14-year-old Charnelle Bishop tells her grandmother that she’s going to the museum for an essay she has to write about “finding a piece of yourself in history.”  But she’s really going there to buy drugs from her dealer, Lamont.  Monica tries to forge a bond with Charnelle through her love of music, but Charnelle is wary of Monica.  Monica catches Charnelle in the bathroom lighting up a joint and refuses to give it back until she begins her homework assignment.  Monica tells Charnelle the story of how Billie Holiday fought her own battle against drugs

In flashback, we return to a Greenwich Village speakeasy in 1939 where Billie Holiday is performing, with Andrew auditioning to be her pianist.  But Charnelle isn’t interested in hearing about love songs, she likes music that tells the truth.  Monica resumes the story of how Billie Holiday reacted when she first read the lyrics to the song “Strange Fruit” — the first song to tell the truth about lynching of African Americans.  Monica persuades Charnelle to enter the exhibit of lynching photographs on display at the museum, but after viewing them, Charnelle is surprisingly unmoved.  Charnelle meets with Lamont in the lobby, asking him for something stronger.  Aware that Charnelle’s brother died of a drug overdose, Monica asks why she hasn’t learned from his death.

As Monica resumes Billie’s story, Andrew is eventually able to persuade Billie to sing the song, but she pleads with Andrew to get her the drugs to give her the strength.  But Charnelle is impatient with Monica’s story and grabs the joint out of her hands.  She turns a corner and runs into a security guard, who discovers the joint and calls her grandmother to pick her up.  As she waits, Monica resumes her story, with Billie in worse shape, craving drugs, when Andrew’s “connection” arrives and it’s Tess.  But Tess isn’t there to push drugs, she’s there to push God.  Georgia arrives at the museum security office, demanding an explanation from her granddaughter.  On hearing of the lynching photographs, Georgia forces Charnelle to view them with her.  Georgia asks Charnelle to describe what she sees, when to Charnelle’s surprise, her grandma starts describing the scene from memory — because the man in the photograph was her brother, Earl.  Georgia explains how Earl was not only her brother, but her teacher and her best friend.  He taught her to read, and when her birthday came around, he worked extra hard to buy her a gift, which his employer falsely accused him of stealing.  The gift was her Bible which she is never without and became the source of her strength.

Monica resumes Billie Holiday’s story as she summons the courage to sing “Strange Fruit” before a live audience.  After the song, there is complete silence — until finally, the sound of one person applauding, followed by the thunderous applause of the entire audience.  Monica reveals herself as an angel and urges her to learn from her brother’s mistake and choose life and turn her back on drugs.  Monica encourages Charnelle to hold onto her dream, and to write her essay, and tell the truth for her generation as Billie did for hers.  When Lamont returns with the drugs, Charnelle takes the first step, telling him she’s changed her mind.

Monica is summoned to be a juror on a murder case in which the defendant could get the death penalty.  The defendant, Brendan Falstaff, is on trial for the murder of his former girlfriend, Elizabeth Bennet.  The prosecution maintains that Brendan Falstaff set fire to Elizabeth’s house while she was asleep.  The defense, however, maintains that their case is built merely on hearsay and circumstantial evidence.  After hearing both sides present their case, the jury is ushered into the deliberation room to reach a verdict.  Carol Anne is selected as the foreperson and tallies the votes, but Monica holds up the process by requesting the others to discuss the decision.

Most of the jurors are in agreement that the evidence supports finding Brendan Falstaff guilty — based on investigators’ findings that the fire was the result of arson, that a gas can was found in Brendan Falstaff’s trunk and that Mr. Gunderson, the neighbor across the street, identified Brendan’s car leaving the scene of the crime.  Monica raises some doubt regarding Mr. Gunderson’s ability to identify the license plate when he couldn’t identify the make of the car.  One of the jurors is able to explain this to the other jurors’ satisfaction, but Monica remains unconvinced of Brendan’s guilt.  Outside the courtroom, Tess overhears two officers discussing the case.  The one man who could corroborate Falstaff’s alibi was a homeless wino whose testimony was inadmissible.  Tess is frustrated that an innocent man could be convicted, but Andrew reminds her they’re here on assignment and refuses to let her interfere with the wheels of justice.

