I've retired/archived the old, far less detailed Timeline on account of it not being very useful and there being no reason to be redundant.  So now there's only this!  Here I've tried to catalog every last (canonical) Dyeland story scene as well as give some hint on when plot points from TBAA episodes figured in.  If you want just a list of stories, you can go to the Story Index.  Please note: I am recapping stories here so spoilers abound.  I don't actually remember any of the stories well enough to know, off the top of my head, on what day particular things happened.  So... I'm doing these as I reread the stories.  Therefore, stories I've re-read recently have very detailed entries.  Entries for stories I've not read in years remain vague until I can re-read them.

God bless,

BC        1st Century        1400-1799        1800s        1900-1959       

1960-1999        2000-2010        2011-2015        2016-Present        Future

 Pre-calendar:
Tess, Adam, Henry, and Andrew are born.  I think popular opinion is Tess it the oldest followed by Adam.  I'm not sure what the feeling is about who's older: Henry or Andrew.  I think some of us believe Henry is older.  Also, Sam I would figure to be older than Tess.

In "Safe", Rose and JenniAnn ask Tess to tell them about what Andrew was like as a baby (understanding that he was never actually in baby form... they just meant when he was newly created).  She proceeds to tell them about his general demeanor and illustrates it with a story about his time in choir.  So I think it can be assumed from her tale that Andrew's first gig was in the angelic choir.  Tess goes onto say that Andrew spent time in Search and Rescue and "other departments" though she didn't specify the latter.  Later, of course, he moves into Caseworking.  In JABB 186, Andrew has a Q and A in which he responds to a question about his work history like this: "First, as is often the case, I was in the choir. That was great. And good practice for my years in Adam’s, Henry’s, and my band. Search and Rescue briefly. For a number of years, I was also in a department that “Touched” never really got around to discussing. It was called Inspiration and Advisement. We delivered divine inspiration from the Father to artists, authors, people struggling with big decisions, situations like that. A few other brief stints. Then it was Casework followed by Angel of Death."  So between TBAA and JABB it's been established that Andrew was in the choir, Inspiration and Advisement, Search and Rescue, Caseworking, angel of death, and supervising AOD along with unknown "other brief stints."

In "Samuel's Prayer," it's revealed that Samuel is around Andrew's age and maybe a bit older.  He has been a guardian angel since the dawn of humankind and has also done some "Search and Rescue."

6,000 years ago- Monica is born, as stated in TBAA's "Holy of Holies."

4,000 years ago- This is when Reuel's account in "Shadowlands" is set... or thereabouts.  Prior to the Great Flood, angels led by Reuel watched over the people of a village called Nogah and rescued those who were threatened and harmed by the Nephilim and demons, led by the monstrous Nen and Tzila.  God tells Reuel that He will be sending a flood to wipe out the evil ones and has Reuel bring his people to a portal which leads to another world, later named El-Chanan by the angel.  From then on out, Reuel's people flourish and El-Chanan thrives.

Circa 19 BC- "The Christmas Rose" has Yosef saying that he was 18 when he and Maryam were betrothed.  So he was probably 19 when Yeshua was born meaning this would be his birth year or thereabouts. 

Circa 15 BC- Maryam's birth year.  In "The Carpenter," Maryam states that she and Yosef had been together since she was 14 and that likely means from the betrothal on.  Tag on another nine months of pregnancy and you get 15 BC.  I think...  I guess it would depend on how birthdays fell.  In "The Family Tree," we get Yosef's take on first meeting Maryam when she was a newborn.  He was very adamant about not wanting to marry the girl when they were grown.  He changed his mind.

Circa 11 BC- In "The King," Maryam tells JenniAnn her earliest memory of Yosef which was when she was four and he was nine.  Maryam inadvertently stole something from her future husband.   

Circa 3 BC- "Believe" begins with a panicked, young Yosef showing up at Yehoyakim's house.  He's there for Hannah, a talented midwife, because Yosef's mother, Samiya, has gone into premature labor.  Maryam prays for the ability to help and the whole family follows Yosef back to his home.  While Yehoyakim and Maryam comfort the children, Hannah helps Samiya through a difficult labor.  The baby is born but not breathing.  Samiya is distraught.  Maryam enters the room, asks to hold the baby, and, heeding God's guidance, massages her chest.  The baby begins to breathe and cry.  Everyone is elated and, fourteen days later, Yosef's parents tell Maryam that they're naming the baby after her.  To avoid confusion, Maryam nicknames the baby Yoninah, "little dove."
 
Circa 1- Yeshua (later known as Joshua) was born to Maryam and Yosef of Nazareth.  It was kinda a big deal.  You may have read about it.  :-)  And with "The Family Tree," you get another take on His birth.  Decidedly not in keeping with the rules of the day, Yosef insists on being at Maryam's side when Yeshua enters the world.  Fr. Mike gives a homily about Maryam's and Yosef's courtship and Joshua's birth during Kemara's and Sean's wedding in "Here is My Heart."  In N451, Andrew briefly tells the story of Joshua's birth from his own POV.  In "Believe," Andrew has a dream/vision of the events leading up to Joshua's birth.  We see Maryam telling Yosef about her pregnancy, the families' reactions, Yosef's dream, and the couple's visit to their first home. 

In "The Golden Cord," Maryam and Yosef offer another version of the Christmas story to four-year-old Yeshu.

 
Circa 4- Yosef, Maryam, and Yeshua return from Egypt and resettle in Nazareth.  Yosef is trying to rebuild his carpentry business and Maryam tends to her son and cares for sick neighbors.  Unfortunately, not everyone has forgotten the scandal of Yosef marrying the pregnant Maryam.  Another little boy in the village taunts Yeshua about not being Yosef's.  This prompts his Ama and Abi to tell him a little about his divine parentage.  In 2013, Joshua grants Ivy a vision of this.  This is also about when Yeshua really befriends Isaaq ("Child of Laughter"). 

Circa 5- Yeshua awakens his parents on his fourth birthday, wanting to hear the story of his birth.  Maryam and Yosef comply and, for the first time, the little boy seems to understand a bit about why he’s so special.  He shares the news with his buddy, Yoktan.  ("The Golden Cord")
 
Circa 5/6- This is around the time when Yohannan and Yeshua decide to play "Extreme Home Makeover" according to "Someone who Urgently Needs a Shelf."  Maryam's parents, Hannah and Yehoyakim also passed away sometime around then. 

Circa 10- Maryam tells her son the truth about his friend, Isaaq, and how the family met him.  ("Child of Laughter")

Circa 15- Per John's story in "Shadowlands," this is about when Yeshua schemes to teach an immoral shopkeeper to pull himself together and honor God which, in turn, gives a poor little boy the donkey-friend he longed for.

Circa 16- Isaaq passes away surrounded by Maryam, Yosef, and Yeshua in their home.  ("Child of Laughter")  This is also around the time that Yosef's sister and her husband pass away leaving behind six children: Yaqob, Yosef, Shimeon, Yehuda, Leah, and Yael.    Maryam and Yosef acted as parents to the children with Yeshua stepping in as their big brother.  ("The King")
 
 Circa 21- Yosef passes away following a heart attack.  He dies in the arms of his wife and son.  A month later, on the eve of his 20th birthday, Yeshua remains in mourning.  Maryam tells him a story about the family's time in Egypt and Yeshua works a miracle involving a very special rose.  ("The Christmas Rose")

Circa 28- Yeshua and Maryam attend Mary of Bethany's wedding.  Lazar, her older brother, gets wasted because he doesn't trust the groom, Yakan, and is fearful for his sister.  Mother and son try to get the drunk man to bed but he refuses.  Lazar wants to keep an eye on Yakan.  While Maryam goes to fetch water and cloth to clean Lazar up, Yeshua remains with him and asks why he's so upset.  Lazar reveals that, while on a business trip to Magdala with Yakan, an old woman told him that Yakan beat his previous wife and turned her out after two years when she didn't produce a son.  The wife was then forced into prostitution to survive and died.  Yeshua is horrified, especially when Lazar tells him he told Mary and she explained it away as a cruel rumor.  Yeshua at last gets Lazar to bed after promising to speak to Mary herself.  He and Maryam steal a moment with the bride.  She's very joyful and excitedly invites them to visit her and Yakan in Magdala.  When she has to leave to speak with Martha, Yeshua and Maryam are left to hope that Lazar is wrong.

In the two years that follow, Maryam and Yeshua never receive an invitation from Mary to visit her.  Meanwhile, Martha and Lazar do visit Magdala and find their little sister bruised and sad but she refuses to leave with them.  Upon learning this, Maryam and Yeshua make an unannounced visit to Magdala but are told by a servant that Mary and Yakan are traveling.  ("Chrysalis")

Circa 30- Yeshua has begun his ministry and preaches near the Sea of Galilee.  At times, he goes off by himself to pray... and search for Mary.  Word had reached him that Yakan had turned Mary out.  She had wept and begged to remain with her husband but he'd refused, citing the lack of an heir.  Mary never arrived back at Bethany as was expected.  Lazar and Martha went to Magdala where they found Yakan remarried.  He insinuated that Maryam had become a prostitute but Yeshua struggles to believe that.  He enters the synagogue at Capernaum where his Abba gives him a vision of what befell Mary.

After being dismissed by Yakan, Mary remains in Magdala, hoping Yakan will come around.  When he doesn't, she sets off for Bethany on her donkey.  Unfortunately, a snake scares the animal and he darts off with all of Mary's things.  Thrown, Mary loses consciousness on the side of the road.  

Mary wakes up in a small, stone room near a fire.  Soon, she hears a male voice and finds a Roman soldier standing in the doorway.  He tries to calm her and asks what she was doing.  He's astounded when she reveals she was trying to travel to Bethany alone.  Tiberias, where she ended up, is quite far from home. Mary begins to cry and the Roman comforts her.  Assuming she is Jewish, he'd asked his Jewish nurse to prepare a meal for her.  Mary gratefully accepts it and begins to eat.  The two introduce themselves and Mary learns her rescuer is named Lucius Caelius.  

Abigail, Lucius' nurse, takes care of Mary as she recuperates.  Intrigued by her host, Mary is eager to learn more about Lucius from Abigail who happily obliges.  Abigail was Lucius' wet nurse after his mother died.  So she's been with him for his whole life.  She explains that Lucius suffers from nightmares and would have preferred being a philosopher but he comes from a military family and his father would not allow that.  She also suspects that Lucius would convert to Judaism if not for his father.  Abigail reveals that she thinks Lucius is attracted to Mary but, when the girl suggests leaving, Abigail assures her that Lucius would never take her by force and, besides, Mary stays in Abigail's room and Lucius would never cross her.  Relaxed, Mary remains.

A week later, Lucius comes to the house with a surprise.  He tracked down Tabi, Mary's donkey, and her belongings.  Mary is thrilled to be reunited with her pet and treasured family heirlooms.  She's emotional but very thankful.  Abigail can tell that sparks are beginning to fly between Lucius and Mary.

A month after her rescue, Mary is mending some clothing when she begins to think about her past and weeps.  Lucius enters the room and Mary finally opens up to him about Yakan and her divorce.  The two share a tender moment and, after a caress, Lucius abruptly leaves.  Mary prays for deliverance from her feelings.  

Another two weeks pass and while Abigail is away helping a neighbor, Mary is awoken by Lucius who is in the the throes of a night terror.  She goes to his room in hopes of soothing him.  One thing leads to another and they end up kissing.  Mary apologizes, explaining that she's merely desperate for tenderness.  Lucius counters that he treasures her and has been struggling with his feelings for some time.  They end up making love.

The following day, the couple announce their intent to marry to Abigail.  She's shocked but handles it well.  Lucius meets with a rabbi to discuss converting.  Mary is nervous that Lucius will pick up on the cultural/religious preference for virgins but Lucius counters that King David loved Bathsheba who surely was not a virgin having been married.  Lucius also assures Mary that, even if she were barren, he would still love her.  Mary tells Lucius that she trusts him and they embrace.

A week later, Lucius is told to report to Capernaum.  Mary stays behind because Abigail fell and is recuperating.  Lucius expresses his gratitude to God for leading him to Mary.  They embrace and kiss and Mary thanks God, too, and silently vows to be a good wife to Lucius.

After three weeks pass with no sign of Lucius, Abigail and Mary grow nervous.  Finally, the latter makes her way to the army barracks where another centurion tells Mary that Lucius drowned while trying to save two Jewish boys caught in a sudden storm.  Mary is devastated and begins to wander around in a daze.  She ends up wandering back to the barracks after nightfall where a Roman soldier finds her.  He and two other soldiers rape Mary and then dump her in a nearby grove.  Mary shakily walks further into the grove.

When the vision ends, Yeshua weeps in the synagogue and vows to find and heal Mary.  He hurries back to his followers and, finding Cephas the only one awake, tells him of his plans which include retrieving Maryam before confronting Mary.  Cephas insists that Yeshua take his brother's donkey and that he, Andreas, Yaqob, and Yohannan meet the two in Tiberias.  Yeshua agrees and sets off.

During the ride to Tiberias, Yeshua relates his vision to his mother.  The two make plans for what they'll do once there.  Maryam is confident that her son will be able to heal their friend.  

Once in Tiberias, the group learns that Mary is considered a madwoman and taunted by the villagers.  Despite his apostles' arguments, Yeshua is determined to go into the grove and talk to Mary.  He's only stopped when Abigail hurries onto the scene and yells at him, thinking he means Mary harm.  However, she recognizes the name Yeshua of Nazareth and has heard of his healings so sends him in with a basket of food.

Yeshua comes to a mound of hair and torn cloth which is Mary.  She's distrustful, angry, and broken.  After raging, Mary begins to rock and sing a song Lucius taught her to calm herself.  Yeshua gets her talking about Lucius.  The breakthrough is cut short when Mary flashes back to her rape.  Yeshua tells her of God's love and counters her claims that God would turn away from her.  He also tells her that God forgives her for laying with Lucius without marriage but that He can't forgive her for being raped because that was the rapists' sins... not hers.  She is blameless.  She then asks for forgiveness for her own sins and Yeshua grants that.  Mary leans against her friend and they embrace as she engages in a cleansing cry.  Afterwards, the two exit the grove.  Mary is reunited with Abigail and Maryam who embrace her.  

The group returns to Lucius' house where Mary remains for a week.  Lazar and Martha reunite with their sister there and shower her with affection.  Yeshua finds Mary in Lucius' room and she expresses her sorrow that she and Lucius couldn't marry.  She's also worried about his fate in the after life.  Yeshua counsels that he thinks Mary will see Lucius again in a place where neither will feel pain.  Together, they leave the room for the last time.

A week later, Mary and Abigail have settled into life back at Bethany with Lazar and Martha.  Lazar announces that Mary has a guest.  She and Abigail discover that it's Cornelius, the centurion who informed Mary of Lucius' death.  After some wrangling with Lucius' father, Cornelius was able to obtain what Lucius left for Mary and Abigail in his will.  Both women are presented with an abundance of coins.  They both weep and Mary feels undeserving but Abigail counsels that they'll find a way to use the money to honor Lucius.  ("Chrysalis")
 
Circa 33/34- In "Asking the Answer," it's revealed that Andrew saw Joshua die.  This is further hinted at in "Ivy."  "Child of Laughter" reveals a bit about Yeshua's post-Crucifixion awesomeness.  In "The Carpenter," Andrew, at Joshua's suggestion, gives JenniAnn his full account of witnessing Joshua's scourging, Crucifixion, and Resurrection.  (See the chapter entitled "Remembering.")  JenniAnn was surprised to learn that, with the help of an assignment, Andrew was secreted into the cell where Joshua was awaiting execution and was able to speak briefly to him.  Joshua's own recollections of his death and resurrection are sprinkled throughout the story.  In N483, news of the Crucifixion has reached Tzipora, Yeshua's former crush turned follower, and her husband, Micah.  They comfort each other, sharing memories of Yeshua, before they receive a miraculous message.  Yet another take on the Crucifixion and aftermath comes in "On a Hill Far Away" in which Metatron witnesses Yeshua's death while in Gaul (aka France) and painfully records it. 
 
1450s to 1550s- I don't outright say it in "A Different Promotion Day" but it's suggested in that story that Andrew was promoted to caseworker from Search and Rescue at some point around Leonardo DaVinci's lifetime.  Sam does clearly say in that story that centuries passed between Andrew's promotion to caseworking and his later one to AOD.  The assignment Andrew recounts in "A Shorts Story" happens sometime after his promotion to caseworking.

1510- In Ireland, Isolde is abducted, raped, and turned by a nameless vampire.  She refuses to drink blood and escapes his castle with the intent of going home to die and be buried.  First Joshua and then Marco find her and get her to safety.  Marco feeds her and refuses to leave her.  Eventually, they tell her parents that she's decided to live as a holy hermit and attach herself to a monastery.  Marco visits frequently to keep her fed.  After a terrible storm frightens Isolde, Marco proposes so he can stay with her and because he's loved her for a good, long time.  She accepts and the two perform their own handfasting ritual at a shrine dedicated to Mary.  They continue on, happily married and leading a prayerful life, for nine years with Marco keeping his wife fed.  ("Chrysalis")

February 13, 1519 and untold days that follow- On Isolde's birthday, Marco has a coughing fit and there's blood on his handkerchief.  The couple are grieved and send for a doctor.  He tells them the end is inevitable and it's only a matter of time before Marco dies.  Isolde keeps herself fed off of animals and prays for a miraculous healing but none comes.  Meanwhile, political/religious tensions are rising.  Marco fears for what may happen to his wife if she's left alone and the abbey is attacked.  When near death, Marco gives her a choice: drain him of his blood to give herself energy to flee or turn him into a vampire so he can be with her.  He prefers the latter.  Though reluctant to keep him away from Heaven for so long, Isolde agrees and successfully turns her husband into a vampire. ("Chrysalis")
 
1599- Josef is born somewhere in Eastern Europe.  He's turned about 25-30 years later.  The date is from Moonlight, I chose the birth place.

1605- Andrew and Adam meet when the former is playing Hamlet in an early production with the latter serving as prop master as revealed in "On a Dark and Stormy Night."

1651- Andrew's assignment in Shiloh, MA during the witch trials.  Eben falls.  Henry is an AOD at this point.  ("For Thou Art With Me")

July 4, 1776- Per "Never Alone," Andrew was a pub keeper, seemingly in Philadelphia, on that famed date.  Thomas Jefferson was copacetic but apparently John Adams had reservations about the angel's culinary abilities.

1832- In the TBAA episode "Interview with an Angel," Henry said he spent a century in France.  The show never elaborated but according to "To Love Another Person," one year of that stint was 1832 when Henry witnessed the uprising which inspired Victor Hugo's Les Miserables.  As of 2014, Henry was still pretty emotional about it.

1861-1865- "Carry On" briefly references that Andrew was a chaplain during the American Civil War.

April 26, 1865- Andrew is promoted to AOD per TBAA's "Beautiful Dreamer."

1914-1918- Andrew worked with the Red Cross during WWI according to "Carry On."

November 1922- Mick St. John is born per Moonlight.

1920s or 1930s- Depending on how old you think Father was during the Red Scare, he woulda been born in one of these two decades, I would think.

1924- Esther Kossing (later Chava Friedman) is born to Eva and Noam Kossing.  David Friedman may also have been born this year or possibly 1923.  Eva was five months pregnant when Judith Friedman gave birth to her son, David.  Eva felt her baby move for the first time when she held David...  ("Chava")

Circa 1930- Andrew is assigned to David when he nearly drowns.  When David told Esther about this experience years later, he said only that he was a little boy at the time.  So the date is uncertain.  ("Chava")
 
January 12, 1934- Lorcan "Lor" Finn Cleary is born and adopted by Declan and Siobhan Cleary.  ("Origins")

1934- Though they'd known each other since infancy, Esther Kossing and David Friedman begin to grow close after he helps her evade a teacher's anger.  Esther then met up with some friends and one, Beth, is distressed because her father was recently fired from his newspaper job and she has heard that Jews are being expelled from their homes and fired from their jobs.  On her walk home, Esther sees David tending so lovingly to his mentally challenged brother, Benjamin.  David and Benjamin then escort Esther home where her father voices his and her mother's approval of the possible match.  ("Chava")
 
March 1936- Cora Marie O'Connell is born in Ireland.  ("Origins")

October 1938- Esther's friend, Elzbieta/Beth, and her family (who are Polish Jews) are forced to flee Germany when her father is frightened by the news that mandatory expulsions are happening.  By this point, Esther and David are an established couple.  They go to Beth's home to bid her good bye and give her a gift... a brightly colored cape they made together.  When they leave, it's without knowing if they'll ever see Beth again.  ("Chava")

November 9, 1938- Kristallnacht.  Esther, David, Bennie, and their friends are hiding in the backroom of the Friedmans' tailor shop.  Felix is livid and frightened, demanding that people rise up against the oppression and violence.  They hear the sound of broken glass and, going to investigate, David finds the store windows broken and men running through the street with torches.  He bars the door in an effort to keep everyone safe.  Judith and Levi, David's and Bennie's parents, come to them and share the heartbreaking news that Esther's father, Noam Kossing, and the village rabbi were killed.  Andrew later reveals to LJA and then Chava that he was their AOD.  He took the two men Home after they were killed while trying to protect the synagogue and the Torah.  ("Chava")

December 1938- Esther runs away from home in the middle of the night to keep vigil outside the charred remains of the synagogue where her father was killed.  David comes to find her and lends her some comfort by telling her about his own brush with death when he saw an angel (Andrew).  The young couple share their first kiss.  ("Chava")

1939-1945-  Several of these entries cover very specific times when Andrew worked cases related to WWII.  Other references are very vague.  "Carry On" only mentions that Andrew was a chaplain during some point during the War.

September 1941- David, Esther, and their families and friends are deported from their village in Germany to a ghetto in Poland.  Upon their arrival, David's entire family are killed and Andrew takes them Home.  Esther and Eva lead a shocked David into a building where they enter a room occupied by another family, the Adlers.  To keep her daughter and David together without raising eye brows, Eva tells the family that the couple are married.  Esther stays with David that night, crying for them both as he's still too shocked to react.  That morning, she consoles him by sharing her belief that his angel (Andrew) was with his family.  David asks her to say Kaddish for them and she complies.  ("Chava")
 
October 1941- David and Esther are officially married by Rabbi Isak Lautz amid the company of her mother, Eva, the Adlers, and their friends, Felix, Flora, and Hanna.  Eva had confided in Mrs. Adler about how she just declared them married sans ceremony so they all organized a surprise wedding for the couple.  ("Chava")

April 1942- Rumors of atrocities are all around and David, Felix, Mr. Adler and Rabbi Lautz gather in the apartment to discuss.  Felix leaves in a huff, wanting to fight while the others are unsure of the efficacy of his route.  David escorts Felix back to his family.  Esther follows and overhears the two speaking of terrible events elsewhere.  David takes Esther to Rabbi Lautz's where he has prepared a little space for them in a hidden attic.  David and Esther have their first fight when the former confesses that he delayed their wedding because he thought Esther might find a more suitable partner when she went away to college which, of course, she was not allowed to attend.  They soon make up. However, that night Esther starts to fully realize how grave their situation is.  ("Chava")

1942- 1945- Mick serves in WWII (for possibly longer), at least part of the time with LJA's grandpa, Connor.  Mick's WWII service was touched on in the Moonlight episode "What's Left Behind."  Sophia and Eli ("Feels Like Home") meet at some point during the War, too.  Eli discusses some of their early days on the homefront in "Triad."

