Previously on "God Friended Me"...

Unfortunately, your current treatment

didn't give us the results
we were hoping for.

So what's the next step?

We're gonna have to get more aggressive.

I wanted to see if you were interested

in getting dinner sometime.

So I went on a date with Adam.

Parker said not to tell Miles.

Yeah, I think she's right.

I have a lead on the God Account.

There's a waitress I need
to talk to at a diner

across town. Uh, you're
Marsha Smith, right?

I know Alphonse, the father
of your son, Corey.

I just thought you might
be able to get me in touch

- with him.
- No, I can't.

I followed Corey's mom to Brooklyn.

She's in some building called
the National Sewing Company.

It's just a front for DARPA.

Are you saying that the God Account

could be a massive
government experiment?

That's exactly what I'm saying.

How are things with Ali?

Did she have her next round of chemo?

She was supposed to today,
but the doctor wants to talk to us

- before moving forward.
- Is everything okay?

I think so. All she said was there were

other treatment options
she wanted to discuss.

Hey, two coffees and an
extra chili cheese fries

with everything for me.

[SNIFFLES]

- What?
- It's 8:00 a.m.

Exactly. I heard breakfast
is supposed to be

the most important
meal of the day, so...

Anyway, still no sign of Corey Smith?

- No.
- I mean, no one has come in

or out of this building
in, like, three days.

Maybe we're wrong about this
being a front for DARPA.

That's possible, but I get this feeling

they got a private
entrance somewhere else.

So continuing to stake this place out

in hopes of confronting
Corey is a waste of time.

Right.

I did reach out Adam, see if he
has any contacts inside DARPA.

I'm just waiting to hear back.

I didn't know you and Adam
were still working together.

[LIGHT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Yeah, well, he was a
huge help in finding

the underground poker club

that led us to DARPA in the first place.

Makes sense. So if he knows anyone,

maybe he could get a message to Corey...

tell him we just wanna talk.

Actually, we already have
someone who can do that.

Marsha, Corey's mom.

Whoa. Didn't she make it pretty
clear she didn't wanna help us?

I mean, how are you
gonna change her mind?

By sending a message of my own.

I will catch up with you guys later.

Oh, I gotta meet Ali at the hospital.

♪ ♪

Okay.

Happy to do the stakeout
by myself, thank you.

Just me and my fries.

I know we were planning to start

your second round of chemo tomorrow,

but I wanted you to meet

our hospital administrator,
Ms. Marshall, first.

It's nice to meet you all.

And please call me Tammy.

Tammy oversees new drug
trials here at the hospital.

- What kind of trials?
- We're about to start the second round

on a promising new drug that's
shown remarkable results

in shrinking tumors
that initially resist

traditional chemotherapy...

tumors like yours, Ali.

So you're saying I would
start this new treatment

instead of my second round of chemo?

That would be the hope.

With your permission,

I'd like to have your file
transferred to my department

- for a better look.
- But we know time is a factor.

- When would she start?
- The trial starts in a few days,

so no impact there.

Dr. Chang and I agree that you'd
be an excellent candidate.

That said, due to the
drug's early results,

we have been inundated with
patients looking to participate.

Is there anything we can
do to increase her chances

- of getting in?
- Unfortunately, no.

At the end of the day,
Tammy and her team will review

all the applicants' results and
make their final decisions.

Dr. Chang will schedule
some additional blood work

and panels to see if you qualify,
and I'll be in touch.

It was nice meeting you all.

[ALL BUT MILES CHUCKLE]

I can't believe it, Miles.

I have been praying for
something like this to happen.

Hello? A little excitement, please?

No, I... I am excited.
It's just I can't stop thinking

there must be something we can
do to make sure you get in.

Too bad I'm not a Friend Suggestion.

I'd be a lock.

[CELL PHONE CHIMES, BUZZES]

The God Account just liked
a music video on YouTube.

Miles, I know you think the
God Account might help

with my cancer, but you weren't
really expecting to get me

as a Friend Suggestion, were you?

