Previously, on "God Friended Me"...

Your last article is trending

at the top of the
"Catapult" leaderboard.

- So any news on the job hunt?
- Not yet.

Why do you not work in IT?

It is a technology company, is it not?

Yes, um, I don't have
my bachelor's degree.

We just got word from the diocese.

Unfortunately, they're going
with Reverend Thompson.

Bishop Thompson,
what a pleasant surprise.

I've been looking for a chief of staff.

- What do you say?
- I was just hoping

that this next chapter of our lives

was gonna be about us together.

Now that Joy's gone,

maybe that's the last we
hear from the God Account.

Just got a new Friend Suggestion.

Miles, slow... slow down!

Seriously.

Look, I never thought I would
be the one catching up to you.

What can I say? I'm in a good mood...

especially because we have
our Friend Suggestions back.

Yeah, speaking of which,
did Rakesh find out anything

- about Claire Thompson?
- Not yet.

Her Facebook page is
private, but he said,

"I will have it hacked by 10:00 a.m."

So it sounds like
everything is going back

to the way that it should be.

Actually, you're right about that.

My old boss, Natalie,

got promoted to editor in chief.

She called this morning

and offered me my job in features back.

- Congratulations. That's incredible.
- Thank you.

I came back from Paris to write stories

that were personal to me.

This just feels right...

and so does this.

I'm glad we finally have time for us.

I agree, which is why

I made dinner reservations
for us tonight.

- You did?
- Uh-huh.

8:00 p.m. at Momofuku.

Sounds great.

Oh, it's Rakesh.

He got access to Claire's Facebook page.

Wait, what is it?

Do you remember Reverend Thompson,

the guy who beat my dad in the election

to become bishop of New York?

Yeah, what about him?

Claire Thompson is his daughter.

Not much on her Facebook.

Says she's a registered
nurse, but doesn't say where.

Wait, you said that Bishop Thompson

and your dad were friends, right?

Yeah, I can give him a call,

see if he can introduce us to Claire.

No need. According to
the church's website,

the bishop and his family
are hosting a celebration

of the new ministry today.

Well, then, we should
congratulate the bishop

- on his win.
- We should.

You guys are gonna have
to survive without me.

I got a romantic lunch date with Jaya.

- Nice, where you going?
- Hospital cafeteria.

Okay, it isn't romantic-romantic,

but Jaya's doing a rotation
at New York General,

and it's keeping her pretty
busy, so gotta improvise.

Make sure to talk to Reverend Martinez

about the divinity scholarship programs.

- He agreed to come?
- Well, not at first.

You really are a miracle worker.

So how'd Trish feel about this trial run

as chief of staff?

I haven't told her about it yet.

Um, I want to be certain
that I can make this work

before I let my family know.

Understood, but we can make it work.

I promise.

Excuse me.

Miles, Cara.

So good to see you.

- Welcome home.
- Thank you.

Dad, what are you doing here?

Oh, um, Bishop Thompson
asked me to come by

and help with introductions,

ease his transition as
bishop of New York.

But the more important question
is, what are you doing here?

Actually, we're here to talk
to his daughter, Claire.

Why, what's going on?

She's my Friend Suggestion.

After Joy went back to Chicago,

I started getting them again,
and she's the first one back.

Is there anything you
can tell us about her?

I've known Claire since she was little.

Um, as far as I know,
she's doing really well.

Wait, what do you mean,
"doing really well?"

Come on, Dad. Dad, you
know we're here to help.

She's in recovery.

Two years sober.

But if the God Account sent me her name,

maybe something's happened.

For Claire's sake, I hope not,

but I'll introduce you.

Claire, a minute?

This is my son Miles and
his girlfriend, Cara.

- Hey...
- Nice to meet you.

- You, too.
- Hey, congratulations on your dad

- becoming bishop.
- Oh, thank you.

Um, excuse me.

So you must have to attend
a lot of these events.

Yeah, my dad likes to remind everyone

that he is a family man
as well as a bishop.

Well, I know what it's like,
growing up as a pastor's kid.

Sometimes they set the bar high

and it's tough when you're
not able to reach it.

And when you don't,
they won't let you forget it.