September 1942- David and Esther have a quiet, rare evening alone together.  They dream of a future together, back in their own village.  Then they share a dance.  ("Chava") 

June 1943- Esther and David are tucked away in the rabbi's attic after spending the night together when they hear a distant rumble.  Horribly, trucks have arrived and the ghetto where they and their loved ones are staying is being liquidated.  The couple remain in the attic, knowing there's nothing they can do.  Then David glimpses little Rose Adler, separated from her family and huddling in an alley.  He goes to rescue her but is spotted by a guard.  Esther runs out to join him and all three are escorted to the square where deportations have begun.  There they learn that Mr. Adler was killed while trying to help a man whose wife was shot.  On the train to Auschwitz, Eva shares her memories of first holding David when she was five month pregnant with Esther.  It was the first time she felt her child move in her womb.  Shortly after their arrival at the concentration camp, Lila, Rosa, and Mrs. Adler are killed.  David is separated from his wife and mother-in-law.  ("Chava")

July 1943- Esther and David are reunited when the latter, because of his skills as a tailor, is brought to the warehouse where Esther and Flora are repairing confiscated coats.  They are able to speak briefly, telling each other what they know of their friends' fates.  After exchanging "I love yous," they part again but with the hope of seeing each other daily.  ("Chava")

October 1943- Eva Kossing passes away after contracting pneumonia the previous month due to the terrible conditions at the camp.  Esther is at her side.  Andrew and Noam take Eva Home while Hanna consoles her orphaned friend.  Flora looks on in shock, having lost her own mother only the month before.  The next day, Flora tells David of Eva's passing.  When Esther is able to speak to him, David reassures her that God is still with them... something she struggles to believe but then she remembers her mother calling out to an angel and Noam.  She shares this with David who very much agrees that they were with Eva at the end.  ("Chava")

November 1943- Rabbi Lautz goes to sleep one night in the barracks after delivering evening prayer.  He passes away during the night.  ("Chava")

January 1944- Anton Leiber, Flora's and Felix's father, collapses during work detail and dies in his son's arms.  With his passing, Esther and all of her friends became orphans.  ("Chava")
 
February 1944- When they are able to speak briefly during a meal break, David tells Flora and Esther that Felix is planning an escape and wants for them all to join in the attempt now that their loved ones are all gone and there is no one left for the guards to hurt as punishment.  While initially skeptical and worried, Esther joins David and Flora in hoping for Felix to devise a successful plot.  ("Chava")

March 1944- Andrew returns to Auschwitz to check in on David.  While there, he hears the man speaking to Felix.  They're plotting their escape and, despite Felix's reluctance, David insists that if they are spotted or heard in the woods, he will turn himself in so the others can continue on to freedom.  Hearing this, Andrew is humbled and encouraged by their selflessness and prays.  ("Chava")
 
April 1944- After weeks of preparations and planning , David, Esther, and their friends make their escape attempt on a Tuesday in April.  Sadly, they are spotted and David sacrifices himself to save his wife and friends.  Andrew pleads with the guards to turn a blind eye and let David go but they don't heed him.  They shoot David multiple times.  Before he dies, he asks Andrew to promise to watch over his wife and friends.  Andrew agrees and tells David that they will reach freedom and safety.  Then he takes David Home.  Andrew returns to say Kaddish but is unable to do so.  Abraham finishes the prayer and explains that Joshua has come to mourn his children.  Joshua cradles David's body and sings a lament in the language of creation.  He directs Andrew to go to a woman named Lena and tell her that Leon (Joshua) sent him and that she's to aid the four visitors that come to her.  Thus Andrew begins his work of protecting Esther and her friends in fulfillment of his promise to David.  ("Chava")

Circa 1945- Felix, Flora, Hanna, and Esther immigrate to the U.S. after the war ends.  Upon their arrival in New York, Esther gives her name as Chava Friedman and uses that name for the rest of her life.  David's uncle, Daniel, tends to the newcomers.  In time, Felix and Hanna married each other.  Flora also married and had ten children.  Chava never remarried and resided with Felix and Hanna.  She worked as a seamstress.  ("Chava")

1950s- At some point during this decade, Andrew played Frog Guard #2 in the campy, sci-fi B movie Attack of the Killer Frog People from Planet Z.  His assignment was to help a  fellow actor cope with his grief.  Andrew had to watch this with LJA in spring of 2010.  ("Andrew Watches a Bunch of TV")

Early 1950s- Dr. Jacob Wells (Father) is accused of being a Communist sympathizer.  As a result, his wife's father has the marriage annulled.  Devastated, Jacob somehow ends up starting a utopian society in the Tunnels beneath New York City.  He goes by Father.

June 1953- Lor and Cora, Vincent's birth parents, meet.  ("Origins")

November 14, 1953- Lor and Cora are married.  ("Origins")

April 5, 1954- Josef/Charles meets Sarah Whitley.  ("Make This Go On Forever")  The story was inspired by and a sort of sequel to the Moonlight episode "Sleeping Beauty."

May 20, 1954- Lor Cleary is killed.  ("Origins")
 
January 12, 1955- A Tunnel-dweller hears a baby crying behind St. Vincent's hospital.  She brings the unique newborn below.  Enter Vincent who is adopted by Father.  It will be several years before Vincent learns the truth about his birth.  (This is mentioned several times in BatB but I think "God Bless the Child" gets into it the most.)  "Origins" reveals how Vincent came to be behind that hospital.
 
Some point in 1955- Mick marries Coraline and is turned.  (See Moonlight's "Dr. Feelgood")

April 28, 1955- Andrew and Sarah Whitley (beloved of Josef) meet the day before tragedy strikes.  ("Make This Go on Forever")

1955-1975- There are several references to Andrew working during the Vietnam era.  He is mentioned as being a chaplain in both "Carry On" and "Ivy" though neither give firm dates.  Ben Hendricks in "Safe" mentions Andrew comforting him after he'd been wounded.  Again, no year is given.

Spring 1956- Given he is newly 57 in "Chava", Rabbi Yakov Levine is born some time here.  His wife, Tiva, is a little bit younger.
 
1957- Catherine Chandler is born to Caroline and Charles Chandler of NYC. 

December 24, 1961- There's a sweet lil glimpse of a young Vincent and Father discussing angels in "I'll Be Home for Christmas."

April 1965- In "Anniversary,"  Adam recalls an assignment during which he was with the military and Andrew with some hippies and they tried to show that there didn't need to be animosity between the two groups.

March 1968- In "Triad," Eli recalls when he and Sophia attended a protest against George Wallace in her hometown of Omaha.  It turned violent and, in the race to get away, Sophia twisted her ankle.  When some men spotted Eli carrying her, they attacked him.  Sophia was traumatized by the incident.

1970s/1980s- Per "Shelter from the Storm," Monica spent a lot of time in Ireland during this era as part of her Search and Rescue stint.

Autumn 1978- According to the "how we met" story in "Chava", Rabbi Yakov and Tiva probably met around this time.  It was his first day of rabbinical school and he was boarding with Tiva's brother.  They flirted instantly and were married a year later.

1981/1982- Given Catherine and Tiva are taking both JenniAnn and Tiva's daughter, Becca, shopping for formal dance dresses in 1998 as told in "Harry and Psyche," it's likely that Becca Levine is either LJA's age or a year older.  Since LJA was a HS junior in 1998, I assume Becca was either the same or a senior.  Thus, Becca would have been born to Yakov and Tiva during one of these two years.
 
July 24, 1982- JenniAnn Dywnwen Chandler is born to Charles Chandler's brother's (Connor) son and daughter-in-law (Robert and Allison Chandler) in Nebraska.  Thus making Catherine her 2nd cousin (at least as we count it in my real family, never did get the twice-removed bit down.) 

April 12, 1984- Catherine is attacked by some thugs who think she's someone else.  Vincent finds the wounded woman and takes her Below to be tended to by his dad, Father.  And they discover that they're very closely bonded, fall in love, birds sing, stars shine brighter, roses bloom, tralalala.  ;-)  For the most part their relationship then follows the show cept with additions. 

September 8th, 1984- As a toddler, JenniAnn stumbles into a portal in Asteriana, ends up Below.  (Act of God, I suppose.)  Assuming she's an orphan, Vincent plans to adopt her and names her Psyche but Catherine learns of her cousins' missing child and connects the dots.  Psyche/JenniAnn returns to her parents in January 1985.  It will later be discovered that baby JenniAnn was taken through a portal from NE to Dyeland (then Asteriana) and then went through another portal herself that led to the Tunnels.  ("How Vincent Met Psyche")  In "Chava," LJA briefly recalls the time when she lived with Vincent.

 1985- Mick is hired by Beth's mother to find her after she's kidnapped.  The kidnapper turns out to be his ex.  Mick saves Beth and thinks he killed Coraline.  (See Moonlight's premiere.)

December 3, 1985- Given Owen is eighteen in the 2004 portions of "The Scientist," I decided this would be the birth date of Orville Owen Olsen.  Stress on the Owen part.  ;-)

1986- Some former Tunnel-dweller pitches a TV drama based on Vincent, Catherine, and Father to a CBS network exec.

Early 1986- Vincent has his nervous breakdown or whatever we want to call the last 3 episodes of Season 2.

January 16, 1987- While visiting Catherine and Vincent in NYC, a very young JenniAnn first sees Andrew while he's working an AOD assignment and promptly falls into puppy love with "Cupid".  (Andrew resembled the Greek god in her Cupid and Psyche picture book.)  She doesn't reveal this until November 2009 during "In the House of the Lord."  (ETA: Augh.  I just realized I inadvertently messed up the timeline cause Vincent and LJA weren't reunited til September [see below] so... my current story is that LJA did visit Catherine in January 1987 and Catherine let her spend time with Vincent unbeknownst to LJA's parents.  But after the freakish events of January 1987 [LJA seeing a dead body and all...], Catherine and Vincent dropped plans for further visits in hopes that would enable the girl to forget what they saw as a traumatic event.  So from mid-January til September, Vincent was entirely out of her life and Catherine existed only as a friendly voice on the phone.  It works...)  Update: "The Keeper's Story" reveals the date LJA first saw Andrew as January 16th, 1987.  The story is told there from Joshua's perspective... which would be the most accurate, naturally.

 May 1987- Our darling AOD Band had a special performance at a children's hospital that month per Henry's recollection in "Anniversary." 

September 1987- BatB premieres, lil JenniAnn freaks out, her mom calls Catherine for an explanation, eventually she and Vincent are reunited and he's named her godfather.  From that point out JenniAnn spends most summers and some other times Below.

November 1987- "Song of Songs" identifies November as the "eventually" referenced above.  Catherine introduces her cousins, Allison and Robert, to the World Below so that JenniAnn/Psyche can reunite with Vincent.  The Chandlers then name Vincent as her godfather and Catherine as her legal guardian should something happen to them.  It's also revealed there that a feud had apparently erupted between the Charles and Connor sides of the Chandler clan (In "Possibilities," Catherine references the Connor set being "well, conservative" so it coulda been a political and/or judgment thing).  Now three years into their romance, Catherine is growing frustrated with still being relegated to a guest chamber when she stays over.

January 1988- As Vincent's 33rd birthday approaches, Psyche comes back to celebrate with him, Catherine, and the Tunnel folk.  Devin also returns.... interrupting a private moment between his brother and Catherine.  Then, on Vincent's birthday morning, Devin, Father, and Mary are waiting with a box of the doughnuts tradition has dictated be served... and there's no Vincent.  Or Catherine.  But there is a large bookcase barring the door to Vincent's chamber... and Catherine is missing from hers.  The following day, Psyche moves into Catherine's former chamber.  Connect the dots.  ;-)  ("Song of Songs")

December 30, 1988- In "The Golden Cord," Vincent tells the story of when Psyche came to spend Christmas with him in the Tunnels and helped him increase his sense of self-worth.
 
1989- It was probably during this year that Andrew, and a very special donkey, took Lorelai (Lai-Lai) Hunter Home.  Lorelai's brother and parents would later be among those praying for Ivy when the bullying she endures indirectly lands her in a coma.  Because of this early loss, Kevin (who went to grade school with LJA) wanted to believe that her drawings of "Cupid" were an angel...  Of course, they were: Andrew.  1989 is also the year Eilish's parents, Eiméar and James , came to Dyeland per Elizabeth in "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

March 10, 1989- Max Remus is born somewhere in New Jersey.  His mom skips out a month later, leaving his dad to raise him.  Something Rex Remus doesn't take seriously enough...

December 1989- Catherine miscarries a baby.  (This was originally supposed to tie in with the Dyeland version of BatB S3 but when I shifted dates it didn't really work.)

Summer 1990- Eiméar and James are married in Dyeland.  ("A Midsummer Night's Dream")
 
September 1990- "The Chaplain" tells the story of Eleanor, a military wife and LJA's teacher.  Andrew meets Eleanor as she waits for a plane to take her to visit her husband, Ian, before he ships out.  Andrew, the chaplain, comforts her when she confesses her worry for Ian.

August 1990-February 1991-  "In the House of the Lord" has Jerry recalling seeing Andrew during an Operation Desert Storm battle.  When during this span it happened, we don't know.

June 21, 1992- Eilish is born in Asteriana per "The Story of Eilish/Elise."

September 21, 1994- TBAA premieres.

1995- Chava's friend, Felix Lieber, passes away.  ("Chava")  Shelby's brother, Asher, is also born sometime this year considering he was fourteen in "Be Thou My Vision" and eighteen in "Trick-or-Treating."
 
March 1995- Yva and Sir Sven are married (not in Dyeland.)

April 1995- Eilish wanders through a portal in Asteriana and into Estonia, leaving her parents distraught per "The Story of Eilish/Elise."  She's adopted by a woman named Maria.

Late 1995- Monica and Andrew meet.  It's not actually January 6th, 1996 since assumedly the TBAA writers woulda needed time to write that episode after it happened.

January 6, 1996- Andrew premieres on TBAA's episode "The One That Got Away."  Certain individuals crush on the character.  Ahem.

February 7, 1996- Salma is born to Faisal and his wife.  Isra relates the story to her little sister in a flashback in "Chrysalis."
 
March 28, 1996- On a much welcome shared day off from school and work, newlyweds Zeke and Diana decide to have some "special time."  That falls apart when Diana begins vomiting.  Zeke heads to the store in search of crackers and ginger ale for his bride and ends up returning to the house with a pregnancy test, too.  Both parents are ecstatic when they learn a lil one (later named Hailey) is coming to them.  ("A Cord of Three Strands")

1997- Hanna Lieber passes away.   ("Chava")

March 23, 1997- This is when Eilish's parents write her the letter that she finds in "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

 April 18, 1997- Violeta is created.  "The Carpenter" has Violeta and Joshua recalling her birth, early days in Records, and her discovery that Joshua and Jesus (who she read about in several files) are the same person.  A different take on Violeta’s creation, one that involves Andrew and JenniAnn, is offered by Joshua  in "Chrysalis."

1998- In "Abide With Me", Andrew recalls a time in 1998 when he was assigned to Dr. Fila Al-Mitra, an Afghani physician forced out of her practice.  Before she died, Fila asked Andrew to stay with her granddaughter until the girl's aunt returned.  The little girl turns out to be Badriya who Andrew would meet and befriend during his captivity in the Summer/Autumn of 2012.  Meanwhile, given Ivy is fifteen when her story is told, that means she was probably born in 1998 or thereabouts. 

July 19, 1998- Princess JenniAnn starts JABB with Princess Audrey.  (Yes, JABB exists in Dyeland, but they'd get different newsletters than the real us get, obviously.)

November 1998- JenniAnn is grieving her Grandpa Connor and desperately missing "Cupid" (Andrew) so her parents send her to New York for Thanksgiving in hopes the change of scenery will help.  While she's there, Catherine and Tiva take her shopping where JenniAnn meets a little boy named Harry... or so he says.  In February 2013, she and "Harry" recall this meeting in "Harry and Psyche."

December 1998- In "The Golden Cord," Edward and Caleb recall a special Christmas they spent with their aunt and uncle on the farm when they were eight.  Their parents went on a cruise and Dot and Randall got to experience Christmas morning with kids for the first time.


1999- Princess JenniAnn pretends to discover Dyeland (really she'd known it as Asteriana as stated above).  She and Princess Audrey found Dyeland.  From here on out, Dyeland is JenniAnn's regular home.  "Possibilities" reveals that LJA and Vincent had a disagreement this year when she wanted to move Below and he wouldn't let her because he knew she was just trying to skip out of high school.  Thankfully, he stuck to his guns.  Had LJA been happily living Below, she would never have returned to Dyeland or properly met Andrew.

 March 17, 2000- Andrew comes to Dyeland, everyone learns he is real.  ("St. Patrick's Day in Dyeland", "Eight Years Later", and "Chava" which reveals that LJA's first words spoken directly to him were that she'd missed him... something Andrew didn't understand until a number of years later when he learned that she'd seen him at age 4.)  "In the Fields of Gold" is set in March 2011 but has flashbacks to Andrew's life at that time.  Turns out his arrival in Dyeland coincided with the events that inspired TBAA's "Pandora's Box."

March 25, 2000- In "Friend of My Soul," we learn about how it was JenniAnn first introduced Andrew to his new home, Serendipity.  Andrew was pretty stunned... and LJA was pretty awkward.    

Spring 2000- Various incidents from the latter part of LJA's senior year of high school are brought up in "Ivy."  Among them are her learning a lesson about trust from a friend, her sort of tricking Andrew into breaking a school rule, and her just, in general, being a sap over Andrew.  In "Abide With Me", she relates the story of her prom night... in Andrew's living room.
 
November 2000- Andrew is elected President of Dyeland, Princess JenniAnn becomes Lady JenniAnn. 

Christmas 2000- In "Another Christmas," Andrew tells about the Christmas that correlates with "An Angel on My Tree."  Turns out that the Dyelanders were a lil bit involved.

2001- We don't have an exact date but know Princess Yva arrives in Dyeland sometime during the course of this year.  "Princess" would later be dropped.

Feb. 2001- Vincent comes to Dyeland to watch over JenniAnn after her parents get freaked when some stories of the goings on there get back to them.  A couple years have passed since he last saw JenniAnn.  "Possibilities" reveals that they exchanged letters and such during the time apart... so it wasn't a total silence or anything.  That story also covers how LJA told Vincent about Andrew (who he later realizes is the "Cupid" of her childhood) and then describes the initial meeting between the two.

Spring 2001- Gloria is born.  See TBAA's "Face of God."  Please note that since the Dyeland stories are supposed to be about the real angels who inspired the TBAA characters, some things are a bit different.  So we may learn that Gloria's creation didn't happen exactly as TBAA depicted it.  Joshua was definitely there, for one.  He was also there... as much as he could be... when Monica was tempted per "The Coffee Summit."  In that, Monica's temptation (precipitated by a mass shooting and not a bombing) was more psychologically distressing and confusing than in "Netherlands."  She honestly could not summon her memories of God.  But that didn't stop Joshua from calling out to her.  (This is revisited in "A Stor Mo Chroi.")  Years later, God allows Monica's gift to be used to allow JenniAnn to experience this temptation so she can understand Monica and they can make peace.  In November 2013, Monica reveals the truth about that day to Arthur and he then tells Monica a little more about his recollections and we learn that Joshua is the reason Arthur and Monica met.  ("The Truth")  We get a little of Gloria's perspective on this time period in "The Carpenter."  That story also reveals how it was that Arthur came to be in the thrift shop when Gloria and Monica entered it on that fateful day. 
 
 September 2001- "In the Palm of His Hand" partly takes place on September 14th when Andrew tracks down LJA at her college.  He asks her about the well-being of those in the Tunnels and the Helpers.  LJA confides in him about her experience of 9/11 via the news coverage while he reveals that he's been at Ground Zero and left because the Father is making angels take shifts (rather than have the same angels there constantly).  The TBAA episodes "A Winter Carol" and "The Christmas Watch" touched on Andrew's experience of that terrible day and the aftermath, too.

September 19, 2001- While watching news coverage, LJA asks Andrew if he's ever been to Afghanistan.  He tells her about his assignment with Fila and tending to little Badriya.  ("Abide With Me")  This memory ends up being the key to how Andrew is located after being taken as a POW in late 2012.

December 2001- "Another Holiday Story" becomes the first canonical Dyeland Christmas story!  Basically, a sleep-deprived LJA dreams that her friends are characters from classic Christmas movies, books, etc.

February 2002- This is the first reference I found to Countess Jennifer in Dyeland.

February 14, 2002- Princess Audrey and LJA set Andrew up on a blind date... for their own amusement... in "Andrew's Blind Date."

April 2002- Andrew hurries to Bennie's apartment after he gets a call from JenniAnn asking him to pick her up.  A fellow at Bennie's party said something untoward to JenniAnn, prompting the call.  Andrew and Bennie fight over whether or not LJA overreacted.  That's the last contact they have with Bennie for several years.  ("Friend of My Soul" )

September 2002- Andrew finds himself in Dyeland during the events of "Two Sides to Every Angel" and confides in LJA in "Dark Night of the Soul."  Later, in February 2009, Eli reveals that he was briefly there that evening.  LJA's godmother had sent him to check up on the girl.  Sophia's Alzheimer's symptoms started surfacing shortly thereafter.  ("Feels Like Home")

Early October 2002- This is probably about when Tess' Alzheimer's was experienced by the real angels.  In "The Walk," LJA recalls finding Andrew in tears during that period so at some point he returned to Dyeland to deal with his emotions.  Presumably because he was putting on a calm front for Monica, he couldn't do that before.  "Friend of My Soul"  explores that in much more detail. 
 
October 31, 2002- The first canonical Halloween tale arrives with "Another Halloween in Dyeland" (I swear the titles get better).  Andrew plays host to Dyelanders who watched way too much scary stuff.

December 2002- Princess Audrey, Lady JenniAnn, and Andrew reminisce about Christmas memories in "Another Christmas."  (Seriously?!?  How hard is it to give a story a decent title?)

Early Spring 2003- Following the case that inspired TBAA's "Virtual Reality," Andrew returns to Dyeland while still troubling over the assignment.  LJA is initially sympathetic but when she discovers he was defending the assailant, she blows up at him.  And then Rafael serves as a mood breaker.  ;-)  All this and more in "Rapprochement."
 
