Arnold Bristow regains consciousness after a hit-and-run accident with some rather startling revelations. Was it really who he says it was driving the car that hit him? Was what the driver shouted at him of such spiritual significance? Was the incident simply a reminder that he should be going out into the world to put to use a certain - hitherto unused - gift?

When Lily happens upon an ex-mayor searching for his lost love, an opera singer, she immediately sees it as an excellent opportunity for Arnold to put his new gift of clairvoyance to good use.
