Previously on "God Friended Me"

Can you promise me that I won't always take a backseat to the church?

I love you, but we can't be together.

Gideon Moore.

He was the first person to get Friended by the God Account.

The God Account sent me a message.

That I would have to give up love.

Cara's stepdad.

He's in financial trouble.

It is definitely insider trading.

We can't let the God Account come between us.

Miles, you did.

You chose the God Account over me, and that's the choice we're both gonna have to live with.

Good feeling good Feeling feeling Hey, feeling good Look, I know it's early, but you're gonna thank me.

These are supposed to be the best breakfast burritos in the city.

Yeah, there is no breakfast burrito worth waking up at 7:00 a. m. for.

Hmm, we shall see.

Plus, I was thinking I'd take some back for my team.

You know, keep morale up as they start coding my Soulmate app.

Hey, the president of IdentitySeal liked your idea.

Yeah, loved it.

I mean, I got to come through obviously, but I think my quest is driven by the most noble of purposes.

Do you really think an app is gonna help you win Jaya back?

I'm betting my entire career on it, so yeah.

Yeah.

How about you?

Have you and Cara talked ever since the whole thing with her stepdad?

No, she made it very clear that she blames me for choosing the God Account over her.

I was hoping she just needed space, but honestly, I don't know where we stand, and I don't know how to fix it.

There's always a way, Miles.

But you can't fix it until you talk to her.

[CELL PHONE CHIMES]

Man, we got a new Friend Suggestion.

Miguel Solano.

Okay okay, perfect.

Now you have an icebreaker.

You can go to Cara, the two of you are gonna help Miguel Solano.

And before you know it, everything's back to normal.

- Hi.

- Hey.

How'd you get your old office back?

What happened to Adam?

After the article went viral, he took a job offer at VICE.

They promoted me to head of features.

Head of features.

That's great.

Yeah.

And all I had to do was expose some insider trading and destroy my family.

Lucky me.

Right.

I'm sorry, it's just hard to see the upside in any of this considering everything that's happened.

So what are you doing here?

I got a new Friend Suggestion and I was hoping you could help me check him out.

Okay.

I thought it would be a good excuse for me to come down here to see you.

To talk to you.

I'm listening.

Look, I can't change what happened, okay?

Or the decisions I made.

And even if I could, I don't think I would.

Look, I was just trying to help your family, Cara.

You have to see that.

I do.

Okay, then there must be way for us to work through this.

The thing is, this isn't just about us, Miles.

The God Account used me, and not just me, but my family.

And for what?

To put you through some kind of test?

I know you're upset, but the God Account was still just trying to help Paul.

No, it wasn't.

If that were true, then it would have sent us his name six months ago, before he even got involved with Jonathan Carter.

But it didn't because this was never about helping my family.

Whoever's behind this didn't care what happened to them.

Miles, after everything that I have done, it didn't care.

So what are you trying to say?

I need to step away from the God Account.

Okay.

And what about us?

I don't know.

- Lester, good to see you.

- You too, Arthur.

Well, Trish gave me that as an office warming gift.

It's her way of providing guidance even when she's not here.

So, what brings you by?

The diocese has been very pleased with the transition, Arthur.

Oh, that's nice to hear.

I've even heard from a few bishops inside the general convention that they've liked some of the proposals you've sent for review.

Well, I have a long way to go, but I'm excited for the journey.

That's actually why I stopped by.

Bishop Walden and two members of the executive council will be in town from Washington tomorrow night.

They wanna meet with you about your proposals.

- Well, that's incredible.

- Needless to say, if they like what they hear, it could go a long way to getting your agenda passed.

Well, tell Bishop Walden I look forward to meeting them here tomorrow night.

Excellent.

I'll let them know.

So Cara's stepping away from the God Account?

- Mm-hmm.

- For how long?

No idea.

And I don't blame her.

I mean, after what happened.

She finally found the family she's always wanted, and then it gets destroyed?

