Ep 3. 12 Days

"Miracle Workers" is a comedy series that takes place in Heaven, Inc., where employees solve earthly problems and answer prayers. Season 1 Episode 3 "12 Days" follows two angels, Craig and Eliza, as they try to answer a seemingly impossible prayer from a man named Sam who wants to win the heart of a girl he likes before Christmas.

As the episode kicks off, we see Sam, a shy and awkward IT guy, having a crush on his co-worker, Maria. Sam is unable to express his feelings for her, and time is running out with only 12 days till Christmas. So, he decides to pray for a miracle to happen. Meanwhile, Craig, who is in charge of answering all the prayers related to romance and Eliza, a lifelong cynic, are assigned the task of helping Sam.

Craig and Eliza analyze Sam's situation and realize that they have their work cut out for them. The prayer is so vague that they have no idea where to start from. The duo decides to spy on Sam to see if they can get any clues into what kind of girl Maria likes. They quickly realize that Sam and Maria have nothing in common. Drawing a blank, they even resort to trying to hook Sam up with other girls in the office, but that fails miserably.

As time ticks by, Craig and Eliza start to feel the pressure of making a Christmas miracle happen. Craig is an eternal optimist who believes in love, while Eliza is a realist and doesn't believe in the concept of true love. Eliza tries to convince Craig that true love doesn't exist by sharing personal anecdotes of her failed relationships, but Craig doesn't budge.

The episode takes a hilarious turn when Craig and Eliza try different approaches to make Maria fall for Sam. They try to impress her by sending her gifts anonymously, making Sam act like a knight in shining armor, and even trying to make Maria jealous by having Sam pretend to date Eliza. But, none of the plans work, and the situation becomes more and more complicated.

As the days pass by, the duo begins to realize the bigger problem behind Sam's prayer. They confront Sam, and in a heartwarming moment, Sam shares his backstory about how Christmas was always a tough time for him growing up. He only wanted to feel loved and accepted in a world that seemed against him. Craig and Eliza realized that Sam's prayer was not about Maria. It was about finding a community that would accept him - to belong somewhere, to have a family of his own, and to feel loved.

The episode concludes with a heartwarming moment that takes the viewers by surprise. The duo sets up a surprise party for Sam and invites all his office colleagues, making him the center of attention. The party brings out the real Sam, who shines and bonds with his colleagues, who accept him as he is and embrace him with open arms.

Overall, Episode 3 of "Miracle Workers" is a heartwarming tale about love, acceptance, and the power of community. It showcases the importance of understanding the real problem behind a prayer and how we often take our loved ones for granted. The episode also brings out the comedic and emotional sides of the characters. It's the perfect feel-good show to get you in the festive spirit.