Well, why not? After
everything I've done for it,

it'd be nice if it did
something for you.

Hi.

I thought I made myself clear.

I'm not answering any
questions about my son.

You might as well leave.

I followed you

to the National Sewing
Company last week.

I know Corey works for DARPA,

and I know what he's working on.

I need you to deliver a message.

- And what would that be?
- I need to talk to him.

2:00 p.m., tomorrow,
my office at "Catapult."

He'll never talk to a reporter.

Well, that's fine. But at
2:01, he'll read my article

about the code he wrote
that he's been testing

on my friend Miles Finer.

I'm sure readers would
be fascinated to learn

that DARPA's using innocent civilians

as test subjects for
their new technology.

Or, we can have a conversation,

It's like we just stepped onto

- Never mind.
- Okay, um,

according to her Facebook page,

Kylie works here after school.

- Isn't that her?
- Yeah.

- Hi, can I help you?
- Uh, yes.

Actually, I was looking for
some music for my sister,

and I thought a vinyl
would be a great gift.

Yeah, what kind of music does she like?

Mainly R&B. She says hip-hop,

but that's just an act.

- Your parents must be really excited for you.

Uh, it's just me and my mom.

And she's here.

Sorry, could you excuse me for a sec?

Yeah.

[SOFT SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Seems like a good kid.
I wonder why the God Account

- sent you her name.
- I think I know why.

It's Kylie's mom.

of Ali's cancer trial.

Rakesh, she's the one who's
gonna be able to choose

- whether she gets in or not.
- Okay, Miles,

- that can't be a coincidence.
- No, it's not.

Hey, I think the God Account
is trying to help Ali

by sending Kylie as a Friend Suggestion.

Yeah, that makes sense.
Fix Kylie's problem,

and her mom can't help but be grateful.

- Yeah.
- Will you at least listen to her?

Alex says this tour is a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

You're 16.

You're not signing with that manager,

- Not really. [SIGHS]

I should've known my mom
wouldn't let me go on tour.

And why's that?

Because being in the music
industry has been my dream

for as long as I can remember.

Even before the video went viral,

I was getting offers from
labels and managers.

She said no to all of it.

- [DOOR OPENS]
- Hey.

Where's your mom?

I thought she was
coming down to meet us.

She did. She already left.

Oh, it went that well, huh?

- Sorry, this is Miles and Rakesh.
- Hi.

- Alex Moss.
- You're Kylie's manager?

Yes. Well, at least I'm hoping to be.

Alex is the best.

She's the one who convinced
Robertson Records

to include me on the million hit tour.

But you saw what I'm up against.

- My mom won't listen.
- Hey, I know what it's like living

under a single parent,
how protective they can be.

Yeah, my dad and I didn't
see eye-to-eye on anything.

You don't get it.
This isn't even about me.

- What do you mean?
- My mom had a sister, Grace.

She was a singer like me,

and she OD'd when she was only 20.

And your mom thinks
if you get into music,

you're gonna turn out just like her?

I'm being punished for something
I had nothing to do with.

- How is that fair?
- It's not.

Well, there must be some kind
of way to find common ground.

Were you able to find that
with your dad, growing up?

[LAUGHS SOFTLY] Uh, no.

And our relationship was
fractured for many years

because of it.

You don't want that to happen

between you and your mom.

No, I don't.

So how'd you fix it?

Honestly, it took something extreme

to bring us back together.
But we started talking,

- and it was worth it.
- Well, look.

The tour doesn't start for another week.

I can hold them off for a little while,

but we need to find a way
to get through to your mom,

no matter what it takes.

Like Miles said,

getting through to my mom is
gonna take something extreme.

Hey, so what did you find
out about the YouTube star?

You know, nothing yet.

Yeah, we stopped by the record store

that she works at, but she wasn't there.

Hmm, okay. Well, keep me posted.

You know, I kinda feel like
I'm part of the God Squad

- these days.
- For sure.

[BOTH LAUGH]

- Dude.
- Mm.

Why didn't you tell Ali
who Kylie's mom is?