Yeah.

Wait, so where does that leave you guys?

I don't know.

But I know I can't lose her.

Miles, you're not gonna lose Cara.

Like, she's pissed at the God Account, but she'll come around.

Yeah, but what if she doesn't?

Look, how about we concentrate on helping our Friend Suggestion?

At least that's something that's totally in our control.

Right?

Okay, so let's see here.

Looks like it's mostly just pictures of his wife, Isabel, and daughter, Ava.

Guys, guys, we have an emergency situation.

Tom.

Tom, what's going on?

Some window washer up on the 40th floor.

His platform snapped.

He's hanging on for his life.

Dan, did someone call 911?

I just did.

FDNY's on their way.

- What happened?

- No idea.

I mean, I just hope he can hold on until they get here.

Do you know the guy's name?

Sure, he's worked here for years.

It's Miguel Solano.

Okay, everyone listen up.

FDNY is gonna be here in under 10 minutes, and they want us to clear the floors.

So I need everyone to make their way downstairs.

We have to stay and help Miguel.

- Yeah, but how?

- I don't know.

Maybe I'm supposed to talk to him.

Guys, I need you to clear the floor.

Wait, don't you think someone should stay and talk to Miguel?

Let him know that help is on his way?

I tried.

His cell goes straight to voicemail and he can't hear us through the glass.

Well, there must be some kind of way to communicate with him.

There's a two-way radio on the rig, but the company says it's useless since the whole thing is offline.

Wait, what do you mean offline?

Rig is state of the art.

Everything controlled by a computer.

I called the company right after I got off the phone with the FDNY.

They're sending someone over to try and reboot the system.

- Rakesh, what are you doing?

- The system on the rig must have Wi-Fi, which means there's a way to reboot it - without being on the rig.

- Do you think you can access - the system?

- I think we should wait for the FDNY or someone from the company.

[RIG CLANGS]

Miguel might not have that long.

If you can reboot the system, then maybe we can raise him to safety.

Only one way to find out.

Miles told me what happened.

How's your family holding up?

Not great.

My stepfather cut a deal with the FBI, but he's still looking at a year behind bars.

I'm sorry.

You know, when I found out that the God Account was the reason that I ended up in New York five years ago, it made me feel like I was just as much a part of this as Miles.

You are.

And Miles knows that.

He loves you, Cara.

Yeah, and I love him.

But that's the problem.

What are you talking about?

Gideon told us that whoever's behind the God Account wants Miles to become its prophet.

To do that, Gideon said that he would need to give up love.

Now if that's true, then it sent him my stepfather's name to drive a wedge between us.

Then don't let it.

You figure out a way to fight back.

Against the God Account?

Ali, it's never wrong.

And it's never gonna let us just be together.

Hey, that was fast.

Well, I got your text.

It seemed urgent.

And what are we doing at the Blue Danube?

They had a vocalist cancel at the last minute, and I've known the owner for years.

So he called to see if I could sing.

Oh, that's incredible.

I know.

I mean, you know I have been wanting to get back into performing, and I just I feel like this is the universe's way of steering me in that direction.

And I think you're right.

And you.

You are going to be sitting in this front row clapping, regardless of how misguided the universe is.

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Now what time should I be here tonight?

No, tomorrow night.

So I have time to rehearse.

What?

What's wrong?

Three members of the executive council are coming in tomorrow night.

I'm supposed to meet them to discuss my agenda.

Well, can they reschedule it?

They're only here for one night.

Having their support could be critical to pushing my agenda forward.

I understand.

Well, I'm gonna start putting my set list together.

You know what?

You are going to be great.

And I promise that next time, I will be sitting right there in that front row.

Okay.

[SIRENS WAILING]

Okay, I'm in.

The system reboot seems pretty straightforward.

I should be able to raise him up to the roof.

Here we go.

- Rakesh, you did it.

- Unbelievable.

- Wait, what happened?

- It doesn't matter.

