- Previously
on "God Friended Me"...

- Unfortunately,
your current treatment

didn't give us
the results we were hoping for.

- So what's the next step?

- We're gonna have to get
more aggressive.

- I wanted to see
if you were interested

in getting dinner
sometime.

- So I went on
a date with Adam.

Parker said
not to tell Miles.

- Yeah, I think she's right.

- I have a lead
on the God Account.

There's a waitress I need
to talk to at a diner

across town.
Uh, you're Marsha Smith, right?

I know Alphonse, the father
of your son, Corey.

I just thought you might
be able to get me in touch

with him.
- No, I can't.

- I followed Corey's mom
to Brooklyn.

She's in some building called
the National Sewing Company.

- It's just a front for DARPA.
- Are you saying that the

God Account could be a massive
government experiment?

- That's exactly
what I'm saying.

- How are things with Ali?

Did she have her
next round of chemo?

- She was supposed to today,
but the doctor wants to talk

to us before moving forward.
- Is everything okay?

- I think so.
All she said was there were

other treatment options
she wanted to discuss.

- Hey, two coffees and
an extra chili cheese fries

with everything for me.
[sniffles]

What?
- It's 8:00 a.m.

- Exactly.
I heard breakfast is supposed

to be the most important meal
of the day, so...

Anyway, still no sign
of Corey Smith?

- No.
- I mean, no one has come in

or out of this building
in, like, three days.

Maybe we're wrong about this
being a front for DARPA.

- That's possible, but I get
this feeling they got a private

entrance somewhere else.
- So continuing to stake this

place out in hopes of
confronting Corey is a waste

of time.
- Right.

I did reach out Adam, see if he
has any contacts inside DARPA.

I'm just waiting to hear back.

- I didn't know you and Adam
were still working together.

[light dramatic music]

- Yeah, well, he was a huge
help in finding the underground

poker club that led us
to DARPA in the first place.

- Makes sense.
So if he knows anyone,

maybe he could get
a message to Corey--

tell him we just wanna talk.

- Actually, we already have
someone who can do that.

Marsha, Corey's mom.
- Whoa.

Didn't she make it pretty clear
she didn't wanna help us?

I mean, how are you gonna
change her mind?

- By sending a message
of my own.

I will catch up
with you guys later.

- Oh, I gotta meet Ali
at the hospital.

♪ ♪

- Okay.

Happy to do the stakeout
by myself, thank you.

Just me and my fries.

- I know we were planning
to start your second round

of chemo tomorrow,
but I wanted you to meet

our hospital administrator,
Ms. Marshall, first.

- It's nice to meet you all.

And please call me Tammy.

- Tammy oversees new drug
trials here at the hospital.

- What kind of trials?
- We're about to start the

second round on a promising new
drug that's shown remarkable

results in shrinking tumors
that initially resist

traditional chemotherapy--

tumors like yours, Ali.

- So you're saying I would
start this new treatment

instead of my second
round of chemo?

- That would be the hope.
With your permission,

I'd like to have your file
transferred to my department

for a better look.
- But we know time is a factor.

When would she start?
- The trial starts in a

few days, so no impact there.

Dr. Chang and I agree

that you'd be
an excellent candidate.

That said, due to the drug's
early results, we have been

inundated with patients
looking to participate.

- Is there anything we can do
to increase her chances

of getting in?
- Unfortunately, no.

At the end of the day,
Tammy and her team will review

all the applicants' results
and make their final decisions.

- Dr. Chang will schedule
some additional blood work and

panels to see if you qualify,
and I'll be in touch.

It was nice meeting you all.

[all but Miles chuckle]

[melancholy music]

- I can't believe it, Miles.
I have been praying for

something like this to happen.

Hello?
A little excitement, please?

- No, I--I am excited.
It's just I can't stop thinking

there must be something we can
do to make sure you get in.

- Too bad I'm not
a Friend Suggestion.

I'd be a lock.

[cell phone chimes, buzzes]

- Hey, maybe you are.

The God Account just liked
a music video on YouTube.

- Miles, I know you think
the God Account might help

with my cancer, but you weren't
really expecting to get me

as a Friend Suggestion,
were you?

- Well, why not?
After everything I've done

for it, it'd be nice
if it did something for you.

