Miles to Go Before I Sleep
The angels tend to patients in the hospital, some whom are dying, some who have lost hope, and those who have faith they will get better., In the opening episode of Touched by an Angel’s fifth season, amiable Angel of Death Andrew (John Dye) promises a dying hospital patient to help restore the faith of someone else at death’s door. The identity of that person can be found in a missing Bible, which Andrew searches for with the help of Monica (Roma Downey). At the same time, the angels must root out the well-meaning but misguided mortal who has been posing as the Angel of Death, providing false hope to a number of terminal patients. Without giving away the ending, it can be noted that among the episode’s guest stars are such reliable performers as Chad Lowe, Margot Kidder and Carrie Snodgress., The angels make good on a promise that Andrew made to a dying man—which involves uncovering the identity of a hospital employee posing as the angel of death, as well as restoring the faith of several terminal patients. Arthur: Chad Lowe. Rita: Margot Kidder.
