God Friended Me

Previously, on "God Friended Me"...

You know Falken's real name?

- What was it? - Henry Chase.

One of these students must have written the article

about Henry Chase.

Her name's Pria Amar.

She hasn't seen Henry since college.

Lucky for you, I've kept the article I wrote.

After reading the articles, I started inputting

all the coordinates of all the Friend Suggestions

associated with them.

A Fibonacci Spiral.

Our next friend suggestion is gonna complete the Spiral

and pinpoint the location.

For what?

Falken.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back

to the "Millennial Prophet" my old friend

and OG podcast guest,

Rabbi Zoe Schwartz.

Thank you, Miles. It's good to be back.

We certainly have a lot to chat about.

Well, I can tell that you are dying to talk about

the God Account, so let's talk.

Miles, I'm not here to judge.

I've known you since college.

All you've ever wanted to do is help people.

It sounds like whoever's behind this God Account

is giving you that chance, and you've embraced it.

- Thank you, Zoe. - Yeah.

I... I have to admit, the God Account...

with all of its mystery... has given me a sense

of purpose, and it feels good.

I'm happy for you, Miles,

but as a rabbi, I would be remiss not to say

that what you're doing... reaching out to strangers,

changing lives... is an act of God.

You sound just like my father.

Ooh, speaking of Reverend Finer,

how are things between you and Vader?

Actually, pretty great.

So I guess the only thing left

is just figuring out who's behind the God Account

and why they chose you.

Well, you came at a great time, Zoe,

because I am about to drop some news

for all of my listeners.

My friends and I have unmasked

the man behind the digital curtain,

found a hidden pattern that will lead to Oz himself.

Sounds like you have it all figured out, Miles,

but just remember:

every great story in the Torah,

there's always a test in the end.

Are you prepared for that?

Well, I guess we're about to find out.

So have you told Miles you broke up with Eli?

It just happened, Parker.

Like, three days ago.

That's like a month in the dating world.

Okay.

I'm gonna tell him, okay?

And before you ask, breaking up with Eli

had absolutely nothing to do with Miles.

Of course.

Besides, he's with Nia, so it...

doesn't matter.

Cara, I wanted to let you know

I have made a decision about the opening in features.

Congratulations, you got the job.

That's amazing, thank you.

Finish up whatever article you're working on.

You start Monday.

Congrats!

I know how badly you wanted this.

Yeah.

So now that you're moving on from local stories,

I guess this means no more God Account.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess it does.

- Ali. - Morning, Dad.

Where should I put them?

Uh, on the table is fine.

Okay.

They're beautiful.

- Mom's favorite. - Mm-hmm.

Can't believe it will be 17 years tomorrow.

Your mother wanted peonies

for her wedding bouquet...

but there was a, um...

uh, well, a mix-up with the florist on the day,

and she got a bouquet full of calla lilies instead.

- Oh, God, she was so upset. - Hmm.

At first, the day was ruined,

but by the end of the wedding, she, uh, insisted

that calla lilies were her new favorite flower.

Oh, I gotta run. I gotta open up the bar.

Oh, oh, um, I was thinking:

since things are going well with your brother and I,

maybe he'd like to join us this year

at the cemetery.

I can ask.

Oh, that'd be great. Thank you.

Bye, Dad.

So I narrowed down the possible center

of the Fibonacci Spiral to a radius

of about ten square blocks,

and I was studying the Spiral when I suddenly remembered

something from Pria's article on Henry Chase.

She mentioned this electronics store

where he bought his first computer,

the computer that changed the trajectory of his life,

and that address just so happens

to be inside this ten-block radius.

This is where you guys are like,

"Rakesh, you are a genius.

- Thank you, Rakesh." -

Well, here we, uh...

here we are.

Huh.

You sure you still want to go with "genius"?

Well, it looks like they just opened.

Google Maps must not have updated it.

I was just so sure that this would lead us

to Falken, you know?

Well, it was a valiant effort, Rakesh.

Guess we'll just have to wait for another Friend Suggestion

to narrow it down.

Hey, uh, you hear anything

about your big promotion?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, actually, I...

- Where's Miles? - Um...

Hey.

Miles?

Miles.

Hey. Hey, what's up?

This is the intersection where my mom was killed

in the car accident.

Tomorrow it'll be 17 years.

Miles, I'm so sorry.

You know, this...

intersection is within the ten-block radius

- of the Fibonacci Spiral. -

Can't be a coincidence.

It's not.

Who's "Charles Cole"?

He's the drunk driver that killed my mom.

I mean, why would the God Account

send me his name? Why would it ever think

that I would want to help him?

You know how the God Account works.

He obviously was sent to you for a reason.

I don't care!

There is no way in hell I'm gonna help the guy

that killed my mom!

Miles.

Miles, if we don't help him, we can't complete the Spiral.

Then we find another way.

Okay, look, maybe we should just give you a second.

Take a break.

I'm fine, okay?

Charles Cole is off-limits.

We're not helping him. Understood?

- Okay. - Okay.

You okay?

I don't know.

I mean, there is a line I never thought

the God Account would cross,

but sending me Charles Cole?

They crossed it.

Yeah.

But still...

this can't be a coincidence.

You think I should help this guy.

I think that this might be

about more than helping Charles Cole.

I'm fine.

I don't need any help.

Okay.

Me and Dad are gonna go down to the cemetery tomorrow.

You haven't been in a long time.

Maybe you can join us.

That's you and Dad's thing.

So let's make it an "us" thing.

I mean, you guys are finally in a good place,

and I know it would mean a lot to him...

and I think it would be good for you.

Thanks...

but I'm okay.

So what do Cara and Rakesh think

about you refusing to help?

They're my friends, and they respect my decision.

I don't know, Cara.