March 2003- Owing to the idea being that TBAA was inspired by the real life experiences of Andrew and Co., I sometimes presupposed a lag time between God giving the inspiration, an episode being written, then filmed, and then aired.  So while we all saw "I Will Walk With You" in April 2003, the angels experienced Monica's promotion and the assignment leading up to it in March.  "The Walk" tells about what happened to Andrew directly after he faded away in that field: he was sent to Dyeland where, after LJA outright asked his weepy self if he was depressed, he told her of Monica's promotion.  After cheering some, the two went to the Cafe where they joined C.J. and Yva for drinks.  Unseen, Sam and Joshua observed.  Sam notes Andrew's sadness and Joshua assures him that Andrew will see Monica, Tess, and Gloria again.  Joshua also confides in Sam, who witnessed Andrew's birth, that Andrew was created from the same elements as a place dear to Joshua... Dyeland's Fields of Gold.  He reveals that Andrew has always been bound to Dyeland.  It also turns out that, again per Joshua, Satan is actually afraid of Andrew.  Later, LJA goes over to Andrew's and finds him distressed and playing the piano.  He confides more in her and then she asks him to dance.  They start slowly then get more animated as their moods improve.  Joshua watches over them and imagines a future dance at a time of trouble but he knows, even then, that they'll triumph.  In "The Coffee Summit," we see a glimpse of how Monica learned of her promotion... from Jack who was actually Joshua.  Jack looks and acts substantially different from "Zack."  He's described as having red hair, freckles, and green eyes... which then morph into Joshua's real gold and brown ones.  He is also warmer... but then so are ice cubes.  Sorry.  That was bad.  ;-)  Needless to say, Joshua was there because he loved Monica and wanted to share in her moment.  And hug.  Because that is what Joshua does.
 
Summer 2003- Andrew is re-elected president of Dyeland.  At some point he resigns.  Everything official in Dyeland is decided by majority rule from then on out.

August 2003- This is when "Movie Night in Dyeland" is set.  Although the writing is a bit funky due to it being a contest, it pretty much works.  "Theo" would be another of Joshua's aliases, I'm thinking. 

October 2003- "The Reaper" covers Halloween 2003 in Dyeland.  The Dyelanders decide to be a lil more considerate of Andrew with their Halloween celebration. 

December 24, 2003- A distressed Andrew has a very Scrooge-like dream in "JABB's A Christmas Carol."

January 2004- Knowing Andrew had long wanted a dog, LJA adopted a puppy named Lulu for him.  When Andrew is on assignments where he cannot bring Lulu, LJA and/or Rose take care of the basset hound.  And you can finally read about it courtesy of "Friend of My Soul."

February 6, 2004- As their father tends to their dying mother, Isra distracts and calms Salma by recounting her birth on the eve of her birthday.  ("Chrysalis")
 
Spring 2004- Given Owen had only been living in the Tunnels for a few months during the September 2004 portions of "The Scientist," I think it can be assumed that Vincent found him around this time.  Owen had fled his family's home a few weeks beforehand.
 
September 2004- Andrew learns about LJA's eating disorder after he comes to bring her back to Dyeland following a summer largely spent in the Tunnels.  They have an ugly fight but then, for the first time, LJA declares her love in "The Scientist."

September 20, 2004- "Happy Birthday, Andrew!" finds our AOD enjoying a potluck barbecue with friends on his special day.

September 26, 2004- Shelby is born.  Her parents' names were Sandra and Corey and her brother Asher was around 9 at the time.  They lived in a small apartment in NYC.  ("Trick-or-Treating")

October 2004- In "Halloween Comes to Dyeland," the Dyeland Halloween celebration is once again re-evaluated.  Earlier in the month, Vincent happened upon one of Andrew's assignments and ended up lending comfort to a dying girl per "Anniversary." 

October 31, 2004- I'm gonna say this is the Halloween that Asher recollects in "Trick-or-Treating."

December 2004- In "Christmas Memories," Andrew and his friends gather together to share about their favorite holiday memories.
 
January 2005- Andrew, LJA, and Jess watch the trailer for John Dye's latest film in "Watching the HOTB Trailer."  Awkwardness ensues.

March 17, 2005- LJA thinks back on Andrew's arrival exactly 5 years before in "St. Patrick's Day in Dyeland."

May 2005- Andrew is put on trial for murder. ("Nor Iron Bars a Cage")

June 2005- Andrew and LJA have a heart-to-heart after she watches HOTB in the stunningly titled "Andrew and JenniAnn Talk About HOTB."  ::shakes head:: 

August 2005- In "A Walk in the Woods," Andrew and LJA bid each other good bye when she leaves Dyeland for a time.

August-Autumn 2005- Though exact dates are unknown, Arthur volunteered with the recovery efforts post-Hurricane Katrina.  ("Shelter from the Storm")

October 31, 2005- In "Dyeland's October Fun Festival," Andrew is left to plan the annual Halloween festivities since LJA is still gone.  Also, we learn Kathleen has been reformed.

November 1, 2005- Lady Beth arrives in Dyeland.  She talks about how she came to be there in "On a Dark and Stormy Night."

December 2005- In an untitled story that's really more a series of vignettes; Tess organizes a Christmas pageant, Bennie pesters the Dyelanders, LJA crazily declares her undying love for Andrew, and he gets to play Santa.

January 1, 2006- Andrew narrates "How I Rang in 2006"... apparently aiding tipsy friends.

January 6, 2006- Andrew's friends throw him a party on a notable train in "Ten Years Since TOTGA."

January 2006- LJA is traumatized when she mistakes a harrowing fanfic for Andrew's journal in "Go Ask Andrew aka When Fanfic Attacks."

February 2006- In "An Uninvited Guest," Nadia, a Dyelander, is getting married.  The problem?  Her fiance doesn't want Andrew there...

April 1, 2006- In "April Fool's Day," the Dyelanders work together on a prank when one of their friends returns.

May 2006- When Andrew tried to teach LJA to drive per "Anniversary." 

June 2006- In "For Thou Art With Me," when the Dyelanders stage a production of The Crucible, Andrew tells them about an assignment he had during the witch trials.  Later that month, LJA interviewed "The AOD Band."

July 19, 2006- "On a Dark and Stormy Night"... the Dyelanders try to celebrate JABB's anniversary.

September 2006- In "Object A and Co. in the Fields of Gold," the Dyelanders mistakenly believe Andrew is going away just before his birthday.

October 2006- After a bit of an absence, Yva returns to Dyeland.  This is also when Lady Beth's memory of Andrew spending time with her after her amnesia is set per
"Anniversary." 

October 18, 2006- Nigel arrives in Dyeland.

October 31, 2006- In "Halloween Night 2006," the Dyelanders try to give death a good reputation.  Not as weird as I now realize it sounds...

November 2006- For lack of a better term, Andrew has a breakdown following an especially tragic assignment.  He alienates most everyone in Dyeland for a while but they bring him around.  There is no story about this but there is a brief outline of those events in "Safe" as well as a flashback dream LJA has about that period.  "Friend of My Soul" also examines this period briefly.  Turns out Andrew knew exactly what he needed in order to cope... he just wouldn't let it happen.

December 2006- Andrew, Jess, Lady Beth, and LJA decide to watch "The Journalist" together.  Kinda awkward...  This is also around when Yva reconciles with Andrew and Nigel receives a tour of Dyeland from the AOD per "Anniversary." 

December 16, 2006- It's really stupid that I'm putting this here but... this is the first time Andrew uses "Laja" to reference LJA.  The reason I'm putting this here is because every freaking time I have to do a flashback, I always have to check the YG archives to see if it's "JenniAnn" era or "Laja" era for Andrew.  And that's getting really old.  So now I can just look here and not deal with YG's glitchy search engine.  Yay.

Christmas 2006- Grateful for their support during his breakdown, Andrew hosts his friends for the annual Dyeland Christmas party in "A Second Chance Christmas."
This is probably also the Christmas Asher recalls in "Trick-or-Treating".
 
2007- At some point prior to September 26, 2007, Shelby's and Asher's parents, Sandra and Corey are killed in a car crash that their children survive.  It had to be prior to Shelby's third birthday since she was two when they passed.  The children were then placed in foster care before making their way to the Tunnels, at some point no later than Shelby's fourth birthday.  ("Trick-or-Treating")

March 2007- Vincent writes LJA a letter in which he explains how they met... and how she nearly ended up as his daughter.

April 1, 2007- Rose arrives in Dyeland.  She recalls first meeting Andrew in "Anniversary." 

Spring 2007- The entire Andi debacle begins around here ("The Masquerade Ball and Other Events"). 

May 2007- Yva interviews Adam about his work as an AOD and life in Dyeland.

June 2007- After some harrowing events as his wedding date approaches (the whole Andi nearly exposing his existence thing), Vincent has a dream about how life would be were he normal looking.  It ain't pretty.  ("Measuring a Life")

June 30, 2007- Catherine and Vincent get hitched.

July 2007- Andrew and JenniAnn have some awkward fun in "De-Spamming with Andrew."

July 19, 2007- The Dyelanders prepare for their anniversary celebration but don't know where Andrew is in "Anniversary."  They reflect on their time with him.

Late summer 2007 through February 12th, 2008- This time period encapsulates JenniAnn's and Eliot's brief relationship.  Aided by Mick, LJA came to realize that she was really in love with Andrew and just staying with Eliot as an attempt to have a normal life.  ("God Only Knows")  In "Friend of My Soul," Andrew and JenniAnn have a heart-to-heart and mend their relationship after her break-up with Eliot.
 
September 2007- Mick and Beth remeet.  (Pilot episode of Moonlight)

September 26, 2007- Willy arrives in Dyeland.

October 2007- The Dyelanders are invited to a dubious award show called "The JABBies."

October 10, 2007- The Dyelanders gather for "Adam's Birthday Surprise."

October 28, 2007- LJA interviews Andrew about life as an AOD... and Halloween.

October 31, 2007- The Dyelanders celebrate Halloween at Willy's factory shortly after it opens in "Halloween's Sweet Surprises."

December 2007- Via divine intervention, Mick basically falls into Dyeland in "Dream".  Later that month, Adam consoles LJA in "Great Spirit" after she receives a disheartening email.  (Please note that story was partially inspired by actual emails I received after Charles Rocket's death so it's got real-life mixed in and thus may be difficult for some.)

Early July, 2009- Andrew and LJA took a roadtrip to Georgia to deliver some letters a dying man asked Andrew to bring to his estranged brother, Hank.  This marks the first time LJA ever saw kudzu and, despite the problems it causes, she loved it.  So for her birthday, Andrew planted some on Serensylvana where it remains... having taken over the island.  But she still loves it.  LJA told Owen this story in August 2012 whilst Andrew was in Afghanistan.   ("Abide With Me")  We finally get a real glimpse of that trip in  "Friend of My Soul."  Looking back on it in 2015, Andrew and JenniAnn realize they met a now familiar face back then... Kemara!  

August 2009- Rose and LJA seek shelter in Andrew's basement during a storm and he learns about "The T-Shirt of Many Names."  That month also found LJA struggling to get through to a student, Amy, who is succumbing to an eating disorder.  She and Andrew think back on LJA's own battle with anorexia in "The Scientist."

August 12, 2009- Monica is assigned to the nursery of a Pennsylvania hospital.  She cares for a baby boy whose mother hasn't decided whether to keep him or let him be adopted.  For two days she tends to him and then, on the third morning, finds him gone since his mother took him home.  Five years later, she would discover the little one was Arthur's son, Liam.  ("A Stor Mo Chroi")   Isra's lessons are coming along very well and she's able to read The Cat and the Hat with little help.  During a break, she asks Behnam if he would take her with him if he could get to America.  He says he would and that she would be free, their marriage not recognized, and she could live with Badriya.  Isra comes to realize that she's in love with him.  That night, Behnam has a terrible nightmare about Badriya.  Isra consoles him and tells him that she loves him.  Behnam confesses that he loves her, too.  They settle into bed together and decide to consummate their marriage the following night.  ("Hope and Healing")

August 14, 2009- The morning after he and Isra make love, Behnam prays that it hadn't been a mistake and that Isra hadn't slept with him because she was obligated as his wife.  When she wakes up, Isra is at first quite content but then she begins to cry.  Behnam is horrified and apologetic but Isra insists she wanted him and still does... she's just realizing so many others in their village don't share their mutually desired, pure love.  Behnam comforts his wife.  From there on out, they celebrate August 13th as their anniversary, not the day they were married.  ("Hope and Healing")

October 25-31, 2009- The Dyelanders attend a Renaissance Faire in Kansas.  While there, LJA meets a psychic named Myrna.  Myrna foretells that Andrew will propose... and that something bad will befall him.  LJA dismisses the prediction given its romantic undertones.  However, at the Halloween party, Andrew *proposes* they travel to Wisconsin.  LJA is haunted by his choice of words and how they echo Myrna.  She begins to fear for him.  In Kansas, Myrna discovers a drawing of Andrew in her ancestress' keepsakes.  Thus we learn that Myrna is a descendant of Andrew's assignment in 1651: Hope Lewis.  ("Be Thou My Vision")

November 18, 2009- Andrew departs Dyeland for an assignment.  Meanwhile, Vincent and Father inform their Tunnel community about vicious attacks being perpetrated against the homeless.  ("In the House of the Lord")

November 18-25, 2009- Andrew is homeless and living on the streets of NYC with his assignments: Ryan, Crystal, and Maggie.  The Dyelanders learn of this and try to do everything they can for him, including watching over him at the Phoenix when possible.  The attacks escalate.  ("In the House of the Lord")

November 25-December 3, 2009- Andrew is attacked in the very early hours of the 25th, leaving his right arm broken.  He is briefly hospitalized but then released to the care of the Dyelanders gathered at the Phoenix.  He spends the next several days resting, concluding his assignment, and testifying in court.  On the 3rd, Andrew runs into Myrna and her grand-daughter.  He learns of their connection to Hope and is given a letter that Hope wrote him that has surprising resonance with his recent experiences.  Shaken and still wearied, Andrew is persuaded by the Dyelanders to go Home.  ("In the House of the Lord")  The first part of "The Altar" takes place during the brief period between Andrew being attacked and regaining consciousness.  In that story, LJA goes to the hospital chapel to pray... and possibly say good bye.  In "The Coffee Summit," God uses Monica's gift of seeing the past to allow her a glimpse of JenniAnn's breakdown in the chapel.
 
December 6, 2009- Andrew is welcomed back to Dyeland.  Since his arm remains in a cast, he is given time off to rest there.  In the weeks that follow, Andrew struggles with his limited abilities thanks to the broken arm.  During this time, Andrew also begins to ponder a major-ish life change.  ("The Past, the Present, the Future")

December 22, 2009- Still with his cast, Andrew returns to his work as an angel.  ("The Past, the Present, the Future")

December 24, 2009- God gives Andrew a vision that, among other things, shows LJA with two children, Rose, Yva, Vincent, Jacob, and Catherine still very much a part of Dyeland, and Mick and Beth with one child and another on the way.  It's unknown how literally true the vision is.  ("The Past, the Present, the Future") 
 
January 6, 2010- Andrew's cast is removed!

February 8-14, 2010- Andrew and LJA interview their friends about various types of love for their annual Valentine's documentary and the latter learns more than she bargained for when Mick reveals that Andrew is considering going "deep cover" and aging along with the Dyelanders.  Eli ends up assigned to Andrew and Co. to help them make peace with this.  In the days that follow, Andrew meets with his friends to discuss his decision.  As of autumn 2013, he has not yet made the request of the Father but knows he will at some point... soon.  In this story, Mick and Beth also break up... for a time.  ("When You Are Real")

April 2010- In "The Butterfly," Andrew helps LJA work through her feelings and anger about the sexual abuse allegations in the Catholic Church and how poorly many were handled.  Meanwhile in Manhattan, Fr. Mike is struggling to come to terms with the same and with the pain of some of his own parishioners.  He gets a very special visitor...  Later that month, in a far lighter moment, "Andrew Watches a Bunch of TV" with LJA in prep for his assignment as a Media Studies professor.  LJA learns something very interesting about the AOD.  Still later, Andrew tells Shelby about his assignment with President Lincoln in "The Penny."  In "Hope and Healing," when about seven months pregnant, Isra is devastated when another girl in the village dies with her baby because she was far too young to carry a child.  Behnam comforts his wife and vows again to get her and their child to some place safe so they never face such cruel abuse.
 
Circa Spring 2010- Per "The Story of Eilish/Elise." this was when Eilish first glimpsed Andrew after a terrible prom night prank.

June 5, 2010- In "Hope and Healing," Isra brings Aiyla ("moonlight" to connect her with her aunt Badriya ["full moon"]) into the world.  The midwife and Behnam's aunt are disappointed over the baby being a girl but Isra and Behnam deem her perfect.

June 18, 2010- Andrew and LJA pay a visit to Raquel Seywell who asks them, and their friends, to be there when she weds Capt. Nico Moretti during a Caribbean cruise.  Thus, Andrew and Co. are invited along with many acting as members of the wedding party.  ("Where You Go, I Will Go")

August 22-31, 2010- Raquel and Nico are married on August 26th.  During the course of the trip, the Dyelanders reconnect after a few months of drifting.  But things with Monica are still strained.  ("Where You Go, I Will Go")

September 3, 2010- The Dyelanders have a post-cruise party at the Cafe and Monica comes back into the fold!  ("Where You Go, I Will Go")

October 2010- After being away for a number of years, Bennie, a former Dyelander, returns briefly for lunch with LJA and Rose in "A Moment of Grace."  The reunion does not go well when she refuses to believe that Andrew isn't romantically involved with LJA, Monica, or anyone.  Turns out Bennie had feelings for Andrew.  She leaves in a huff and wasn't seen... for a while.

October 3, 2010- In "The Coffee Summit," Tess "kidnaps" LJA and Monica and leaves them at a Panera that they later learn is in Colorado.  Why?  Because God told her to in order to get JenniAnn and Monica to discuss their differences and make peace since the tension was going to distress Andrew.  And it wasn't real fun for either of them... or Joshua.  So the two do have a heart-to-heart and by the end of the day are good friends again.  While they're doing that, Joshua meets with Andrew to prepare him for his time in West Hollow.

October 8, 2010- This is probably when Andrew arrived in West Hollow since he'd been working there two weeks already when "Safe" opens on October 22nd.

October 22-31, 2010- Andrew has a lengthy assignment in the town of West Hollow, IA.  A serial rapist has been attacking young women and Andrew (as a cop) teams up with officer Jonah Webb to try to find the man before he hurts anyone else.  Meanwhile, the Dyelanders decide to join Andrew when it becomes obvious the assignment has shaken him to the core and raises concerns that he'll once again withdraw from them.  ("Safe")

Christmas 2010- The gang gathers for their annual Christmas tree decorating and in the course of the evening each one of them has a vision of their Christmas Future.  These visions aren't necessarily accurate... but there's a good chance they are.  In Andrew's vision, the friends all still gather together to celebrate.  Mick (who has been cured) and Beth have two boys.  Adam's still playing Santa.  Yva's become a minister.  Monica and Tess are there.  Rose, her husband, and her two children are present.  Shelby and Jacob have grown into happy, helpful young people.  Adam and Eli have taken on some supervising duties.  Nigel has acclimated some more to the modern world.  Willy has found peace as has C.J.  Josef continues to strive to free victims of human trafficking, forever carrying his love for Sarah in his heart.  Logan has been cured and become engaged.  Vincent is in charge of the Tunnel Council and he and Catherine are still madly in love.  Lady Beth finds a greater sense of joy.  LJA has adopted two children, Annabelle and Avi, and remains in love with Andrew... his aging doing nothing to dampen her affections.  And, as always, the Father watches over them all with love.  ("To Be With You")

January 11, 2011- This is another one that may be difficult for some to read due to the necessary blending of fiction and reality.  In "On This Side," Andrew is pulled off an assignment and brought back to Dyeland by Adam in order to help the girls cope with news of John Dye's death.  It was my therapy...

February 9-14, 2011- In "The Unbroken Circle," Andrew and JenniAnn lead Valentine's interviews with their friends one final time.  Their annual video also serves as a tribute to Mr. Dye.  On Valentine's Day, Shelby finds a beautiful sign from God.

March 17, 2011- "In the Fields of Gold" intersperses scenes from the Dyelanders' annual anniversary/St. Patrick's Day party and Andrew's memories of what was going on in his life when he first arrived in Dyeland (think "Pandora's Box.")

April 2011- In "A Shorts Story," we learn why Andrew so seldom wears shorts.

April 26, 2011- In "Promotion Day," LJA frets that Andrew may get another promotion and be separated from the Dyelanders.  God envisions a future promotion for Andrew.

May 2011- In "Andrew's First (Dyeland) Haircut," LJA has to cut Andrew's hair after he has a chewing gum snafu.  Adam serenades them during the hair cutting.

June 2011- This is when the second part of "The Altar" is set.  LJA learns what became of the locket she left on the altar... Andrew woke up with it.  In "Abide With Me," we learn what ultimately became of the locket.

July 4, 2011- Shelby's growing up and with that comes some worry.  In "Never Alone," she's troubled by the idea that Andrew has to be on the front during wars.  He tells her how important it is that those who serve their country are never alone.

Summer 2011- Andrew and LJA go to speak to her Grandma Chandler in "Guess Who's Coming for Coffee?"  She is not thrilled by their relationship.  "Friend of My Soul" picks up with a scene of Andrew and JenniAnn back at Willowveil after that stressful coffee visit.  They get quite cuddly as they plan for their future.
 
August 2011- Andrew and some of the Dyelander ladies go with Beth to pick out bridesmaid dresses.  Andrew's there to be "the unbiased male viewpoint."  He winds up counseling a stressed bride named Flora.  ("The Greatest of These")

September 11, 2011- Shelby is confused by the occasion and the emotions of the adults in her life on the 10th anniversary of 9/11.  As they console and keep her close, Andrew and JenniAnn reflect on their memories from that horrible day and those that followed in "In the Palm of His Hand."

September 20, 2011- The gang is celebrating Andrew's birthday when he receives a mysterious and comforting gift: images of the future in "Andrew's Birthday Quilt."

November 2011- The Dyelanders and L.A. set gather to celebrate Mick's birthday at a club.  Violeta is distressed when a man comes onto her in a pushy fashion.  Andrew intervenes.  ("The Greatest of These")

December 2011- For several years, the Dyelanders have decked their tree with ornaments representing each of them.  They also include some ornaments as tributes to those who touched their lives and have gone Home.  In "Love Came Down," Joshua helps Andrew to create such an ornament to honor John Dye.

February 13, 2012- Beth and Mick get married.  Andrew officiates.  The evening before, Andrew and Josef have a heart-to-heart as the latter struggles with memories of Sarah.  ("The Greatest of These")

Spring 2012- Andrew returns to Dyeland after witnessing the carnage in Syria in "Being There."

June 2012- After JenniAnn and Andrew spend some time pondering fairy tales, they decide there's a lot of similarity between their group of friends and "Beauty and the Beast."  Shortly thereafter, a rose appears in Andrew's house... seemingly from the Father.  Initially it's all white but then a single petal turns red.  Hmm...  More on the rose later!  ("Tale as Old as Time")  Andrew remembers the conversation that followed the next morning, with Shelby and Rose included, in "Abide With Me".
 
