Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Geneticist Sarah Conover (Annabella Sciorra) hopes to make medical history by being the first to clone a human being. When Monica (Roma Downey) tries to warn her of the ethical and spiritual ramifications of this undertaking, Sarah insists that her idol, Albert Einstein (Harold Gould), would have heartily approved--and indeed, she plans to use Einstein's DNA for her first experiment. A lengthy flashback to the moment that Monica's fellow angel Tess (Della Reese) touched base with the dying Einstein considerably alters the outcome of the story. Valerie Bertinelli makes her first series appearance as novice angel Gloria.