Because I don't want to worry
her that my Friend Suggestion

might jeopardize her chances
of getting into the trial.

Hey, how'd it go with Marsha?

Well, I told her that we
need to meet with Corey

by 2:00 tomorrow or I'd
publish everything we know

about what he and DARPA have been doing.

So by "message" you meant "threat."

- Nice play.
- Thank you.

What have you guys been up to?

I got a new Friend Suggestion,
Kylie Marshall.

She is a 16-year-old singer
who wants to go on tour,

but her mother is against it.

Okay, so have you talked to her mom?

That's the problem.

Her mom works at the hospital.

I met her this morning
when I was with Ali.

She's in charge of the new drug trial

Ali's trying to get into.

And you're worried if you
interfere with Kylie,

her mom would hold it against you.

This new drug trial
could be the difference

between life and death.

I can't ignore that.

Look, Miles, no one's asking you to.

But our best chance of this
working out for everyone,

including Ali, is to
do what we always do.

He's right.

Which means you gotta talk to her mom.

Okay.

Bishop Finer?

- Yes?
- I'm sorry to disturb you.

Yeah, not a problem, Miss...

Of course. Um, it's been a while.

Please, take a seat.

I'm sorry to barge in here
after all these years,

but I... uh, I need to speak with you.

Of course. What about?

My son, Corey,

the son I had with Alphonse.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

I only just heard he had a son.

I had no idea that you were Corey's mom.

Well, I am, and I will
always have my son's back,

which is why I'm here.

A reporter named Cara Bloom

is blackmailing him,
threatening to ruin his reputation.

It doesn't sound like the
Cara Bloom that I know.

Well, she claims that my son is behind

some kind of code that's
linked with your son, Miles.

Yes, uh, the God Account.

I don't know what the God Account is,

but if it's being used on
civilians like your son,

there is no way Corey is behind it.

I was hoping you would speak with Miles

and explain this.

Miles has been trying to find out

who's behind the God Account
from the beginning.

If he and Cara think
that Corey is behind it,

they must have a good reason.

So you're saying you
won't speak with him?

No, I'm saying that even if I did,

it wouldn't make any difference.

Miles is not gonna stop
until he's figured it out.

your sister, Grace.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure

how any of this is your business.

Look. I know that you
love your daughter,

and that you would do
anything to protect her.

But take it from me,

you might be driving her away.

What's going on?

That manager was there after I left?

What... are you two in this together?

I'm not in anything with anyone, okay?

I... I'm just here to help.

I didn't mean for any of this to happen.

And yet, it did.

Get out of my office, now.

This is bad.

I mean, Tammy blames me for
Kylie wanting to emancipate.

She thinks I gave her the idea.

Dude, in all fairness,

you did tell Kylie to go do
something extreme, so...

Rakesh, not helping.

No. No, no, no.
He's right, I did say it,

and now I may have
screwed up Ali's chances

of getting into the trial.

Miles, this isn't your fault.

Okay? You don't just
decide to emancipate

and serve papers in a matter of hours.

I'm guessing Kylie had this
in the works for a while.

Yeah, she's right. I mean, Kylie did say

this had been an ongoing
fight with her mom.

Yeah, and I pushed her over the edge.

Look, enough with the blame game.

The good news is, we know what's wrong

and we know how to fix it.

Look, just talk to Kylie,

convince her to call all of this off;

make sure that she and her mom

reconcile before it's too late.

If you do that,

all will be forgiven with Tammy.

Uh, yeah, sure. What's up?

I was with your mom yesterday

my sister might be up for.

Look, what... what I'm
trying to say is... I get it.

Hey, going on tour is
an amazing opportunity,

but risking your relationship
with your mom

is not the answer.

You said it yourself.

I had to do something extreme.

Hi.

What happened?

I ran into Alex.

She said that she was
managing Kylie again.

She found out the same thing you did.

Apparently, the lawyer she
hired for Kylie's emancipation

No.

then she'll tell her everything.

Then she's... she's blackmailing you.

into that courtroom,

no matter who wins, they both lose.

down and think things through?