Meanwhile, back inside the deliberation room, Monica asks God for help, and her prayer is answered when she notices that one of the jurors is dyslexic.  Monica asks the jurors to consider the possibility that Gunderson was dyslexic, and that he merely repeated Falstaff’s license plate by memory, having towed his car from in front of his house on numerous occasions.  Monica’s insight turns the tide as the other jurors start to change their minds.  Undone by the prospect of an acquittal, Carol Anne reaches her breaking point and rushes into the restroom.

Monica talks with Carol Anne privately and discovers her zeal to convict Brendan Falstaff has more to do with her husband’s unsolved murder in an unrelated case.  Over the years, Carol Anne has turned her anger inward, blaming herself albeit without cause.  Monica assures Carol Anne that she is not to blame and that she needs to find forgiveness, starting with herself.  Carol Anne emerges from the restroom and admits to her fellow jurors how her state of mind clouded her ability to see the truth.  She calls for another vote.  Back in the courtroom, the verdict is announced and Bredan Falstaff is acquitted.  Recognizing the victim’s parents’ sense of grief, Carol Anne approaches them in an effort to help them find the closure she so desperately needed.

Bud and Betsy Baxter are in their fifteenth year hosting the popular local TV program “Breakfast with the Baxters” when they learn their show is being cancelled.  Still reeling from the loss, Bud and Betsy are grateful when two unexpected visitors (Monica and Andrew) show up on their doorstep, feigning car trouble.  Monica and Andrew become a welcome distraction for the Baxters, who have devoted their lives to their show and in doing so, have avoided dealing honestly with each other.  With a captive audience, Bud and Betsy take a certain glee in telling their guests the whole ugly story of how they were unceremoniously canned after 15 years.

Monica and Andrew try to convince the Baxters of the importance of grieving.  But Bud pours himself another Scotch while espousing the importance of carrying on.  Meanwhile, Betsy busies herself looking through some storage boxes for her mother’s meatloaf recipe when she comes across a baby’s jumper outfit — a painful remind of the child they “lost.”  But it’s not long before the truth comes out that they didn’t actually “lose” the baby, so much as they “cancelled” it — just like their show has been cancelled.  Rather than talk about it, Bud retreats to his rose garden to cover the roses from an expected frost.  Andrew joins Bud, who explains that the news of Betsy’s pregnancy came just as they got their big break to host their own TV program.  They ended up getting into an argument and rather than deal with it, he took off for a wedding they were supposed to attend together.  When he returned, the pregnancy had been terminated and neither of them brought up the subject again.

The argument comes to a head and in his usual flight response, Bud heads off in search of a suitcase.  Meanwhile, Monica helps Betsy sort through her feelings.  Betsy admits that she didn’t feel she had the right to grieve.  She thought they’d get their careers going and that the babies would come later.  Their inability to discuss their loss only fostered resentment which built up over the years.  Bud is getting ready to leave when Monica asks why they have no chairs around the dining room table.  Betsy explains how their first dinner together in their new home became so awkward because of the topic they were both avoiding.  Bud made up the excuse that the chairs weren’t comfortable in order to escape into the kitchen to eat alone, and dining room chairs are something they’ve done without ever since.

Bud is about to walk out on his marriage when Betsy urges him to fight to save their marriage.  Betsy then asks Monica to read a poem she wrote and had saved all these years.  In the poem, Betsy expresses her need to share her grief with Bud.  Bud apologizes and begins to break down the wall that had come between them.  Monica and Andrew reveal themselves as angels to deliver a message of forgiveness and the importance of including God in their decisions, in their lives and at their dinner table.  Dining room chairs appear at the table where they were not before, as Monica and Andrew leave Bud and Betsy to begin anew.

