palate" in the back of the Skitter's mouth.
While Anne is treating a young boy, his father robs the infirmary of medical supplies. She learns how to shoot a gun in order to defend herself. Near the end of the season Tom and Anne grow closer. When the 2nd Mass is fleeing the school, Tom puts Anne in charge of his sons while he leaves for the city. Before he leaves, Tom kisses Anne.
In the second season, Anne Glass deals with the after effects of the Battle of Fitchburg along with the other members of the 2nd Mass, and is on the road traveling. During the journey she becomes closer to Tom, which later develops into an intimate relationship. She also saves the life of Captain Dan Weaver who had been infected by a Skitter and as a result was suffering from a life-threatening infection. She does this by devising a radical treatment plan in the hospital the 2nd Mass found themselves in, which successfully cures him. She then later travels to Charleston with the other members of the 2nd Mass.
When she arrives in Charleston she quickly offers her services as a Doctor and is put to work. When she joins Tom, Hal, Maggie, Ben on a dangerous plan to assassinate an Overlord. Karen reveals her secret that she's pregnant to Tom and the group who are being restrained in front of the Overlord. Karen threatens her safety in an attempt to get the group to talk but later escapes and returns safely to Charleston unharmed along with the rest of the group.