- Well, clearly it wants you
to help someone else.

Let's see this video.

- Hi.

- I thought I made
myself clear.

I'm not answering
any questions about my son.

You might as well leave.

- I followed you

to the National Sewing Company
last week.

I know Corey works for DARPA,
and I know what he's

working on.

I need you to deliver
a message.

- And what would that be?
- I need to talk to him.

2:00 p.m., tomorrow,
my office at "Catapult."

- He'll never talk
to a reporter.

- Well, that's fine.
But at 2:01, he'll read

my article about the code he
wrote that he's been testing

on my friend Miles Finer.
I'm sure readers would be

fascinated to learn that
DARPA's using innocent

civilians as test subjects
for their new technology.

just the two of us,

off the record.

- Whoa.
- It's like we just stepped

onto the set

Never mind.
- Okay, um, according to her

Facebook page, Kylie works
here after school.

- Isn't that her?
- Yeah, it is.

- Hi, can I help you?
- Uh, yes.

Actually, I was looking for
some music for my sister,

and I thought a vinyl
would be a great gift.

- Yeah, what kind of music
does she like?

- Mainly R&B.
She says hip-hop,

but that's just an act.
- Got it--old soul.

Follow me.

- Wait, hey, aren't you the
girl from the YouTube cover,

Kylie?
- Yeah, you've seen it?

- Someone liked it on Facebook.
I thought I recognized you.

I'm Miles, this is Rakesh.
- Nice to meet you guys.

- Nice to meet you.
Wow, talented YouTube star.

- [laughs]
- Your parents must be really

excited for you.
- Uh, it's just me and my mom.

And she's here.
Sorry, could you excuse me

for a sec?
- Yeah.

[soft suspenseful music]

- Seems like a good kid.
I wonder why the God Account

sent you her name.

- I think I know why.

It's Kylie's mom.
- What do you mean?

She's in charge
of Ali's cancer trial.

Rakesh, she's the one who's
gonna be able to choose whether

she gets in or not.
- Okay, Miles,

that can't be a coincidence.
- No, it's not.

Hey, I think the God Account
is trying to help Ali by

sending Kylie
as a Friend Suggestion.

- Yeah, that makes sense.
Fix Kylie's problem,

and her mom can't help
but be grateful.

- Yeah.
- Will you at least listen

to her?
Alex says this tour

is a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity.

- You're 16.
You're not signing with that

manager, and you're definitely
not going on some tour.

I'm not gonna let you
derail your life.

- Mom, please, will you
just talk to her--

- Hey, sorry, we just overheard
your conversation.

Are you okay?
- Not really.

[sighs]
I should've known my mom

wouldn't let me go on tour.
- And why's that?

- Because being in the music
industry has been my dream

for as long as I can remember.

Even before the video
went viral,

I was getting offers
from labels and managers.

She said no to all of it.

[door opens]
- Hey.

Where's your mom?
I thought she was coming down

to meet us.
- She did. She already left.

- Oh, it went that well, huh?

go for it.

- Sorry, this is Miles
and Rakesh.

- Hi.
- Alex Moss.

- You're Kylie's manager?
- Yes.

Well, at least
I'm hoping to be.

- Alex is the best.
She's the one who convinced

Robertson Records to include
me on the million hit tour.

But you saw what
I'm up against.

My mom won't listen.
- Hey, I know what it's like

living under a single parent,
how protective they can be.

Yeah, my dad and I didn't see
eye-to-eye on anything.

- You don't get it.
This isn't even about me.

- What do you mean?

- My mom had a sister, Grace.

She was a singer like me,

and she OD'd
when she was only 20.

- And your mom thinks if you
get into music, you're gonna

turn out just like her?
- I'm being punished

for something I had
nothing to do with.

How is that fair?
- It's not.

- Well, there must be some kind
of way to find common ground.

- Were you able to find that
with your dad, growing up?

- [laughs softly]
Uh, no.

And our relationship was
fractured for many years

because of it.

You don't want that to happen

between you and your mom.

- No, I don't.

So how'd you fix it?

- Honestly, it took
something extreme

to bring us back together.
But we started talking,

and it was worth it.
- Well, look.

The tour doesn't start
for another week.

I can hold them off for
a little while, but we need to

find a way to get
through to your mom,

no matter what it takes.

