be the next bishop of New York.

not tell me this?

I can't marry you.

we should break up,

Did you know there was

Erica Moore bought the place

about six months ago.
Gideon's a teacher,

Erica's a stay-at-home mom,

no connections

- Um, a few months before
I decided to walk away,

The God Account
sent me a message

about the sacrifice...
that I'd have to make

if I wanted
to become a prophet.

- Yeah?
What did it say?

- That I would have to
give up love and walk alone.

you had to walk away from

the God Account?

pretty clear what the rules

were gonna be going forward.

I could be more help,

it needs to stay.

Friend Suggestion I got before
I unfriended the God Account.

You are the person
that I never helped.

France, I took it as a sign.

It was a
perfect time to leave.

- I'm getting that
exact same vibe right now.

- No, Audrey, Audrey,
it's starting to make sense

Any problems in your life
back then?

Any big events?

it wasn't all that important.
Sorry.

Hey, Rakesh, we got your text.
Please tell me

you found something on Audrey.

- I did.
[inhales]

August Grenelle,
Audrey's father:

He died five years ago.

- That's when the God Account
sent Gideon Audrey's name.

- Mm-hmm, there's more.
August died here in New York,

and he was in the hospital
for weeks leading up to it.

But when I checked Audrey's
digital footprint,

she was 6,000 miles away.
So for whatever reason,

she never made it back
to New York.

- Because that's what
Gideon was supposed to do.

He was supposed to
make sure she was here,

but he walked away,

and Audrey never got
to say good-bye.

[dramatic music]

[inquisitive music]

- We need to figure out a way
to help Audrey find closure.

- I mean, look, Miles, we don't
know anything about

her relationship
with her father.

I mean, if August was
in the hospital for weeks,

chances are she knew
he was sick,

so why didn't she come back
to New York?

- Wait, you think
she stayed away on purpose?

- I don't know, but I think
there's a good chance that--

it's not that simple.
Something else is going on.

- Yeah,
I think she might be right.

Audrey's AI program
was designed to paint.

In order to do that,
she had to teach it.

So when she gave me
access to her program,

I found she had used hundreds
of paintings as reference.

- And?

- They all belong
to the same artist:

Her father.

- It's like she's trying
to keep his memory alive.

Clearly, she hasn't
gotten over his death.

- Maybe, but
August died five years ago.

We can't change that.

- No, no, but we can change

how she feels about it.

There's, uh, something
I want to talk to you about.

You give me a call back
when you get this message?

Once I hear back from Audrey,
I'll let you know.

- It is

in this lesson...

that we are

reminded...

of life's journey.

We must not only trust
that God will put us

on the right path...

but that He'll give us
the strength to walk it.

- Proverbs 16:9,

but the story misses the point.

- And that is?

- That we don't have
to walk this path alone.

- And what brings you
back down here?

- [chuckles]

Actually,
it's Trish.

- Ah.

- She reached out to me.

She's back in the city,

What did she say?

- She wanted to know
if I thought

you could make this work.

I told her as much
on the phone.

when I talked to her, I got
the sense she was not sold.

then there's still hope.

- Mm-hmm.

- Thanks, Miles.
You know I feel like--

one of your Friend Suggestions.
- Trust me,

what you're going through
with Trish,

at least there's a solution.

What I got going on with the
God Account, I am not so sure.

- Wanna talk about it?

- When Gideon walked away
from the God Account,

he never helped
his last Friend Suggestion.

As a result, she never
got a chance to say good-bye

to her father before he died.

- I see, and who was
the Friend Suggestion?

- Her name is Audrey Grenelle.
- Grenelle?

I--I recognize that name.

About five years ago, I was
visiting a church member

at the hospital,
and while I was there,

I was asked to deliver
last rites to a man

and his name
was August Grenelle.

- That's Audrey's father.

- The only reason I remember
is that the room

was filled with
these beautiful paintings.

Apparently, he was an artist,

and his name just
stuck with me.

