God sent me
a friend request?

Who's John Dove?

- I think you just
saved my life.

- Who the hell is Cara Bloom?

- You wanna figure out
who's screwing with you.

I'm a journalist.
I know how to find people.

- Moved from Ohio to New York.
- She's Cara's mom.

- Cara.
- Mom?

- [crying]

[horn honking, tires squealing]

You stay with me, Cara.
- You're the guy

from the subway.
- John Dove?

She needs a doctor.
- I am a doctor.

- New York City,

a place where lives intersect
in the most surprising ways.

Is it all part
of a grand design

or a game of chance?

A few days ago, someone calling
themselves God on Facebook

started sending me random
friend suggestions

from people I didn't know,

like my new friend Cara.

She's a journalist who
had writer's block.

I helped her reconnect
with her mom,

and now she's writing again.

The thing is,
I know it's not God.

I don't believe in God.

But I am determined to figure
out who's behind this.

Now, my best friend Rakesh
and I have been trying

to track them down.

[computer beeps]

So far, they're winning.

But it's not all bad.

I did reconnect with my dad.

Of course he's a reverend
and I'm an atheist,

so we've got a long way to go,
but it's a start.

And it makes
my sister Ali happy.

She really wants us
to be a family again,

and I'm pretty sure she's
using us as a case study

for her graduate psych thesis.

♪

But for now I don't have time
to worry about the God account.

And, sure, I'm intrigued,

but I've got much bigger
things going on

that demand my attention.

A brand-new satellite radio
company is interested

in my podcast,
"The Millennial Prophet."

Now, I gotta keep
the details hush-hush,

but here's hoping that next
time you hear from me,

it's on a much
larger platform.

through the noise.

That podcast is yours.

Wow, thanks, man.

- And "The Millennial Prophet"
is exactly the kind of show

that we can grow
into an enormous hit.

- Well, great.
Where do I sign?

- I just--I just wanna
make sure that we're on

the same page moving forward.
- Yeah, of--of course.

- Now, the last few podcasts,
you mentioned something

called the God account.

That--is that supposed to be
some kind of metaphor, or--

- Uh, yeah.

Yeah.

- Clever.

Drop it.

- Oh.
- Yeah, it's off-message.

See, I want the guy beating
the drum of a godless world.

I don't want you to meet
your audience in the middle.

I want you to pick a lane.
Stick to it.

I did.

anything around.

Look, Rakesh,
what you saw was just--

- Was none of my business.
I get that.

I totally get it.
I misread the situation.

I thought--I thought we
had a real connection.

And clearly you've got that
connection with a lot of guys.

Nothing.

I don't know.

I thought this is
what you always wanted.

- Oh, no, it is.
It's just...

You know, it's like they're
trying to make me into

something I'm not, or...

maybe they're asking me
to be who I am.

I'm not really sure anymore.

you have to figure out.

Oh, and I was such
a jerk to Cara.