July 2012- Andrew and LJA look through old letters and such while waiting for a storm to blow over.  Andrew hears the Father asking him to trust Him and the AOD agrees to do whatever God asks of him.  He then asks LJA to promise him to never lose hope... no matter what.  ("The Storm")  Only a few days later, Andrew is sent to Afghanistan.  Joshua recalls Andrew's acceptance of the request in "Abide With Me".

July 24, 2012- We don't know how LJA celebrated her 30th birthday exactly but in "Abide With Me", she and Andrew reminisce about how they danced until midnight.  So there was definitely that.  
 
July 31, 2012- Andrew is given an assignment as an Army medic in Afghanistan.  On July 31st, he and another soldier (Max Remus) are taken as POWs.  Andrew returns to Dyeland and first tells LJA of what's happened.  She alerts the others and they have a five hour send-off for Andrew... with lots of hugs and tears and promises and prayers.  Adam and Monica take over Violeta's training during this time.  ("Abide With Me")

August 1, 2012- Andrew tends to an injured Max and the two exchange the very limited information they have about their captors.  Back in Dyeland, Vincent discovers that LJA's been having seizures so he and Yva persuade her to come Below.  Later, Catherine and Vincent discuss the legacy of their struggles and share their hope that Andrew will return soon and be healed by the love of his friends... and them by his love.  ("Abide With Me")

August 2, 2012- Max's condition deteriorates.  After he finally falls asleep, Andrew does, too, and dreams of being back at Willowveil with LJA and Shelby.  ("Abide With Me")
 
August 5, 2012- In an effort to help the others make sense of what's happening, Vincent gives a lecture on Afghanistan's history.  Meanwhile, Catherine becomes lost in thought and worries for her friends.  At this point, Owen and LJA have moved Above to Catherine's apartment so LJA can be under the same stars as Andrew.  Yva's spending increased time with Vincent, following him around and seemingly unable to be by herself.  Adam appears and tells Catherine that he's been assigned to a medical unit in Afghanistan.   ("Abide With Me")

Early August, 2012- This is when the Adam and LJA segment of "The Storm" is set.  They enter Serendipity to tend to some things during Andrew's absence and find some gifts he'd been making before he was sent away.

August 7, 2012- A gash on Max's leg has become infected and, stripped of his medical supplies, Andrew can only pray that he be healed.  When the delirium lifts, Max tells Andrew about his dreams and about his life... including about his absentee mother and negligent father.  While they're talking, a bottle of penicillin is rolled into the cave where they're being held.  Its origins are a mystery to them.    ("Abide With Me")

August 19, 2012- LJA and Owen have been living in Catherine's apartment for a while.  Convinced his friend's not being helped by this arrangement, Owen tries to convince LJA to return to Dyeland.  Ultimately, he persuades her by telling her that Shelby would feel better in Dyeland.  So the two girls wind up staying in LaClytie for a bit... something LJA is initially reluctant about given it's overgrown with kudzu that Andrew planted for her and, thus, is filled with her memories of him.  In Afghanistan, Max is getting frustrated with Andrew's lack of self-revelation.  So he asks about the pouch of jewelry Andrew's been keeping which leads to the angel talking to Max about his family back in Dyeland.  By the end of the conversation, they're officially friends.  Yay!    ("Abide With Me")

August 20, 2012- Andrew has been away for nearly three weeks... and, as Max sleeps, the angel begins to panic over this fact.  At some point in Dyeland's early days, God had promised that Andrew would never be away from those girls for more than three weeks unless they chose the separation.  LJA was among those girls... the sole one remaining in near-constant contact with Andrew.  Thus, Andrew is plagued by the idea that the promise to her will be broken... and her broken with it.  He also assumes, rightly, that LJA told the other girls about the "three week promise."  So he fears they will all be heartbroken by the idea that God broke a promise.  Sure enough, back in LaClytie, LJA has remembered the promise and cries herself to sleep at the thought of its being broken and remaining separated from Andrew.  But then she wakes up on a kudzu-covered island not entirely unlike her own... and Andrew is there.  They both assume it's a dream.  Nonetheless, she tells Andrew about what's going on with the family.  Andrew tells her about Max... keeping the details out.  And then LJA begins to fade and Andrew wakes up in the cave.  He and Max talk briefly... and then their four captors burst in.  ("Abide With Me")

August 21, 2012- LJA meets up with the other 4 ladies at the Cafe in Dyeland.  Together they conclude that the dream she had was real and God's fulfillment of the three week promise.  They decide to use the dreams to deliver messages, from all of them, to Andrew via LJA.  ("Abide With Me")

August 23, 2012- Andrew's and Max's captors have them on the move.  To hopefully help facilitate a rescue, Andrew begins dropping insignia for searchers to find.  After being cast into a cellar, the two discuss their current situation and a mysterious woman who has been walking with the captors.  Andrew believes it was her who provided the penicillin.  ("Abide With Me")

September 5, 2012- Another storm struck Dyeland, causing minor damage.  As Adam sweeps up some broken glass at Andrew's house, he considers what all has happened in the month plus that Andrew's been away.  He's pleased that everyone's mostly doing okay and showing signs of promise.  Unfortunately, Violeta has become withdrawn.  She's perpetually looking for Andrew and, while performing assignments admirably, not really bonding with anyone.  Also at Serendipity and helping with clean up, Rose and LJA notice that Andrew's rose has become more red.  One petal even changes right before their eyes.  At the same time, Andrew is struggling to sleep when he hears a woman crying.  She turns out to be the wife of one of their captors and she tries, unsuccessfully, to break Andrew and Max out.  Andrew then recalls that he was sent to the woman's grandmother on her deathbed.  The girl saw him and thus thinks Andrew is Azrael, the angel of death in Islam.  And then remembers her name: Badriya.  He gives her his name, clarifying that he is an AOD but not Azrael.  Badriya then has to rush off and Andrew prays that both she and Max be spared from the rage he's sure is coming.  ("Abide With Me")

September 6, 2012- Max paces the cellar, trying to make sense of a recent experience.  After being hauled out of the cellar and interrogated, one of the captors started beating him... but Max didn't feel any of the blows.  And yet when they return Andrew, he's been horribly beaten.  Max tends to him and is bothered by why he was protected and Andrew wasn't.  To stave off a possible concussion, Andrew tells Max more about his friends and the complicated family tree they have.  Back in Dyeland, the ladies discuss the meaning of the rose and try to help LJA make sense of the dream she and Andrew shared.  Then they pray together.  ("Abide With Me")

September 9, 2012- Andrew and LJA dream of being together on the island again.  As before, they exchange updates (Andrew barely so) and LJA delivers messages from the others.  Then LJA announces that she's come to believe the dreams are really happening.  It takes Andrew a moment but he begins to trust in this, too.  He then tells her the story of an assignment he worked on with Adam, with the two acting as carnies, sharing two tidbits of info that only Adam would know.  LJA's then supposed to share the story, withholding the two tidbits, and see if Adam can correctly fill in the blanks and, in this way, prove the reality of the dream.  Unfortunately, this leaves Andrew to rely on faith but he accepts this and even welcomes it since, up until that point, the ladies have always had to live by faith while he had knowledge.  And then they wake up...  That morning, LJA tells the story... and Adam correctly fills in the blanks and recognizes that it's Andrew's way of verifying his own identity.  ("Abide With Me")

September 11, 2012- Andrew and Max discuss where they were on 9-11.  Max reveals that he decided on that day, at age twelve, to eventually join the Army and defend the States.  To comfort themselves, the two sing Springsteen's "Land of Hope and Dreams."  Back in Dyeland, Andrew's friends are watching the TV in horror as news of the attack in Benghazi unfolds.  It seems to be the last straw for Owen who breaks down, wishing Andrew and the other angels could just be done with the mess that is humanity.  He's strongly chastened and then gently comforted by Adam.  That night in Afghanistan, Badriya again visits Andrew.  She tells him she will soon be going "away" because she hasn't been able to conceive and her husband is angry.  In an effort to give her peace, Andrew leads a prayer which she joins in on.  They exchange "I love yous" and then Badriya flees again.  ("Abide With Me")

September 20, 2012- Andrew's birthday.  His friends spend the day helping others out in his honor.  However, they can't fully escape their sadness.  By that evening, JenniAnn and Rose are on shaky emotional ground so Owen convinces them to go out for dinner... and then they end up at a tattoo parlor.  Max presents Andrew with a handmade initial charm he made for the occasion.  Naturally, this really touches Andrew.  The two hope for a better birthday to come.  ("Abide With Me")

September 29, 2012- Thinking about Andrew and the suffering he must be experiencing, Raquel feels pulled to call LJA.  Picking up on the younger woman's distress, Raquel decides to move to Dyeland for a couple weeks to lend and receive moral support from the others who love Andrew.  In anticipation of that, the Dyelander ladies help LJA and Shelby get moved back into Willowveil.  That night, another dream comes.  When Andrew initially sees LJA's tattoo, he jumps to the conclusion that it's a bruise and some guy hit her.  This prompts him to reveal that he's afraid he might go crazy.  She tries to console him and passes along everyone's messages.  Andrew verifies that he is dropping insignia as they move.  And then there's a lotta G-rated kissing.  When Andrew wakes up, he learns he missed a visit from his and Max's unkindly hosts and that they're on the move soon.  Upon waking, LJA shares her concerns with the four other ladies.  ("Abide With Me")

October 1, 2012- Andrew and Max are in a new location, trying to make sense of what's happening.  Andrew is torn about the fact that Badriya is still journeying with them and her terrible husband.  Running low on insignia, Andrew decides to start dropping the jewelry his friends gave him.  ("Abide With Me")

October 4, 2012- Back at Willowveil, Shelby freaks out when Andrew's pocket watch stalls.  LJA replaces the battery and calms the girl down but soon after has a panic attack of her own.  She runs to the castle chapel and rails at Jesus, deeply disturbed by the fact that God died and so that makes her unsure of Andrew's immortality.  Thankfully, Raquel arrives just in time to help her recover.  In Afghanistan, Andrew is disoriented and sluggish after falling and hitting his head.  Nonetheless, he awakes to hear Badriya screaming as her husband beats her.  Frantic, he tries to break out of the barn where he and Max are being held.  Max gets him settled down and, for the first time, leads their prayers.  ("Abide With Me")

October 12, 2012- Dyeland is in the midst of an ugly fall... cold, autumn leaves brought down before they had a chance to change, dreary.  Trying to make the best of it; Rose, Raquel, and LJA discuss Halloween plans.  They're interrupted when Adam arrives.  He asks the girls to identify a couple items: Andrew's crystal dove charm from Below and his horseshoe from C.J.  ("Abide With Me")

October 15, 2012- Andrew realizes that it's been around 75 days since he and Max were captured.  While his assignment sleeps, Andrew day dreams about the future... including his hope that Badriya will be free to pursue her dreams.  He thanks God for the friendships he has for the women in his life... and that they value him as a friend and equal, not someone to show deference to as Badriya is forced to with her husband.  And then he prays for Badriya and Max and asks God to use him to help the two find love and home.  ("Abide With Me")

October 18, 2012-  When a deal goes bad, the captors turn on Andrew and badly beat him.  Max prays and, desperate for a way to help Andrew, draws a labyrinth on the cave floor for him.  Though wounded, Andrew finds peace in "walking" the labyrinth.  ("Abide With Me")

 October 19, 2012- Andrew and LJA meet up in a dream again.  Andrew confesses that the situation may be bleaker than he supposed.  LJA begins to give him everyone's messages but then Andrew becomes agitated.  He hears voices and soon awakens to find himself back in the cave.  He sees two men drag Max out and, just before they kick the man, Andrew (in angelic form) throws himself on Max and takes the blow.  Back in Dyeland, LJA wakes up sobbing.  She awakens Raquel who comes to pray with her.  Adam, Monica, Tess, and Violeta all show up to join in.  Together they sing "Abide With Me".  In Afghanistan, Max is tending to Andrew who is in severe pain and struggling to breath.  Inexplicably, he starts singing the hymn in spite of his condition.  Once he drifts to sleep, Max calls out to Rose, assuring her that he'll do whatever he can to get Andrew home and he tells her to keep praying.  Having joined the others at Willowveil, Rose seems to hear this on some level.  She feels calm and more sure that Andrew will be okay.

October 31, 2012- Because they don't want to celebrate in their typical way sans Andrew, the Dyelanders and their friends gather at Willy's factory for their Halloween celebration.  Adam arrives and takes JenniAnn to a more private vestibule... he's found what he suspects is Andrew's ring and needs her to ID it.  She does and, with this, they both suspect that Andrew is out of "bread crumbs" and he and Max have become harder to track.  ("Abide With Me")

November 7, 2012- Badriya is killed by her husband when she tries to protect Andrew.  The angel won't learn the truth about how she died until November 28th when Joshua shares his own memories of that day and the three that followed with Andrew.  ("Abide With Me") 

November 8, 2012- Andrew has now been missing for over 100 days and another dream is due.  Violeta and Adam sit together in a hospital chapel.  She thanks him for taking her under his wing and shares how much she's learned from him... including how love and loss are intrinsically linked in the mortal realms.  Violeta also realizes how, like Andrew and Adam, she's becoming more bound to their human friends.  Having seen and cared for so many wounded soldiers during their assignment, Violeta is worried that Andrew's mind may be shattered when he does finally return.  Adam assures her that, no matter what, they'll all take the journey with him.  In Dyeland, JenniAnn is gathered with some of her friends and too anxious to sleep.  They reminisce about Andrew in an attempt to calm her down.  They succeed and she goes to bed.  In their dream, LJA finds a very disturbed Andrew.  He's laying on the ground with unfocused eyes and has begun to believe he's only been imagining her the whole time.  So... she sets up a test and gets Andrew to realize it's all real.  Pained, Andrew admits that he can no longer hear God.  She tries to console him but then darkness envelopes her and Andrew feels like he's suffocating.  He screams Badriya's name and LJA awakens in Dyeland with it ringing in her ears.  She then searches her journal for the name and comes across an entry from September 2001 in which Andrew told her about his assignment with Badriya and her grandma.  Piecing together the info, LJA calls Adam and relays it all to him.  He leaves on a search mission for Andrew and Max while Violeta returns to Dyeland to keep LJA company while they wait.  ("Abide With Me")

November 9, 2012- Adam is searching for Badriya and, by extension, Andrew and Max.  He receives no help from her family home but when he and another officer drive away, a young man blocks their path.  He turns out to be Badriya's brother who has been hoping to rescue her himself.  He gives Adam a map to where he suspects Badriya's husband might be headed.  Adam ends up participating in a helicopter search and four men are spotted.  The Army moves in and takes down the three captors... but they only had Max with them.  Tearfully, Max explains to Adam that they beat Andrew and left him for dead in a cave.   ("Abide With Me")   In "Hope and Healing," after Adam left with information about Andrew's and Max's possible whereabouts from Behnam, the young man confronted his uncle at gunpoint and informed him that he was taking Isra and their daughter back to Isra's father so his wife could give birth to their second child at her home. 

November 10, 2012- Andrew, alone in a cave where the captors dumped him, is reliving flashes of his life.  Just as he's recalling a moment with Joshua, the angel hears approaching voices.  Soon, Adam is beside him.  He and the other rescuers get Andrew into a helicopter.  Adam sings "Abide With Me" for his buddy as he drifts to sleep... finally safe.  In Dyeland, so many of Andrew's friends have gathered that they have to convene in the ballroom.  The emergency phone rings and when LJA answers it, Adam is on the line.  He announces that they have both Andrew and Max at the base... safe.  When the call ends, the ballroom erupts in celebration over the knowledge that Andrew is coming home after 102 days away.  In "Hope and Healing," the reception at Isra's father's house isn't exactly warm.  Her father, Faisal, threatens to shoot Behnam since he believes the man raped his daughter and probably continues to abuse her.  Behnam allows Faisal to take his gun and tie him up while Isra pleads their case.  Moved by Isra's story, Faisal releases Behnam and lets the family stay with him and his younger daughter, Salma. 

November 11, 2012- Behnam and Faisal are outside when they notice a figure approaching.  He introduces himself as Azrael and tells Behnam he has news from God that Behnam should hear with his wife present.  They go inside while Faisal and Salma take Aiyla outside to play.  Azrael tells Behnam about how Badriya died trying to protect Andrew and Max.  Behnam is devastated and can barely speak.  Azrael tells the couple that Andrew and Adam will be bringing Badriya's body for proper burial.  Speaking for her husband, Isra asks if Badriya could be brought to them for burial on her father's land, not their evil uncle's.  Azrael agrees.  He tells Isra that, though her labor will be long, she will deliver a healthy son who will bring their family much joy.  When he disappears, Isra holds her husband as he weeps.  ("Hope and Healing")

November 13/14, 2012- Having now traveled to a base in Germany, Adam appraises Andrew of his physical condition (dehydrated, malnourished, bruised lung, etc.).  Despite the Army's desire to keep him for observations, Andrew wants to go home.  ASAP.  Adam isn't convinced this is a good idea but relents.  Later that night in Dyeland, LJA is struggling to sleep so takes the dogs for a late night walk and... sees the lights on at Serendipity.  She runs there and finds Monica, Tess, and Adam.  Andrew's back!  Tess is initially reluctant to let LJA see him right away but Adam, who is now Andrew's personal physician, insists.  While LJA goes into Andrew's bedroom, the three other angels have a tense scene in the kitchen.  Tess still doesn't think LJA should be there or the others told right away that Andrew is back.  Adam is unmovable while Monica tries to keep the peace.  Tess eventually sees the error in her thinking and apologizes to Adam who, exhausted, falls asleep at the table.  Meanwhile, LJA, Fawn, and Lulu have an affectionate reunion with Andrew.  She verifies for him that the dreams were real.  Reluctant to have her go, Andrew fights the sleep he desperately needs.  LJA offers to stay with him but he refuses due to a sleep terror he had in Germany and his concerns that, if another one struck, he might hurt her.  They compromise with her sleeping in his adjoining office.  In the morning, Andrew and Adam chat in the living room and LJA, scared it was all a dream, runs in on them.  Andrew then explains that the reason he's there and not Home is because he's still assigned to Max.  Soon after, Andrew's friends begin to descend on Serendipity and they all have a joint welcome home/happy belated birthday party with each having some private time to fuss over the angel.  The gang also works out that, at least for some time, a bunch of them will stay over at Serendipity so Andrew is never alone.  ("Abide With Me")

November 15, 2012- Andrew begins his second full day back home.  LJA returns his cell phone to him so he decides to phone Max.  He learns that Max's father has left on a fishing trip until December so Andrew invites Max for Thanksgiving.  Only later does he realize he has no idea how to make that possible.  Thankfully, LJA and the others have already made arrangements with Vincent to use Cora's house for the holiday.  So Andrew and LJA call Max back to formally invite him and he happily accepts.  Unfortunately, Andrew later has his first flashback when Lady Beth accidentally nicks herself while cutting broccoli.  However, by that evening he's feeling better and everyone gathers to put up his Christmas tree and watch the AOD Band perform.  ("Abide With Me")

November 16, 2012- Many of Andrew's house guests return home.  He and LJA take a break from getting the house in order and end up having an emotional conversation in the living room... just in time to get interrupted by an embarrassed Eliot, LJA's ex-boyfriend.  He's come to bring Andrew a walking stick he carved... and to make peace.  Since the break-up, he'd felt awkward visiting Dyeland but missed Andrew and LJA.  The three get things squared away and, when LJA leaves to get cider for all of them, Eliot reveals that he's become engaged to a Tunnel girl named Brittony.  Eliot makes Andrew promise to never cut LJA off or let her drift away from him because Eliot fears she wouldn't survive it.  Andrew makes the vow... and another rose petal turns.  That night, Andrew and some of his friends put up his outdoor Christmas lights... with Owen, Adam, and Violeta surprising Andrew with an amazing synchronized lights and music display.  ("Abide With Me")

November 21, 2012- Andrew has a nightmare about his time in Afghanistan and, during the course of it, punches a hole in his headboard.  LJA, still in the office, wakes up but doesn't know why.  Unable to return to sleep, she invites Andrew to get some warm milk with her.  She notices that his hand is messed up.  He confesses that he had a sleep terror.    They pray for peace for all of them and for a happy Thanksgiving for them and Max and express their gratitude.  Later that morning, Adam is none too happy to hear about Andrew's nocturnal struggles and suggests that maybe he left the hospital too early.  He's the first to outright say that Andrew has PTSD.  That evening, several of them go to Cora's to begin preparation for their Thanksgiving and Max's stay.  "Abide With Me")
 
November 22, 2012- Max comes to stay for a long Thanksgiving weekend at Cora's and is immediately smitten with Rose.  That night, everyone has a massive Thanksgiving dinner and Max discovers that he feels very much at ease with Andrew's family, eventually quipping that he wants Andrew and LJA to adopt him.  Later, Max and Andrew catch each other up on how they're doing and Max admits to having repeated nightmares in which their captors are dragging him away from Andrew.  Andrew asks Max to call him if it happens again.  When they make their way to the room they're sharing, a bear Yva made Max is waiting for him with a Harry Potter scarf Rose made.  Awww.  ("Abide With Me")

November 24, 2012- Max's stay has continued to go very well with everyone marathoning the Harry Potter movies and downing butterbeer.  LJA is giddy because she thinks Max and Rose are falling for each other.  Andrew agrees but is a lil more sedate, not wanting to pressure the would-be couple.  Meanwhile, Max and Rose have their own discussion about the family dynamics... and marriage and children.  But just in general.  Not their own.  They aren't crazy!  After everyone's gone to bed, Andrew and Max struggle to sleep.  They're both bummed about the next day's parting so make plans to get everyone together the following Saturday.  Max tells Andrew that being there and spending time with everyone has given him more hope for his future.  He also confesses that he was really bothered by God sending an angel to protect him but not Andrew.  However, he's come to realize that God was protecting Andrew by giving him those dreams with LJA.  Andrew hadn't thought of it that way and is greatly touched, fully believing in the theory.  ("Abide With Me")

November 25, 2012- The Dyelanders gather to bid an emotional good bye to Max although Rose reiterates that they'll be together that Saturday.  Andrew and Max go outside alone to say their good byes.  Max tells the angel that he's the closest he ever had to a real father.  Andrew then tells Max he loves him which really gets to the young man given his own father never told him that.  They hug and then Max drives off with Andrew watching him go...  Adam, Violeta, Lady Beth, Rose, and LJA all return with Andrew to Serendipity and convince him that they're staying there with him for at least another night.  He's pretty easily convinced and so they all settle in.  ("Abide With Me")

November 26, 2012- LJA is doing laundry when Violeta confronts her, hoping she's staying the night again.  Violeta reveals that she's uneasy with only Tess staying with Andrew because she worries the supervisor isn't always attentive enough.  LJA agrees to stay over.  And then Violeta reveals that, in Earth time, she's only fifteen years old.  She'd let LJA and the others believe she was actually centuries old but she was using timing from another world.  The two are close from then on.  Later, Violeta seeks Andrew's counsel on an upcoming assignment.  Andrew dispels her self-doubts and then, after convincing him he need a nap, Violeta leaves for her assignment.  Andrew awakens to find Rose there.  He tells her he plans to call Max and she, blushingly, asks if she can talk to him.  Andrew assures her that Max would love to spend time with her and he texts her the man's number.  Rose immediately goes off to call him.  The two plan to make their Saturday excursion an all day thing.  When they are able to speak alone, Rose tells Andrew that she's worried because Max admitted to having a nightmare that upset him.  Andrew then calls Max who tells him that his nightmare was about Badriya's death.  Until then, Andrew had blocked almost everything about her and his memory of her death is still inaccessible.  Once they hang up, Andrew tries to remember, feeling he owes it to Badriya but he can't.  He rejoins his friends, allowing their warmth to soothe him.  ("Abide With Me")
 
