* UnfinishedBusiness: Has Louie being hit by a car after taking pictures proving that a judge is taking bribes. He also finds out that his wife is pregnant before this. At the Pearly GatesGates, he convinces the angels to let him cut the line and go back. They agree but, in a rush, forget to administer an injection that would erase any memory of past life. He is reborn into a new baby but without any memories. Later he ends up meeting a girl, Miranda, and goes to meet her mother and her mother's boyfriend. Then memories start flashing back, and he remembers that her mother is his widow, and her daughter is ''his'' daughter, and her mother's boyfriend is his best friend. HilarityEnsues when he tries to hit on his widow while refusing advances from his daughter. Eventually, he's able to complete his business by publicly exposing the corrupt judge. He ends up hitting his head and ends up in a hospital, allowing an angel, dressed as male nurse, to administer the memory-wiping injection. He wakes up remembering everything up to the moment when his old memories came back, which was kissing Miranda (who is now simply his LoveInterest). In the end, Phillip marries Corrine and Alex admits he loves Miranda.