Cantankerous 102-year-old film director Chandler Crowne wants to die, but Andrew tells him he’s got unfinished business.  Enter Stevie Noonan, twenty-something student filmmaker who’s making a documentary about the famous director who built his reputation on dark, depressing subject matter.  Stevie’s task is to persuade the reclusive genius to share why he abandoned his early comedies for the dark films which became his trademark.  In flashback, we find a young Chandler directing his leading lady, Ruby, in an ambitious and inspirational film called “Redemption.”

Besides dealing with a temperamental leading lady, Chandler had to contend with Sid Lumsky, the head of the studio, who fires one of his actresses for having an affair with a member of the crew.  Forced to choose from a bevy of young unknowns, Chandler chooses Monica.  Chandler then breaks off prematurely, leaving Stevie with unanswered questions.  On her way out, Stevie lifts Chandler’s pocket watch, only to return later with the pawn ticket as a bargaining tool to get him to give her the exclusive she needs.  Chandler resumes his story as we flash back in time to the day Chandler filmed the fateful scene which changed his career…and his life.

With Lumsky breathing down his neck to finish shooting, Chandler films a stunt involving Ruby crashing into a tree.  The stunt goes awry and Ruby is killed.  But Stevie, aware deaths during the making of movies were not uncommon in those days, doesn’t understand how that changed his whole cinematic vision.  With her deadline approaching, Stevie returns the next day with Chandler’s watch, hoping to get the missing piece of the puzzle.  Chandler explains how he argued with Lumsky over the ending of the movie and how he snuck into the projection booth the night of the premiere and cut the happy ending.  Lumsky was furious until he heard the enthusiastic audience reaction.  Chandler explains he cut the ending because he was mad at Lumsky.  But Stevie is still unsatisfied, having expected some sort of epiphany.  Stevie lashes out at Chandler for belittling her search for answers, hoping to find answers for her own personal pain.

Monica then reveals herself as an angel to Chandler.  She explains how God gave him a gift, which he could have used to encourage and uplift millions.  But instead, he only used it to perpetuate his private pain.  Monica tells him it’s not too late to encourage one person — Stevie.  Chandler finally confides in Stevie that he changed the ending to his movie, not because he was mad at Lumsky, but because he was mad at God.  Not only were Ruby and Chandler married, but she had just told him that she was carrying his child.  Chandler then screens the original unedited version of the film for Stevie, with the restored happy ending.  Stevie is moved, but remains dubious about the real world, which doesn’t always deliver happy endings.  Chandler encourages her to look again, that life is what you make it, and gives her the original restored version of the film, before Andrew escorts him to the hereafter.

Rick and Annie Higuerra are expecting their first child and struggle to keep up with their debts.  Annie, seven months pregnant, is undeterred by her husband’s suggestion to cancel their Halloween party in a few days.  The angels make their own preparations as Tess alerts Monica to Satan’s presence in town.  Monica, unseen, keeps vigil outside the Higuerra’s apartment.  Monica confronts Satan, in the form of a lion, but is resolved to protect Rick and Annie, causing the lion to retreat.

Rick and Annie are awakened the next day by their new neighbor, Tess, singing the hymn “When You Can’t Move The Mountain.”  Monica, working as a manicurist at Annie’s salon, meets two of Annie’s clients Millie and Clara, and a wayward 13 year-old boy, Dennis, who finds a set of tarot cards in an old box of decorations.  Monica fears that Annie’s interest in the cards is part of Satan’s plans.  Meanwhile, Rick tends bar in a scarcely populated lounge, his only regular is Cal, a bookie.  Andrew, working as a plumber, is suspicious of Cal’s presence.  Later that night, Rick is unwilling to entertain Annie’s prediction that “Three” is his lucky number.   Annie’s next prediction apparently comes true when they receive an unexpected check in the mail for $4500.  Annie reports her success to the delight of Clara, who requests a reading.   Despite Monica’s admonitions, Annie obliges Clara.