November 27, 2012- In the early hours, LJA witnesses one of Andrew's worst sleep terrors yet.  He wakes from it but then when she relates what she saw, Andrew has a panic attack.  Once he's calmed, LJA tends to him which frustrates Andrew as he never meant to turn her into his nursemaid.  And in the hall, Tess witnesses a lot of this.  When LJA leaves to get Andrew some water, Tess follows and they have a confrontation in the kitchen.  Tess thinks Andrew needs to be hospitalized, LJA insists they can tend to him.  LJA returns to Andrew's room.  He knows he needs to rest but refuses to sleep so she stays with him and reads the Bible.  Andrew does fall asleep and then Adam returns.  LJA fills him in.  He agrees to let her stay since he's there to intervene if Andrew were to get violent.  Adam takes over reading the Bible.  That morning, Adam convinces Andrew that he needs to talk about what he experienced.  In the other room, Rose, JenniAnn, and Tess talk.  The two women consider whether to tell Max what happened but Tess nixes this, afraid that it will keep Max from confiding in Andrew.  Later that day, Andrew confides more to his friends about what he experienced in Afghanistan, including knowing Badriya was killed.  It's during this conversation that he learns Badriya was the key to LJA passing on info that allowed Adam to find and help rescue Andrew.  Afterwards, Andrew asks LJA to go out with him for dinner and dancing (no matter how I word this, it sounds like they're dating... sorry... they're not!) since she's been cooped up taking care of him for so long.  She agrees and heads back to Willowveil to get ready.  Raquel visits her and is initially worried by the plan, fearing that Andrew might have an episode while they're out.  However, she backs down and sends LJA on her way.  At a restaurant in L.A., Andrew and LJA have a lovely dinner.  When they leave, it's raining so Andrew goes to get the car.  Waiting in the restaurant atrium, LJA is accosted by a man and Andrew loses himself for a time, threatens the man with violence, and then has a panic attack.  LJA distracts him and the loser flees.  In the parking lot, they both tearfully come to the realization that Andrew needs medical help.  LJA agrees to go with him.  Mick and Beth show up to get them back to their apartment to stay for the night.  Once settled in, Andrew confides in Mick, a WWII vet, about all that's been going on.  It's Mick who puts together that Andrew is probably suffering from traumatic brain injury and definitely needs medical attention.  ("Abide With Me") 

November 28, 2012- Andrew and LJA leave L.A. and go to visit Catherine.  It turns out that, since shortly after Andrew left in July, she'd been working on a resource file about PTSD and TBI because she suspected Andrew might be impacted by one or both.  Catherine presents the angel with her file and Andrew decides to consult Dr. Edmund Talson, a friend of hers.  Dr. Talson gives Andrew a general assessment with Adam and LJA present.  While Andrew undergoes an MRI,  Owen, Rose, Yva, Lady Beth, C.J. and Violeta arrive and wait with Adam and LJA in the hospital waiting room.   By the time Dr. Talson returns after reviewing the MRI images, Raquel, Monica, and Tess are gathered with the others in Andrew's hospital room.  Dr. Talson formally diagnoses Andrew as having TBI and PTSD.  That night, with everyone but Andrew returning home, Max calls Andrew's cell.  Because it needed charging, LJA had taken it so answered.  Max unloads on her about how worried he is about Andrew.  In particular, he's distressed by the fact that Andrew has been very coy about where he lives which has made Max believe he's really bad off.  Max also tells LJA about how an angel protected him and not Andrew while they were in Afghanistan.  She puts together that Andrew was that angel.  Not wanting to cause Max any undue worry, she makes the decision to tell him about Dyeland.  Thus, LJA, Rose, and Violeta leave Dyeland to go meet Max near a portal in an alley in Manhattan.  They bring him through and, greeted by Adam, a totally agog Max enters Serendipity with the girls.  Once he's adjusted a bit, they tell him about Andrew's diagnosis.  Adam explains that Andrew needs to remember Badriya's death in order to heal so he leads them all, and many other friends who arrive at that moment, in a prayer for Andrew.  Back at the hospital, Andrew has fallen asleep and finds himself back on the island he dreamed of in Afghanistan.  However, it's not LJA with him but Joshua.   Joshua showsAndrew his own memories of the last days of the angel's captivity.  With Joshua at his side, Andrew sees how he fell while his and Max's captors were moving them.  One man began to beat him and Badriya tried to protect him.  This enraged her husband who subsequently killed her as Andrew tried to break free and save her.  Andrew was then knocked unconscious and dragged into a cave.  Meanwhile, Badriya's spirit appeared back in the valley where she was killed.  Azrael initially appeared to bring her Home.  However, Badriya asked if she could stay with Andrew.  Azrael was thrown by the request but then Joshua appeared.  He spoke to Badriya, who immediately began to worship him, and took her to Andrew.  The two stayed with Andrew for the three days he was in the cave, leaving only when Adam and the others arrived.  Andrew and Joshua are back on the island and the latter tells his angel how proud and pleased he and the Father are.  Andrew asks Joshua if he'll be allowed to stay to continue to help Max.  Immensely pleased, Joshua agrees.  They return to the hospital room where Andrew settles into bed as Joshua sings him his mother's lullaby.  The last thing the AOD feels before going to sleep is Joshua's hand on his forehead and a soothing, healing warmth.  Back in Dyeland, Max sees another petal of the rose turn colors.  ("Abide With Me")

November 29, 2012- The next morning, Andrew packs up the hospital room and Dr. Talson stops by to bid him good bye.  Andrew can tell the physician has something he needs to say.  Dr. Talson reveals that his beloved stepson was the one driving the Army vehicle that Andrew and Max were in when it hit the IED.  Andrew is able to console the doctor with the knowledge that his son died instantly and without pain, helping to save someone else.  They part and Andrew is mobbed by friends in the waiting room.  Andrew returns to Dyeland where he finds that LJA, Rose, and Violeta have introduced Max to their home.  They hug and then everyone has breakfast together.  Max, Harry Potter lover that he is, toasts Andrew as "the bravest man I ever knew."  ("Abide With Me")

Early December, 2012- Andrew and Adam journey back to Afghanistan to meet with Badriya's brother, Behnam, and give her a proper burial.  Meanwhile, Max becomes more and more a part of the Dyelander tribe.  ("Abide With Me")

December 1, 2012- Andrew, Max, and several of the Dyelanders spent a festive day in Manhattan, with many of them ice skating at Rockefeller Center.  Since Andrew's ankle is still wonky, LJA sits it out with him and reveals that she knows he shielded Max while they were Afghanistan.  She asks Andrew if that's why he hasn't yet revealed his identity to Max.  He explains that he knows it's not always easy to discover the lengths someone would go to for you... something he's personally experienced since his friends rallied around him and made so many sacrifices for him.  Andrew also tells LJA something of his healing in the hospital and, though he can't say it, LJA intuits that Jesus healed him.  Later, the gang walks around to admire the Christmas lights.   ("Home for Christmas")  

December 2, 2012- Max is at his home and in a fine mood, mentally reliving the time he's spent with Andrew and the Dyelanders and trying to puzzle out their relationships.  His father, Rex Remus, enters.  Max tries to make plans with him to get a Christmas tree but Rex, though agreeing, doesn't share in his son's enthusiasm.  Rex is also less than respectful about Max's spirituality.  An awkward, silent breakfast ensues.  ("Home for Christmas") 

December 3, 2012- While Andrew attends group therapy at the VA, LJA brings Violeta to see Adam play Santa.  Later, in Serendipity, Violeta is confused about Santa Claus and why people encourage kids to believe in him.  As Andrew listens, LJA explains about St. Nicholas and how the myth that arose around him preserves his important values of generosity and kindness in a way that makes it easier for kids to understand.  Violeta aptly draws a parallel to Andrew withholding his full story from Max for the time being.  Andrew then tells about how, at group, many of the men didn't have holiday plans.  However, he did get the go-ahead for the girls' plan to bring cookies and handmade blankets for the guys.  The angel also reveals that Max seemed down and he suspects his dad stood him up on getting a tree.  The three decide to incorporate Max into their pre-Christmas plans... and LJA vows to get the boy a tree.  ("Home for Christmas") 

December 5, 2012- Six hours after Andrew and Adam leave following Badriya's burial, Isra gives birth to Omar.  Unlike with Aiyla's birth, Behnam is present.  ("Hope and Healing")
 
December 8, 2012- Max comes to Dyeland hoping to visit with Andrew but, finding him not home, he goes to Willowveil with LJA to begin preparing for the tree decorating party.  They have a heart-to-heart about Max's mother and LJA encourages him to pursue things with Rose.  Andrew returns with the ornaments he made, with Eliot's help, for Max: labyrinths with a heart at the center.  LJA gives him a small, potted Christmas tree.  That night, everyone gathers together to decorate the tree.  LJA frets that Max may eventually connect more with his father, thus cutting Andrew out.  Meanwhile, Max asks Andrew if it would be okay to go see a movie with Rose after the party begins to dwindle.  Andrew, of course, assents and counsels Max when his nerves get to him.  Later, Andrew and LJA are reading the Bible at his place when Max shows up aglow after a wonderful first date.  Because his father skipped town, Andrew invites Max to stay over so he does.  Happiness all around... even if LJA and Andrew are considerably ticked at Rex.  ("Home for Christmas") 

December 15, 2012- The friends gather for some baking, blanket making, and faux-gingerbread ornament decorating.  During this activity, Andrew invites Max (and his dad) to Christmas with them at Cora's.  Max readily agrees... although with some reservations about his dad's behavior which Rose quickly shrugs off.  When Max returns home, however, he finds that his dad has gone... for real.  Taking only his Christmas tree, Max flees.  Driving recklessly, Max considers suicide but then has a vision of the pain that would cause Andrew, Rose, LJA, and Adam.  He doesn't go through with it and, instead, receives the command to drive and, thus, heads to the portal and Dyeland.  Andrew and LJA are wrapping gifts late into the night when they're surprised by Max's unexpected and disheveled appearance on Andrew's doorstep.  He tells them about his dad and they get him warmed up, settled down, and off to bed.  Later, they meet up in the laundry room where LJA vents her heartbreak over parents who neglect and hurt their children and her own childlessness.  And then Andrew hatches a plan... they're going to parent Max.

 December 16, 2012- That morning, Max finds Andrew and LJA chirpily preparing breakfast.  They tell him that they've decided to celebrate Christmas either at Willowveil or Serendipity and that he's welcome to stay through the holidays.  Andrew vows that Max won't be alone for Christmas and then he invites him to stay at Serendipity until the Spring when they can look into getting Max his own place.  Rose walks in to make a pitch for Selini, near her.  Moved, Max says he'll live anywhere so long as it's in Dyeland with them.  ("Home for Christmas")  Later Max will find a place of his own... near Rose's house.  ("The Keeper's Story")

December 22, 2012- Per "Home for Christmas", the gang caroled at the Phoenix Inn on this day followed by their gift exchange at Willowveil that evening. 
 
December 24, 2012- On Christmas Eve, most of the Dyelanders gather at Serendipity for dinner, caroling, and festive readings.  After they've all gone home and only Max and Andrew are left, the young man tries to call his dad and learns his number has been disconnected.  God prompts Andrew to go back to the living room and speak to Max.  Adam and Violeta appear, aglow, and soon Andrew is glowing, too.  Thus, Max learns Andrew is an angel... the same angel who physically protected him in Afghanistan.  Violeta then explains to Max that Andrew can be a sort of father to him which Andrew himself reiterates when he tells Max about the conversation he had with LJA.  Andrew then goes Home for the first time since his assignment with Max began. 

December 25, 2012- Bright and early the next morning, LJA heads through the tunnel that connects her place to Andrew's.  They'd planned to fill stockings while Max slept.  LJA is surprised to find the tunnel decorated and big band music playing.  And then she sees a healed, ecstatic Andrew.  They dance.  At a more decent hour, the two of them, Max, Rose, Violeta, Adam, and Aunt Josephine share Christmas breakfast and go through their stockings.  Andrew and LJA send Rose and Max on a scavenger hunt through the house.  At the end of it, they learn that Andrew is taking them all to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter courtesy of the gift Mick, Beth, and Josef gave him.  Joshua appears to Andrew and they briefly discuss the rose which has turned a third red.  It seems Joshua had explained the full significance of it when Andrew had returned Home.  Comforted, Andrew looks tenderly upon his friends knowing that they have a merry Christmas day ahead.  ("Home for Christmas")

December 26, 2012- Andrew, JenniAnn, and Max trek to Jersey to gets the latter's things from his father's house.  It's the last time Max goes there.  ("Friend of My Soul")
 
Late January 2013- In "Rapprochement," Max and LJA are going through old photos when he finds one from the time that coincides with TBAA's "Virtual Reality."  This prompts Andrew and LJA to revisit a fight they had after that assignment. 

February 1, 2013- LJA and Rose hit the town to buy clothes for Andrew and Max in preparation for their vacation.  ("Roots and Wings")

February 5-7, 2013- This is when the Dyelanders visit Universal Studios in Orlando.  We learn that Violeta can't handle roller-coasters, Andrew will stick up for your kid if he wants a unicorn, he has no idea how his aging thing will end but is fine with not knowing, and... Hogwarts is way cool.  ("Roots and Wings")

February 13, 2013- Andrew and LJA prepare the annual Valentine's documentary and go over footage and images from the group's trip to Orlando in "Roots and Wings." 

Late February 2013- In "Harry and Psyche," Andrew and LJA are doing some cleaning when a semi-hysterical Max tears into the room.  He's discovered that he and JenniAnn (aka Maja) may have a bit of a shared past.  The story also reveals that, at that point in time, Max had not been brought to the Tunnels though he knew of their existence.  Andrew, LJA, and Rose had decided to wait given the stony, dim setting sometimes gave the former unwelcome flashbacks to Afghanistan. 

March 28, 2013- Max moves out of Serendipity and into his own place on Selini.  ("The Keeper's Story")

March 31, 2013 (Easter Sunday)- In "The Keeper's Story," Andrew reflects on the past few days which included getting Max moved, dealing with LJA's resulting moodiness, and an Easter egg hunt.  Joshua visits the AOD to supply some guidance, lend a listening ear, and dole out a couple revelations.   Joshua allows Andrew to see his memories of January 16, 1987.  He then asks Andrew to do him a favor: "A year from now when you find yourself directing a production of Jesus Christ Superstar, don't listen when your AD tells you that a certain Joshua Davidson is too 'ethnic' and 'burly' for the title role."  This is the first reference to the events that will comprise "The Carpenter."  That morning, Joshua allows Badriya to see the future, specifically Annabelle (her namesake) being rescued by Andrew and JenniAnn.

April 2013- Salma, Faisal, and Aiyla leave home to visit a neighbor while Behnam goes to barter for milk.  Isra is left alone with little Omar.  Shortly after Isra finishes nursing him, Behnam's uncle breaks into the house.  He's enraged when he finds Isra reading and not wearing a burqa.  He attempts to rape Isra but Behnam returns and sees what's happening.  When Isra pushes the man away from her, Behnam fires two shots and kills his uncle.  That night, the family flees and remains on the run for some time.  Sadly, Faisal is killed when their band of refugees is attacked and Salma is believed to have died, too.
("Hope and Healing")
 
April 2, 2013- In "Asking the Answer," Joshua pays Andrew another visit to answer some of the angel's questions.  We learn a bit more about what Joshua's role was in the dreams Andrew and LJA shared in "Abide With Me."  Joshua refers to the dreamworld as "my island of kudzu and stars."  So it's one of his countries, whatever you make of that.  The carpenter also prepares Andrew for any upcoming assignment, the one covered in "Chava."

April 16, 2013- While shopping and generally enjoying life Above, LJA and Owen find a disoriented, elderly woman named Chava.  Once they get her some lunch, she revives and is found to be perfectly lucid.  When she proves reluctant to return to wherever she's been living, the two friends take Chava to Catherine's Phoenix Inn.  Dr. Portia, a Tunnel resident and friend of Owen and LJA, gives her a good bill of health other than needing to rest.  Joe Maxwell arrives, eager to discover whether or not Chava is related to an elder abuse case his office is investigating.  Catherine invites Chava to say at the Phoenix which she readily agrees to.  Once Catherine gets Chava settled, she returns to visit with Portia, Owen, and LJA.  They all decide that the Tunnels may suit Chava more so Portia goes Below to plead her case to Father and Vincent.  The two men hear the physician out and conclude that Chava will be welcomed in the Tunnels if her stay at the Phoenix doesn't work out.

April 17, 2013- LJA has called upon Rabbi Yakov Levine, a Tunnel Helper, to see if he recognizes Chava.  He doesn't but agrees to ask around and visit with Chava after she's had more time to rest... and he manages to console LJA re: her not having kids.  That afternoon, Chava overhears music and finds LJA practicing dancing.  The song, "Bei Mir Bistu Shein," reminds Chava of a time in her past when she was trying to teach a fellow to swing dance.  Back in the present, LJA crashes into some chairs and rouses the elderly woman.  Though LJA does not mention him by name, Chava intuits that Andrew is very important to LJA.  The two women head to the Phoenix's library and share favorite passages until dinner.  ("Chava")
 
April 18, 2013- LJA is awoken by a crying child at the Phoenix.  The girl's mother is already tending to her but LJA discovers that the noise has awoken Chava, too, and that she's become distressed.  Chava doesn't want to talk about what upset her but also doesn't want to sleep so she gets LJA talking about her life and family... and Andrew who the elderly woman wants to meet.  In the morning, Catherine formally invites Chava Below and she accepts.  Later, Owen, LJA, and Catherine bring Chava to the Tunnels.  Father welcomes her and then she meets Vincent... and is soon charmed.  Joined by Mary, they get Chava settled in and then Rabbi Yakov and his wife, Tiva, come to properly welcome Chava.  ("Chava")

April 19, 2013- Andrew returns to Dyeland after a two week long assignment.  He's enthusiastically welcomed back by LJA who tells him about her new friend and her desire for them to meet.  Andrew agrees to an introduction in the Tunnels the following afternoon.    ("Chava")

April 20, 2013- LJA introduces Andrew and Chava.  It doesn't go well at all and everyone learns that Chava survived the Holocaust... and she recognizes Andrew.  Andrew also recognizes her from his time assigned to those at Auschwitz.  Mary asks Andrew to leave which he does.  Owen tells LJA to go with the angel since he and Mary are tending to Chava but Andrew needs someone, too.  Near the Tunnel portal, LJA tries to get Andrew to tell her about what happened but he won't because he needs to protect her from the horror of it.  LJA has an epiphany and realizes that, the whole time they've known each other, Andrew has loved her better and more than she ever loved him because he consistently puts her needs and wishes above his own... as he does with all of his friends.  They return to Dyeland and, after really considering the situation, Andrew lets LJA stay with him.  Exhausted, though, he falls asleep beneath the willow tree.  Back in the Tunnels, Owen, Vincent, and Mary are tending to Chava.  She feels she owes Andrew and LJA some explanation and also feels compelled to tell her story... the story of her loved ones... before she runs out of time.  Owen and Vincent see the value in this and reiterate that she should tell Andrew and LJA if it would be healing to her... but that they need to hear it together.  As Andrew naps, LJA and Owen have a text conversation to fill each other in.  When Andrew awakens, LJA has a heart-to-heart with him about agape and how she wants to love unconditionally, too, but can't when he's hiding away what might upset her.  He sees the truth in this and they both agree that they will hear Chava's story and that LJA will listen to them both.  ("Chava")

April 21, 2013- LJA returns Below to visit Chava but, before that, runs into Tiva who gives her the encouragement she needs to know she has the strength to hear Andrew and Chava out.  LJA arrives at Chava's chamber to find Vincent reassuring her.  LJA relates that she and Andrew are ready and wanting to listen to her story.  At Vincent's suggestion, LJA tells Chava a bit more about Andrew to put her at ease.  When Andrew visits Willowveil later that day, he confesses that he's mostly worried about LJA hearing Chava's story because of the cruelty within it but... he's also concerned she'll be disappointed in him.  LJA assures him that won't happen... it can't because after their shared dreams in Afghanistan, it's impossible for her to walk away from him.  Andrew comes to realize, too, that he needs to let go of the teenaged LJA he first met and accept that she's a grown woman... a friend and not a charge.  Thus, they're prepared to listen to Chava.  ("Chava")
 
April 22, 2013- Andrew and LJA go to Chava's chamber and she begins her tale.  First, she tales them about David, a boy she'd known her whole life but only truly appreciated when they were ten years old and he bailed her out at school.  She tells of running into him and his brother, Bennie, in the woods and how they walked her home and she was charmed with David's care for his developmentally challenged brother.  Chava goes on to speak of an incident in 1938 when her friend, Beth, and her family needed to leave town because Polish Jews were being expelled.  She and David brought the girl a cape they had made as a farewell present and they vowed to never forget each other, knowing they may never see each other again.  In the present, Andrew and LJA are both stricken: him by his own memories, her by the utter awfulness of simply not knowing if a friend is alive or dead.  Chava explains that, after the war, she did try to find Beth or word of her but there was nothing.  She goes onto tell them about Kristallnacht... a terrible day that ended with the torching of the village synagogue and the death of the rabbi and Chava's own father.  Her listeners are both grieved by her telling and Chava wearied... she hadn't spoken of her father's death since leaving Europe.  So Chava rests while Andrew and LJA return to Dyeland.  They have lunch with some friends then LJA retires to Willowveil with Andrew tagging along, not wanting to leave her alone.  That night, Chava dreams of the night she ran away from home after her father's death and David found her and, for the first time, they kissed.  ("Chava")

April 23, 2013- LJA keeps having nightmares so joins Andrew in the library where he's spending the night thinking and praying.  They try to comfort each other and LJA concludes that everything has happened as it has for a reason: God sent Andrew to be with Chava as she revisits her past and God also sent LJA to be there for Andrew.  The angel comes to believe this, too, and so tells LJA about his assignment with Chava's father and the village rabbi on Kristallnacht.  That morning, Andrew leaves for an assignment and LJA goes to the Tunnels for her class with Rabbi Yakov.  He convinces her to have lunch with Vincent and talk to him about what she's feeling.  So she does.  Vincent brings her to a chamber that blocks sound, allowing her to rage and scream out her pain and confusion.  He stays with her the whole time.  He should get the Godfather of the Year Award.  Later, Andrew returns to Dyeland and helps LJA to realize why God chose her as the one to meet Chava, to introduce her to him, to hear their stories, etc.  He concludes that Chava sees her relationship with David reflected back to her in them which has made them her chosen listeners.  So they return to the Tunnels and Chava resumes her story with an account of their deportation to a ghetto in Poland.  Heartbreakingly, David's family was killed on arrival.  Her recollection prompts a flashback for Andrew as he remembers taking the Friedmans home.  Chava goes onto tell Andrew and LJA about how her mother and friends arranged a small wedding for her and David in the ghetto.  When LJA goes to get tea, Chava counsels Andrew to keep close to the girl as the story progresses because, unlike the two of them, LJA has never "looked evil in the eyes" and thus needs protection.  Andrew agrees.  Chava's story shifts to April 1942 when rumors of the atrocities are running rampant.  She and David seek solace and time alone together in a hiding place Rabbi Lautz told David of.  ("Chava")
 
