Portlandia season 7 episode 10, titled "Misunderstood Miracles," takes viewers on a comical journey into the world of miracle healers. The episode begins with Fred and Carrie surveying the Portland streetscape and discussing the latest local fad - a woman who claims to be a miracle healer. They are skeptical of her abilities but decide to check her out anyway.

Upon arriving at the healing center, Fred and Carrie are greeted by a host of odd characters, including a man who insists he's been cured of his love for pizza and a woman who believes the healer cured her addiction to artisanal butter. The healer herself is a quirky figure, wearing a flowing dress and speaking in a soothing, mystical voice.

Fred and Carrie observe as the healing begins, but soon become frustrated with the ambiguity of the process and the seemingly arbitrary nature of the miracles. They try to leave, but are persuaded to stay by one of the healer's devotees, who insists that they just need to "believe."

As the episode unfolds, Fred and Carrie become increasingly drawn into the world of miracle healing, experimenting with various ailments to see if they can be cured. They start to feel a sense of camaraderie with the other devotees and even begin to believe in the healer's powers.

However, things take a turn when the healer reveals that she is actually a fraud and that all of the cures were mere placebos. The devotees are outraged, but Fred and Carrie come to a realization that the real miracle was the sense of community and shared experience that they had all created.

The episode's witty satire exposes the ridiculousness of the miracle healing industry while also plumbing the depths of human need for connection and belonging. With its trademark blend of surreal humor and pointed social commentary, "Misunderstood Miracles" is a standout episode of Portlandia's seventh season.
