內容大意：
曾是知名日間連續劇演員的約爾瑞汀，受木橋學院聘任為客座教授，並為社區募款活動演出莎翁戲劇。約爾的兒子馬修相當崇拜父親，對戲劇也充滿熱情。某晚，馬修來到校內劇院，竟發現父親與一名女學生擁吻，父子關係出現裂痕。約爾的妻子莎莉又在此時於家中跌倒撞擊到頭部，引起嚴重血腫。莎莉是否會有起色？約爾與馬修父子倆能否言和？且看三位天使們從中協助，使一切最終能皆大歡喜。

編按／譯者劉鴻輝表示：「這一集翻譯起來有些困難，劇中有多處莎士比亞戲劇對白，正規洗練，時而鏗鏘有力，時而華麗的詞藻造成翻譯上很大的挑戰。原文劇名The Quality of Mercy出自莎翁戲劇＜威尼斯商人＞(The Merchant of Venice)。此集中有出自＜殉情記＞（即＜羅密歐與茱麗葉＞）、＜馬克白＞、＜亨利五世＞、＜暴風雨＞、＜哈姆雷特＞等經典莎翁名劇的對白，編導將這些對白插入適切的情境中，用心與巧思清楚可見。蒙妮卡在劇末現身開導人時，所說的第一段話也是＜威尼斯商人＞的對白。為了與充滿莎翁氣息的內容對應，我也以他知名喜劇為本集命名，即你所見的＜皆大歡喜＞（All’s Well That Ends Well）。黛絲在劇末也引用這劇名，形容美好的結局。」

Joel Redding is a former soap-opera star who is coming to terms with middle age and life after television. He, his wife, Sally and son, Marshall have moved to a small town trying to regain a semblance of normal family life. While helping with a college theatre's fund raiser, Monica, Tess, and Andrew witness tension between Joel, the play's director and Marshall, the play's star. Matters are further complicated when the aging actor initiates an affair with one of his teenage ingenues. During one of Joel's extracurricular trysts, Sally slips while hanging a picture and seriously injures herself. Marshall finds his mother, calls for help, and gets her to the hospital. After authorizing the doctor to perform a risky surgical procedure, the teen rails at Joel when he finally returns from his rendezvous. Tess reveals herself to the guilt-ridden husband, admonishing him to be faithful to his wife and son. Back at the theatre, Joel tries to apologize to his son and admits he didn't quit the soap opera but was fired because of his age. Marshall is still reluctant to forgive until Monica's revelation that he must see his father as a man, rather than as a hero to be worshipped. Sally's surgery is successful, the production is a triumph, and the family is reunited.

While working at the post office, Monica meets Max, who is responsible for handling "dead" letters addressed to Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and God. A Holocaust survivor, Max answers children's letters to God by telling them there is no God and not to place their faith in a fantasy. One little girl, Tanya Brenner, continues sending God letters, even though Max only answered the first one and ignored the rest. Andrew, who has met the child, and Monica entice Tess to ask God if they can read the letters. After receiving permission, they learn that Tanya's father is very ill and that his girlfriend, Sandy has been abusing the girl. Monica is outraged and wants to help, but Tess reminds her that Max, not Tanya is her assignment. Taking matters into her own hands, Monica arranges for Max to see a drunken Sandy hit the girl. Following this encounter, Max follows her home, where her dying father beseeches the postal worker to find Tanya a new home. Shaken, Max runs away. When he doesn't show up for work the next day, Monica goes to visit him. Tanya has disappeared and Max is wracked with guilt.

The angel reveals herself and gently persuades him to do something. He decides to look for the girl, finding her at her late father's apartment. While treating Tanya to a meal at the diner, Max is spotted by policemen and arrested for suspicion of kidnapping. Monica visits a despondent Max in jail, informing him that men, not God were responsible for the Holocaust. When Andrew emerges on the scene, Max remembers seeing him at the Auschwitz barracks in 1944. The Angel of Death reminds Max of his father's faith, revealing that he died on his feet praising God and asking Him to walk with his son. Overcome by memories, the postal worker weeps. Meanwhile, Tess persuades the diner owner to tell the police Max did not abduct Tanya but was trying to help her. Once that matter is cleared up, Max applies to be her foster father, so the two of them can become a family. As Monica, Tess, and Andrew watch unseen, Max opens a mysterious package that contains a pair of children's shoes--his own--with the carved inscription "Lieber Gott," German for "Dear God."

