God Friended Me

Previously on "God Friended Me"...

I love you,

but we can't be together.

But we're soul mates.

The president of IdentitySeal liked your idea?

- My soul mate app. - You really think an app

- is gonna help you win Jaya back? - Yeah.

If the God Account can save Ali,

I'll agree to become its prophet,

even if that means giving up love.

Then that's what you need to do.

You have a ductal carcinoma in your left breast.

I wanna see Dad marry the woman he loves.

Just for today,

I wanna pretend that everything is right in this world.

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Hey, where's Rakesh and Cara?

You're the first one here.

Any idea what Rakesh wants with us?

No clue.

So, how are things going with you and Cara?

You making the whole "just friends" thing work?

Yeah, kinda.

Am I just kidding myself?

Will things ever get easier?

Yeah. Just gonna take some time.

Hey, look.

Not to completely change the subject,

- but can I ask you for a favor? - Yeah.

Dad and Trish are back from the honeymoon.

I'm going to tell them about my diagnosis this afternoon.

Would you mind going with me?

Of course I'll come with you.

Thank you.

Oh, good. Okay. Everyone got my message.

What is this about, Rakesh?

He wouldn't even give me a hint as we were walking in.

Well, I wanted us all to be together.

I have incredible news.

I finished my soul mate app.

It's up and running and ready to be unveiled.

That's great, Rakesh.

It sounds like you just secured your job at IdentitySeal.

And more importantly, once I put my name in the app

and Jaya's name appears as my perfect match,

I can finally prove to her that we belong together.

I just wanted to share this moment with my best friends.

Whoo! Okay.

Here we go.

So, right now,

the app is scanning the internet

for compatible data points to find the person

whose unique online footprint most complements

my unique footprint, and my soul mate is...

"Lulu Achebe."

That doesn't make any sense.

Who is Lulu Achebe?

Um, your soul mate is my Friend Suggestion.

Okay, Rakesh, I'm confused.

- Didn't you test your app? - I did.

Yeah, with famous couples,

you know, to see if the code was right.

Like Kim and Kanye?

No surprise. Soul mates.

And I was sure Jaya would come up.

Otherwise I would not have made such a production.

Well, I'm sorry, bro.

I know you wanted to prove to Jaya

that you two belong together.

We do belong together, okay?

I'm having my staff run a system check.

It's just a glitch.

Okay.

Or maybe it isn't.

Look, I'm just saying it's kind of hard to ignore

the timing of the Friend Suggestion.

Maybe the God Account agrees with your app.

Maybe Lulu is your soul mate.

And your soul mate needs our help with a problem.

Can you stop calling her my soul mate?

Can you please just look into her?

Okay, fine.

Lulu Achebe.

Let's see what we've got.

Okay, that's weird.

I can't find anything online

outside of her Facebook page.

What, she doesn't have an Instagram?

No, she has one social media account.

Clearly, this would never work.

Okay, well, according to her Facebook page,

she's a grad student at Columbia University.

- Could you pull up her schedule? - Yeah, on it.

Looks like her next class is...

tomorrow afternoon.

Okay, I'll see what I can find on Lulu.

Who, for the record,

definitely not my soul mate.

You should have seen this waterfall.

Nature is truly the art of God.

This is what he says now.

You should have heard him on the way up the mountain.

Oh, please. There had to have been a better way

- to get up there. - It looks amazing, Dad.

Well, as amazing as it was, and it was,

we're glad to be back home.

So what's been going on with you guys?

Actually there is something I wanna talk to you guys about.

Three weeks ago, I found a lump

in my left breast.

It's cancer.

Oh, Ali.

I didn't want to tell you guys before the wedding

because I knew you'd put the honeymoon off.

So what did your doctor say?

That it's invasive ductal carcinoma.

But I'm gonna meet with my doctor tomorrow.

We are going to go over the results of my genetics test

and talk about treatment options.

Miles is gonna come with me.

Sweetheart, I am so sorry I wasn't here for you.

- You are now. - Every step of the way,

I'll go with you on your next appointment,

- we'll alternate, or... - We'll do whatever you need.

Thank you.

And the good news is is that they found it early.

And the doctor's extremely optimistic.

We caught your mother's early as well.

Starting treatment quickly

makes all the difference.

This is a battle.

A battle we have fought

and we have won before.

And we will again.

Excuse me.

You're holding up the line.

I'm sorry.

Um, my friends were supposed to come with me,

but they bailed, so. You know.

- Mine too. - Really?

It sounds like we got some really lame friends.

I'm Rakesh.

- Hi. - Lulu.

How did you hear about the truck?

My favorite site, "Catapult's" food page.

I'm constantly checking it for new spots or where to find

the best pumpkin mac and cheese.

- Charlotte's? - Charlotte's.

- Charlotte's. - Yeah.

My, uh, my friend Cara's actually the head of features

- at "Catapult." - Wait, really?

Mm-hmm, yeah. Why?

Everything okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine. - Okay.

This line is too long.

Hey, any chance you'd like to grab a bite someplace else?

Sure, yeah.

I know a great spot, actually.

- Okay. - That way.

I can't believe that.

You know, I had a full conversation where

I was talking about Data from "Next Generation"

and they were talking about Data from "Goonies."

Well, they're both great Datas.

Hey, so does everybody from Central Africa

know this much about, you know, pop culture in America,

or is that just you?

My parents went to University in the States,

and my mother fell in love with everything America.

She died when I was seven, but she made sure

she pass on that love to me.

Yeah, well, sounds like she had great taste.

Oh, the best.

Hey, don't look now,

but that guy from the food truck is over here.

Is this, like, a stalker situation...

Also, Lulu, I said don't look.

Relax, Rakesh.

That's just Mohammed. He's kinda my, um...

Boyfriend?

No.

My bodyguard.

I haven't been totally honest with you.

My real name is Louella Avila Chuke.

I come from an important family in my country,

and my father can be a little overprotective.

So Lulu Achebe is just an alias?

Like Trinity from "The Matrix."

Look, Rakesh, there's something I need your help with.

Any chance we can meet tomorrow?

Yeah.

Yeah, definitely.

Great.

- Hey. - Hey.

Wasn't that Lulu?

What happened?
