Meaningful Survival

S1, E5: When members of the church reach out for prayers for their terminally ill child, Grace (Merle Dandridge, "The Night Shift") and the Bishop (Keith David, "Community") find themselves with opposing views on the value of hope and the responsibilities of a pastor. Lady Mae (Lynn Whitfield, "The Josephine Baker Story") devises a plan to mend fences between the Bishop and Deacon Sykes (Jen Harper, "Kill the Messenger") while Kerissa (Kim Hawthorne, "Rake"), pushed to her limit with Jacob's (Lamman Rucker, "Meet the Browns") infidelities, takes explosive action without a plan -- with unintended consequences for both she and Jacob's careers. Kevin (Tye White, "The People v. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story") takes another step toward exploring his sexuality in the face of news about Charity's (Deborah Joy Winans, "Whitney") pregnancy.
