The Road to Damascus

That was a lot to take in.  Here's what we learned on God Friended Me Season 1 Episode 19: Simon Hayes isn't behind the God Account, Henry Chase is our number one suspect again, and Pria just deleted a project that could potentially help save the world from seismic catastrophes.  No big deal.  Oh, and Rakesh and Cara are both jobless.

The Dragon Slayer

If only all humans were as good as Miles.  Week by week, this series restores my faith in humanity.  Most of God Friended Me Season 1 Episode 17 focused on Miles' friend suggestion, Ben Evans, a homeless man whose run of bad luck was getting the best of him.