- Like Miles said, getting
through to my mom is gonna

take something extreme.

- Hey, so what did you find out
about the YouTube star?

- You know, nothing yet.

Yeah, we stopped by
the record store

that she works at,
but she wasn't there.

- Hmm, okay.
Well, keep me posted.

You know, I kinda feel like
I'm part of the God Squad

these days.
- For sure.

[both laugh]

- Dude.
- Mm.

- Why didn't you tell Ali
who Kylie's mom is?

- Because I don't want to worry
her that my Friend Suggestion

might jeopardize her chances
of getting into the trial.

Hey, how'd it go with Marsha?

- Well, I told her that we need
to meet with Corey by 2:00

tomorrow or I'd publish
everything we know about what

he and DARPA have been doing.
- So by "message"

you meant "threat."
Nice play.

- Thank you.
What have you guys been up to?

- I got a new Friend
Suggestion, Kylie Marshall.

She is a 16-year-old singer
who wants to go on tour,

but her mother is against it.
- Okay, so have you talked

to her mom?
- That's the problem.

Her mom works at the hospital.

I met her this morning
when I was with Ali.

She's in charge
of the new drug trial

Ali's trying to get into.

- And you're worried if you
interfere with Kylie,

her mom would hold it
against you.

- This new drug trial could
be the difference between

life and death.

I can't ignore that.

- Look, Miles,
no one's asking you to.

But our best chance of this
working out for everyone,

including Ali,
is to do what we always do.

- He's right.

Which means you gotta
talk to her mom.

- [sighs]

[soft dramatic music]

- Okay.

- Bishop Finer?
- Yes?

- I'm sorry to disturb you.

There was no one
in the waiting room.

- Yeah, not a problem, Miss...

Marsha Smith.

We knew each other many
years ago

when I was dating

Alphonse Jeffries.
- [clicks tongue]

Marsha.

Of course.
Um, it's been a while.

Please, take a seat.

- I'm sorry to barge in here
after all these years,

but I--
uh, I need to speak with you.

- Of course.
What about?

- My son, Corey,

the son I had with Alphonse.

[dramatic music]

- I only just heard
he had a son.

I had no idea that
you were Corey's mom.

- Well, I am, and I will always
have my son's back,

which is why I'm here.

A reporter named Cara Bloom

is blackmailing him,
threatening to ruin

his reputation.
- It doesn't sound like

the Cara Bloom that I know.
- Well, she claims that my son

is behind some kind of code
that's linked

with your son, Miles.
- Yes, uh, the God Account.

- I don't know what the God
Account is, but if it's being

used on civilians like your
son, there is no way Corey

is behind it.

I was hoping you would
speak with Miles

and explain this.

- Miles has been trying
to find out who's behind

the God Account
from the beginning.

If he and Cara think
that Corey is behind it,

they must have a good reason.
- So you're saying you won't

speak with him?
- No, I'm saying that

even if I did, it wouldn't
make any difference.

Miles is not gonna stop
until he's figured it out.

- Um, do you have a minute?

- Sure.

- I was at the record store

that your daughter works at
earlier today, and I couldn't

help but overhear the argument
you two were having.

- Why did you come down here
to talk about that?

- Well, after you left,
I spoke with Kylie,

and she told me
about your sister, Grace.

- I'm sorry, but I'm not
sure how any of this

is your business.
- Look.

I know that you
love your daughter,

and that you would do
anything to protect her.

But take it from me,

you might be driving her away.

yourself into my life,

into the life of my daughter

as some sort of Good Samaritan

to my daughter?

- Nothing.

introduced me
to her manager, Alex.

after I left?

- What--
are you two in this together?

- I'm not in anything
with anyone, okay?

I--I'm just here to help.

I didn't mean for
any of this to happen.

- And yet, it did.

Get out of my office,
now.

- This is bad.
I mean, Tammy blames me for

Kylie wanting to emancipate.

She thinks I gave her the idea.

- Dude, in all fairness,
you did tell Kylie to go do

something extreme, so--
- Rakesh, not helping.

- No. No, no, no.
He's right, I did say it,

and now I may have screwed up
Ali's chances

of getting into the trial.

- Miles,
this isn't your fault.

Okay? You don't just decide
to emancipate and serve papers

in a matter of hours.

