I would like to see an episode in which another student also has the
ability to "talk" to God who gives him/her a mission to help "Joan" for
a change. Amber Tamblyn (Joan) would get her usual face time but the
story would mostly be told from the other student's point of view.
During the mission Joan and the student would get to know each other a
bit, but neither one ever knows about the other's "weekly" missions
that God sends them on.
I thought of an episode such as this because it doesn't make sense to
me that out of the billions of humans on earth, God has chosen only
"Joan Girardi of middle America, U.S.A." to do his work in this
particular manner. While we all do his work in mysterious ways, God
must have given other chosen humans throughout the world this "special"
op****tunity as well.
Has this ever been mentioned subtly or even directly in any previous
episode?