Distressed over her foreboding reading, Clara rushes outside, too preoccupied to notice an oncoming truck.   She is nearly run over, but is pushed aside at the last moment by Monica.  The truck’s logo, as envisioned in Annie’s reading, seems to validate the tarot cards.  Cal hears of Rick’s newfound fortune and tries to convince him to gamble it.  Encouraged by Dennis’ account of how Annie’s cards can foretell the future, Rick wagers the $4500 on a horse named “Three by Three”, believing it to be the one foretold the night before.   Rick is wreaked with guilt for risking their savings and concealing it from his wife.  Rick blames his restlessness on Tess’ singing and rudely confronts her, leading to Tess’ departure.

It is Halloween and Monica is disheartened by the power the tarot cards hold over these people’s lives.  Millie is despondent, finding out “an old enemy returns with death” and Rick has lost their entire future savings.  Rick entertains Cal’s offer to use a loan shark as a way out, but is reminded by Andrew that Cal’s suggestions and the belief in the cards have led to his problems.  Clara and Millie enter the bar.  Millie later excuses herself to the restroom, intending to commit suicide.  Andrew interrupts Millie, who confides her fear that the “old enemy” is her cancer returning.  Andrew reveals himself as an angel and reassures Millie that her cancer has not returned.   Tess appears and explains to Rick, Millie and Clara that there is a God, but Satan also exists.  And their faith in the tarot cards has allowed Satan to disrupt their lives and mislead them away from Annie.   Annie, ready to deliver her baby, calls out for help after accidentally falling down the stairs in her apartment building.   Dennis arrives and reveals his true identity — morphing into a lion.

Monica rushes to Annie’s side and urges her to involve God against the power of darkness —  “the enemy cannot stand in the presence of God.”  Annie becomes empowered as she recalls the hymn sung by Tess.  Annie is joined in her singing by a united Rick, Millie, Clara, Tess and Andrew.  Satan retreats into the night — the beautiful cries of Rick and Annie’s baby boy are heard.

High atop a New York penthouse, Tess is entertaining at a society party hosted by bon vivant Everett Clay when his octogenarian father Benjamin, who still runs the family business, makes a surprise appearance to chastise his son and grandson about their wasteful ways.  The following morning, Benjamin tells Everett the Bible story of the prodigal son who squanders his fortune.  Benjamin reminds Everett that his great grandfather started this company carving handmade buttons and that he’s being disinherited to learn the importance of self-reliance and hard work, handing him a framed deerskin jacket, with buttons carved by his great grandfather.  Angry and penniless, Jake busts the frame, when Tess appears in her Cadillac, offering Everett a ride to Colorado, where some friends of his had invited him to stay.  Before long, they arrive in Central City, the mining town that was in its heyday at the turn of the century.

They stop at the historic Teller House saloon where Everett notices a portrait of a woman’s face painted on the barroom floor.  Tess tells Everett some of the folklore surrounding the fabled portrait, then goes on to tell him its connection to his great grandfather, Jack Clay.  It turns out that the woman whose likeness appeared on the barroom floor worked at the saloon and was friends with Jack Clay.  Tess recounts the story of how Jack had come to Central City to hawk his miracle elixir, preaching its curative powers with the conviction of an evangelist.  Jack loses a game of poker to a known con man named Barkley Stubbs, who not only left town with Jack’s horse and gun, but a bag full of handcrafted buttons he made for his wife.