He's out of danger 'cause of you.

I'm gonna head downstairs to liaise with the FDNY.

They're gonna be here any second.

Hey, what's wrong?

Dude, it doesn't make sense.

It shouldn't have stopped.

Well, maybe something is off with the computer.

No, the system checks out.

Like the only way to stop it would be to Manually hit the button on the rig.

Wait, you think Miguel stopped the rig?

That doesn't make any sense.

- Why would he do that?

- I have no idea.

Look, the system's online, which means the two-way radio's probably active.

So let's ask him.

[SIRENS WAILING]

Hey.

Hey, Miguel, can you hear me?

Miguel.

Miguel, can you hear me?

Who are you?

Hi.

Hi, my name is Miles Finer.

Look, Miguel, we were able to reboot the system.

We just need you to stay calm.

The FDNY will be able to rescue you in no time.

I have no intention of being rescued.

You understand me?

You stopped the rig.

Yes.

And you need to tell the FDNY to back off.

I don't want to talk to them.

You hear me?

Miguel.

Miguel, listen to me.

Whatever you are thinking about doing, please don't.

I don't have a choice.

This is my only option.

No other way.

What do you mean it's your only option?

Wait, Miguel.

Miguel.

Miguel.

Miles, you realize what he's planning on doing.

Yeah, yeah.

And I'm pretty sure that's why the God Account sent us his name.

Miguel's gonna jump.

And we need to stop him.

[SIRENS WAILING]

I don't know, Miles.

This seems like a little out of our league here.

Like this is not good.

Like, like life or death not good, Miles.

Yes, I get that, Rakesh.

Okay, well the FDNY is literally on their way up here.

- Like, what are we gonna tell them?

- I don't know, but we can't tell them the truth.

You heard what Miguel said.

He doesn't want to talk to them.

And we can't risk what he might do if we tell them.

Look, I know how it sounds, but he hasn't jumped yet.

Which means he's having second thoughts.

Maybe we can still reach him and talk him down.

- How?

- We have to figure out why he's doing this and help him through it.

Okay, okay.

Where do we start?

His family.

He has a wife.

Maybe she'll know something.

At the very least, maybe she can help us break through to him.

Okay, I don't wanna lose communication, so I'm gonna use this computer to get her info.

Okay.

We can't leave, so we're gonna need some help.

[CELL PHONE BUZZES]

Hey.

Hey, um, look.

I I know that you are upset with the God Account right now, and me.

And I get that, but I really need your help.

Look, Miles, I told you I can't be involved with the God Account.

My Friend Suggestion is stuck on a window washing rig 40 stories high outside IdentitySeal right now and he's planning on jumping.

Are you serious?

Yes, hey.

His name is Miguel Solano.

His wife's name is Isabel.

Now Rakesh is going to text you her information.

I need you to talk to her, and see if she knows what's going on.

And get her down here as fast as you can.

Yeah, okay.

I'm on it.

Thank you.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

I'm Captain Murphy.

You two are the ones that leveled the rig?

Yeah, my name is Miles.

And this is Rakesh.

He was able to reboot the system.

Nice job.

If you hadn't leveled it, - we may have been too late.

- So what's the plan?

I got a team headed to the roof now.

Provided the rig's stable, we can manually raise it to safety in about 30 minutes.

FDNY wants to clear the floor.

You guys should head out.

Wait, do you think we can stay with him?

Rakesh turned on the two-way radio on the rig.

I spoke to Miguel, told him that help was on the way.

I thought that maybe I can keep talking to him, keep him calm until you can get him to safety.

Hey, Captain.

I don't see any damage on the rig.

We're gonna head up to the roof.

Okay.

In these types of situations, hearing a friendly voice can be calming.

Keep him talking, and we'll let you know when we're ready to raise him up.

- You got it.

- Okay.

Miles, you should have told that Miguel was planning on jumping.

Miguel is weighing all of his options right now.