Don Dudley：唐德利
Mrs. Cooper：古柏太太
Craig Cooper：克雷古柏
Brian：伯恩

在第二季第一集『挑撥離間』出現過的邪惡天使凱瑟琳，本集中化身為某失蹤兒童中心調查員范克察普奈的女友，表面上溫柔體貼，實際上暗中利用范克15年前未曾尋獲失蹤兒童伯恩葛遜的愧疚感，讓范克飽受兒童厲聲指責或哭喊求救的幻象與惡夢陰魂不散地糾纏，直將他逼向盡頭。受派至此失蹤兒童中心協助的三位天使們，見范克受凱瑟琳這般戲弄、陷害，會如何幫助范克擺脫糾纏，重拾希望，並擊退狡黠多端，蛇蠍心腸的凱瑟琳？

Monica and Tess are assigned to Detective BOB CHAMPNESS (Bill Nunn) at the Center for Missing Children. Champness is very good at this job, but is haunted by his failures: the children who have died or have simply never been found. Andrew, the Angel-of-Death, is also taking his shift at the center. Andrew is intrigued by computers, and shows Monica how computer simulated age progression works.

Monica discovers that KATHLEEN (Jasmine Guy), a Dark Angel, is Bob's new girl friend, and is pushing Bob to the breaking point. She distracts him from his cases and undermines all the good he has done for missing children, pushing him close to quitting his job. In a dueling revelation scene, Monica defeats Kathleen and brings Bob back from the influence of evil. Then, with the help of Andrew's age progression expertise, Monica helps Bob solve a 15 year old missing child case.

聖經重點經節：人為朋友捨命，人的愛心就沒比這個更大的。（約15：13）

As Monica studies a sleeping man in a run-down apartment, Tess appears and informs her she's in the wrong place--801 Cedar in Jacksonville, Florida rather than Jacksonville, Illinois. After using her angelic powers to tidy the apartment, Monica stoops to pick up a bag under the bed when the police burst in. The bag she's holding is full of cocaine, and the police arrest her. During interrogation, her claim that she's an angel makes her a candidate for a mental hospital. At her arraignment, Monica alone can see Sam, the angel from special services. He tells her the simple mistake of going to the wrong address has set events in motion that have to play out, but no matter what happens God will never leave nor forsake her. Monica is assigned a court-appointed attorney, Jake Stone, a Vietnam veteran and hardened cynic. He tries to convince her to plead guilty but mentally ill. She refuses, however, and insists on a competency hearing. In the meantime, Monica is remanded to a psychiatric hospital where she shares a room with Claire, who also claims to be an angel but keeps repeating the phrase, "May Day." At the hearing, Jake produces Terry Hayman, the woman from Jacksonville, Illinois that Monica was supposed to help. Terry describes her encounter with Tess, which corroborates Monica's story. The judge declares her competent to stand trial, but anxious to avoid placing angels on trial is ready to dismiss charges based on a legal technicality. A skeptical Jake tells her a real angel would resemble Claire, whom he met in Vietnam. During the fall of Saigon, Jake attempted to rescue a little girl, May Ling, nicknamed "May Day." As he helicoptered away, the girl fell from his grasp but was rescued by Claire. Realizing that Claire is indeed an angel, Monica asks to return to the mental hospital. There, Monica helps Claire remember who she is. In turn, the newly restored angel helps Jake resolve his anger toward God. Returning to 801 Cedar Street, Monica and Tess learn that the building is going to become a home for orphans and child survivors of trauma and run by Executive Director May Ling Gustafson.

Club Indigo, once St. Louis' premier blues and jazz club, has fallen hard times. Its owner, SAM (Hal Linden), is getting on and his grandson ZACH (Geoffrey Nauffts) arrives to convince his grandfather to sell the club and move into a nursing home. Sam resists. He's always told Zach that "The Countess" told him "do nothing, 'til you hear from me" and he's sticking to those words. Zach assumes that Sam has embroidered the past greatness of the club, and that he's made up stories of all the jazz greats who played there and were friends. Especially that story about "The Countess"--the mysterious singer who arrived in the sixties and put the club back on the map.

Whether these stories are true or not, it's apparent that Sam should really be in a nursing home--he's losing his memory as well as his physical well-being. But Sam has always had an open-mic night on Mondays, and despite his grandson's protests, proceeds to hire Monica to M.C. Monday's open-mic performance. When we see that Andrew, the Angel-of-Death, is a border in Sam's basement, we sense that Monday's open-mic night might be his last. Zach tricks Sam into signing a power of attorney agreement so that he can do what he thinks is best for his grandfather. But then, to Zach's astonishment, the singer Al Jarreau shows up--Sam's stories were all true, including the one about "The Countess".