Sorry, that sounded kind of terrible.

I love my dad.

My parents got divorced when I was four,

and, well, we've been
together ever since.

The relationship's just
a bit complicated.

Wanna talk about complicated?
I'm an atheist.

Okay, um, I admit

that's missing the bar
pretty spectacularly.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, it's just a friend.

Um, I'm gonna have to go, so...

Miles, you remember Bishop Thompson.

Oh, of course, of course.

- It's good to see you again.
- You, too.

Um, Dad, sorry to cut out,

but, uh, I have to go to work.

I thought you had the day off?

My daughter

is a registered nurse
at New York General.

Oh, New York General.

We have a friend there.
Do you know Dr. Jaya Desai?

I'm sure we might have crossed paths.

It's a pretty big hospital.

But, um, sorry, Dad, I didn't mean work.

I meant I had to go to a meeting.

Oh, okay, good. Call me later.

Okay, um, nice to meet you guys.

Excuse me, but I have
to make the rounds.

Well, did you find out anything?

No, and something definitely feels off.

Yeah, whatever it is,

she doesn't want her
father to know about it.

Dad, don't worry.

I'm gonna figure out what's going on.

You're such a good boyfriend

to have lunch in between my rounds.

I mean, for a hospital cafeteria,

they make a mean burrito.

So, good news:

my parents want to have dinner with us.

I'm sorry, how is that good news?

They don't exactly like me.

Of course they like you.

Okay, so let's use this as a chance

to show them how good you're doing now.

It'll be fine.

What's in there? Alien autopsy?

Just pharmacy.

The hospital's cracked down

since someone's been stealing meds,

so only doctors are
allowed in there now.

I gotta get back to my rounds,

but dinner, 8:00 p.m.

Bring your A game.

Hey, Miles, it's me.

Hey, Rakesh, I've been
trying to call you.

- You still with Jaya?
- No, but get this:

Claire works at New York General.

Yeah, yeah, I know. She just told me.

- How do you know?
- 'Cause I just saw her

sneak into the hospital's pharmacy,

and according to Jaya, only
doctors are allowed in there.

Rakesh, she's a recovering addict.

Miles, that's not good,
because I'm pretty sure

she just stole drugs from the hospital.

Are you certain she was stealing?

Well, it looks that way,
and according to Jaya,

it's not the first time
meds have gone missing.

The hospital's already investigating.

Well, i-if she gets caught,
she can go to jail.

I should speak to her father.
Let him know what's going on.

Wait, Dad. I need to be absolutely sure

what's going on with her
before involving her father.

I was there two years ago

when Bishop Thompson had to
intervene in Claire's life.

She almost didn't come through.

Hey, Rakesh.

Uh, any... any luck with finding Claire?

No, but I do have a lead.

It turns out you guys have a
mutual friend on Facebook.

- Who?
- Rachel Blake.

Who's Rachel Blake?

Uh, she was a Friend
Suggestion a year ago.

Her sister died in a car accident

not too far from Harlem Episcopal.

Oh, I remember you telling me about her.

Well, according to her Facebook,

she just checked in to
Harlem Community College.

She's teaching art there.

Let me talk to Rachel.

Maybe she knows how to get
in touch with Claire.

If not, we'll go to the bishop.

Keep me posted.

Can I help you?

Oh, sorry, this used to be my office.

I'm Cara Bloom.

Adam Grey.

You know, I've heard a lot about you.

When I first started here,

everyone said I had
very big shoes to fill.

Oh, well, I only wear a size six, so...

Cara, there you are.

- Hey, Parker.
- I see you met Adam.

He just came over from
"Chatter" six weeks ago.

Been at the top of the
leaderboard ever since.

Anyways, uh, it was great to meet you.

If you ever need anything,
my office is always open.

Come on. Natalie's tied up in a meeting.

Sent me to show you to your office.

It's so good having you back.

"Catapult" hasn't felt
the same without you.

Thank you, Parker.

Yeah, it's good to be back.

Here we are.

I know, sorry.

It's fine. Gotta work my way back up.

Knowing you, I'm sure
it won't take long.

- Lunch today?
- Yeah, definitely.

_

_

Rachel Blake, wow.