The last thing he needs is to feel like he doesn't have a choice.

You heard him.

He doesn't want the FDNY involved.

Newsflash, Miles.

They are involved.

I promise if I can't talk him down by the time they're ready to raise the rig, I'll tell them.

In the meantime, keep looking into Miguel and see what you can find.

[DEVICE BEEPS]

Hey.

Hey, Miguel, can you hear me?

Miguel, can you hear me?

I didn't tell the FDNY why you're really up there.

But in less than 30 minutes, they're going to raise that rig.

I can't stop it, so I need you to talk to me, please.

What's your name again?

Miles Finer.

Let me ask you something, Miles.

Why do you care what happens to me?

You don't even know me.

No, I don't.

But the thing is helping people is kind of my specialty.

- You sound like a priest.

- Trust me, I'm far from it.

Though my father is the bishop of New York, so maybe a little bit rubbed off on me.

Your father is Bishop Finer?

Yeah, do you know him?

Not personally.

I'm Catholic.

But I live in East Harlem.

When he was reverend at Harlem Episcopal, he did a lot for the community.

Heard his name plenty.

East Harlem, huh?

Have you been down to Elma's on 116th Street?

Twice a week.

That lasagna with the garlic knots.

That's my daughter's favorite.

Miles.

One sec, Miguel.

So from what I can tell, it looks like his daughter's been sick.

She's been in and out of the hospital for the last couple of years.

Hey, Miguel.

I am going to let you in on a little secret.

Something I think you might want to share with your daughter.

What's that?

When you order the lasagna, ask for the three cheese.

It's off the menu, but I'm telling you it's the only way to have it.

She'd like that.

What's her name?

Ava.

Oh, that's beautiful.

What's she like?

She's the kindest person I've ever met.

Has a smile that makes you smile.

She's sick.

It's her kidneys.

I'm sorry.

Is there anything that could be done?

Yeah, she needs a transplant.

I'd give her one of mine in a in a second, but apparently I got a rare blood type.

And I'm not a match.

No one in my family is.

Well, what about a donor?

She's on the list.

But the doctors say it could be a year or two before she reaches the top.

In the meantime, she's on dialysis three times a week.

Upside is it keeps her stable.

Downside is it's expensive.

Past year, bills have piled up.

We can't afford it anymore, and without it Wait, that's why you're doing this?

If you make this look like an accident, your family can collect the insurance.

I got no other choice.

If I had, I would take it.

The money will keep my daughter alive until she can find a donor.

Any father would make that trade.

Miguel, does she know what you're doing?

No, no.

Neither does my wife.

I couldn't put that on them.

Miguel, this is no longer gonna look like an accident.

Sure, it will.

They'll think the harness broke when I fall.

No one will question a thing if I slip.

Unless you tell them.

No.

I won't.

Because actually, I have a better solution.

One where your daughter lives, and you're there to live that life with her.

How?

We raise the money.

Once people hear about Ava's story, they'll wanna help.

And I can make sure they hear it.

What if you can't?

No, I can.

I have a podcast on FreeVerse, my girlfriend is a journalist.

I promise I won't fail.

But I need you to hold on.

I need you to allow yourself to be rescued.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Miles, we're ready to go.

- Tell Miguel to hold on tight.

- Wait.

Wait, wait, wait.

You can't raise the rig just yet.

- Why not?

- Because if you do, Miguel might jump.

- He told you this?

- Yes.

Damn it.

You should have told me the moment he said something.

No, I can talk to him, convince him not to do it.

- I just need more time.

- No, we don't have it.

The cables were damaged when the rig first collapsed.

And the winds are picking up.

If we don't raise Miguel right away, that rig could snap and fall.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Miles.

This is Miguel's wife, Isabel.

I told her what's going on.

Miguel?

Miguel.

Look, deep down, Miguel doesn't want to do this.

Give his wife a chance to remind him of that.

Miguel.

- Please.

- Okay.

Hi, my name is Miles.

