God Friended Me

Previously on "God Friended Me"...

Simon Hayes. Pleasure to meet you, man.

I'm working on something pretty revolutionary.

Why would Henry run the God Account

through Simon's servers?

Because it's Henry's way of making a point.

Arthur's tenure here at Harlem Episcopal

might be coming to an end,

and we think you would make an excellent replacement.

Will you go to dinner with me?

I'd love to.

Wow.

You look great, by the way.

Thanks. You too.

It's a nice night.

Yeah.

Uh... you hungry?

I'm sorry, I have no idea why I just asked that.

No, it's okay.

- And yeah. - Yeah?

- Mm-hmm. - 'Cause I was actually thinking

we could check out that tapas restaurant

you're always talking about.

I love that place.

But I did just go there with Parker.

Oh. Oh, okay.

No, not that you can't have tapas every night of the week.

Oh, no, no, no, no. That's-that's cool.

- We can go somewhere else. - No, no.

You know, unless you want to go somewhere else.

Yeah, um...

Wait, the God Account just liked Zolfo & Sons.

It's a family-owned Italian restaurant in the Village.

So now the God Account's

trying to help us pick a restaurant?

I mean, maybe.

Unless it's actually about a new Friend Suggestion.

Okay, well, why don't we cross that bridge

when we come to it?

What do you say?

Italian it is.

- Hi. - Hi. Welcome.

Do you have a reservation with us this evening?

No, no, but is there any chance we can get a table?

It's your lucky night. We just had a cancellation for two.

I got this.

Welcome to Zolfo & Sons. I'm Sonny Zolfo.

Follow me.

Thanks. Wow, great place, by the way.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

We love it. Young lady.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

This restaurant has been in my family

for three generations.

My grandfather opened those doors in the late 1930s.

- And the menu's hardly changed. - Wow.

When you taste the food, you're gonna know why.

So can I start you off with something?

You want... oh.

Is this a first date?

How can you tell?

Oh, restaurant business.

You develop an eye for these sort of things.

But I promise, you came to the right place.

You know what, I'm gonna have the chef

make a special something for you to start off with

on the house.

- Thank you. - Oh, wow, thank you.

You're welcome.

This place has a great vibe.

Yeah. I mean, who know God liked Italian?

So do you think the owner is our Friend Suggestion?

You know, I was thinking the exact same thing.

But you know what, let's not worry about that.

Right. We're off the clock.

Yep.

This place looks good.

Yeah.

Anything catch your eye?

Nope, nothing yet. You?

Nope.

Hi, I'm Sophia.

Sonny told me you guys were on a first date,

and rather than leave you alone,

I guess he thought it would be nice

to draw unwanted attention to you

by having me bring you this, so...

Well, it looks amazing.

I didn't see anything like that on the menu.

Eh, yeah, we tend to be old-school around here.

If it's not covered in cheese and sauce, it's not Italian.

But I don't know, I thought you guys might be interested

in something a little different.

So on your right,

you have caramelized watermelon with fennel

and oregano-infused sweet vinegar.

And on your left, you have smoked eggplant

with roasted cipollinis and fresh thyme.

All right.

Mmm.

That's amazing.

Yeah, well, I see why you're the chef.

Oh, well, the sous chef actually, but thank you.

Sophia. Excuse me, folks.

I need you to refry the tartare di manzo for table 12 please.

Enjoy.

Thank you.

I thought we talked about off-menu items.

Service isn't the time for your personal experiments, okay?

Quick. Destroy the evidence.

I just got a Friend Suggestion.

For who?

Sophia Zolfo.

Not only is she the sous chef,

she's also Sonny's daughter.

Well, now we know why the God Account send us here.

Well, it's nice to see I'm not the only one working late.

Yeah, just finishing up.

I just wanted to let you know that my team

from Singular Dynamics is gonna be here in a few weeks.

So we'll be good to go.

- Great. - Okay.

Is there anything I can do before they get here?

You know what? Yeah, actually.

It's something that requires a certain degree

of discretion, however.

Okay.

So a few months ago,

someone hacked into my server farm in Palo Alto.

We kicked them off, but they got back in,

and they keep getting in.

Any idea who this is?

Yeah, it's Henry.

Henry Chase, you know, the college pal I told you about.

Yeah. Any idea what he's doing in the system?

He's not doing anything.

Really?

He's just sort of there,

just kinda lurking around.

And you want me to get rid of him?

Your coding reminds me of Henry's.

If anybody can kick him out and keep him out,

you know, it's you.

I mean, is that something you think you can do for me?

Sure.

Great.

Great. Thank you.

But I'm gonna need unrestricted access

to the system.

Why would you need that?

Henry's half as good as you say he is,

I'm gonna need every advantage.

Yeah, I mean, if that's what you think it'll take,

I trust you.

- Okay. - All right, man.

Whatever Sophia needs help with

can wait till later, right?

- Totally. - Yeah, yeah.

It's not like she's going anywhere.

Definitely.

You know, that being said,

it'd be kind of irresponsible of us not to at least

try and figure out what she needs help with,

- considering we're here. - Irresponsible, definitely.

I mean, no reason to be selfish with our night.

No, that's not us.

Okay, there's not much going on on her Facebook page.

Yeah, no recent posts.

Although lucky for us, we know who her dad is.

Hmm.

Oh, excuse me.

You ready to order?

You know, we aren't sure,

but your daughter Sophia,

she made us this amazing amuse-bouche.

Oh, she did, did she?

That's my Sophia.

Let me suggest the Lasagna di Carnevale.

My grandmother brought the recipe right over from Naples,

and I'm telling you, it's the best lasagna in the city.

- Hey, Pop. - Hi, sweetie.

Main rush is over, so Tony said I could take off.

Great, great, go ahead. Thank you.

And thanks for coming in on your day off.

Look, I was just telling this beautiful couple

about our lasagna.

Oh, right, right, right.

His grandmother's recipe,

straight from Naples, best in the city.

Hey, don't knock tradition, all right.

It never gets old.

That's what kept these doors open for 80 years.

Yes, I know, I know.

But I'm late to meet Angela in Brooklyn for a drink.

- Love you. - Love you.

Shoot, you know what.

I left my bag in the back.

You guys enjoy your date.

I'll send over your waiter.