So any idea how she knows Claire?

No, but hopefully they're more
than just Facebook friends.

We need to find Claire fast.

Yeah, well, knowing the God Account,

Rachel coming into the picture
is more than just a coincidence.

Hey, how did it go at "Catapult"?

Honestly, not great.

You know, I thought going back

would be like picking
up where I left off,

but kind of feels like
I'm starting over.

Sometimes starting over
isn't such a bad thing.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Plus, it'll be that much more satisfying

when I get back on top
of the leaderboard.

Yeah. Hey, that's Rachel.

I don't know if you're supposed
to be telling me that.

Oh, you know what? Give me a sec.

Miles!

This is such a surprise.

- Aww.
- Good to see you.

- This is Cara.
- Rachel, nice to meet you.

Yeah, you, too.

I know we haven't actually met,
but I feel like I know you.

I'm a big fan of the
"Millennial Prophet,"

so I hear your name a lot.

So I'm guessing running into you guys

isn't a coincidence.

Not exactly.

We're trying to get ahold
of Claire Thompson.

We were hoping you could help.

How do you know Claire?

She is my Friend Suggestion.

I would never normally talk
about someone from the program,

but if the God Account
sent you Claire's name,

something is clearly wrong.

"The program"? You met Claire in AA?

Last year, after Miles helped me.

Claire and I became friends.

Look, we need to talk to Claire.

We think she may have relapsed.

What is it?

About a week ago, we were
coming out of a meeting.

She got some text.

She asked if I could give
her a lift to a duplex

in Jackson Heights.

Said it was urgent.

I tried to ask what was going on,

but she wouldn't say,

and I was gonna talk to her about it

at our meeting yesterday,
but she didn't show.

Any chance you remember that address?

Yeah.

But if Claire's in trouble,
I'm coming with you.

Thank you for making
us dinner, Ms. Desai.

I love the chicken. It's so moist.

Thank you, Rakesh.

Yes, I think we all appreciate

your review of the chicken.

Listen, we have something
to talk to you about.

Both of you.

Wait, could I say something first?

I know you guys didn't think
much of me when we first met,

but I promise that if
you give me a chance,

I will prove that I am
worthy of your daughter.

W-what'd I say?

Uh, you have nothing to
be nervous about, Rakesh.

You've just gone from customer service

to being the head of R&D
at, uh, IdentitySeal.

You finally have your own apartment now,

and, uh, we know exactly how well

you've been doing lately.

Yeah, you know...

I mean, if you put it like that,

I guess I'm kind of awesome.

And so humble.

You'll make an ideal
husband for our Jaya,

which is why we feel it is time

for you two to get engaged.

Mama, Papa, don't you think
we're moving a little fast?

Nonsense.

At your age, we'd already
been married three years

and I was pregnant with you.

If anything,

you have some catching up to do.

Are we talking about kids right now?

Well, of course.

These are the next steps,

and we cannot wait to
have grandchildren.

A toast...

to the impending union
of Jaya and Rakesh.

A perfect match.

It's just up the block.

Thanks for helping us.

Cara and I had to cancel our date.

Yeah, I hope we didn't
hijack your night.

No, it's fine. It's just my birthday.

What?

That's what we call it in the program.

- I'm one year sober today.
- Hey, congratulations.

Thanks.

I was planning on celebrating
with a six-pack...

- Huh?
- ... of LaCroix and a Smiths album,

but think I can rain check that.

This is it.

Okay, we should split up,
knock on a few doors.

Claire.

Miles, Rachel, w-what
are you doing here?

We need to talk.

My friend saw you stealing medication

from New York General.

- You've got this all wrong.
- Okay, so explain it to us.

What is this place?

It's a free clinic

for patients who can't
afford healthcare.

I didn't relapse.

I've been stealing medication
so I can save lives.

How long have you been doing this?

Well, I opened the clinic
a few months ago...

and, uh, then I started
working on the weekends.

Now I'm here every night.

- Gracias.
- Mm-hmm.

Hey.

Isabel is ten years old.

She has type 1 diabetes.

New York General turned
her and her mother away

because they don't have insurance.

Most immigrants in this area don't.