I'm guessing Kylie had this
in the works for a while.

- Yeah, she's right.
I mean, Kylie did say this

had been an ongoing fight
with her mom.

- Yeah, and I pushed her
over the edge.

- Look, enough with
the blame game.

The good news is,
we know what's wrong

and we know how to fix it.

Look, just talk to Kylie,
convince her to call

all of this off;
make sure that she and her mom

reconcile before it's too late.

If you do that,

all will be forgiven
with Tammy.

[light music]

- Kylie.
Hey, do you have a minute?

- Uh, yeah, sure.
What's up?

- I was with your mom yesterday
when the process server

showed up.
- But how do you know her mom?

- She's administering a trial
that my sister might be up for.

Look, what--what I'm trying
to say is--I get it.

Hey, going on tour
is an amazing opportunity,

but risking your relationship
with your mom

is not the answer.

I had to do something extreme.

I don't have another choice.

My Friend Suggestion's name
is Kylie Marshall.

Her mom's name
is Tammy Marshall.

- The woman who's in charge
of Ali's cancer trial.

- Yes. She didn't want her
daughter to go on tour,

so Kylie filed
for emancipation.

- What?
- But the thing is,

the emancipation is off.

Tammy changed her mind.

I'm just not sure why.

- People change their minds
all the time.

- Yes, but Tammy's fears
go deeper than that.

She had a sister, Grace,
who was a musician,

and died of a drug overdose.

Tammy was determined
to make sure

that Kylie did not
follow in those footsteps.

- Wait a minute.

Grace Marshall
is Tammy's sister?

- Yeah, why?
Did you know her?

- Grace performed at the
Blue Danube a few times.

And I think I actually
have a few photos

from one of her shows.

- If helping Tammy's daughter
tipped the scales even 1%

in Ali's favor--
- Dad, I know.

And--and I wanna
get this right.

I--I just feel like
I'm missing something.

- Grace was so talented.

I remember thinking and hoping
that she would slow down

and clean herself up
after she got pregnant.

- Wait, this picture was taken
in 2004--that's 16 year ago.

Grace is pregnant,
and not Tammy.

[soft suspenseful music]

That's what I've been missing.
- What are you talking about?

- Tammy agreed to let Kylie
go on tour because

going to court
would reveal the truth:

she's not her mom,
Grace is.

Uh, thanks again
for helping me out yesterday.

- I wish I could take the
credit, but we both know

- Where did you get this?
- My stepmom used to watch

Grace perform
at the Blue Danube.

Has Kylie seen it?

- No.
I came to you first.

Now, I know you think
I only got involved

because of my sister,
but that is not true.

I'm only here to--
- Help?

That's what you keep saying.

And if that's true,
then you will leave this alone.

- When Grace died,
you stepped up.

You were there for Kylie
every single day of her life.

You raised an amazing daughter.

So why not tell her the truth?

- It's not that simple.
- Yes, it is.

If you don't tell her,
if she finds out another way,

she's going to resent you
for the rest of her life.

Is that what you want?
- Of course not.

the truth.
She refused.

I get it.

Like, she's been keeping
this secret for so long,

she's probably hoping she'll
never have to own up to it.

So what's your next move?

- Honestly?
Nothing.

- What do you mean, nothing?

- Kylie's not going to
emancipate, she's going on tour

and her and Tammy seem like
they're in a good place.

Maybe that's what the
God Account wanted.

that's not how this works.

Can I--
can I ask you a question?

- Mm-hmm.

- Would you be backing off
if Tammy wasn't in charge of

Ali's trial?
- I went to her,

told her to talk to Kylie.
She didn't want to.

- Yeah, you're not
answering my question.

- But it doesn't matter,
she's in charge.

- Yeah, but she's not your
Friend Suggestion, Kylie is.

- Dude, I think you're backing
off 'cause you're afraid that

upsetting Tammy is somehow
gonna affect Ali's chances.

And--and fair enough.

But dude, you gotta admit that,

at--at least to yourself.

- Okay, okay, fine, yes.

Yes, I am backing off, okay?

Ali is getting blood work done
right now at the hospital,

and if all goes well,
tomorrow she'll be accepted

into the trial.
And I'm not going to do

anything that will risk that...

Even if that means not helping
