劇情大意:
第三季『遣產啟示』中出現過的和解天使菲爾本集中再度現身,使長年失和的父子言和。本集中<與天使有約>再度探討親情議題,剖析父子關係。咱們中國人說「父嚴母慈」。父親一貫的形象總是嚴肅,冷峻,不擅表達對兒女的情感。然而,對兒女的愛是不可否定的。本集內容與第四季同樣以父子關係為主題的『父子情結』頗有異曲同工之妙。

經營家族企業有成的車商班曼卓與妻兒們即將慶祝35週年結婚紀念日的同時,接到離家六年的小兒子巴迪的來電,表示想回家並有事宣布。對於巴迪不願參與家族事業而離家出走,班一直耿耿於懷,一提到巴迪仍憤怒難平。不料,在結婚紀念日晚宴上,全家獲知巴迪在歸途上車禍喪生,頓時陷入愁雲慘霧。而巴迪究竟有什麼事要向大家宣布?班對巴迪的態度是否會因此改變?長年來的父子心結能否化解?

On their 35th wedding anniversary, Ben and Sylvia Mangione, owners of a car dealership, host a huge sale. Monica and Tess are on hand to help the Mangione family, and Phil, the angel of reconciliation, will assist them, if the perennially late angel ever arrives. Mangione Auto World is a family business, with daughters Ellen and Dee Dee and Ellen's husband Frankie all working there. But one of the children, Buddy, moved to California several years ago, refusing to take over the family business, much to Ben's chagrin. During the sale, Buddy calls to say he is returning for the anniversary with a big announcement to make. Frank is upset that Buddy is returning because he thinks it may spoil his chances for taking over the dealership. Indeed, Ben hopes Buddy is returning to take over the dealership. At the anniversary party Tess plays with the band, filling in for the still tardy Phil, while Monica caters the event. Soon, however, the police show up to let the family know that Buddy has been killed in a car crash. Ben and Frank are called to identify Buddy's remains but, since the corpse has been badly burned, they identify his personal effects. Rather than grieve, the family argues over Buddy's funeral arrangements. Ben insists on returning to work, where he meets Sharon, a young woman claiming to be Buddy's wife. The family thinks this must be Buddy's big surprise, but is upset when Sharon wants to have the body cremated. Monica helps them strike a bargain -- Buddy will be buried if Sharon performs the eulogy at the service. Meanwhile, Andrew finds Phil and offers to give him a lift into town. They are further detained when the car overheats, but are offered help by a hitchhiker who is eagerly trying to get to town. They offer him a lift. At the funeral, Sharon delivers the eulogy, recalling a touching memory about how Buddy saved the life of a beached whale. Before she can finish, though, the hitchhiker arrives. It's Buddy! The family is shocked to see him alive and he explains how his car was stolen and he had to hitchhike into town. Rather than rejoice that his son is alive, Ben wants to know if Buddy is ready to take over the business. Buddy says 'no,' and a furious Ben returns to the dealership where Monica is waiting for him. Monica reveals that she is an angel and takes him back to the funeral parlor where she finishes the eulogy. The eulogy reveals the big surprise, that Buddy has cancer and will soon die. Phil finally arrives to tell a shocked Ben that God wants him to stop keeping such a tight hold on his family. Phil points out that many fathers wish they could have the gift that Ben has: the chance to spend one more hour with his son, to tell him all of the things he wished he had said when he was alive. Buddy arrives at the funeral parlor, and Ben embraces his son, asking for forgiveness and expressing his love.