That's why I opened this place.

There must be some free
clinic that they can go to.

Most are overcrowded and
nowhere near this area.

No one is questioning your intentions,

but there must be a way

that you can raise funds
to make this legal.

I've tried.

I have applied for grants,
but nothing has come through.

Okay, but the hospital is investigating.

How long until they figure out it's you?

They won't.

Half the nurses at New York General

have the passcode to the pharmacy.

But none of them are stealing.

It's a risk I'm gonna have to take.

There's no other way.

Well, then, let us help you.

Your dad is the bishop of New York.

There must be something he can do.

When I first had the
idea about this place,

I went to him.

He told me that I should
focus on recovery.

Look, I appreciate your concern...

but I'm gonna ask you
to stay out of this.

What are we gonna do?

I don't know.

Okay, went ahead and made your usuals.

You're welcome. What's going on?

- What did you do?
- Me? Nothing.

Not me, it's her parents.

They want us to get engaged

and get married and have kids.

And by the look on both of your faces,

I am guessing that neither
of you are ready for that.

No, not even close.

- I mean, I love you, but...
- Rakesh, relax.

Of course we're not ready.

My life is crazy with my residency,

and you're running a whole
department at IdentitySeal.

And we've only been
dating in the same state

for a few months.

Well, why don't you just
say that to your parents?

They won't understand.

In our culture, there are
a lot of expectations

parents have for their kids.

Mine have always had a plan for me,

and after all they sacrificed,

I... I just can't disappoint them.

So what are you gonna do?

No clue.

I mean, who would have thought
that my getting my break

at IdentitySeal would be our downfall?

- Wait, that's it.
- What's it?

IdentitySeal.

Me becoming the head of R&D

took me from zero to hero

- with your family, right?
- Mm-hmm.

What if I got fired?

Rakesh, I'm not gonna let you
lose your job over this.

- That's crazy.
- No, Jaya,

we pretend that I got fired.

Then I go back to being zero,

and they won't make us get engaged.

And we can keep on dating.

Rakesh, you're a genius.

Wow, Dad, this place looks great.

Look, I... I know you guys
have only been living here

for a few weeks, but it looks like

you've been living here for years.

Well, I appreciate that.

Um, Trish and I have worked hard

to make this place feel like home.

So, uh, were you able to talk to Claire?

Yes, and thankfully,
she hasn't relapsed.

Oh, that's good news.

But, um, what about her
stealing from the hospital?

It wasn't for her.

She started an underground clinic

to treat patients who
don't have healthcare.

Oh, my God.

That's a noble cause, Miles,

um, but it doesn't excuse her actions.

She's still committing a crime,

one that could land her in jail.

I know, but the only way
she is going to stop

is if she gets the funds
to make her clinic legal.

So I thought you could help.

Well, there are grants
that the church provides.

I mean, that's how I first
opened the soup kitchen

and the shelter at Harlem Episcopal.

It's a slow process.

But there is one person who
could expedite things.

- Bishop Thompson?
- Mm.

Dad, Claire doesn't want to involve him.

- She thinks he won't understand.
- Her father loves her.

He... he didn't turn his
back on her two years ago,

and he won't do it now.

- You want to help Claire?
- Mm-hmm.

You should talk to him.

Love what you've done with the place.

Very funny, Parker.

What's up?

Well, now that you're
back at "Catapult,"

I figured we'd do what
we do best: gossip.

No, no, that's what you do best.

True. What's going on
with you and Miles?

How'd your date go last night?

Uh, it didn't.

Let me guess: God Account?

Yes, but we rescheduled for tonight.

We are determined to have
a normal dating life.

Good for you. So boyfriend and job

exactly where you want them to be.

Boyfriend, yes. Job, not so much.

Hey, what can you tell
me about this Adam guy?

- He's a great writer.
- "A great writer"?

- Really?
- You haven't read his stuff?

No! I've seen his headlines.
They're clickbait.

It's what gossip sites do.

What do you have against gossip sites?

Sorry, I didn't mean it like that.

And cue my exit.

I was kidding.

So, uh, what brings you down here?

- Curiosity, I guess.
- About?

