In Highway to Heaven season 3 episode 5, titled "That's Our Dad," Jonathan and Mark come across a group of three siblings - twins Lisa and Jeffrey and their younger brother David - who are struggling to make ends meet after their father passed away. The children's mother abandoned them years earlier and their dad, who was a single parent, did everything he could to give them a good life.
The siblings are worried about what will happen to them now that their dad is gone and they have no one left to care for them. Lisa and Jeffrey work multiple jobs to try and keep a roof over their heads and put food on the table, while David often has to fend for himself during the day. But things start to look up when Jonathan and Mark step in to help.
Not only do the two angels assist the children in finding a new place to live, but they also help Lisa and Jeffrey get better jobs that pay more money so they can afford to take care of themselves and their brother. Jonathan and Mark then help the children to find a way to honor their father's memory, which brings the siblings closer together and helps them to heal from their loss.
Throughout the episode, Jonathan and Mark also have to contend with a greedy landlord who wants to kick the siblings out of their apartment, and a social worker who isn't convinced that they are capable of taking care of themselves. But with their faith and determination, the children prove that they can handle anything that comes their way.