We see in a flashback that "The Countess" was actually Tess. The final open-mic night is a triumph: a packed house gets to hear music and tributes to Sam from B.B. King, Dr. John, and Al Hirt. And then "The Countess" makes a return appearance. She brings down the house, as Sam passes away. Zach reconsiders selling Club Indigo; instead he'll transform it to The Sam Brown Blues Museum.

本集為第一季第10集『榮光奏鳴曲』續集。平安夜經歷奇蹟後，聖誕節當日會眾議論紛紛，對於奇蹟代表的意義眾說紛紜，莫衷一是。有人認為是上帝的恩賜，有人認為神的審判將至。與哥哥韋恩共同見證奇蹟的喬伊，拾得天使身邊的白鴿掉落的羽毛，不慎被一名自稱牧師的陌生人查理拿走。看似道貌岸然，一副「牧師本色」的查理，很快贏得會眾的心，即將正式就任牧師。但查理究竟是誰？其真面目為何？黛絲與蒙妮卡要如何幫助會眾了解聖誕奇蹟真正的意義？
The sequel to the first season's Christmas episode "Fear Not", "The Feather" continues the story of a little church's congregation now that they've seen Monica reveal herself in all her glory. Awed, trying to figure out what it all means, the congregation is susceptible to CHARLES, a con artist posing as a preacher. He seizes a feather which fell from Monica's dove and holds it up to the congregation as physical proof of the miracle. He's diverting piles of donation offerings into his own pockets when he's confronted by WAYNE (Randy Travis)--who turns out to be his brother. Years ago, Charles and Wayne ran the preacher scam together; Wayne is now a reformed man and he's determined to stop Charles. The issue is brought to a head when Joey, who's been ministering to a crack baby that was left in the church, brings the infant to Charles for a healing. Charles can't do it, of course, but Monica reveals herself again and reminds the congregation that they worshipped a feather instead of a King and their need for fame deafened them to the cries of a little baby. Charles is humbled and the congregation is once again put on the right track.

207. 大難當前 (The Big Bang)

一間即將關閉的銀行，一名婚姻觸礁、極其勢利的總經理，與手下一群即將失業的員工。其中一名身懷六甲，生產在即的孕婦。一名無法存支票，與她相持不下的客戶。眾人如往常般工作，進行每日事務，渾然不知危機迫近，大難當前…

++加入"與天使有約"粉絲團++

全球股市今天都因義大利債務問題狂跌，正巧今晚《與天始有約》播出主題《大難當前》，講的就是一個銀行崩坍的故事。

這一集的開場相當精彩，搶匪在銀行挾持人質那一整段，十分緊張、扣人心絃，演員眼神的交會、搶匪與人質間的互動．．．，和電影院的動作片相比都毫不遜色。

先來看看這段導演的長鏡頭，長達40秒的段落(1’01”~1’41”)

先是Monica走進銀行，在銀行家的父親照片前停留，這張照片預告了對隨後劇情的重要性，包括銀行家的作風、保險箱等都與他有關。之後Monica經過一位孕婦職員的櫃台，鏡頭稍停留，我們看到一位顧客臨櫃，這兩人都是之後的重點人物；鏡頭再移動到排隊的Monica，剛好帶過排在她前面、全劇的關鍵人物，搶匪Max，這時他並未顯露身份。然後是一段Monica和Tess的對話，說明她們進入銀行的原意。

單論導演的場面調度就很有可看性，本集內容關於「信心」的探討也十分精彩，

首先，弱者才倚靠虛幻的信心嗎？你等待事情發生？還是使事情發生？

影片後段，再度有這樣的對話，主角雖口說什麼都不信，卻是寧可選擇相信財富權勢，甚至將死。

和搶匪也有一段信心的對話：

信心的獎賞，就是看見所信的事。最後黛絲和搶匪關於誰是宗教狂的對話真是太有趣了！

最後要特別推薦這一段最動人的演出：Monica和銀行家的對手戲，銀行家從聽到她是天使呵呵的笑著，到回想起父親睡前對他誦讀的詩句，不禁眼框泛淚到潰堤，極為感人!令人動容，喜愛戲劇的朋友，這段絕對是表演課的最佳教材。

看到全片最後一段時，我心中不禁暗叫：「沒看到這集《與天使有約》真的是一種損失！」

比較可惜的是影片最後並沒有交代搶匪部份，想必是被繩之以法，但片中天崩地裂的崩塌場面、以及全片主題「信心」的探討，都非常發人深省，提醒我們到底人內心的安全感是來自銀行的存摺多寡？是踩在別人之上成就自己？還是應該有更超越的信心帶我們走過每一天。