He can't hear you through that window, but you need to talk to Miguel.

He thinks this is the only way to save your daughter.

[DEVICE BEEPS]

Miguel?

Miguel, can you hear me?

Miguel, are you all right?

Can you hear me?

Yes.

You need to listen to me.

This isn't the way to save Ava.

I love her so much.

I just want to protect her.

I love her too.

But you can't do this to her.

To me.

God will find another way to save our daughter.

Miguel, you can't do this.

Miguel, they need to raise the rig immediately, or it might fall.

Can I tell them you're gonna hold on?

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Yes.

We're a-go, raise it.

Raise it now.

[SOMBER MUSIC]

Let's go.

Let's go.

Come on.

Miguel?

[CRYING]

Keep your promise, Miles.

My daughter's life depends on it.

I can't believe we saved Miguel's life.

Yeah, thanks for getting Isabel down there in time.

Yeah, of course.

So any word on Miguel?

Yeah.

I spoke to the fire captain.

He said that Miguel was 5150'd.

He's being held overnight at Bellevue for observation.

But considering his circumstances with his daughter, and the fact that he was never really suicidal, he should be released in the morning.

Okay.

On the house for the heroes.

Hey, thanks, Ali.

We are basically the Justice League.

Hey, no, no.

Can't celebrate just yet.

I still have to follow through on my promise I made to Miguel.

- What promise?

- Well, Miles said he'd raise money for Ava's dialysis treatment.

And that's like, at least 100 grand.

Wow.

How are you gonna do that?

Well, my podcast has picked up a lot of listeners this year, and I'm hoping that when they hear Miguel's story, they'll wanna donate.

Mm-hmm.

And once they do, that money needs somewhere to go, so I'm gonna set up a GoFundMe page for Miguel's family.

Yeah, I'll write an article.

Get it out tonight.

I should take off.

Yeah, I'll walk you out?

Hey.

Thanks again.

I couldn't have done this without you.

- Miles - You said that you don't think you could be a part of this anymore.

But if you hadn't have come down here today, if you hadn't have brought Isabel down, Miguel wouldn't have gotten off that rig.

I can't do this without you.

And more importantly, I don't want to do this without you.

I know.

But when it comes to the God Account, I don't think what we want really matters.

For the past year, I have been telling you about my Friend Suggestions.

Usually, it's after we've helped them.

But this time, it's different.

This time, I need your help.


My friends and I have set up a GoFundMe page.

All of the money donated is going to my new Friend Suggestion, Miguel Solano, to help save his 10-year-old daughter - who needs a kidney transplant.

- Now, some of you have already read his story on "Catapult" and started donating.

And for those of you who haven't, I made a promise, and I need your help to keep it, to make sure that this story has a happy ending.

We'll all be, we'll all be We'll all be all right We'll all be, we'll all be We'll all be all right [KNOCKS]

Hey, Miguel.

It's good to see you.

You too.

It's good to be standing on solid ground.

[CHUCKLES]

Come on in.

I got your message.

What did you want to talk to me about?

It's barely been a day, and you've already raised thousands of dollars.

At this rate, Ava can stay on dialysis until we find a kidney donor.

And I am just glad I could help.

You did more than that.

There's something I have to ask you, Miles.

I had my wife, Isabel, look you up.

Told me about your podcast, about this God Account.

Ah, and you want to know if you were one of my Friend Suggestions.

You were.

But I would have helped you either way.

When I was out on that platform, I thought the world had turned its back on me.

On my family.

And so, I prayed for God to send me a miracle.

And then, I heard your voice.

If that's not the power of God Trust me, Miguel.

God is not behind any of this.

God is behind everything, Miles.

He chooses people to do His work.

For whatever reason, He's chosen you.

After yesterday, I can see why.

Miles.

Hey, Dad.

I I heard about your Friend Suggestion.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And how's the fundraising going?

Better than I had hoped.

People are really responding to Miguel's story.