April 24, 2013- After Chava finishes telling of the night she and David spent in the Rabbi's attic, the three part for the night.  Andrew and LJA go to the Tunnel chapel where LJA prays before a painting of Jesus.  Once she's done, she returns to Andrew's side and contemplates how things may have been different had Christians preserved a more realistic image of Jesus through the years.  Andrew offers his views on what has allowed "-isms" to prevail at times.  Then he begins to cry as he remembers all the times during the Holocaust when God's message of love was ignored.  LJA comforts him and they pray together.  Back in her chamber, Chava tries to puzzle Andrew out and, drifting to sleep, dreams of happier times with David.  That morning, LJA teaches her class and Owen shares that he's invited Chava to go Above with him to teach a class at an art gallery... thus freeing up Andrew and LJA.  So the angel and woman join the Levines for dinner that evening.  While Andrew is told to go veg, Tiva assures an uncertain JenniAnn that she's strong enough to hear the rest of Chava's and Andrew's stories out.  Then Tiva produces a drawing she found earlier: one of Andrew drawn by an eight year old JenniAnn.  It gives LJA the proof she needs that she can stand by Andrew.  After dinner, Andrew and Rabbi Yakov retire to the latter's study for some chess.  Andrew confides in the man about a brutal mass killing he witnessed and his utter confusion when it comes to why some humans do terribly cruel things.  The rabbi assures him that it's a good thing neither of them can make sense of such behavior and reminds him that, when children died, two men were there: Andrew and the Nazi.  And only one remains: Andrew, the one who loved.  Later, the two pairs exchange their "how we met" stories with each other.  After leaving the Levines, Andrew and LJA return to Chava's chamber.  Chava resumes her story by telling of the day, in June 1943, when the ghetto was liquidated and she and those she loved were moved to Auschwitz.  LJA becomes agitated so Andrew sends her to get tea and burn off some energy.  While he and Chava talk, LJA meets up with Vincent who lends her his mother's rosary as a reminder of hope.  When she returns, Chava tells of her reunion with David and how she lost her mother.   ("Chava")

April 25, 2013-  After telling of Eva's death, Chava asks her listeners if they believe in angels.  Of course, Andrew and LJA both respond in the affirmative.  With that, the elderly woman continues her story by relaying how Rabbi Lautz and Mr. Leiber died and the plot to escape that soon followed.  She tells of that fateful night when she, David, Felix, Flora, and Hanna made their escape but David turned himself in to allow the others to evade the guards.  As Chava and LJA cry, Andrew retrieves Joshua's yarmulke and prayer shawl and recites Psalm 23 in Hebrew while LJA translates into English.  Chava expresses her wish that she at least know what happened to David.  Andrew then reveals himself as an angel.  Chava is initially in disbelief but then realizes he speaks truthfully.  She sobs in his arms and then asks Andrew to tell her about the night David died.  He does and the three cry together before Chava dismisses the two, telling them to rest.  LJA gets her settled into bed and then leaves Chava with her journal in which she writes to David.  LJA goes to her own chamber where she finds Andrew sobbing.  He'd been remembering his return to the woods where David died, where Abraham and Joshua were mourning him and the other victims.  LJA helps him fully realize that he did all he could and that if he'd done any more... he may have been unable to continue on Earth and then the life they've built would be gone.  Thus, Andrew is finally able to let go of his guilt.  She lulls him to sleep and he dreams of David's entry into Heaven.  When he awakes, Andrew goes to the Mirror Pool where Joshua briefly appears to tell his angel that he is very proud of him.  In the morning, Andrew confesses to Chava that he was near during their escape but kept silent.  He asks for her forgiveness but she doesn't give it because she thinks he did nothing wrong and, thus, has nothing to be forgiven for.  They all realize that, with the timing of the revelation, they were all blessed in ways they otherwise would not have been: Chava found friends when she most needed them, Andrew and LJA had some long overdue talks, and Andrew confronted his remorse over not being able to save people's lives.  Chava tells her friends a little of her life in New York after immigrating there and about the fates of Flora, Hanna, and Felix.  Then she asks them about their lives, particularly about their home.  Thus, the two introduce her to Dyeland.  After getting Chava settled in for the night, Andrew and LJA share a dance in the Willowveil ballroom.  ("Chava")

April 26, 2013- After services at Rabbi Yakov's synagogue, Chava is recognized by one of the congregants.  The woman turns out to be her childhood friend, Beth, whose family was deported and who was feared dead.  As Andrew drives them to a restaurant with LJA, Beth and Chava begin to catch up on all that happened in the years they spent apart.  It comes out that Beth has managed to keep some photographs, some of David among them.  The four detour to Beth's hotel where Chava, at last, is able to see her husband's and parents' faces again and show them to LJA.  ("Chava")

April 28, 2013- Andrew, LJA, and Owen meet Kemara Marie Meeks at Fr. Mike's church in Manhattan.  She moves to Dyeland about two weeks later.  ("Ivy")

May 30, 2013- This seems to be when Andrew started the assignment he has in "Ivy" since LJA has been parted from him for "two weeks and two days" as ofJune 14th.

June 14, 2013- Andrew is troubled when he begins to suspect that one of the girls in a summer session he's been teaching is being bullied so he seeks solace in the school chapel which houses a Pieta with a key to his assignment.  Joshua visits the angel and tells him that the girl, Ivy, is his assignment.  He asks Andrew to remind the girl that he loves her.  Andrew learns more about her life... and that he won't be working the case alone.  ("Ivy")

June 17-August 10, 2013- This is the entire span of when Andrew is aided by JenniAnn and eventually others including Kemara and Violeta during his assignment with the Eve's Girls program as told in "Ivy."  They all work together to help Ivy overcome the abuse directed at her by another girl and her two cronies.  The ladies stay at the home of LJA's parents, Robert and Allison, while Andrew resides in a loft in the downtown area of their city.

June 18, 2013- On this date, two of JenniAnn's grade/high school friends learn the truth about Andrew.  Carrie and Kevin Hunter spot Andrew and LJA at a grocery store and the former becomes agitated when she recognizes Andrew as the older man who sometimes picked LJA up from school.  To get her to stop worrying, the Hunters are told that Andrew's an angel of death... something that gives them great comfort considering Kevin is battling cancer.  From that evening on, the two join in on the effort to protect "Ivy."

June 19, 2013- Violeta becomes a second target for Ivy's bullies.  On the plus side, this causes Ivy to open up to the angel.  Later, Andrew and Joshua are both moved by a poem Ivy wrote about the latter.  He then gives Andrew some guidance on the assignment and bullying in general.

June 20, 2013- Andrew and Co. meet Mr. Mark Spelman, JenniAnn's former psychology teacher, who has some information that later proves very useful.  It also turns out that he was one of the people involved in the decision to purchase Ivy's mother's Pieta for the school chapel.  This is also the first day that Ivy really opens up to Andrew and all three of the ladies about what she's been dealing with.  That night, Andrew, LJA, and the Hunters finalize some plans to watch over social media to keep Ivy from getting cyber bullied.  Andrew learns that Kevin's little sister, Lorelei, was one of his more unique assignments.  ("Ivy")

June 21, 2013- Ivy accidentally locks herself out of her house so winds up at the Chandler residence while she waits for her Grandma Doreen to get home.  Unfortunately, Doreen uses it as an opportunity to make Ivy feel bad and goes off on Andrew and LJA then grounds Ivy.  This has very unfortunate consequences.  Meanwhile, Bennie, who has also been working with the Eve's Girls program, invites LJA to hang out and bury the hatchet.  That doesn't go real well, either...  ("Ivy")

June 22-23, 2013- Bennie takes advantage of LJA's naivete (girl can't taste the difference between a real margarita and a NA one) and gets her drunk then leaves her at a bar.  Andrew, in something of a panic, goes to get her.  While they're dealing with that, Ivy receives a series of hateful messages on Facebook.  In the middle of the night, she leaves her house with the intent of biking to the Chandler residence in order to be comforted by the presence of her new friends.  Unfortunately, she's struck by a car and winds up unconscious in the hospital.  Thankfully, she'd been carrying one of LJA's books and a nurse tracks down Andrew and Co. via the phone number written in that.  The four hasten to the hospital where they join with several others to pray for Ivy's recovery.  Meanwhile, Joshua sits at Ivy's bedside and gifts her with a vision from his own life: a time when his Abi (Yosef) stood up to a boy and his father who were bullying Yeshu (Joshua).  After the vision, Joshua awakens Ivy and the girl's healing begins.  Mr. Spelman reveals that, as part of the deal to purchase the Pieta, Francesca asked for Ivy to attend Our Lady of Hope... a deal the school principal makes good on however belatedly.  Ivy learns Andrew's and Violeta's true identities and finds a very special gift: a lion carved by the Carpenter Himself.  Later, Andrew and the ladies confront Doreen who is forced to recognize her own failings and incorrect assumptions about Jesus and His Father.

June 24, 2013- Andrew visits with a repentant Bennie.  He extends his and LJA's forgiveness for her actions but tells her that they need time away to rebuild trust in her.  Bennie then leads her students in a discussion on bullying.  In his class, Andrew has the girls work on gifts and well-wishes for Ivy.  While they do that, he's called to the principal's office to confront the bullies.  At first, the confrontation seems to be going no where but then there's a break through when Joshua reveals some information about the bully's father and he becomes determined that his daughter should make restitution.  During this, Violeta has been working for a local newspaper and, with Ivy's help, turns the focus of her article towards overcoming the bullying epidemic.

June 26, 2013- Having had a little time to recuperate, Ivy is able to receive one of the gifts she was promised... a dog!  Andrew, LJA, Kemara, and Violeta take her to the Humane Society where she falls in love with a wee black dog who has suffered abuse himself.  Enter Leo the lionhearted.  Meanwhile, Ivy's bully, Alyssa, and her family begin counseling with none other than Monica and Tess.

June 28, 2013- Andrew takes Doreen and Ivy to visit Francesca's Pieta.  Doreen is overcome by memories of her daughter's death and her own refusal to accept her child.  However, she's reminded by God and her granddaughter that it's never too late.  Doreen asks God for forgiveness and is freed from her judgmentalism. 

August 10, 2013- Andrew's time with Eve's Girls officially comes to a close when they have their end of the summer program.  Ivy astounds with a performance of "God Help the Outcasts."  In the crowd, all of those who helped her are there to cheer for her... including the God of the outcasts, Joshua. 

Mid to Late August, 2013- Though there's no story about it, Andrew and Co. take an Alaskan cruise courtesy of Raquel and Nico during this period.  They'd given him a certificate for a group cruise as a welcome home/birthday gift in "Abide With Me."  Rose and Max allude to it at the end of "Roots and Wings".

September 19-20, 2013- In "Once More," Andrew tells JenniAnn that this will be his last birthday before he starts aging.  He's chosen Valentine's Day 2014 for the date.  Whether it happens exactly then remains to be seen.

Autumn 2013- Sometime during the season, Andrew and Samuel witness a thankfully aborted attack on Eilish by drunken men.  Samuel was allowed to intervene by frightening off the men.  ("Samuel's Prayer")

October 1, 2013- Andrew and LJA are having a lovely evening with their dogs and some dancing in the Willowveil ballroom when they discover that Shelby has been hiding and watching them.  She reveals that she's bothered by her lack of memories of her parents and spills about her desire to trick-or-treat because she wants to experience something of what life with her parents mighta been like.  After hearing the girl out, our Halloween-hating AOD agrees to take her trick-or-treating Above cause he's Andrew and of course he's going to do the right, most loving thing.  Earlier that same day, Andrew had been on assignment at a store where he witnessed one brother giving his younger bro a hard time about the grim reaper.  Obviously, Andrew was not pleased.  ("Trick-or-Treating")
 
October 3, 2013- LJA and Monica are enjoying their annual Coffee Summit Day when a familiar faces walks into the Panera...  It's Arthur Reese aka the guy Monica felt the connection with shortly before her temptation in 2001.  Thanks to Joshua's orchestration, Monica and Arthur are reunited... for the long haul.  Andrew, sent there to keep LJA company since Monica ends up dining with Arthur, is convinced of this.  And so sayeth Jack.  As it turns out, Arthur is moving to Manhattan.

October 5, 2013- Andrew and JenniAnn host a "Welcome to Manhattan!" party for Arthur at Adrian's Coffeehouse.  This is when he meets many of Monica's friends.  ("The Coffee Summit")

October 31, 2013- A slew of Dyelander adults (let's see... Andrew, LJA, Adam, Max, Rose, Kemara, Monica, and Arthur along with Violeta [does she count as an adult?  hmm...]) take a bunch of the Tunnel kids "Trick-or-Treating" Above because Shelby confessed about a month before to longing to trick-or-treat properly.  Andrew went as Dumbledore, LJA as Prof. Trelawney, Adam as Hagrid, Max as Harry Potter, Rose as Hermione, Kemara as a Ravenclaw student, Violeta as Tonks, Shelby as Luna Lovegood, and Monica and Arthur as Guenevere and King Arthur.   While the others go through a haunted maze, Andrew gets some reassurance from Joshua... who dresses as a lion because Satan best watch himself.  Later, they all head to the Fields of Gold for the usual party.  Catherine and Vincent are among those there and dress as Tristan and Iseult.  This is also apparently the first chance Arthur and Tess have to really talk.

November 2013- Andrew, Adam, Henry, Eli, Violeta, Monica, and Arthur all spend time in the Philippines helping with relief and recovery following Typhoon Haiyan.  "Shelter from the Storm" offers a glimpse of Arthur's and Monica's time there.  Arthur references his recovery work with Monica in JABB 398.  These assignments are also briefly referenced in "The Truth" with Andrew dealing with fatigue and struggling to be alone and Arthur and Monica drawing closer because of their work together.

November 28-29, 2013- Several of the Dyelanders and friends gather for Thanksgiving dinner at Willowveil.  After dinner, when the crowd has thinned, Adam arranges a game of Philosophical Questions.  One question prompts Monica to consider that she should tell Arthur the truth about the day they met and how she walked off her assignment and was tempted.  LJA concurs and so Arthur and Monica head to Veritas for the important talk.  Meanwhile, Andrew and LJA have their own talk about honesty while Max, Violeta, Rose, and Kemara watch Harry Potter.  It's a very fruitful Thanksgiving and you can read about it in "The Truth" .
 
December 2013- Esther Chava Kossing Friedman passes away in her chamber in the Tunnels surrounded by those who came to care for her in her last months: Andrew, LJA, Owen, Portia, Mary, Father, Vincent, Catherine, Rabbi Yakov, and Tiva.  It doesn't turn out to be Andrew who escorts Chava Home but someone else...  The next day, Rabbi Yakov presides over a memorial service in his synagogue while Vincent organizes one Below.  He eulogizes Chava and then recites a Rilke poem she shared with him.  Others get up to share their memories and then only Andrew and LJA are left.  Andrew gives JenniAnn a gift that Chava left behind: an ethical will.  She lovingly admonishes them both to value and make the most of their love for each other, not worrying about what society thinks they should have or want.  She writes that she has learned that God cannot act against free will but that He whispers always, nudging us towards love.  ("Chava") 

December 23, 2013- Nearly three weeks after Chava's death, LJA is deep in mourning so God assigns Andrew to her.  Thus, LJA gets a revelation scene in which Andrew reassures her both about Chava and about his own future.  Chava's death had reawakened LJA's fears about what life would be like for Andrew on Earth following her death and the deaths of their friends.  God has it all figured out!  As they pray, Andrew is struck by a vision of LJA... with a baby.  Later, Max, Rose, and some of the others come to Serendipity to get Andrew's tree up and decorated.  Still later that evening, Andrew, LJA, Max, and Violeta watch It's a Wonderful Life together.  It's the first time for Violeta but as Andrew has seen it countless times, his mind drifts and he reflects on all the ways God has blessed their tribe in the past year.   ("The Christmas Rose")

Mike, and Ivy as they reflect on the significance of the day.  Meanwhile, a gray car approaches a rundown apartment in Manhattan.  It's Maryam, Yosef, and Joshua... who fittingly chose Christmas to return.  After getting Joshua's apartment into a more livable state, the family enjoys breakfast together and Maryam and Yosef retell Joshua the story of his birth.  Back in Dyeland, Andrew and LJA observe as their friends exchange Christmas gifts.  Andrew marvels at the coming of Joshua... and his vision of LJA and the baby.  A world away in Apartment 333, Joshua is starting to wonder what it's going to be like to walk among the Dyelanders, etc. with all his memories but no knowledge of what they're thinking or feeling.  Maryam and Yosef counsel him by drawing on their own experience as parents.  Knowing it will help calm Joshua, Yosef decides they should go to church so they go to St. Mary Magdalene's where Andrew and Co. are also headed.  As he sets out to give his homily during the Mass, Fr. Mike sees Joshua and, after getting over the shock and excitement, wings his homily on the theme of "Immanuel: God with us."  Later, after bidding his parishioners and the Dyelanders adieu, Fr. Mike reunites with Joshua and meets Maryam and Yosef.  Joshua also fills him in on what's coming along, namely his stint with the Jesus Christ Superstar production that Andrew will be directing.  Then the four spend their day feeding the homeless together.  That night, Monica hosts a party at her place in Dyeland.  Andrew and Violeta steal away to discuss their coming assignment with Joshua.  Back in Manhattan, Joshua and his parents gaze up at the stars and soak up the Father's love.  Maryam glances over at the rose on Joshua's table and remembers his words: "I am the resurrection and the life."  ("The Christmas Rose")

Mike arrives with direction from Joshua: the two angels are on leave until the assignment with the theatre begins so they can have time with Annabelle and the others.  When JenniAnn and Monica return to the room, the priest blesses Annabelle.  The baby receives a visit from her Aunt Rose and Uncle Max that evening followed by a return of the grandparents.  After they all leave, Andrew and JenniAnn give their baby a bath for the first time.  When alone with Annabelle, Andrew has a heart-to-heart with her.   ("Promises of Someday")

Yeshua has reverted to little boy form and cuddles with his parents.  At a more decent hour, everyone splits up around Willowveil to celebrate Christmas with their immediate families.  After exchanging gifts with her grandma and Mark at the Chandlers', Ivy joins the Wilson family.  She's moved to tears when Diana gives her a handmade scarf, treating her no differently than her children.  After Diana comforts her, the rest of the family leave Ivy and Sy alone to give their presents to each other.  They share their first kiss.  In JenniAnn's room, the kids unload their stockings and then she and Andrew start the scavenger hunt with Shelby and Violeta on one team and Max and Rose on the other.  A bit later, Rose realizes it's a scavenger hunt unlike all previous ones...  Max disappears at one point, leaving her with a clue directing her to Joshua.  He escorts her to the conservatory where Max proposes to his beloved.  Rose gleefully accepts.  After a blessing led by Maryam and Yosef, the group shares breakfast together.  Afterwards, they gather in the entryway where Joshua hands out birds to those not yet represented on the Family Tree and makes some edits.  That evening, the group serenades Joshua for his birthday and the girls reveal their surprise: a variety of Froot Loops treats.  They all give him a memory box for his birthday and, individually, reminisce about what each object means.  Then, per tradition, Maryam and Yosef tell the story of their son's birth.  ("The Family Tree")   "The Never-Ending Road" covers Kemara's and Sean's gift exchange on what is their first Christmas together.  The gifts include a few with definite Joshuan influence.

("The Never-Ending Road" )
 
Mid to late January 2015- Given what Joshua says about Eliot's and Brittony's nest in "The Family Tree", it seems their twins were born then.  In  "A Cord of Three Strands," we learn their names are Edison and Eleanor.

February 2015- Shortly after becoming engaged, Emma and Peter are at St. Genesius' Theatre waiting for the actor trying out for the role of Peter.  Martin shows up and as he sings, the couple recognize him as Eric.  With his cover blown, Eric tells them of how he met Joshua in CA and ended up with a young woman named Neela and her ailing son, Zane.  Eric gave up his wild ways, married Neela, took Zane as his own son, moved back to NYC, and is trying out in hopes of getting some extra money to finance a house.  Emma and Peter hire him.  ("The King")  In "A Cord of Three Strands," we learn that Eric and Neela learned the truth about Joshua the following day when they returned to the theatre after watching the show DVD and Eric having a prophetic dream.  Emma, Peter, and Andrew shared the truth with the couple.

February 11, 2015- Andrew and JenniAnn work on the annual Valentine's Day video whilst comforting a stuffy-nosed Belle in "A Cord of Three Strands."  Later, Emma teaches a dance class at Lily's Loot where she, Azalea, Basil, and Lily encourage Peter who will be donning Joshua's robe for the others for the first time.  Prior to rehearsal, the couple returns to their apartment where they take time to remember the night they became engaged.  At rehearsal, Eric chats with Andrew and JenniAnn about the changes in his life and everyone heartily approves of Peter's look as Joshua.  Afterwards, Arthur and Monica bring Liam Below for his first ever sleepover with his buddy, Jacob.  Meanwhile, Vincent talks Andrew and JenniAnn into leaving a sleeping Belle with him so they can catch up on sleep.  Back at Veritas late that night, Monica weeps over Liam's absence and a nightmare and is comforted by Arthur.  For the first time, they sleep together... and by that I mean literally sleep in the same place, no hanky-panky.  Darn euphemism...

February 12, 2015- As "A Cord of Three Strands"  continues, we learn Arthur and Monica aren't the only ones enjoying cozy sleeping arrangements.  Andrew and JenniAnn enjoy an uninterrupted night of sleep and then part to rouse the others for breakfast.  JenniAnn goes to the stable to retrieve Violeta who confides that she's second guessing her decision to not "fix" Silly on the chance that Mary may have a difficult pregnancy but JenniAnn counsels her that pregnancy, while never without risk, is not something to run from.  The three enjoy crepes with Max, Sean, and Kemara before going their separate ways for the day.  That evening, Kemara and Sean meet with Diana and Zeke for pre-Cana counseling and learn when it was exactly that the older couple realized their honeymoon phase was over.  It happened when, six weeks after their wedding, they were starting to enjoy an intimate moment when Diana got sick to her stomach.  Enter Hailey.  After hearing the story, Kemara and Sean ponder what it would be like to have their own "honeymoon souvenir."

