  Episode Summary  
Joan and Grace fear the worst when, on the heels of failed attempts to reconnect with Joan, the emotionally fragile Adam goes missing during a hike. Despite Grace's attempts to foster a more comfortable rapport between her friends, Joan is intent on hurting Adam with her rebuffs, which she regrets when it appears that his life may be in danger. Meanwhile, Helen is shocked when a priest tells her that the man who raped her 25 years ago would like her to visit his deathbed so he may apologize. Also, Luke is dismayed and intrigued when he learns that Friedman has been getting stoned.

  Episode Quotes  
Kevin: Do you want some brotherly advice?
Joan: No thank you, Sir Dumped-A-Lot.
 
Old Lady (God): The Persians make the most beautiful rugs in the world. Not that I play favorites.
 
Will: You should take a break every now and then unwind.
Luke: No, I actually like the winding better.

Grace: Is time.
Joan: Right. I knew that. You explain it a lot.
Grace: So do you get it now?
Joan: No.
 
God: I know how hard this was for you. But now you know how much more you're capable of.
Joan: Why does that scare me?
God: 'Cause you know that everyday you'll face things that you can't foresee. You know you can't avoid 'em. You just have to adapt , keep going.
 
Joan: I'm gonna look like a total dork knitting, no offense.
God: You have important work ahead of you. It requires work and understanding.
Joan: What work?
(The bus pulls up)
Joan: It was a simple question.
God: Finish the scarf, Joan.
Joan: But I don't even know where it is anymore. Ugh!
 
(Luke is stoned. He panics and rushes toward the window, hitting it and falling backward onto the floor. Friedman leans over him. He looks very concerned)
Luke: What do you like about this (marijuana), Friedman?
Friedman: Nothing anymore.
