A Saving Grace

[deandddd]

People,

How would one say "saving grace" in Spanish?

For example:

This went bad, and the other went bad, and so on; but the saving grace was that something good happened!

I thank you all in advance!

Rusty,

Why not "lo que le salva???

I suppose there are areas where 'le' might be used, but we're dealing with an expression that uses a direct object pronoun (with good reason).

Rusty,

Okie dokie!
