Meanwhile, Tess, their boss, helps the grandmother deal with the grief of losing her son, who was the father of the two brothers.

The angels slowly unveil the backstory behind the brothers' dispute. It goes back to when the elder of the siblings, Peter, had offered his younger brother, Alex, a job after high school, working at his car factory.

Their grandmother adds to the mix of emotions by revealing how Peter's father had built the car factory from scratch with his own hands, and it was devastating for him to see the business crumble because his sons could not work together.

The angels try to make both brothers see the other's perspective. Monica helps Alex understand that Peter wasn't aware of Alex’s insecurities and his need for recognition, while Andrew helps Peter to realize that he had not been treating Alex fairly. Eventually, Tess helps the family come together and understand each other's point of view, and they hold a moving burial ceremony for their father together.