- Did he say anything
before he died?

- No, um, sorry.
He--he wasn't alert.

But if it'll bring
Audrey any comfort,

he didn't die alone.
There was a--a woman with him.

I don't remember her name,
but it was clear

that he meant a lot to her.

- Whoever that is, she could be
the key to helping Audrey.

- So we have to
figure out who it is.

- Yes, but first...

there's someone
I need to talk to.

[bright music]

- So how are your plans for
Jaya's birthday going?

- Great, actually.

I just want everything
to be perfect.

- Yeah, of course.

I mean, cannot imagine
how difficult it must be

keeping your
relationship a secret.

- Honestly, I don't know
what we were thinking.

- Well, you were thinking
that--you love each other,

and you would
do anything to protect that.

- You okay?

What's going on?

- Gideon told us that before he
walked away

from the God Account,
it left him a message about

what he'd need to
sacrifice one day.

It said that he'd have to
give up love and walk alone.

- Which is why Miles is
throwing himself

into helping Audrey so he
doesn't have to think about it.

But you are.
- How can I not?

And if it comes to it,

do you think Miles
would make the same choice?

- No, but I don't think
he'll have to.

Like, the God Account sent you
to New York five years ago

to meet Miles
and become a team,

and the moment you left,
it sent Miles to Paris

to bring you back.
It wants you together.

What Gideon said,
that's about his path.

Alright?

- You will make
a wonderful bishop.

Congratulations.

- Uh, excuse me.
- Yes?

Hi, are you Madeline Bouchet?

- Yes.
- I'm Miles, this is Cara,

and Gideon.
Um--

We're friends
of Audrey Grenelle.

- Okay, what's this about?

- Do you mind telling us
what happened between you two?

- Look, we know Audrey
wasn't there when her father

passed away, and for
some reason, she blames you.

- Uh, I'm aware.

- She's here in New York,
but not for long.

We were hoping that you two
could talk before she leaves.

[melancholy music]

I first met Audrey when she
was a student of mine

at the University of Paris
Medical School.

- Wait, Audrey was
gonna be a doctor?

- Not just any doctor.

She was one
of my most gifted students.

Audrey might have
been raised in privilege,

but she had...

an amazing heart.

She was planning on working
with Doctors Without Borders

after graduation.
She wanted to spend her life

helping people.
- So what happened?

- She and I become close, and--

eventually I met her father,
August.

We fell in love.

He left his wife to be with me,
and Audrey was just devastated.

She dropped out of med school,

became a socialite--

- Yeah, we've seen her
Instagram.

- The pictures she puts up on
her Instagram feed--

You see a beautiful woman
without a care in the world,

but the truth is,
she's very much alone.

- Did August try to reach out
after he got sick?

- Of course.
We both did.

I'm guessing she just erased
the messages without listening

to them, because as angry as
she was, she loved her father.

She would have been by his side
in the end had she known.

But she wasn't.

And I have no doubt
she blames me for that.

In a way,
I--I do as well.

I just texted him.
She's at Belvedere Castle.

She doesn't want me there.

I keep telling myself
it's no big deal, but...

this has nothing to do
with you and Jaya.

This is about you.

Rakesh,
you're not built for this.

You're not built to pretend
you don't care, when you do.

- I know, but...

What choice do I have if she
won't stand up to her parents?

- You are the smartest person
I know, Rakesh.

There has to be an option
you haven't seen.

- Audrey!

- I knew I should have gone
straight to the airport.

- We spoke with Madeline.

She told us you were gonna be a
doctor.

That's why the God Account
brought us together.

- Look, you need to find a way
to make peace with this.

So you can get back on the path

you're supposed to be on.

God is behind the account,

become a prophet.

is that the God Account

wanted Cara and I
to find each other.

It wanted us to be a team.

The choice you had to make,
I won't have to.

sacrifice love

to prove your worth?

I don't think that the
God Account is gonna

give you that choice.

all this--
the painting and Paris

is to lead you to me.