And the funds are pouring in.

- That's terrific.

- Yeah.

Why do I get the sense that that's not why you came down here?

Because it's not.

It's about Cara.

Things haven't settled between you two?

No.

- I'm not sure if they will.

- Hmm.

Dad, I think the only way for us to save our relationship is to give up the God Account.

I see.

Is that what she wants?

No.

She would never say it, but I can tell deep down, she knows it's the only way.

And you want me to tell you that you're making the right decision, - is that it?

- Am I?

Let me ask you a question.

When you imagine your future, and you're looking back at this moment right now, what decision would you regret the most?

Walking away from the God Account, or Cara?

I never thought of the God Account as being in my life forever.

But with Cara, I do.

I guess you have your answer.

Hey, I just saw Miguel's GoFundMe page.

- It's already at $25,000.

- Yeah.

Looks like everything is gonna work out.

Which is why I came down here.

To talk about us.

Cara, you were right.

When it comes to the God Account, what we want might not matter.

But that's only if we have the God Account in our lives.

What are you saying?

I'm saying I choose you.

Miguel is my last Friend Suggestion.

Miles, I I can't ask you to do that.

You're not.

This is what I want.

[CELL PHONE BUZZES]

Hey, Miguel.

What's going on?

What?

Yeah, I'll be right there.

What's wrong?

Miguel's at the hospital.

Ava just went into kidney failure.

They're not sure she's gonna make it.

Look.

I am so sorry, Miguel.

Ava's kidneys stopped responding to dialysis.

We all knew this was a possibility.

It just happened faster than we thought it would.

Is there anything they can do?

The doctors said unless she gets a transplant, she won't make it more than a day or two.

Well, what about the donor list?

Given her condition, she had to move up.

She did.

Ava's number two on the list.

And a kidney became available this morning.

It's type O.

A universal donor.

The person ahead of her is being prepped for surgery right now.

Chances of finding a match for Ava on time are next to none.

Miguel, I don't know what to say.

I promised to help save your daughter Miles.

I could have all the money in the world, and it wouldn't be enough to fix this.

But because of you, I'm able to be here with her.

Even if it's to say goodbye.

That's why I called.

I just wanted to say thank you.

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC]

So you really think this is what the God Account wanted?

To make sure that Miguel was with his daughter in the end?

No, there must be something that we're missing.

You okay?

It's the best day of my life.

They just found a kidney match for my son, Ben.

We've been waiting for over two years.

It's a miracle.

That's great news.

Congratulations.

We're actually here because we know the family who's next in line.

Well, tell them to hang in there.

I know how powerless it feels just sitting around.

All I wanted was to be a match for my son, but Ben's blood type is just so rare.

You mind if I ask what it is?

AB negative.

Less than 1% of the population has it.

That's it.

That's what we've been missing.

I need to find Miguel.

Miguel.

Hey, I've been looking all over for you.

Miles, what is it?

Look, you said that your blood type is extremely rare.

That's why you weren't a match for Ava.

- That's right.

- Are you AB negative?

Yeah.

How'd you know that?

You said you couldn't save your daughter's life.

I think you can.

Just not the way you thought.

[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

You are gonna do great.

And I apologize on behalf of both of the Finer men for their absence tonight.

Thank you, Ali.

But it's okay.

Your father has important business with the diocese.

Ladies and gentlemen, Trish Allen.

Okay, that's my cue.

- Break a leg.

- Thank you.

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you for meeting with us, Bishop Finer.

Sorry for the short notice.

No problem at all.

I appreciate the chance to walk you through my ideas.

Is that a copy of your proposals?

Um, yes.

Truth be told, everything you need to know are in these folders.

Do you have somewhere else to be?

Actually, I do.

My sincere apologies, but I have to go.

Arthur, we didn't come all the way down here just to look over your agenda.

We want to get to know who you are.

What you believe in.

It's far more important than whatever's in these files.

We can agree on that.

And I will be happy to sit with you any other night.