With Monica and Andrew as his guides, Jack tracks Barkley to a remote mountaintop and finds him unearthing a treasure.  Jack holds Barkley at gunpoint to hand over the treasure.  Monica tries to talk Jack out of it when Barkley makes a move for the gun.  A struggle ensues and the gun goes off, wounding Barkley.  Physically unable to reach the nearest hospital, Barkley prepares to meet his Maker.  But before he does, he advises Jack to put his button-making skills to use, and gives Jack the map to find his way back to Central City.  Tess explains that Jack left the treasure intact, taking only his due.  Realizing what this means, Everett searches the deerskin jacket, finds the treasure map and returns to the spot to unearth the treasure his great grandfather buried over a hundred years ago.  But when he opens it, he is flabbergasted to find a lone button — the button that came off during the struggle between his great grandfather and Barkley Stubbs.

When Everett realizes he’d come all this way for naught, Everett goes into cardiac arrest.  He’s rushed to the hospital and while the doctors work on reviving his body, Monica goes to work on his soul.  With Monica’s help, Everett finally comes to understand the lesson his father had been trying to impart.  When Everett regains consciousness, he calls his father to apologize and to assure him that he’s coming home a changed man.

Max Rigney shows up for his first day of college with his father, Sam, who is proud to show him the frat house of which he was once president–the PIG House.  Rafael meets them and introduces himself as a student.  Tess and Andrew join Rafael, noting that Sam is paying for Max’s education–but only if he goes to this school, pledges this fraternity, and takes all the right courses.  Walking around campus, Sam is greeted by Monica; he recognizes her voice and has a troubling flashback.  He later discovers that Monica is a visiting philosophy professor, and secretly determines that Max will have to stay away from her–which shouldn’t be a problem since he, Sam, has chosen Max’s coursework.  But that night, Rafael helps Max make a decision of his own and take one class his father hasn’t chosen for him–Monica’s philosophy class.

He tells his mother about it on the phone, and mentions that he might not pledge PIG.  He likes being his own man–but that night, his father drives two hours back to campus to demand Max drop the philosophy class and join the fraternity.  So Max pledges PIG and goes through all of the hazing rituals, but Monica is able to convince him to stay in her class.  That night, Max and Jamie and Greg are locked in the clock tower by two frat brothers.  Security guard Andrew shows up and spends some time talking to Max.  After Greg and Max help Jamie through an asthma attack, the boys become fast friends.  Their last hazing ritual demands that if a pledge fails any of the other challenges, he must drink 21 shots of tequila.  When Jamie fails the PIG history quiz, he decides to take the drinking challenge.  When he can’t finish it, Greg finishes for him–drinks the rest of the shots–and immediately passes out.  The PIG brothers convince Jamie to take the rap for the frat by saying he bought the tequila.  Jamie does so, knowing that if he doesn’t he won’t get in.  Greg is raced off to the hospital, and the next night, just after Jamie and Max have been accepted into the fraternity,  Jamie is arrested.

Max discovers that Greg is in a coma–and that when his father was president of the fraternity, there was another controversy, which Sam won’t say much about (it is the troubling night he remembered in his earlier flashback).  Max visits Greg in the hospital and receives a revelation from Rafael, who explains that just like in the popular movie “The Matrix,” there is more to this world than what we can see.  The other three angels appear, too, and encourage Max to make his own decisions–right decisions, based on truth, not on going along with his dad.  They explain that the controversy Sam lied about involved attempted rape and that his father has been lying ever since.  Max decides to confront his father, speak the truth to get Jamie out of jail, and live in the truth–even if that means paying for college himself.

Monica and Tess are driving through North Carolina in search of their next assignment when they get pulled over by a traffic cop and hauled into court.  The presiding Judge turns out to be Andrew, who shows no special treatment and sentences them to “community service.”  He assigns them to assist two members of the community whose feud (dating back forty years) has become a nuisance to the court, in the hopes that the extra assistance will enable them to work out their differences out of court.  Tess assists Pastor Robert Harrigan who is preparing for the arrival of his twelve-year-old grand-nephew, Brian.

