When the angels find
themselves at a posh "Books and Bachelors" luncheon to
benefit medical research, Andrew is quickly chosen to be auctioned as
an eligible bachelor. When the prominent research scientist, Beth
Popik, begins to bid on Andrew, her chief rival, Kate Calder, outbids
her and then refuses the date with Andrew, explaining that she wasn't
bidding for Andrew, she was bidding against Beth. Adam, another
"angel of death" arrives, thanks Andrew for covering for
him, and asks about the date with "the doctor." When Andrew
tells him that she refused to go to dinner, Adam explains that he MUST
go on the date. Andrew then convinces Kate to have dinner with him,
while Monica and Tess begin preparing an elegant restaurant for the
meeting. Andrew and Kate then meet for dinner in the "controlled
environment" of "Chez Tess." Monica plays waiter while
Tess cooks and although this is supposed to be a private engagement,
another patron, Norman, enters and insists of being served. During
dinner, Kate tells Andrew that she is going to die of Leukemia within
several years and that she believes in science, not in God. She
continues, stating that her research is all that matters to her and
that her goal is to find a "gene sequence" before she dies
and in that way gain immortality. Adam then interrupts the dinner and
privately tells Andrew that "the doctor" is going to die
"tonight." Andrew then reveals himself to Kate while Norman
begins to choke on his food. Kate rescues Norman but not before he
recognizes Andrew as the Angel of Death. Kate follows Norman out of
the restaurant and questions him about Andrew. Now a believer, she
returns to find that Andrew and the restaurant have disappeared. She
then runs to the safe where her research is being held and finds
Andrew waiting for her. He tells her to share her research so that
others may live. They then go to Beth's house to find her on the verge
of death due to carbon monoxide poisoning. After saving Beth's life,
Kate visits her at the hospital, tells her about her recent
discovery and suggests that they work together to find a cure.
"You can do wonderful things if you don't care who gets the
credit." Andrew then leaves Kate's life telling her he doesn't know
when she will die, but that when it's time, he'll see her for dinner.
