In catching up with Jacob Hood and Rachel Young, we find them both in Montana testing a so-called miracle, but not before Hood interrupts Rachel on a personal day. We find her spending time with a male friend, but we never find out who he is. All we see is a pair of his shoes while he whistles in the shower in the background.
When a child seems to have been cured of his kidney cancer, Hood knows something is going on and it isn’t a miracle. There’s no such thing as a miracle in his eyes given the fact that his wife asked for a miracle and never got one before she died of cancer.
The boy in question seems to have been cured after drinking water from a local spring which came up during a huge flood. This spring has in turn brought about a flood of people to try the water. It’s a circus-like atmosphere which reminded me of the miracle water episode on USA Network’s Monk not so long ago.

Although I don’t know a whole lot about water contaminants, I knew it was going to be something unusual — it just had to be something out of the ordinary, but I never would have guessed heavy water would be the issue. That ice cube test was very cool, although I wish I had a freezer which could make ice cubes in five minutes like the one on the show.
The writers are doing a better job of making the victims sympathetic. The last two episodes, in particular, have had very good, very believable characters and I feel like the show does well when good characters are introduced.
I’d like to see more of Rachel and her new boyfriend or whatever he is to her. It’s nice to know that she has some life outside of working with Hood.