February 13, 2015-   Valentine's Eve finds the Friends of Joshua (coupled and non), all enjoying themselves.  For one couple, however, it's a momentous night.  Clay and Kylie enjoy a picnic dinner and s'mores around a fire near the pond at the Romano Family Farm.  Conversation turns to a job offer Clay received which then leads to a rather sloppy but very heartfelt proposal.  Kylie exuberantly accepts then follows it up with her own proposal.  Both discover that Adam knew each planned to propose but kept mum.  They send him a text with a photo of their ringed fingers and leave it to him to spread the happy news.  ("A Cord of Three Strands" )

February 14, 2015- Andrew awakens from a vague but terrifying nightmare that he fears bodes bad things for JenniAnn.  He goes to the library to pray and LJA finds him there.  She tries to convince him not to worry then Belle calls them to her nursery where Andrew relaxes and enjoys a family embrace.  Later, everyone gathers for a celebration and viewing of the Valentine's video.  Right after it ends, Joshua commandeers the screen much to everyone's delight and sends his own message of love.  At his prompting, the gang dances to "Bei Mir Bistu Shein" with an invisible (except to Joshua) Chava and David joining in.  After their dance, Chava and David talk with Joshua about JenniAnn's pending near-death experience.  Joshua assures them that Andrew and JenniAnn will not be torn apart.  Though oblivious to the discussion, Andrew feels heartened and embraces Belle and JenniAnn while telling God that he loves and trusts Him.  ("A Cord of Three Strands" )

February 17, 2015- In the early hours of the morning, Andrew returns from a harrowing assignment.  JenniAnn leaves Violeta at Willowveil to watch over Belle and ventures to Serendipity.  Andrew and JenniAnn comfort each other as he recalls the atrocities he's seen carried out by members of a terrorist group (you know the one).  After that, the two decide that Andrew will reside completely at Willowveil.  ("Friend of My Soul")

February 21, 2015- In "Friend of My Soul," Andrew and JenniAnn spend a couple hours sorting through his closet at Serendipity in preparation for his complete move to Willowveil.  They end up taking a trip down memory lane.  Later, Violeta returns from seeing Paddington with Max and Rose.  Her family helps her put an unfortunate Fifty Shades related bit of weirdness behind her.  Joshua contributes to the family dinner attended by the Willowveil set, Max, Rose, Kemara, Sean, the Veritas clan, Shelby, and Jacob.

March 2, 2015- Kemara makes a surprising realization: her NFP chart suggests a good possibility of conceiving during her and Sean's honeymoon.  Sean is thrilled and optimistic while Kemara is more hesitant.  With that, they head to Manhattan for her dress fitting and his suit pick-up.  Afterwards, they lunch at Bob White's and discuss her parents' pending arrival and the all-important St. Patrick's Day party the year before.  ("The Never-Ending Road")

March 3, 2015- Kemara's parents, Joyce and David, arrive in Manhattan then travel to Dyeland to stay at Willowveil until the wedding.  Things start of rocky between Kemara and Joyce.  Once her parents are settled in, Kemara visits with Rose about their boys and her relationship with her mother.  ("The Never-Ending Road")

March 7, 2015- Kemara goes to Lily's Loot with Sean in tow.  While Kemara helps Emma teach dance class, Sean fawns over Lily while virtually ignoring all the other students.  Basil and Azalea reason that people often clam up around people with Downs though Kemara isn't much comforted by this.  Afterwards, Kemara, Sean, Peter, and Emma go out for lunch and discuss rehearsals for JCS.  ("The Never-Ending Road")

March 9, 2015- After a visit with Sean about their jobs, Kemara and Joyce head to NYC to pick up Kemara's wedding dress.  Her mother is very pleased and the lady at the shop takes photos for their ads.  Back at Willowveil, the ladies try Kemara's and Ivy's make-up and hairstyles for the big day.  Sean tries to sneak a peek, with Andrew as his accomplice, but he fails.  Later, the entire group settles in to watch Field of Dreams.  ("The Never-Ending Road")

March 10, 2015- Joyce unleashes a series of complaints against her daughter, prompting Kemara to cry.  With help from Max, Kemara and Sean escape to Skellig to relax for a while.  They discuss Joyce's assumptions and judgment and Sean offers to call his parents and have them ask Joyce and David to stay with them.  Megan agrees and, after a few more moments of peace, Sean and Kemara head back to Willowveil.  Before the Meekses leave, Sean tries to set Joyce straight as concerns the Friends and their eagerness to help each other.  Joyce continues to believe Kemara is behaving selfishly.  But then she hears Sean, Kemara, Andrew, and JenniAnn talking...  ("The Never-Ending Road")

March 14, 2015- Several of the Friends try to reassure Kemara re: her mother when they gather at St. Genesius'.  Kemara's and Sean's parents attend the final dress rehearsal of JCS.  Barring a few minor lighting issues, the rehearsal goes well and the parents are very impressed.  David reports to Kemara that Joyce seems to be coming around thanks to explanations from the McCallums and seeing the Friends interact at the theatre.  ("The Never-Ending Road")

March 17, 2015- This is when Kemara and Sean get married per the epilogue to "New Beginnings".  They have the reception at Willowveil's ballroom.  "Here is My Heart" fully covers the wedding day starting with Kemara praying in gratitude to God outside her beach house to getting "fancied up" for the nuptial Mass and then the reception in the Willowveil ballroom followed by a visit from a Special Guest and finally to Kemara and Sean leaving for their honeymoon the following morning.

March 18, 2015- In "Here is My Heart" Kemara and Sean join Andrew, JenniAnn, and Violeta for breakfast at Willowveil.  They make plans to take the couple to the airport that evening for their honeymoon in Ireland.

April 1, 2015- While going to feed the animals with Violeta, the smell gets to Kemara and makes her sick. She’s also feeling very tired and takes a long nap in Joshua’s room. At lunch, she eats a tomato sandwich - which she has never done before. Sean is confused which makes Kemara irritated. Monica arrives and she, JenniAnn and Kemara decorate Willowveil for Easter. Kemara asks JenniAnn if she can give Belle a rabbit for Easter.  ("Morning Has Broken")

April 2, 2015- Sean and Kemara go for a morning jog. Kemara is sick again which makes Sean worry. Her behavior at the grocery store - buying new and different food - worries him even more. Back home, they prepare a sweet potato casserole for the Seder on Friday, and Kemara emails the twins to ask about the rabbit. Later that night, Caleb replies that their neighbors have a grey and white male rabbit who would be perfect for Belle.  ("Morning Has Broken")
April 3, 2015- Yet again Kemara is sick, and Sean suggests that she might be pregnant. He points out that she has many of the symptoms - extreme tiredness, nausea and vomiting, food cravings. She asks him to go by The Phoenix to see if Catherine has any pregnancy tests. While he’s gone, Kemara walks on the beach and talks to Joshua about how the thought of a child is both terrifying and exciting.
Sean stops at the Phoenix and talks to Catherine about some personal finance and budgeting seminars she’s asked him to do at the shelter. At the end of his visit, he asks about the pregnancy tests, and they discuss Kemara’s symptoms.
When he returns to the beach house, Sean is surprised and dismayed when Kemara makes excuses not to use the test and claims that maybe she’ll do it after the weekend.
The Friends head Below for the Seder which is being held at 4 so that they will have time to get to the theater before the 7 p.m. show. Kemara and Sean show Vincent photos from their honeymoon.
During the meal, Liam asks the traditional questions in Hebrew; Kemara has grape juice instead of wine, and Sean tells Catherine that they have no baby news yet.
Before the show, Kemara is nowhere to be found, and Gloria says she has been sick again. All the women look at Sean who says he thinks Kemara is pregnant, but she won’t use the test he brought her. Diana and Zeke assure him that Kemara is just apprehensive and that he should be patient because she’s going through a lot of changes. Diana offers to bring Kemara some of Maryam’s pregnancy tea which she still has - just in case.

Peter says his mother, father and grandmother arrived that afternoon to spend Easter with him and Emma.  ("Morning Has Broken")

April 4, 2015- Kemara and Sean make a trip to FAO Schwartz to get a toy bunny for Belle. They decide that - if Kemara is pregnant - to return and purchase a toy lion in honor of Joshua as the Lion of Judah. They have lunch at Monica’s food truck - Bread of Life - where Monica explains how she helps women who are fleeing human trafficking. She and Kemara arrange to get together the following week so Kemara can write an article for True Light’s newsletter.
Sean and Kemara arrive a little early at the theater where they find Emma and Peter in the office. The latter is understandably anxious about his family’s reaction to seeing him in the role of Jesus. He remembers how he wiped out on his skateboard when he was little and got pretty badly scraped up. His mother was very upset, and his grandmother was the one who bandaged him.
Peter’s family - his father Gordon, mother Rosario and grandmother Renata - attends the 2:30 show and watch from the “skybox”. They eat dinner with the cast between shows and talk about how the performance gave them new understanding of God’s role as a parent as well as what Maryam must’ve gone through.

The final show plays to a sold-out house and the Friends look forward to Easter Sunday.  ("Morning Has Broken")

April 5, 2015- Kemara is sick as soon as she wakes up - early for the sunrise service Fr. Mike is holding for the Friends in the Fields of Gold. Sean tells her if she doesn’t use a pregnancy test, he’s taking her to the emergency room. The test is, of course, positive, and they are both in a daze throughout the service.
Afterward, Edward and Caleb give Kemara the rabbit which she presents to Belle along with the toy look-alike. Andrew and JenniAnn name the rabbit Harvey, and Belle falls in love with her new friend. The families scatter to their own homes for church services or to finish preparing food for the party and egg hunt.
Sean prepares deviled eggs while Kemara rests. When she wakes up they discuss names, deciding on Gabriel Ian if it’s a boy, and Miriam Joy if the baby is a girl.
That afternoon, everyone - including Peter’s family and Sean’s parents, sister, brother-in-law and children as well as many people from the Tunnels gather in Dyeland. The event kicks off with an egg hunt for the kids outside around Willowveil. During it, Kemara and Sean discover two wooden eggs in their nest on the family tree. Prizes are presented to the three children who found golden eggs - books, art supplies and tiny animals carved by Andrew. JenniAnn says she wants the animals to become an Easter tradition.
After the hunt, the party moves to the Fields of Gold for food, storytelling and games. Yonah and Andrew’s horse, Starbuck, carry some of the guests over in a wagon. Sean and Kemara announce their good news and accidentally mention Joshua to the confusion of those not in the know. At that moment, Joshua himself appears walking toward them across the ocean. Lily runs across the water to him.

The Carpenter greets them all and spends the rest of the afternoon and early evening there, talking and eating with them all. Following a group performance of the Hora, Joshua says he needs to leave because it’s getting late. As he leaves the way he arrived, the Friends and their guests sing “Because He Lives” by the Gaithers.  ("Morning Has Broken")

April 6, 2015 - On Easter Monday, Kemara calls her parents to tell them that she and Sean are expecting. Sean suggests a swap shop of mother and baby clothes and supplies that all the Friends can draw from in the years to come. He heads to his last day at the office.

April 7, 2015 - Kemara calls her doctor and is dismayed to find that it will be another month before her appointment. She and Sean go shopping for books and prenatal vitamins.

April 13, 2015 - Kemara’s parents, David and Joyce, arrive for a short visit. Sean and David plan an overnight fishing trip with Sean’s father and brother-in-law, while Kemara and Joyce shop for baby things.  ("Glad Tidings")

April 14, 2015 - During their shopping trip, Kemara hints to her mother that she may be expecting twins.  Joyce tells Kemara that she and David are thinking of buying a house that’s for sale in Megan and Keith’s neighborhood and moving to New York permanently. When they return to Dyeland, a spontaneous beach party springs up with everyone bringing hamburger fixings and enjoying the warm spring afternoon.  ("Glad Tidings")

April 18, 2015 - Kemara visits True Life to discuss the article she has agreed to write about Monica and her food truck for the charity’s next newsletter. Zeke, who is working as a pastor there, greets her and they chat for a bit before Arthur shows up. After their discussion, as Kemara is rising to leave, she faints. Portia and Sean are called and arrive at the same time. Portia says that Kemara just got dehydrated and needs to take it easy for the rest of the day.  ("Glad Tidings")

April 24, 2015 - Kemara spends the day with Monica at her Bread of Life food truck outside Central Park. A mysterious benefactor pays for a cup of coffee with a $50 bill, and at lunchtime crowds line up for Monica’s sandwiches. When Kemara tries one - made with Adam’s non-meat product and Monica’s “Heavenly” special sauce -  Kemara understands why. Since Monica is busy with customers, she goes to meet Liam who is escorted to the park by Isaac after his classes. Kemara buys them all ice cream, and they play in the Park until Monica is ready to leave. That night, during family dinner at Willowveil, Kemara thanks Adam for creating his meat substitute which is not on her list of forbidden foods.  ("Glad Tidings")

April 28, 2015 - Before Kemara’s doctor’s appointment, Sean amuses himself imagining what his petite wife will look like when she’s ready to give birth to their twins. He finds her gynecologist cold and insensitive. The man berates Kemara for not coming in sooner since her pregnancy is high-risk because of her age and the possibility that she is carrying twins. To the couple’s dismay, he refuses to do an ultrasound, and sends Kemara to Children’s hospital for all future tests - moving the first ultrasound a further two weeks away.  ("Glad Tidings")
 
May 2015-  Eilish's mother, Maria, passes away in "The Story of Eilish/Elise."  Sometime after Maria's funeral Eilish goes for a walk and, happening upon a portal, returns to Asteriana where she finds her family's home and meets Andrew (the date is later revealed as May 25).  In "Samuel's Prayer," Eilish's guardian angel witnesses her return and prays to God to be able to speak with her and care for her.  God agrees and gives Samuel time off to spend with Eilish.  Sometime during this month, a bad storm struck Dyeland and JenniAnn used the opportunity to share a romantic evening with Andrew... after he'd wrangled the pets in his basement.  ("Shadowlands")
 
May 2, 2015 - On Portia’s advice, Sean is determined to keep both himself and Kemara busy. They meet his sister’s family in NYC to tour the firehouse where their grandfather worked for many years.

May 10, 2015 - The group spends all day eating, flying kites and playing on the beach.

At the hospital, they meet Dr. Faulkner, an older man with a gentle manner, whom they like very much. Finally, they see their twins - whom they have named Ian and Joy - for the first time. The technician says they are fraternal and appear to be a boy and a girl. The doctor says the babies will be probably be born in early December or late November. He suggests Kemara have a screening test called Verifi which can detect chromosomal abnormalities and other conditions. At the toy store, the couple buy the large stuffed lion they noticed on their first visit and other baby things.  ("Glad Tidings")
 
May 16, 2015- In "The Carpenter," Joshua tells Ivy that he'd like to be at her graduation.  He makes good on this in "A Graduation Surprise" when several of Ivy's friends, along with Doreen and Mark, gather to celebrate her accomplishment.  Joshua brings gifts for Ivy and Hailey (who also graduated) and a big surprise for Violeta.  In "Glad Tidings," Kemara and Sean walk on the beach and talk about her college experiences as well as their financial future with two children to put through college - at the same time.

May 21, 2015 - Kemara visits Catherine at the Phoenix Inn to discuss rebranding the shelter’s image. As she is leaving, her phone rings. It’s a nurse from the hospital saying that the Verifi test was positive for Down syndrome. There has been a cancellation, and if Kemara comes at once they can do a more in-depth ultrasound. Kemara tries to call Sean, but he is helping his dad at a wedding in Brewster - more than an hour away.  ("Glad Tidings")

At the hospital, Kemara is seen by an arrogant young intern who says that Kemara’s baby girl has a 70% chance of having Down syndrome and recommends abortion. As she is leaving the hospital, Sean arrives with Brad and Megan. He is horrified by the doctor’s treatment of his wife and has to be restrained by Brad. Kemara calls JenniAnn and asks her to gather all the Dyelanders who are available that evening so they can be told the awful news.  ("Glad Tidings")

Home again, Sean researches Down syndrome and worries that his genes might be the cause. At Willowveil, Kemara and Sean tell JenniAnn, Andrew, Monica, Arthur, Rose and Max the news. Kemara insists she will not abort her baby, but Sean makes no comment. Monica, JenniAnn and Rose talk to Kemara while Andrew, Arthur and Max do the same with Sean. Neither group feels that they are very successful. Violeta can’t understand why Down syndrome is so bad. Monica, Andrew and the others explain how disabled people have been treated through the centuries.  ("Glad Tidings")

On the way back to Sol Mate, Sean say they should consider all options, including termination. Kemara is horrified, and heads to back Willowveil - specifically the chapel behind it. There, Maryam appears to comfort her, while Yosef joins Sean for a beer. With their help, the younger couple at last talk about their fears. Sean reveals that he had a relative who was in an institution when Sean was a child. The thought that his own child might end up in such a place when he and Kemara are gone horrifies Sean. Kemara assures him that their friends and family would never let such a thing happen.  ("Glad Tidings")

May 23, 2015 - Kemara and Sean visit with Basil and Azalea Thornton at Lily’s Loot while Andrew and JenniAnn take Belle and Lily to lunch.

They plan to spend the next two days as Maryam and Yosef suggested - relaxing and talking together about their children’s future.  ("Glad Tidings")

May 25, 2015- In "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Eilish comes to Dyeland on this date.

May 26, 2015 - Kemara and Sean meet with Portia in her office. The doctor confirms that there’s a high probability that Joy has Down syndrome and suggests more testing that will say for certain. Kemara and Sean agree to have a the babies placentas tested the next day - called CVS - because neither is sleeping well and the stress is wearing on Kemara the most.  ("Glad Tidings")  Eilish visits Willowveil for the first time and meets JenniAnn and Belle.  ("A Midsummer Night's Dream")
 
May 27, 2015 - Kemara has the test done. While she is recovering, Sean reads to her from one of Basil's and Azalea’s books about what it’s like finding out your child will have special needs. They discuss Ian, and hope that they will not compare Joy to her brother. At home, Kemara plans a shopping trip with Emma, Kylie and Rose and goes through her closets. She finds the aran sweater Joshua gave her. She and Sean realize that the Carpenter knew it would fit only when Kemara was pregnant.  ("Glad Tidings")  While cleaning her cottage, Eilish finds a letter from her long-lost parents.  ("A Midsummer Night's Dream")

Kemara finds a dress for Kylie and Clay’s wedding at the end of June as well as several other items. During lunch they discuss Kemara’s parents reaction to the news of Joy’s condition, Kylie’s wedding plans and Rose’s college classes. Emma is curiously silent. Back at Sol Mate, she confesses that she’s worried she won’t be able to have children. Otherwise, she would’ve gotten pregnant when she and Derek were together. The other women suggest she check with her doctor and point out all their friends who are parents through adoption.  ("Glad Tidings")

June 5, 2015 - Kemara and Sean email their friends and family with the news: Portia has confirmed that Joy does have Down syndrome. Even though they were expecting it, the confirmation still hurts. But, the couple stress that they are trusting in the One who knows all that is to come.  ("Glad Tidings")  Meanwhile, in El-Chanan, Reuel is telling the world's history to a young couple named Cody and Eleora.  He shares how El-Chanan was founded when God sent the righteous humans (minus Noah and his family) and angels to this new world to escape the Flood.  Joshua visits Reuel, Cody, and Eleora and tells the latter that demons, Nen and Tzila, will be targeting Andrew and his friends.  Reuel agrees to go to New York to help his fellow angel.  ("Shadowlands")

June 6, 2015- After a brief scare involving Belle and Hide-and-Seek, Andrew and JenniAnn go their separate ways for the day: him to an assignment and her to the Phoenix Inn's Manhattan office with Catherine.  Just outside, the two women are accosted by a man with a gun who is looking for his wife.  He shoots JenniAnn and flees.  As Catherine calls 911, Vincent arrives on scene and cradles a fading JenniAnn.  He leaves just before the ambulance arrives.  Meanwhile, God sends Eli and Kelly to fetch Andrew from Lowe's and break the news to him.  He's crushed but pulls himself together enough to get an update from Portia at the hospital.  Owen goes to retrieve Allison and Robert while Adam picks Max and Violeta up so they can be with Andrew. While they all pray and comfort each other, JenniAnn spends time on Joshua's island reuniting with Chava, Cora, Lor, David, Jamey, and Sophia.  Reuel arrives and tells her the story of his people so she can understand why demons are focused on Andrew. 

After JenniAnn is brought back to her room; Andrew, Max, and Portia consult with Dr. Wittson, her surgeon.  (This scene compromises one of the epilogues in "The King.")  They learn that there's fear JenniAnn may have sustained brain damage after being deprived of oxygen but, miraculously, the bullet caused far less harm than would have been expected.  Andrew credits this to Joshua's blessing of the two the day Belle was baptized.  While encouraged by this, Andrew is hurt when Allison and Robert react poorly to learning JenniAnn named him her health care agent.  The couple return to their daughter's bedside and two visitors arrive for Andrew: Reuel and Matthew.  The former joins the others in the family room while Matthew and Andrew go to a private room where the detective reveals that Max's father, Rex Remus, shot JenniAnn.  Andrew and Matthew then have to tell Max who falls apart.  Afterwards, Max relays the information to Rose who tries to comfort them.  Andrew insists they take the next turn to visit JenniAnn's room.  Catherine assures the angel that she and Vincent trust him and that she'll intervene with Allison and Robert.  After she leaves, Andrew prays in thanksgiving for the lack of damage to JenniAnn's heart and for Max to feel God's love surrounding him.  ("Shadowlands")

In "Glad Tidings Part II," Portia calls Sean to tell him that JenniAnn has been shot. Kemara overhears the phone call and laments that she used to think of Dyeland as a special, protected place where nothing bad could happen. She fears that if JenniAnn dies the “center” around which the community revolves will collapse. Sean encourages her pointing out that JenniAnn is probably with Joshua.

June 7, 2015- Vincent is struggling to sleep when Belle, too, awakens.  The two take a walk to the Mirror Pool where Vincent tells his granddaughter about how Joshua made the stars she's admiring.  This calms them both and they return to sleep.  At the hospital, Andrew is talking with JenniAnn who remains in a coma.  He's interrupted by Reuel who arrives to keep Andrew company and forewarn him about Nen and Tzila.  Meanwhile, in Dyeland, Max is being tormented by a nightmare in which he hits Rose.  Refusing to accept that could ever happen, Rose succeeds in convincing Max that he's not his father and not prone to his violence.  They fall back to sleep in each other's arms.

That morning, Andrew has another dust-up with Allison and Robert who seem to think he's overly controlling with JenniAnn.  Reuel interrupts, knowing Allison and Robert are not in a state to listen to Andrew's reasoned defense, and brings the angel of death to the family room to have breakfast with the Levines, Violeta, Max, and Rose.  They conclude that Violeta should allow Ivy to come keep her company as she offered.  Rabbi Yakov leads them in prayer.

On the island, JenniAnn visits with Sarah, Josef's beloved.  Sarah commiserates over parents who don't understand the bonds between their daughters and their soul mates.  She urges JenniAnn to talk to Joshua about her concerns which she does.  Then Joshua lets her listen in on Dr. Talson's consultation with Andrew, Allison, and Robert.  He reveals that the various tests are promising in that they didn't show significant brain damage.  However, JenniAnn's seizure activity has greatly increased.  After the neurologist is finished, Kemara and Sean pay JenniAnn a visit.  Upset by the sight of Kemara's pregnant belly, Allison leaves the room with Robert.  Back in Joshua's realm, he reveals to JenniAnn that she chose to leave Earth because of the trauma of being shot. 

