William Windom guest stars as Reverend Stearns, an otherwise above-board minister who has let his personal feelings nearly ruin his life. Because his daughter Marsha (Colleen Maloney) has engaged in an extramarital affair that resulted in an out-of-wedlock baby, Stearns refuses to extend either help or compassion to Marsha now that she is terminally ill. Clearly, this is a matter requiring the immediate attention (and compassion) of probationary angel Jonathan Smith (Michael Landon).
