God asks Joan to be on the lookout for people needing help and she ends up babysitting for an over-stressed waitress struggling with her job, a death-obsessed child and night-school. Meanwhile Will is dealing with the fall-out from a possible case of police brutality, Helen talks to a priest about grieving, and Joan learns why Adam hates November.

God asks Joan to ace her history test - on Joan of Arc. In doing so, Joan is accused of cheating (she's usually a C student) and Grace starts a revolution on her behalf. Meanwhile, the family go to a counselor as Will's job is becoming increasingly stressful.