Why you would give up writing
a book about Simon Hayes

to come back to work at "Catapult."

Let's just say I wanted
to write my own stories.

I respect that.

I've read most of them.
They're very good.

Why do I feel like
there's a "but" coming?

But they tend to get
a little repetitive.

I mean, they're essentially
variations of the same story.

Yeah, because they're a series,

a very successful one

that explores the positive side
of humanity, unlike gossip.

Anyways, this has been really fun,

but I gotta get back
to writing my story.

You can check it out when it
hits the top of the leaderboard.

Sound pretty confident.

Care to make it interesting?

What do you have in mind?

Your story beats mine this week,

and I'll let you have
your old office back.

What do you say?

I'd say start packing your stuff.

I don't know what to say.

Stealing from a hospital?
What was she thinking?

Well, she was thinking
about helping people.

Look, I... I'm not
defending her actions,

but her heart was in the right place.

That may be, Miles,

but her actions have
jeopardized her future,

everything she was working for.

Edward, we understand
how serious this is,

but there is a solution.

Claire has been applying for grants

to make her clinic legal,

and we were hoping that you could help.

She was afraid to come to you,

how you would judge her.

So this is a chance for
you to be there for her

as you always have.

You're right, Arthur.

My daughter needs me and
I... I can't let her down.

Uh, thank you,

both of you.

I'll, um... I'll go make some calls.

Claire's gonna be so relieved
that her father wants to help.

Yes, and once we tell her the good news,

we can have that date that we missed.

- Still good for 8:00?
- Yeah, sounds perfect.

Hey. Hey, Claire.

What are you doing here?

Look, I know you wanted
us to stay out of this,

but we spoke to your dad
and he wants to help.

Unbelievable.

That explains it.

What are you talking about?

My dad just called the
hospital and got me fired.

So thanks to you...

the clinic is over.

Wait, wait, Claire.
Claire, hold up, hold up.

I'm sorry, that... that's
not what we wanted.

Tell that to my patients.

Okay, Claire, look... Claire, Claire!

We just wanted to help.

"Help"?

Not only did I lose my job,

I lost access to the
hospital's pharmacy.

You have put a lot of lives at risk.

Okay, there must be
something that we could do.

I don't see how.

If the hospital knows
you're stealing from them,

why didn't they get the police involved?

My dad has friends on
the hospital board.

They agreed not to press charges.

It's his way of fixing things.

You know, I'm sure he was
just trying to protect you.

Please.

He was trying to protect himself.

He knew that if the cops got involved,

it would become a scandal,
so he swept it under the rug.

Okay, well, h-how about I
talk to my dad again, huh?

Your father listens to him.
Maybe he can sort this out.

Wait.

You told your father about the clinic.

Let me guess: he was the one

who wanted to talk to my dad.

Yeah, why?

Arthur's working for my dad
as his chief of staff.

- You didn't know?
- No.

Well, I guess having fathers
who put the church first

is something that we have in common.

Wait, Miles, why wouldn't
your dad tell you

he was working for Bishop Thompson?

I don't know, but believe me,
that's what I'm gonna ask him.

What was so important

you both had to rush here
to tell us in person?

Rakesh got fired from his job.

W-what?

We thought you were doing so well.

Yeah, me, too, but...

I guess I'll probably have to
go back to customer service

and move back in with my parents.

That is very disappointing news.

Yeah, tell me about it.

I mean, obviously that means
I need to get back on my feet,

and... and prove that I'm worthy of Jaya

before we get engaged.

Don't be silly.

There are more important qualities

in a son-in-law than
just his profession.

- There are?
- Yes.

I mean, you stuck by our daughter

for all those months when
she was in Minnesota.

We want to stick by you this time.

And you heard the whole part

about me moving back in with my parents?

- Mm-hmm.
- Into their basement.

Yeah.

I mean, after the wedding,

we'll help you find a place together.

Jaya makes an excellent
salary as a physician.

You'll be fine.

We love you, Rakesh.

Miles.

I'm, uh... I'm glad you dropped by.

I was, uh, just about to call you.

Is that before or after

your boss had Claire
fired at the hospital?

So she told you that I
work for her father.

The question is, why didn't you?

