While Tess, Monica,
Andrew and Rafael vacation at the beach, Rafael and Monica find a
message in a bottle from a boy named Scooter Fisher. Tess gives them
the option of helping the boy and both Monica and Rafael set out to
find Scooter in the neighboring town, Pacific Falls. While Andrew
stays with Tess to help repair her ailing Cadillac, Rafael and Monica
begin their search at a local diner. As they meet and question Teresa,
Larry and Leo, no one seems to have heard of Scooter Fisher. Dennis, a
desperate man, pulls a gun when they approach him and Rafael catches
the bullet when the gun fires. Benjamin Parker, a local news anchor
gains an interview with Rafael and suddenly Pacific Falls is being
"invaded" by angels. Parker, skeptical, then sets out to
uncover the scam. Monica then rescues a man at a muffler shop as his
hydraulic lift fails and Rafael pulls a man out of a tool and die shop
after an explosion. When Parker questions Leo, the owner of the
muffler shop, about his angel encounter, we see his watch inscribed
with the name Scooter. Leo tells him the angels are looking for
Scooter Fisher and Parker goes on the air to let the angels know his
identity. The two young angels then return to Tess who tells them the
truth behind Scooter's note 40 years earlier; Scooters mother had
accidentally killed his father in an attempt to stop his abuse. Monica
and Rafael then try to convince the skeptical Benjamin to see his
mother in prison. Benjamin overcomes his anger and learns the truth
when he visits his dying mother in prison. He forgives his mother and
agrees to revisit their "place" at the ocean where both cast
their bottles upon the water. Benjamin writes "Thank You,
God" and throws the bottle out to sea as the angels exit in their
repaired Cadillac.