Meanwhile, Monica assists Harrigan’s neighbor and chief nemesis, Dr. Lucy Scribner, who submits a written critique of his weekly sermon.  Monica and Tess ultimately realize the purpose of their assignment has more to do with Brian than the two feuding adults.  Lucy strikes a rapport with Brian and explains the reason she became a doctor had to do with her having polio as a child.  She was told by doctors that she would never walk again.  Tess proceeds to tell Monica the story behind Robert and Lucy’s feud which began as a tale of teen romance.  But when Robert told his parents of his plans to marry Lucy, they objected, fearful that polio was somehow contagious.  Robert’s parents saw to it that their marriage plans were thwarted and sent him away to live with relatives, leaving Lucy with a broken heart.  In time, a vaccine was developed and Lucy went on to medical school.

Meanwhile, back in the present, Lucy and Robert square off on opposite sides of a local issue over the placement of a stop sign at a busy intersection.  Lucy is vehemently opposed to the stop sign which she feels would open the floodgates to developers and would encroach on their city’s small town charm.  Lucy and Robert go at it, using the public forum as a means to vent their personal agenda until Brian finally cries out against these two adults behaving like children.  He then runs off and is struck by a car at the very intersection they’ve been debating.  At the hospital, Robert and Lucy learn that Brian suffered damage to his spinal cord and will be paralyzed from the waist down.  Lucy starts to feel hopeless, but Monica reminds Lucy how she proved the doctors wrong when they told her she would never walk again.  Lucy goes on the internet and locates a new drug that could reverse the effects of paralysis — with the caveat that it be administered within 72 hours of the injury.  Unable to convince Robert and the attending physician that this is Brian’s best option, Lucy goes to Judge Andrew to obtain a court order granting her permission to go over Robert’s head to administer the drug, but Andrew denies the request.

With time running out, Tess finds a way to get through to Robert by showing him how his feud with Lucy flies in the face of the very gospel he preaches, reminding him of the Biblical passage of coming to the altar having been reconciled to those you have wronged.  With moments to spare, Monica and Tess act as referees, showing them how their feud is holding a little boy hostage and how this grudge grew out of silence and lack of communication.  With the key to the past finally unlocked, Robert and Lucy make their peace in time to administer the drug — and begin to heal the wounds of the past.

Calvin Chillcut is a storm-chaser who tracks tornadoes for the National Severe Storms Lab.  But due to the dearth of storm activity, the NSSL has just informed him to cease and desist.  Distraught over the news, Calvin ties one on and sleeps through the first twister in 2 years.  The next day, Calvin shows up at the local watering hole (the Die Hard Diner) with a hangover, and by this point, it’s clear that a major storm is headed their way.  Tess points out that Calvin doesn’t have to turn in his equipment until tomorrow and urges him to stop feeling sorry for himself and get busy.  Calvin takes her advice and starts tracking the storm and along the way stops to pick up a hitchhiker — Monica.  Calvin explains it’s his last day — barring a miracle.  And before long, that’s just what he gets — in the form of a twister.

As the Civil Defense Tornado Warning sirens sound, the Sheriff advises everyone in the diner to take cover.  Some take his advice, but most feel perfectly safe in the diner, which they believe to be storm-proof, having weathered many a storm, unharmed.  Joe, a construction foreman from Atlanta, is concerned for his wife, Laura, who’s heading to the diner with their infant daughter.  While Calvin tracks the storm and gives Monica a dose of his cynical world outlook, Tess chides the locals at the diner for blaming God for natural disasters and placing their emphasis on “luck” and superstition.  Only Joe seems to have any appreciation for Tess’ point of view.  Calvin warns Sheriff Guthrie the twister is headed toward the diner when there’s a sudden crash — Joe’s wife’s car has landed outside the diner inches from the Sheriff’s squad car — its grille impaled into the street.  With nobody in the car, Joe holds onto his faith that his wife and child are safe.  Joe heads out in search of his wife and child — along with two others (Langford T and Willard) from the diner.