I'll fly to Washington if I have to.

And I should have told you that from the start.

But my fiancée is singing tonight.

It's important to her.

And I need to be there.

I think that tells you everything you need to know about me.

[APPLAUDING]

This next song, I wrote for my fiancé.

Who never ceases to surprise me.

I waited so long For this moment To stand Here with you Mr. and Mrs. Solano.

- The results are in.

- So?

Well, not only are you the same blood type as Ben, but you are also a perfect tissue match.

Now I spoke to his family, and if you are willing to donate your kidney to Ben, then Ava would be approved to receive the kidney that's coming in now.

Absolutely.

With the organ already en route, we expedited all of the paperwork.

So let's get you prepped for surgery.

Thank you.

Looks like you made good on your promise after all, Miles.

If you hadn't saved my life, I wouldn't be here to save hers.

[HOPEFUL MUSIC]

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You were amazing.

What are you doing here?

What happened with the bishops from the executive council?

I told them that I would love their support.

But that there was some place I needed to be.

You know what?

I'm gonna go grab a drink at the bar.

That's incredible.

Thank you.

That means the world to me.

I can't believe that I even considered missing it.

You have given so much for us.

That from now on, you come first.

And if something is important to you, I'm gonna be there.

Always.

Well, I'm glad to hear it because I just thought of something that is very important to me.

[CHUCKLING]

That was quick.

What is it?

You.

It's us, Arthur.

I'm ready to get married.

I am ready to be your wife as soon as possible.

The surgeries were a success.

Look, I thought about what you said.

And I want you to know that I appreciate it.

But you can't walk away from the God Account, Miles.

Cara No, look.

I have seen you do some amazing things.

But today, today was a reminder of how special you are.

It took five years for the God Account to find a replacement for Gideon.

Think about all the lives that won't be helped, the lives that won't be saved if you walk away.

How could we be happy together knowing that?

That's why I need to walk away from the God Account and from you.

Wait hey, Cara.

Cara Cara, hey.

Don't, don't, don't.

Don't do this.

I don't see any other way.

I wish I did.

But you can't leave the God Account and I can't stay.

Not after what happened, knowing it'll happen again.

Okay, what if I walked away, and no one from the God Account got hurt?

What if there was a way that we could be together and no one had to pay the price?

There is nothing that I want more.

But we both the God Account won't let that happen.

I'm sorry.

Miles, I love you.

But it's over.

Where ever you've gone How, how, how I just need to know That you won't forget about me Where ever you've gone I'm sorry, Miles.

Like, I know how hard this is.

But at least she still loves you.

But knowing she still loves me doesn't make it easier, Rakesh.

It makes it harder.

And also, why are we walking to Grand Central again?

I told you, there's a churros stand that's gonna blow your mind, okay?

It's the first place I came after Jaya and I broke up.

Okay, so first burritos, and now churros?

You have a problem, Rakesh.

I love food, okay?

Guilty as charged.

What are you gonna do, man?

I don't know.

But Cara was right about one thing.

It took the God Account five years to find a replacement for Gideon.

If I walk away now, who knows how long before Friend Suggestions were being helped again?

Too bad we can't just find your replacement now, huh?

Wait.

That's it.

What is?

If I can figure out who's behind the God Account, then maybe I can convince them to find someone else to take over.

And when they do, Cara and I can be together.

Sounds like a good plan.

- Yeah?

- Other than, you know, having absolutely no way to track down who's behind this.

Miles?

- Joy?

- Rakesh.

Hey, Joy.

What are you doing here?

I just got back into town.

This is crazy, I was literally about to call you guys.

I'm back working as a public defender in Chicago.

I'm here in town for a case.

Oh, wait, that's great.

What kind of case?

Well, actually, that's part of the reason I wanted to talk to you.

Miles, I have a lead on the God Account.

What are you talking about?

The Friend Suggestions.

They're not picked at random.

I found a connection between all of them.