Because I haven't decided if
it's something that I want.

Wow, you could have fooled me.

Dad, I came to you for
help, but the only person

you were interested in
helping was your new boss.

You manipulated me.

I did not manipulate you.

I... I would have gone to Thompson

whether I was working for him or not.

He's Claire's father. He needed to know.

He got her fired.

She's stealing from the hospital.

What was he supposed to do?

Here's a crazy idea: he could help her.

He could help her clinic.

He could help the people
who depend on her.

Or did I miss something

in those Bible verses you love to quote

about the meek and the sick?

Whether you want to see it
or not, he is helping her.

- How?
- By keeping her from getting arrested,

for starters.

Look...

I'm sorry I didn't tell
you about the job.

I'll talk to Thompson
and see if I can try

and find a way to help
her patients legally,

but what Claire was doing was dangerous,

and you know it.

Trust me on this.

What is it?

It's Rachel.

Claire just got arrested

for trying to buy painkillers
off of a dealer.

She's at the 98th Precinct.
I gotta go down there.

I'm coming with you.

Miles.

Hey, we came as soon as we could.

Her dad's inside.
He just bailed her out.

Claire, we have to talk about this.

I'm not in the mood for a
father-daughter convo right now.

You don't want to talk to me, fine.

You can talk to one of the
counselors at the intake center.

I am not going back to rehab.

I'm not using.

Not yet, but it's clearly
just a matter of time.

Claire, please, your
father's just here to help.

This is none of your business.

I don't need help.

I have been sober for two years.

I am not headed for a relapse.

Look around you.

I just bailed you out of
jail for buying painkillers.

They were for my patients.

And I believe you,

but how many lines do you have to cross

before it all becomes a blur...

Stop talking like you
know what I went through.

You don't.

You can never understand.

Claire, wait.

I do understand.

More than anyone.

No, you don't...

And you never will.

I'll make sure she's okay.

So, you still want me
to trust you on this?

What are we gonna do?

I mean, it seems like
things have gotten worse.

Yeah, and I don't think
Claire is gonna stop

trying to save her clinic,

which means she's gonna keep
putting herself at risk.

We need to figure out a way
to get through to her.

May I come in?

I spoke to Thompson after you left.

- He's scared for his daughter.
- Yeah, so am I.

Then let's figure out a way to help her.

Is this coming from you,

or Bishop Thompson's chief of staff?

Actually, I don't think
I'm going to stay on

in that capacity any longer.

Wait, you're stepping down?

It was a trial run.

I needed to see if I could
juggle something like that

before I spoke to Trish.

Clearly, I have my answer.

I know I'm supposed
to be retired, but...

To feel useful,

to have people rely on you

and then to come through for them...

I guess...

I miss that.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

But, to answer your question,
I'm here as your father,

not as the bishop's chief of staff,

and I wouldn't want anything
to come between us.

I'm glad.

Wait, that's it.

I think we've been looking
at this all wrong.

This isn't about helping
Claire keep her clinic.

I think this about bringing a father

and daughter back together,

healing the fracture between them.

You got that from watching us?

I think she's right.

Thompson wants that more than anything.

I mean, he blames himself for
not being able to reach her.

Yeah, he... he does.
I saw it at the precinct.

But I think there was something more.

He said that he understood
what Claire was going through.

Then you should talk to the bishop.

No, we should talk to him together.

- Have you heard from Claire yet?
- Not yet.

I don't know how to get through to her.

I know how it looks,
me getting her fired.

I was just trying to protect her.

At the precinct,

you were going to tell her
something before she left.

What was it?

She thinks that you don't understand

what she's going through,
but you said that you did.

What did you mean?

I'm 20 years sober.

Why didn't you ever tell her?

Because then I'd have to be honest

with how long I've been sober,

and she'd make the connection.

What connection?

My drinking cost me my marriage.

20 years ago is when you got divorced.

If Claire knew the truth,
then I'd lose her too.

I couldn't risk that.

I still can't.

If you don't tell her...

if you can't be there for her

in the way that she
needs most right now,

then you already have.

I can't believe our plan backfired.

What do we do now?

I could start looking for rings.

Rakesh, no.

