Previously on "God Friended Me... "
The Friend Suggestions, I found a connection between all of them.
We figure out who's behind this,
and then I tell them to replace me,
and we can be together.
If it doesn't work out, my heart would be broken twice.
We know you hacked New York Sun.
I make most of my money playing online poker.
I was hired by New York Sun to infiltrate their system.
- Who hired you? - Guy by the name of Alphonse Jeffries.
I did some more digging into Alphonse,
and turns out he's a veteran of the US Army.
That's my dad's battalion.
Alphonse is coming to the wedding.
Ali, are you okay?
No.
For the past year and a half,
I have been searching for who's behind the God Account.
This weekend, I might come a step closer
to getting some answers,
and if I do, I can finally walk a new path
with the woman I love.
Yeah, spoke with my attorney this morning.
He's sending over the papers this afternoon.
All you need to do is sign them, and, um,
the divorce will be official.
Yeah, we'll tell 'em after this weekend.
Okay, see you soon.
_
Thanks for cutting your run short.
Yeah, no problem. What's going on?
Um, can we sit?
Yeah.
A few days ago, I...
I felt a lump in my breast.
So, uh... I went to the doctor, and she ordered a biopsy,
and I should get the test results back
in the next day or two.
Yeah, I know it's a lot.
I wasn't sure if I should tell you or not.
Of course you should have.
Hey, hey, hey, listen to me.
No matter what the doctors say...
we're gonna get through this,
and I am going to be with you
every step of the way.
That's exactly what I needed to hear right now.
Will you come with me when I get my test results back?
Absolutely.
How's she doing?
I think she's still processing it all,
but she seems good.
- And you? - I'm scared.
Ali was too young to remember
what our mom went through, but I do.
Has she told your dad yet?
No, no, she's going to wait until after the wedding.
That makes sense.
Speaking of which,
Alphonse Jeffries is coming to the wedding.
So do you really think that he could be
the person behind all of this?
Well, I mean, the guy owns the insurance company
that all of my Friend Suggestions are coming from,
not to mention my dad saved his life in Vietnam.
Yeah, but even so, he's not just gonna come out and admit it.
Which is why I have Rakesh digging into him,
seeing if there's anything that proves he's behind it
because when I confront him,
he'll have no choice but to come clean.
I am so excited that the two of you
finally get to meet my daughter Julia tonight.
I still can't believe we haven't met.
I know... she and her husband live in Westchester,
but you would think it's the other side of the world
for as often as they get into the city.
- Trust me, you're going to love her. - Hm.
Hey, what are you guys doing here?
The party doesn't start for another hour.
- We're fashionably early. -
And we wanted to congratulate the new couple
before everyone gets here.
Thank you. Well, we need to finish up.
- Mm. - Yeah.
- - Oh, excuse me a moment.
Mm-hmm.
So, Rakesh, you find anything out on Alphonse?
Plenty, but nothing that would indicate
he's behind all this, especially since
I couldn't find the link between him and the tech world,
which there should be, you know,
considering the complexity of the God Account code.
Well, we have two days before he arrives for the wedding.
We just need something by then.
So that was Alphonse.
He decided to come into town early,
and he's gonna stop by tonight.
So, Miles, I know that you think he could be
behind the God Account.
- Do me a favor. - Mm-hmm.
Tread lightly.
Alphonse is gonna be here in an hour?
Well, what do we do now?
We don't have any proof or anything.
No, but if he's arriving into town tonight,
then I might as well talk to him
and see what I can find out.
Your dad and Trish look so happy.
They do.
Dude, Alphonse is here.
I can't believe we could be staring
at the man behind the curtain.
What are you gonna say to him?
I mean, if he is behind the God Account,
he's not gonna just come out and tell you.
Maybe take a page from your playbook...
talk first and figure it out second.
You're not ready.
Miles, this is my daughter Julia.
- Oh, hey! - Hi.
It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
- I've heard so much about you. - I know, me too.
I can't believe it took their wedding
to finally bring us together.
Uh, these are my friends Joy, Cara, and Rakesh.
Hi.
There he is.
Miles, I want you to meet my husband Sam.
Hey, it's nice to meet you.
Yeah, y-you too.
I'm gonna grab a drink. Can I get you something?
Uh, you know what? I'll come with you.
I'll catch up with you guys later.
Sam and Julia have been best friends since they were kids.
It's like they were meant for each other.
Oh, excuse me.
You've gotta be kidding me.
- What? - I was on a run this morning
when I overheard this guy talking on his cell.
It was Sam, but I didn't know it at the time.
He was talking to Julia about signing the divorce papers.
Wait a sec... they're getting divorced?
Do they know that?
Well, clearly they're trying to hide it from everyone.
They probably don't wanna ruin the wedding.
What are you gonna do?
Nothing, I mean, what can I do?
Oh, hey, Miles.
- Hm. - Alphonse is alone.
Here's your chance to go talk to him.
_
Wait, I...
I just got a new Friend Suggestion.
Hold up, did he just send you a Friend Suggestion
from 15 feet away? Man, that is bold.
Or he was just texting someone.
No, I don't think so.
Like, a Friend Suggestion is the perfect way
to keep Miles occupied while he's in town.
I think you're right. My new friend suggestion
is Trish's daughter.
Trish and I would like to thank all of you for coming.
I'm looking around the room at so many of you
who are willing to drop everything to be here.
I can't think of two people who are more blessed
than we are,
but we had to go through a lot to get here.
And in the words of Miss Etta James...
"At Last."
Cheers.
- Cheers. - Whoo!
Look at him.
He's toying with us, guys.
- You know, we need to get his phone. - Hmm?
"Get his phone"?
Yeah, yeah. If he sent Miles a Friend Suggestion,
it's probably still on his browser history.
Rakesh, stealing his phone
at Trish and Arthur's cocktail party
is the very definition of not treading lightly.
Look, she's right,
and I should probably go talk to Julia...
I mean, she is my Friend Suggestion,
not to mention Trish's daughter.
I just need to figure out what it is I need to do to help her.
Yeah, go right ahead.
Play right into his hand. Do it.
Just sit tight.
Keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't leave.
I'll talk to him afterwards.
I'm gonna go say hi to Ali. I'll be right back.
Why do I get a feeling that we're not just gonna sit tight
and keep an eye on him?
Because we're not?
