Episode Summary
 
[x] Remove Ad
When the hospitalized Joan is diagnosed with Lyme disease, she begins to question if she's been seeing God or merely experiencing the hallucinations that can be symptomatic of her condition. Upon hearing that Joan may have been suffering from the symptoms of Lyme Disease for months, a somewhat relieved Will and Helen believe this news may explain Joan's mood swings and atypical behavior, while a concerned Adam wonders if Joan will be different upon her recovery. Meanwhile, the hospitalized Joan experiences a crisis of faith -- and considers revealing to someone close to her that she's been talking to God. In separate circumstances, Helen and Will begin to rethink their belief systems after, respectively, experiencing spiritual dreams and miraculous events.

Episode Quotes
 
Joan: Sometimes science should be seen, and not heard.
 
Joan: I thought we were going with monotheism.
Twin Girl (God): I'm impressed you know what that is.
 
Joan: I never liked any of you. (points to Goth Kid (God)) Especially you!
 
Helen: Do you want to hear what a priest said?
Will: Was it a handsome priest...?
 
Joan: Was that you in the bathroom?
Mascot (God): The point is, I'm here now. My name is I am, not I was.
 
Helen: So you've dreamed about him too?
Father Mallory: Yes. Usually, he looks like the Gorton Fishman.
 
Grace: (to Luke and Adam) Primates! We are here for Joan.
 
Joan: Why are you acting so mysterious all of a sudden?
God: I've always been mysterious. Without it, there is no faith...and we love faith.
Joan: Who's Faith?
 
Joan: You don't like boys looking at my legs.
Helen: Yeah. I'm kind of Amish that way.
 
Mr. Price: Ms. Polk, here's your chance to humiliate a faculty member.
Grace: Oh, they don't need my help.
 
Joan: I do everything that you ask. I-I-I embarrass myself and humiliate myself in really creative ways.
 
Grace: You didn't have to walk me, you could've gone with your brother.
Luke: Seemed ungentlemanly, besides, I like walking. Though this is a lot of walking...
 
Grace: Why did you give me that rock?
Luke: It's a geode.
Grace: To me it's a rock, why?
Luke: A gesture. Friendship, possibly courtship.
Grace: (looking amused) Courtship? That went out with the courset or the walkman or something.
Luke: I don't follow trends.