We should get engaged

because it's something we want to do,

not something we have to do.

So what now?

I stand up to my parents.

- Jaya, are you sure?
- Yeah.

Everything they want for us, we do too.

Just not right now.

I'll make them understand that.

And what if they don't?

Then we'll cross that bridge together.

Okay.

Claire?

What is this, some type of intervention?

No, I'm here to apologize.

- It's a little too late for that.
- No.

No, it's not. Trust me.

You said...

I don't know what you've
been going through...

But I do.

I...

I don't understand, how could
you keep this from me?

All this time, I... I thought
you thought that I was weak,

or that you were ashamed of me.

No, sweetie. I was ashamed of me.

It took your mother leaving

for me to get help.

That's why she left?

That was my rock bottom.

I went to a meeting the very next day.

I was so afraid

that if you knew why she really left...

that you'd never forgive me.

Why are you telling me now?

Because I don't want you
to stop helping people,

but we need to do it the right way.

"We"?

Your dad was able to convince the church

to fund your clinic.

You're gonna be able to
keep helping people.

You did that for me?

Yeah, for both of us.

I thought we could do it together.

After I tell the diocese
how I covered things up

at the hospital, I'll be stepping down.

I told him that retirement

isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

That it's best if he
found a new purpose.

And I can't think of a better
one than helping my daughter.

I love you, Dad.

I love you too.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I need to tell you something.

You're not having second thoughts

about our wedding centerpieces, are you?

No.

For the last few days,

I've been working with Bishop Thompson.

You took the job?

No, no, I just wanted to see

if I could balance something like that

with everything else in my life.

I know that you don't
want me getting involved

in the church again,
but there is a part of me

that's feeling a little lost.

I understand that...

but then, be honest with me about it.

I know, and I'm sorry,

but we don't have to worry about it,

since Bishop Thompson is stepping down.

So it looks like you have me
all to yourself after all.

I like the sound of that.

We all have a million
things going on at once.

Life pulling us in every direction.

It can be hard trying to balance

what's important, what really matters,

but sometimes we need to stop

and mark the occasions
that are meaningful...

Miles, what are you doing here?

I got you something.

Hmm?

You mentioned you love The Smiths.

Happy sober birthday.

Miles, Rachel.

- Hey.
- It's good to see you.

Rachel, you remember my dad.

He's gonna be joining us
at meetings from now on.

- Good to have you.
- Thanks.

Miles, I just wanted to thank
you again for everything.

We both do.

Of course. You're welcome.

Okay, ready to go?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

To recognize when there
needs to be a change...

Congratulations, you got the top story.

Get to keep your office.

Another victory for shock
over substance, I guess.

Not quite.

I read your article. It was good.

Better than good.

Looks like you were right.

I need to shake things up.

I might have just the thing.

I'm chasing a story right now
that I think could be huge,

and I could use a hand.

So what do you say?

Wanna share that number one spot?

I'll think about it.

And yet, be careful how you
go about changing things.

- They didn't go for it, did they?
- No.

They said if we weren't ready
to take the next step,

then we weren't serious.

They said we should break up.

And you told them we would?

Yes, but we're not going to.

We just need to be careful
for a little while.

Keep our relationship between us.

Ah, a fake breakup.

- Exactly.
- Huh.

And when we're ready
to take the next step,

then we can put all this behind us.

It's hard, I get it,

but sometimes change is necessary

to take a step forward

and find that balance
we're all searching for.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I'm here for a date.

I didn't know we had one.

I mean, plus it's... it's 3:30.

It's kind of an unusual time for a date.

Yeah, well, we're an unusual couple.

Look, if we're gonna balance
dating and the God Account,

we can't do things like everyone else.

Making reservations, planning ahead...

it's just not gonna work.

So how do we make it work?

Well, we take the opportunities

when they come, and we embrace them.

Sounds good.

Thanks for coming.

You said it was important.

The Council of Bishops
asked for recommendations

on who I think should take my place.

Oh, there's some great choices.

Uh, do you want me to
give you some names?

No, no, no. No need.

I gave them one, and they agreed.

Who is it?

It's you, Arthur.

They want you to take my place

as the bishop of New York.
