Making some eggs.

Yeah, makin' some eggs.

What do you see?

Hey.

She ruined the surprise.

What could she be doing?

Good morning.

I think somebody misses you.

That 'cause it's your big day?

Yeah, it is.

Good morning.

Thank you letting Mommy sleep.

You excited?

Should we tell her

what else we're making?

- Bacon. Yeah.

- Oh.

You're making, did

you cook the bacon?

- All by herself.

- Chef.

Amen.

Raised in the likeness

of his resurrection,

you are hereby recognized

before the Father,

the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Gonna tear it all down

Wait for the sunrise

Wait for the sunrise

Pleasure, anytime, enjoy.

Hello Minister.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Hi ladies!

Thank you.

Hi.

You're welcome.

Enjoy, eat, please.

Sarah.

I didn't mean to startle you.

As you were.

I'm not here to chastise.

That was a lovely

ceremony today.

A long time coming.

Well, after all the occasions

that Brown's had to be there

for other people's children,

yes, it was quite special.

Oh, I wanted to give you this.

It's for Skya, and

also for your house.

The voice of the Holy Spirit.

Wow.

I didn't expect you...

Thank you.

And I also wanted

to ask about-

Fine. Thank you,

everything's fine.

Good.

Glad to hear it.

I realized later

that I must have caught

her in a good mood

or a moment of

weakness or something

because...

Hoo!

He let his faith fall in that which

at least is faithful also in much.

Just replace "he" with "she"

and "is faithful" with

"has her sister stand

up to her bitchy self

once in her G-D life."

Well done.

We ran out of mac and

cheese almost immediately.

May not have been

as good as gold,

- but it was surely good enough.

- Surely good enough.

I'm up.

Hey.

Think it's a Magetto

Fire Road kinda night?

Honey.

What is it?

The sun.

It's okay.

Take your time.

I can't, I can't believe.

He had it.

It happened, but...

But it did.

Bram, what happened?

Something wonderful.

I believe...

I believe that...

that God almighty Himself,

He appeared to me.

Tonight.

In the most literal sense.

Moses and the burning bush.

He, He was here.

But...

What...

Did he speak to you?

Oh, Sarah, it was,

it was wonderful.

I was in bed,

only it was a dream.

It was, but it was more present,

more nearer than anything

I'd ever experienced.

He appeared over me

but He was...

He was everywhere.

There was, there was light.

There was so much light.

Then He...

What?

He spoke.

His voice was,

it was in me.

Through me.

And...

I don't know how else to say it,

but he said...

What?

He said that there was

something coming for us.

For me.

And that soon,

He would be calling upon us.

That would be an act

of great importance.

And then I...

I would be His right hand.

Let's pray.

Yes.

Yes.

- Amen.

- Amen.

- Goodbye.

- Bye.

- Goodbye.

- Bye Daddy.

Hey.

Just be in touch, okay?

Anything happens.

I'm not gonna say

anything to anyone.

To Uriel.

I just, I think we should

keep this to ourselves

until we have the whole picture.

Of course.

Hi there.

Sorry for just

showing up like this,

but I noticed yesterday

you had some sort

of baby party here,

and I wanted to contribute.

- Thank you.

- Oh, you're very welcome.

We made a whole batch this

morning, so it's not any trouble.

- We?

- My...

Well, Joseph and I.

Right.

- I'm sorry-

- You know what actually,

I'm on my way out.

Sorry.

Right, well um, another time.

Wasn't that just the

most gorgeous ceremony

the other day?

Mm-hmm.

You sure I can't get you one?

Mom.

So what else is new?

Nothing big.

Oh wow.

That's Sam Taylor's mom.

What was her name?

- Victoria.

- Right.

So sad.

There were always

rumors you know.

What do you mean?

Well, it...

Jacob was odd.

- Yeah, the brother.

- Yeah.

He never acted like a,

well, like a normal adult.

Don't get me wrong.

He wasn't 30 years old,

wearing diapers,

coloring on walls or

anything like that.

He was just odd.

You remember the

one family festival?

Yeah, of course.

There were stories about

a dinner party.

Some of the things your

husband did at his worst,

they can't even compare.

That's what made

it so unfortunate.

I thought.

For Victoria, and then

of course for Sam.

The fact that the

signs were all there,

adding up and up and up,

and Victoria just

thought what she thought.

Didn't matter.

Well, maybe if she'd

had her eyes open

she'd still be with us.

Sarah, I know Skya is the end

of a long road for you and Bram,

but all things considered,

your life is still very blessed.

I know that.

And others don't, and that's

why they get into trouble.

Sarah, when Victoria

was working-

Signals were being sent

to her day after day

and she did nothing.

Sometimes it isn't

as easy as that.

Yes, it is.

And I'm sorry, but having a son

who's unbalanced

is not worse than

having to drive yourself

to the hospital after

your third miscarriage

because your husband is too drunk

to get himself off the couch.

Maybe.

Maybe if Victoria Tanner had

just taken a moment to think.

Maybe Sam wouldn't have found her

face down in the swimming pool

with a knife in her back.

Hey.

Hey, could you give us a hand?

Sure, gimme one sec.

It was all I could do

to keep quiet today.

It was the same for me.

I just, I feel so full.

I used it.

Today.

Today is a special day,

my brothers and sisters.

Special because you

are here with me,

and I with you.

And because we

are here together,

we know we are on

the right path.

Know it.

And yet, there are moments,

past and future,

that we question that.

Why?

Because of an inherent weakness?

No.

Because of an inherent humanity.

A man is lost in the woods.

What keeps him trudging on?

Faith.

A man suffers terrible injury.

What keeps him from succumbing?

Faith.

A man's family is torn from him

long before their time.

What raises him from his bed

each and every morning?

Faith.

Yes.

Maintain your faith

by embracing your

inherent humanity

even in the face of

apparent hopelessness,

because when you put

your faith in Lord God,

sooner or later you

will be rewarded.

Your faith will

become certainty,

because He is here

with us always.

We are never alone.

- I love you.

- I love you.

Honey, what's going on?

Bram, tell me...

Hey.

Sorry.

I was trying not to

have that happen.

Are you okay?

I didn't wanna come here again.

I didn't wanna come

here in the first place.

It's fine, taking a

step was my decision.

We've covered that.

I know that my behavior

has been irregular,

but I've told you over and over

that there are some

changes, and...

I have to work through

them on my own.

So, I just...

- I need some time.

- You've had time.

- Weeks.

- Then I need more time I guess.

Sarah, how does

that make you feel?

Frustrated.

I feel like he's

keeping secrets.

Secrets he doesn't

have to be keeping

because I'm here for him

through anything.

Bramwell, are you hearing

what Sarah's saying?
