劇情大意:從<與天使有約>過去許多集數中可看出,「親情」著實是多面向探討的主題。而本集的內容再次以此為題,以夫婦離婚、失和與其對兒女帶來的傷害與影響為題,反映並諷刺當今社會許多不健全的家庭中,大人盲目地針鋒相對,互不相讓,渾然不覺對兒女的傷害。不論夫妻間關係如何,兒女都是無辜的。本集中並以舊約聖經列王記第三章中所羅門王於兩女之間智辨真母的故事為例,強調父母間永無休止的爭吵非但自私、無知,且無異於執刀分割兒女,使其苦不堪言。每個孩子都應得健全的家庭,在父母雙方的愛中安然成長!
父母離異,母親再婚的小強平日與母親同住,週末才得與父親見面。但即使離婚,他的父母每次為孩子而見面都為小事針鋒相對,面紅耳赤,互不相讓。某日,化身為小強班級導師的安德烈舉行課堂親子活動,他的父母就再度爭吵,當眾使小強難堪。某週末夜,他們又在某餐廳內當著兒子的面吵架,使小強忍無可忍,透過化身律師的蒙妮卡協助,一狀告上家事法庭,並由安德烈暫時收容同住。
法庭上,化身法官的黛絲柔聲鼓勵小強說出內心感受,並在其父母當庭再度爭吵時休庭,與兩人私下談話。黛絲以聖經之中所羅門王面對兩女爭子不可開交之際,下令取刀將孩子一劈為二。一女面不改色地贊成,另一女卻哀求所羅門,寧可捨棄孩子也不願見他受害。此子真母就此不辨自明。黛絲語重心長地說完故事,使小強的父母深感愧疚。
復庭後,小強站上證人席,聲淚俱下地傾吐內心無所適從,手足無措的痛苦與恐失親情的畏懼。父母聞而步上台前,三人相擁痛哭,全案全滿落幕。

The angels arrive at the Cherry Lanes Bowl-A-Rama where they meet Ziggy, the unhappy owner of the alley. Despite the fact that it is technically the angels "night off," Monica takes an immediate interest in helping the cantankerous woman. Ziggy, who is too proud to ask for help from anyone, refuses Monica's offers to watch the counter. At the same time, Darrell, a security guard, is led into the bowling alley blindfolded. Darrell's friends have brought him to Cherry Lanes to celebrate his birthday, unaware that Darrell and Ziggy, though once best friends, haven't spoken in years. Ziggy's resentment of Darrell is immediately apparent. As Andrew and Tess teach Monica to bowl, she's ecstatic when she knocks down one pin, but even more excited to learn she gets a second chance at the remaining pins. On another lane, Tess counsels Renee and Warren, a newly engaged couple, who argue about whom to invite to their wedding. Monica questions Ziggy about her anger toward Darrell and suggests that forgiveness would be a nice birthday gift. Contemplating this, Ziggy agrees that Darrell does have something coming and decides to make adjustments to Darrell's lane. Meanwhile, Warren suggests eloping as the solution to their planning problems and Renee is clearly hurt. Tess explains to Warren that you get married because you're in love, but you stay married because you do love. The key is to keep talking to each other. Darrell begins to bowl strike after strike. He believes this is his lucky day, but the angels are skeptical about his sudden streak. Sweeney, the snack bar waitress, tells Tess about the history of Ziggy and Darrell's relationship. One night five years ago, Ziggy expected Darrell to propose. Instead, Darrell gave Ziggy the keys to his truck. Humiliated and rejected, Ziggy told Darrell to get out and never come back. They hadn't spoken again until tonight. As the media gets wind of Darrell's ongoing perfect game, people arrive at the bowling alley to spectate. Darrell, becoming more and more arrogant, believes his fifteen minutes of fame have arrived. When Renee complains about Warren, Ziggy warns her to get out of the relationship. As Darrell attempts his final strike and perfect game, Ziggy yells, distracting him. The ball rolls into the gutter, but to the crowd's amazement, all ten pins fall! Darrell is crestfallen, as it becomes clear that Ziggy rigged the lanes. As the crowd disperses, Monica is finally able to tell Ziggy what she'd been trying to all along -- Darrell has lung cancer. While trying to maintain her callous demeanor, Ziggy is clearly affected by the news. She tries to apologize to Darrell, but he walks out. Monica then finds Ziggy weeping and reveals that she's an angel from God, and that Ziggy can learn a lesson from bowling -- you always get a second chance to make it right. People who love each other, like Ziggy and Darrell, hurt each other. What matters is the choice you make after the hurt happens. God will always give you a second chance to love. Inspired, Ziggy convinces Warren and Renee to reunite. Darrell returns and Ziggy apologizes and pledges to stick by him; Darrell insists they be more than buddies this time. Darrell and Ziggy walk out together as the Angels continue their "night off."
