Miracles - E06

The Hand of God
First Aired: Monday March 31, 2003

Someone is killing people that say the phrase "God is Nowhere" in blood. When Paul finds that Alva has been keeping information on these people from him, he begins to track them down.

The episode begins with a teenage boy seemingly talking to himself before killing a woman. It turns out that the woman is one of the people that saw "God is Nowhere" and that she had dreamed about Paul Callen. The cops come looking for Paul after finding his name and picture drawn in her personal effects. This leads Paul to break into Keels office to see the full files on the hemography people. He finds out that all of the people Alva has interviewed had dreamed about Paul and his life years before. After telling Evelyn this, he goes to Denver to find the next woman. He gets there, is arrested by the cops alerted by Evelyn, and the boy girls the woman before Paul can contact her. Alva shows up and reveals to Paul about what made him begin his searching; he heard his mothers voice in some bird calls a year after she had died. He gives Paul the last known address of the last person. Getting their, Paul is able to stop the boy from killing the man. However, in the cop car, the boy tells Paul he had seen "God is Now Here" as he had as well as Tommy. He says God wanted him to kill the nine people who had seen the message wrong, because they will bring horrible things. In the police station, the boy then kills himself after taking an officiers gun. The episode ends with Paul not telling Alva the truth, but still will help the organization.

It is really sad that this was the last episode because it really starts to show the focus of what the main storyline is and man, is it ever a stunning revealation. Was it really God? If so, what could these people have possibly done if they lived? I am beginning to think that the Darkness is using Tommy, or a derivation thereof, to sway Paul. This was a very engaging story with a good uppercut blow at the end. Skeet's acting was amazing as well. Such a shame.

Score: 9.2 / 10
