The Jewish Supporters of Christ realize they have no black people, and start knocking on different doors. A Minister and a Hebrew-Israelite figure out that they knew, and loved, each other in the past. Meanwhile, Canada becomes a belligerent superpower while the U.S.A. chills out and learns how to love. Why do we make radical life changes, and does anything change?
