God Friended Me

Previously on "God Friended Me"...

An issue showed up in your final review.

Any condition, no matter how small,

disqualifies a candidate.

Dr. Chang wants you to start your next round of treatment.

I was on my way to tell Cara

that I was still in love with her.

I knew she was happy and that she had moved on.

He posted it on your website

where everyone who subscribes to you can see it.

He still loves you.

I can't be the odd man out.

- I'm sorry. - Adam.

Uh, you're Marsha Smith, right?

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

Don't call him my father. He's never been anything close to that.

I run R&D for DARPA.

Seven years ago, I created an algorithm, but it was stolen.

Corey lied to us.

When we were hacking the God Account, he launched a virus.

That's why it was glitching.

If we don't figure this out in the next 24 hours,

the God Account will be destroyed.

Hey, I got your message. I don't understand.

I mean, why would Corey want to destroy the God Account?

I have no idea.

- I thought he was on our side. - Yeah, so did we.

But from what I can tell,

we got 12 hours before the account gets wiped out.

Well, can you stop it?

I don't think so.

I mean, at best I'm hoping to slow it down.

Good news is what Corey did

punched a hole through the firewall,

so we can monitor what's going on.

But we can't see anything important about the account.

We were gonna tell you this last night,

but you never showed up.

Uh...

Adam and I decided to go to dinner.

Lost track of time.

Whoa.

What the hell? I think I got a Friend Suggestion.

- Think? - Yeah.

Damn, it must be the bug.

Any way to decipher who it might be?

Yeah, I mean, I can try a few things,

but, Miles, the truth is, like,

unless we can convince Corey to stop this...

like, this might be our last Friend Suggestion.

Okay, well, I-I'm gonna go talk to him.

Do you want us to come with?

No, I got this one.

Miles.

Look, whatever you're planning to say,

it's not gonna change my mind.

Maybe, but I'm not leaving until I do.

So was destroying the God Account your plan the whole time?

No, my plan was to get my code back.

But when that failed, I had to make sure it was destroyed.

Why?

When my code was stolen, I lied to DARPA to cover it up.

If they find the God Account,

they'll put together what happened,

and my career is over.

Not to mention, I'll most likely face criminal charges.

The God Account has been out in the world for years.

Why would they discover it now?

Because we used DARPA's computer

to try and hack its firewall,

which means there's a digital trail.

You had to know that going in.

I did.

But it was worth the risk to try to get my code back.

Now, please, go.

Wait, wait. Look at this.

This is my new Friend Suggestion.

This is a real person who needs my help.

You let the God Account be destroyed,

who knows how many people will suffer from it?

There are other lives at stake beyond your own.

Hey, buddy.

C.J., Megan, this is Miles.

Hi, it's a pleasure to meet you.

- You too. - So big day.

You excited to head back to school, see your friends?

I guess.

Hey, you know what?

I took the whole day off.

I was thinking we could do something later.

I got a lot of homework to catch up on, so...

Yeah, yeah. Well, maybe this weekend.

I should get going.

I could drop you on my way to work.

I'd rather walk.

Nice to meet you, Miles.

Baby, it's gonna be fine.

Getting back to his routine's gonna be the best thing for him.

It's not about his routine.

It's about what happened

and the fact that you won't talk to him about it.

There's nothing to talk about.

He needs to move on from this.

Him or you?

Sorry about that, Miles.

My son's been going through a pretty rough time.

You mind if I ask what's going on?

A month ago, C.J. was at a skate park.

Fell off his board, wasn't wearing his helmet.

He had a pretty bad head injury.

Doctors had to put him into a medically induced coma

for a few days till the swelling went down.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

Listen, Miles, I know how important your Friend Suggestions are,

but I have to protect my family

which means I need to be there for them.

I can't risk DARPA finding out what I did.

I'm sorry, but the God Account is gonna be destroyed,

and there's nothing you or your friends can do to stop it.

Thanks for meeting me.

I want to talk to you about something.

Yeah. Yeah, me too.

- You first. - Okay.

Um...

Adam and I broke up.

Or, more accurately, he broke up with me.

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.

I thought things were going so well.

Yeah, they were...

until he found out that Miles was still in love with me

and wants to get back together.

Well, you can't be that surprised

he still has feelings for you.

Yeah, but this goes way beyond feelings.

I mean, he said that

walking away from us was the biggest mistake of his life.

I mean, I don't know what to do with that.

Well, have you talked to him about it?

Cara, he's gonna find out eventually

that you and Adam aren't together, and then what?

I don't know.

I mean, I was planning to talk to him

when I saw him this morning, and then...

I just didn't.

I don't know why.

Maybe you don't want to answer the inevitable question

he's gonna ask when he finds out.

What do you mean?

Cara, when we love somebody, we generally want to know

whether or not they love us back.

So do you?

I wish I still did.

I moved on. I had to.

I guess the only question is, are you gonna tell him?

I mean, yeah, Rakesh, he doesn't care

about saving the God Account,

and I'm not sure how to convince him otherwise.

Well, look, I might have some pretty good news on that front.

I was able to decipher the last name

of your new Friend Suggestion,

and guess what. It's Smith.

Wait, as in "Corey Smith"?

Well, you know, it's probably the most common last name there is,

but, yes, in this case, he's our most likely candidate.

Which means he has a problem I can fix.

Not a bad way to show him

how important Friend Suggestions are.

Change his mind about saving the God Account.

Any idea where to start?

C.J.?

Actually, I might.

I'll call you back.

C.J.

I'm Miles. We just met at your house.

I'm a friend of your dad's.

W-what are you doing here?

Well, I saw you from across the street, and, um...

Aren't you supposed to be in school?

Hey, look, I do not want to tell you how to play hooky,

but there are way more fun places to go than here.

You know, my dad's the bishop of New York.

I pretty much grew up in the Church.

Why come here?

I don't know.

My parents aren't religious.

Guess I just wanted to come in, check it out.

You know, most people who come to church

are looking for answers.

Maybe I could help.

Trust me, you... you can't.

No, trust me, I'm pretty good at helping people.

Come on, you are sitting in a church by yourself.

What do you have to lose?

I was in a accident. Hit my head pretty bad.

Your dad mentioned it.

Did he ever mention what happened

while I was in my coma?

No.

- Do you believe in angels? - Angels?

That's the exact face my dad made when I told him.
