God Friended Me

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.

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.

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.

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.