Meanwhile, Monica suggests looking for Joe’s family, but Calvin is only thinking of himself, intent on saving his job.  It’s here that we get a glimpse of the source of Calvin’s pain and how a tornado struck without warning, killing both his parents, when he was a teenager.  JJ suddenly remembers something about Joe’s wife from a previous visit — that she loved antiques and that she would’ve gotten off the main highway.  Tess convinces JJ to put aside her fear and join her in the search.  Meanwhile, Monica tries to get Calvin to join in the search for the child, but he’s only thinking of himself.  Monica reveals herself as an Angel of God and explains why Calvin has failed as a storm-chaser.  That he’s allowed his rage to control his life and instead of following his heart’s desire, he turned his vocation into something it was not intended to be.

Once he’s ready to listen, he hears the cry of a child — and looks up to see Joe’s baby girl (still in the car seat) wedged between the branches of a tree.  He radios in the good news, but static obscures the message.  Langford T, Willard, Joe and Laura return to find the diner decimated by the tornado, its “luck” having finally run out.  Calvin pulls up in his truck and returns Joe and Laura’s child to two very grateful parents.

The Radcliff family is a paradox of centuries. Mother, Kate, lives in the 19th Century, running an antique shop and avoiding technology as much as possible. Father, Charlie, lives in the 20th Century with his wide-screen TV and microwave. But Sarah, their 13 year-old daughter, and Millie, their kindergartner, live in the 21st Century, relying on the Internet to help them with their school projects. One night while researching Hawaii, Sarah stumbles onto a pornographic website. Charlie and Kate insist she turn it off immediately, upset that this sort of material is so easily accessible.

At the antique store, Kate meets Monica and they become fast friends. Meanwhile Tess, Millie’s teacher, avoids Millie’s questions about reproduction (her pet rabbit is pregnant) suggesting that her mom and dad will want to give her those answers. Kiki, Sarah’s world-wise pal, takes her to the cyber café run by Andrew. At work, Charlie’s co-worker shows him some porn sites on the web. Charlie is intrigued and, before he knows it, has spent an hour surfing these sites. When his boss catches him, he is fired. Charlie tells Kate about the firing, but he lies, saying he was only on the sites for a minute. Despite this, Kate insists on getting rid of the computer. Charlie offers it to Andrew who agrees to rent it for the café. Charlie begins spending time there, preparing his resume.

Sarah, furious that the computer is gone, spends time at Kiki’s house surfing the web. They begin a webchat with “Dean16,” who sends them his picture – he looks like a handsome teenaged boy. But as Sarah sends Dean her picture we learn that Dean is much, much older than he’s portraying. Tess brings Millie home from school and talks to Kate and Charlie about Millie’s questions. They agree to have a speak with her soon. When Kate talks to Monica about protecting her children from the Internet, Monica reminds her that it is more important to equip children with the tools they need to protect themselves.

Meanwhile, Sarah arranges to meet Dean face to face. Charlie admits his lie to Kate, telling her he cannot get the images he’s seen out of his head. This further affects Kate’s hatred of technology. Later, Sarah meets Dean at a local park. At first she is nervous that he seems so much older, but he sweet-talks her into believing he is only 19. She agrees to go back to his apartment. Monica and Andrew find Charlie and Kate, and they reveal to them that they are angels. They tell them of the danger that Sarah is in. At Dean’s apartment he quietly slips some drugs into Sarah’s drink, and becomes upset when she claims she’s not thirsty. As Dean moves to attack Sarah, Charlie and Andrew arrive. Dean attacks Andrew with a bat, but Andrew is able to stop him. In anger, Andrew smashes Dean’s computer. Monica then delivers a message to the Radcliff family – that they have been the victims of an evil force. She also tells them that the Internet is an exciting gift from God but, like many of His gifts, it can be abused. That is why is it important to take precautions with the Internet. A few days later, Sarah unveils a new web page – for Kate’s antique store! Charlie decides to start his own business too – managing the cyber café.