At the hospital, Andrew brings Belle and Shelby to visit JenniAnn.  After he returns them to the Tunnels, Andrew discovers that Matthew and Tyron are back.  They've informed Max and Rose that Rex has been arrested.  Still filled with anger, Max asks Fr. Mike to pray for him.  The priest leads the group in prayer for Max.  A bit later, Andrew has a particularly nasty encounter with Allison and Robert and flees JenniAnn's room.  Max convinces him to return to Willowveil to rest.  While there, Andrew dreams of a special night with JenniAnn when she surprised him with ginger ale, red velvet cupcakes, and a massage, and dancing after he'd spent the stormy evening wrangling their pets.  Outside, Logan is debating whether or not to tell someone what he overheard JenniAnn's parents saying to Andrew.  He ends up telling Max who decides to show the couple a video he made for his parents' anniversary.  Diana and Zeke also try to help the Chandlers clue in and completely accept Andrew and LJA.  The efforts succeed and Allison and Robert have a heart-to-heart with Andrew, remaining at the hospital with him when all the others clear out for food and fellowship at Willowveil.

In Dyeland, Owen and Reuel visit about the nature of anam caras and the man's own relationship hopes and worries.  Owen confides in Reuel about how much Andrew and JenniAnn mean to him.  While their potluck goes on, Joshua and JenniAnn are having a party of their own with the spirits.  Joshua sends LJA and Jamey off in search of berries.  They discuss Jamey's brief life and JenniAnn treasures away memories to bring back to Catherine and Vincent.  Back in the Willowveil ballroom, Peter gives an encouraging speech to his friends and the Wilsons lead them all in song.  ("Shadowlands")

Eilish is in Estonia when she hears, via an email from Andrew of what happened to JenniAnn and prays for her healing.  That night, she has a nightmare about being rejected in Dyeland but, in another dream, Samuel comforts her.  ("A Midsummer Night's Dream")
 
June 8, 2015- In the wee hours; Emma, Kylie, Eric, and Kemara converge in the kitchen for a midnight snack.  The idea for putting on a benefit show at St. Genesius' is borne from their conversation. 

On Joshua's island, JenniAnn becomes distraught when she realizes that Joshua, Lor, and David all died protecting people they loved while evil people go onto thrive and live long lives.  She begins to doubt that returning to her mortal life is what she wants.  The three men counsel her, telling her that she has an eternity in Heaven but only a finite time to contribute to life on Earth and Dyeland.  JenniAnn again decides she'll return to Earth.

Back in Willowveil, preparation has begun for the benefit show.  This leads into another prayer service for JenniAnn, this time in the Dyeland Chapel, with Andrew, Max, and Violeta in attendance.  Joshua allows JenniAnn to hear and watch the service from his island.  They visit about the importance of family... and how it's not just about blood.  After rejoining the others, Joshua begins a game of Hide-and-Seek.  During the game, JenniAnn finds not only David, Chava, Cora, Lor, Sophia, and Jamey but also John, Maryam, and Yosef.  With Joshua, they all return to the cottage to start a campfire.  While there, JenniAnn feels the effects of the grand mal seizure her body is experiencing on earth.  Joshua comforts her but, at the hospital, Violeta panics and flees.  When they realize she's gone; Andrew, Ivy, Sy, and Tiva all run off in search of her while Rabbi Yakov remains near LJA and prays.

Outside, Violeta sprains her uncle after running away and is visited by an angel who says God sent her to console Violeta.  However, when the "angel" tells Violeta that JenniAnn never loved her and is going to wake up different and leave Andrew, the teenager realizes that she's been conversing with a demon, Tzila.  A second angel shows up and banishes Tzila.  He claims to be Elazer, Reuel's friend, and Violeta takes a walk with him.  Soon, his true colors show and Elazer who is actually Nen threatens to turn Violeta over to some drunken men.  JenniAnn, Maryam, Sophia, and Joshua show up and the blinding light hypnotizes the men and drives Nen away.  Ivy, Sy, and Tiva arrive, scaring the drunks off.  Andrew is just behind them and carries Violeta back to the hospital.  Reuel arrives and, after an identity check by Violeta, verifies based on her descriptions that it was Nen and Tzila who attacked her.  The group consoles the young angel who ends up spending the night with Andrew and JenniAnn in the hospital room.  ("Shadowlands")

June 9th, 2015- Catherine struggles to sleep.  She hates knowing that, if JenniAnn dies, Vincent's last memories of her will be the bloodied moments in the alley right after she'd been shot.  Thus, Catherine concocts a scheme with Joe Maxwell to get Vincent into the room.

The spirits gather around JenniAnn as she prepares to return.  She begs Joshua to let her confront Nen and Tzila with Andrew but he refuses, knowing that the demons would only use JenniAnn to hurt Andrew by exposing her to all the violence and cruelty he's struggled to protect her from.  The spirits urge JenniAnn to listen and to realize that she needs to be with her family to help them through Andrew's absence just as he helped them through hers.  Realizing the truth in their words, JenniAnn agrees and apologizes to Joshua for questioning him.  He accepts and tells her he understands then urges her to step outside the cottage and meet someone.  To JenniAnn's delight, Badriya is waiting for her.  The two women have an emotional visit and Badriya teaches JenniAnn a lullaby to sing to Belle. 

Back at the hospital, an exhausted Andrew keeps vigil at JenniAnn's bedside while the Friends gather at St. Genesius' for a breakfast catered by Dusty and Moishe.  Joe, Matthew, and Portia arrive with Vincent on a stretcher and in a body bag which they used to smuggle him through the hospital (this scene originally appeared in "Possibilities").  Left alone, Vincent thanks Andrew for all the love he brought to his Psyche's life.  The two men are frightened when JenniAnn seems to be dying.  However, she's actually making her good byes on Joshua's island, giving final hugs and promises to Badriya, Sarah, Maryam, Yosef, John, Lor, Cora, Jamey, Chava, David, Sophia, and, finally, Joshua.  With a "talitha koum!" from him, JenniAnn awakens in the hospital and is enthusiastically greeted by Andrew and Vincent.  After spending a few moments with JenniAnn, Vincent is snuck back out of the hospital and the nurses and doctors descend, removing JenniAnn from the assorted machines and helping her change and freshen up.  Andrew takes the opportunity to spreads the good news and then is allowed time to affectionately and privately reunite with his Laja.  He carries her to the family room where Allison, Belle, Catherine, and Robert have their own emotional reunions.  The whole group moves back to JenniAnn's room at the prodding of her nurse.  They clear out, though, when Max, Shelby, and Violeta arrive.  The latter meets with JenniAnn first and is reassured that she's loved.  JenniAnn also consoles the angel as she remembers the terror of the previous night and the leers of the drunken men.  Then Andrew, Max, and Shelby join them.  The little girl drifts to sleep after cuddling up to JenniAnn who decides she needs to get home to a bigger bed... possibly even that very day.  Overhearing, Portia puts the kibosh on that idea but says she and Edmund will push for getting JenniAnn released the following day.  A bit later, Allison and Belle return with Dairy Queen Blizzards for everyone.  They're enjoying their ice cream with Raquel arrives.  Raquel promises to stay with Andrew and JenniAnn for as long as they need her.

That evening, after JenniAnn goes through some testing, Eli and Owen visit her and Andrew.  They connect her computer and live stream a visit with the Friends back at Willowveil.  Afterwards, JenniAnn has still more examinations and then, finally, is left alone with Andrew.  Naturally, they cuddle and talk about what they both experienced in the days they were apart.  JenniAnn tells Andrew of her fears for him and he comforts her.  Then, together, they drift to sleep.  ("Shadowlands")

In "Glad Tidings Part II," Kemara thinks back over the events of the past few days - covered in “Shadowlands”. Sean predicts that JenniAnn will wake up today. The couple go for a walk on the beach before heading to breakfast at the theater. At breakfast Kemara and Eric talk about how Joshua changed their lives for the better. Max gets a phone call from Andrew saying JenniAnn has awakened from her coma. Max blesses the food as the breakfast turns into a celebration. Clay teases Sean about his accurate prediction while Kemara and Kylie discuss Kemara’s parents and how her mother has mellowed a great deal since her daughter’s marriage. Clay quotes Gandalf. Max asks if they have any messages for JenniAnn. When Kemara and Sean are alone they talk about what they would do if a medical emergency happened to one of them. Kemara decides to make a living will just in case. Sean suggests that everyone Skype chat with JenniAnn that night.

June 10, 2015- Portia enters JenniAnn's room and discovers her and Andrew behaving in a very prim and proper way.  The doctor's amused to learn that the two scandalized a nun who mistakenly entered the room while JenniAnn was sitting on Andrew's lap prompting her to yell "He's not my husband!", only too late realizing she may have inadvertently implied they were having an affair.  Thankfully, Andrew has a chance to smooth things over with Sr. Genevieve while JenniAnn's getting an x-ray.  When she returns, it's with the happy news that she can go home to Willowveil.  Once there, JenniAnn is greeted by many of the Friends who, at her request, sing a song together before brunch prep begins.  Afterwards, JenniAnn has more private visits on her balcony.  First, Max and Rose come and show her their save-the-date card and discuss their wedding plans.  They've decided to get married on June 25, 2016.    Max makes known his intent to accompany his Maja to the coming trial... and shares that he doesn't want a relationship with Rex.  JenniAnn assures him that all is well between them and nothing has changed while Andrew tells the young man that forgiving Rex doesn't mean having to be close to him.  After the fellows leave to make some butterbeer, Rose and JenniAnn catch up on how Max is doing and the couple's hopes for children.  They laugh over the idea of Andrew and JenniAnn soon being grandparents.  Afterwards, JenniAnn tells Catherine and Vincent about her visit with Jamey.  Jacob joins them and soaks up the praise from his big brother. 

That night, Andrew and JenniAnn get Ivy, Violeta, Belle, and Shelby settled into the nursery before retiring to their room.  JenniAnn apologizes for not being more honest with her parents and, thus, inadvertently setting Andrew up to face their anger.  Andrew then gives JenniAnn a rundown of what to do with their finances if he should have to be away for a while.  They fall asleep in each other's arms.  ("Shadowlands")

 In "Glad Tidings Part II," at JenniAnn’s “welcome home” party, Kemara and Sean wander around Willowveil taking candid photos of their friends. Sean, Emma and Eric discuss what to have for dinner and decide on burgers. Kemara and Sean begin cutting up vegetables. Andrew, Max and Belle join them to mix up some butterbeer. Kemara takes Belle and the two go feed carrots to Belle’s bunny, Harvey. Sean, Andrew and Max talk about how good it is to have JenniAnn home. Andrew admits that he told JenniAnn’s parents about the twins and mentions that they might want to apologize to Kemara and Sean for their reaction at the hospital. Everyone enjoys dinner, and Kemara says she is looking forward to a long, dreamless sleep.

 June 11, 2015- Nen and Tzila strike by sending nightmares to all the Friends in Dyeland.  When she awakens, JenniAnn has another grand mal seizure which only adds to Andrew's and the girls' horror.  Terrified, the entire household and other Friends convene in the ballroom and spend the rest of the night together.  Andrew begins to fret that it's being close to him that is causing the demons to strike.  Rather than let him go off alone, everyone starts to offer reasons of why they absolutely cannot be apart from Andrew.  Touched, he relents and remains with them.  The group also decides to spend the following night in the Fields of Gold since, at Easter, Joshua seemed to say that they were strongest there.  They drift into smaller groups and several of the adults discuss the content of their nightmares, realizing that none give any indication that Nen and Tzila can read their minds.  They also conclude that only Andrew actually saw the demons.  While several of the angels remain awake to keep guard, others try to get more sleep.  They succeed without anyone suffering further nightmares.

When they wake up again, Andrew tells JenniAnn that he had a dream/vision in which Michael appeared to him and told him Nen and Tzila would challenge him to come to Sheol at 10 the following morning.  JenniAnn is horrified but Andrew consoles her.  They visit with Vincent who explains the plans for the day and how everyone is ensuring they're never alone, even when some have to head to work.  Dr. Talson stops by and orders JenniAnn to rest since putting her on medication, not knowing what side effects she might have, isn't best.  Afterwards, the group travels to the Fields of Gold where Sam appears and explains the significance of the Fields and how Andrew was created from the same essences.  Through Sam, Joshua promises that the Friends will always be safe there.  However, they all agree that hiding away isn't what he planned for them.  Andrew reiterates his intent to face Nen and Tzila so they know no one is going to back down.  Then, to lighten the mood, they all play Hide-and-Seek.

In Manhattan, Monica is alarmed when Henry discovers a summons on the counter of her food truck.  Henry and Tess step out of the truck to investigate while Liam and Monica remain inside, praying for Andrew.  Arthur and Zeke meet up with them and they all travel to the Fields where Henry hands the scroll off to Andrew.  The four angels of death and Reuel read it together and begin to make plans to keep the humans safe while Andrew's away.  Gabe arrives and tells them that the angelic orchestra will stick around to help. 

That evening, Andrew and JenniAnn get Belle and Shelby to bed then console Max, Rose, and Violeta.  Leaving JenniAnn with the kids, Andrew goes outside to pray.  After a while, he's joined by JenniAnn and they dance (as Joshua foresaw in "The Walk").  Andrew remains outside to pray for a bit longer then rejoins JenniAnn inside one of the cabins.  They talk about their kids and comfort each other.  JenniAnn falls asleep first and, after another prayer, Andrew follows her.  ("Shadowlands")

 In "Glad Tidings Part II," Sean has a demon-induced nightmare that Kemara is in labor and he is racing to get to her. When he arrives at the hospital, the staff won’t let him see her. He fights his way into the room only to watch helplessly as the twins are delivered by C-section - dead. Kemara hemorrhages and dies as well.

Kemara dreams that the twins are born with Portia in attendance. A nurse slips away and returns with government officials who take Joy away because she is “defective”. Sean tries to fight them and is tasered. Months later, Kemara and Sean visit Joy for the first time at the government facility that resembles the worst insane asylum you’ve ever heard about. Joy is being kept behind a glass wall, and her parents are not allowed to touch or talk to her. She appears to recognize her parents and cries for them. Sean once again grapples with the officials.

Sean wakes up and realizes that it was all a horrible nightmare. Kemara is already awake and they comfort each other for a moment. Portia calls and then Ivy texts to tell them that a group is coming to escort them to Willowveil. At the castle, Kemara admits that talking about the nightmare with their friends helped a little bit. To cheer them up, Kemara suggests that Sean start reading to the twins and quotes a poem by Shel Siverstein.

The next morning, Sean and Kemara discuss the group’s plans for the day. After returning to Sol Mate for a nap and clean clothes, the couple return to Willowveil. Sean goes with some others to get groceries while Kemara helps Emma, Tiva, Shelby and Violeta make breakfast. Emma suggests they invite the Tunnel children and any adults who want to come, to the Fields of Gold. Vincent agrees with the plan.

In the Fields, Kemara and Sean help April and Misty set up their tent and join in the game of hide-and-seek. They share a romantic moment in the boathouse but are “found” by Kylie and Clay. Over lunch Kemara and Sean talk with Portia and JenniAnn’s parents. Owen shows off his sketches for the twins’ nursery - based on a “Lion King” theme. They ask Adam for Biblical quotations based on the twins’ names - Miriam Joy and Gabriel Ian.

That night, the group stargazes and names a Dyeland constellation “The Lion” in honor of Joshua.

 June 12, 2015- Andrew and JenniAnn wake up and share an idyllic few minutes with their brood.  Afterwards, they join the others for breakfast.  Once everyone's eaten, Andrew begins his "see you laters."  It's, understandably, pretty emotional.  Andrew brings JenniAnn into the woods, not wanting the others to see him disappear.  They kiss and then Andrew disappears, leaving JenniAnn with Vincent and Owen who had followed them at Andrew's behest. 

Andrew arrives in Sheol and hurries to a carpentry shop which he knows was Yosef's.  Nen and Tzila promptly confront and taunt him.  Tzila tries to make him believe that JenniAnn sustained permanent lung damage and is likely to die young.  Andrew doesn't believe her and challenges the two.  In retaliation, they make Andrew see all the nightmares they inflicted on his loved ones.

Back in Dyeland, JenniAnn is distracted and worried as she helps bake cupcakes.  Owen and Raquel present her with an idea: the ladies will take her shopping for a nice nightgown to wear the first night after Andrew returns.  She eventually realizes the idea isn't completely silly and agrees.  Owen goes to fetch Kemara who has awoken from a nap so she can go, too.  Ultimately, they end up at a fabric store since JenniAnn doesn't find anything comfortably situated between frumpy and sexy aka simply pretty.

In Sheol, Andrew is reeling from the nightmares but is touched to realize none of his friends greatest fears involved harm to themselves... it was always their loved ones.  Nen and Tzila try to psych Andrew out by reminding him of all the violence he's witnessed without intervening.  Andrew recalls counsel from JenniAnn and fights them off.  He falters, though, when he sees a familiar face: Eben.  Nen and Tzila begin to attack the shades who are observing them.  Andrew realizes they're the Nephilim and he tries to get the demons to stop whipping them.  Once they give up, Nen and Tzila complain about how unfair it is that God made them watch over humans but didn't give them the ability to procreate.  Andrew counters that God never took away their ability to have a family as he has... they squandered their chances.  Next, the demons try to get to Andrew by reminding him that JenniAnn will die and that Dyeland might fall apart.  In a vision, they show him a decrepit version of Willowveil in the future.  Worse yet, Nen tells Andrew how he and Tzila started their evil plot: they arranged for a young woman who had befriended Nen to be raped because he was jealous when she'd become engaged.  Andrew lashes out but the horrible images of that event bring him to his knees.

Meanwhile, the ladies have sequestered themselves in JenniAnn's room where Monica and Raquel are sewing her nightgown as she braids Violeta's hair.  The young angel breaks down and asks why God didn't just send Michael to take down Nen and Tzila.  JenniAnn comforts her by pointing out that, just as God chose to suffer for His children, Andrew felt he had to protect his own loved ones... not have someone go in his stead.  Monica and Raquel finish their sewing which ends up being two little, matching Wendy-style nightgowns for Belle and Shelby, a scarf for Violeta, and JenniAnn's gown.  The latter gets emotional trying hers on but the other women assure her that Andrew will appreciate it and, more importantly, be back with her soon.  Sean knocks on the door to tell them Josef needs to speak to JenniAnn.  She goes to him and he shows her the new pool table he bought for Andrew.  They step onto the balcony and JenniAnn tells Josef that she saw Sarah.  Josef is moved and comes to believe her when she relays a message from his beloved. 

Nen and Tzila subject Andrew to a vision in which he accidentally kills JenniAnn.  Not-quite-blissfully unaware, the real JenniAnn is partaking in Vincent-led storytime with the children.  Reuel comes to tell her that Violeta is growing anxious so the three of them discuss what Andrew might be facing and how the two ladies can be help him when he returns.  Reuel, who was once himself captured by Nen and Tzila, urge JenniAnn and Violeta to allow Andrew to be near them more than usual... although not to a stifling, uncomfortable degree... and to not press him to talk about his time in Sheol. 

Andrew is devastated and weakened in Sheol.  Thankfully, Eben chooses that moment to challenge Nen and Tzila.  He tells Andrew to go into Yosef's shop to rest while he battles the two.  It works for a while but when Nen and Tzila begin to remind Eben of his evil works, Andrew's former partner starts to fade.  Andrew prays and is answered when a sword appears on the floor of Yosef's shop.  He grabs it and drives it through the demons' chests.  Turns out it does no actual harm but, having been carved by God, reminds the two demons of the glorious angels they once were.  The memories cause them to grieve over who they've become.  Michael appears and tells Eben he has work to do.  After the redeemed angel disappears in a beam of light, Michael tells Andrew that Eben is on the same island where JenniAnn was.  He'll meet with God there and get back on the right path.  Michael then tells Nen and Tzila that they'll need to relearn to rely solely on God and serve Him and others.  He then addresses the shades of the Nephilim, inviting them to go to a place where they can feel and accept God's love.  Some agree to go on while others remain.  Michael and Andrew escort the group to God's Country/ Purgatory.  ("Shadowlands")

June 13, 2015- JenniAnn, Violeta, Max, Rose, Fawn, Lulu, and Shelby all slept in Belle's nursery with her.  JenniAnn awakens and prays for Max and Rose after momentary envy over their being together when she's without Andrew.  Violeta gets up and snuggles with her for a little bit until JenniAnn gets up to fetch coffee and... runs into Joshua.  The resulting commotion wakes everyone else in the room up and Joshua gets a big group hug.  Joshua relays that Andrew will be home in less than an hour. 

In God's Country, Nen and Tzila learn that they'll be building homes for the Nephilim who may yet arrive there.  Those Nephilim who came with them have a pleasant village to live in while they come to terms with their part in the demons' evil plot.  Just before he returns to Dyeland, Michael tells Andrew that the wooden sword is his to keep.  Andrew feels ambivalent about it... Joshua carved it but it reminds him of Nen and Tzila... so Michael offers to take it Home for now.  Andrew accepts and invites Michael to the cupcake party at Dyeland.  The archangel agrees to stop by after he's relayed the good news of Nen's and Tzila's defeat to El-Chanan and Reuels's Rafiq and Riva in Heaven.  Andrew leaves God's Country.
Back in Dyeland, Monica is counting down the minutes on Andrew's former pocket watch.  JenniAnn moves beneath the willow tree to welcome Andrew back and Joshua starts juggling in order to distract the others.  Andrew reappears and he and JenniAnn share an affectionate reunion.  Group hugs ensue when the two step out from beneath the willow tree.  Joshua makes sure to get a photo of Andrew, JenniAnn, and their four kids.  Then the cupcake eating commences.  A bit later, Reuel and Joshua visit with Andrew who is broken up about Selam, the girl Nen and Tzila set up to be raped.  Reuel informs Andrew that Selam eventually fled with her children and helped found the village of Nogah.  Rafiq and Riva were born of her line.  Andrew is heartened by this very important epilogue. 

That evening, some of the Friends and Joshua clean up after dinner.  Eric finds himself singing a tune from Camelot and Emma and Peter agree that they should figure it into their next season.  Joshua agrees to let Andrew direct.  The group decides to rehearse for the benefit/revue after Joshua assures them that they won't disturb Andrew and JenniAnn.  As the two walk over from Serendipity, with Max and Rose, after getting the girls settled in, Max asks to take a photo of their joined hands.  After happily complying, Andrew and JenniAnn enter the castle to find their friends rehearsing in the ballroom.  Joshua steps out to extend everyone's love and wish Andrew and JenniAnn a good night then, after ushering Max and Rose inside, he promptly shuts the door.  Laughing at the very pointed expulsion from the ballroom, Andrew and JenniAnn head up to their room.  They share a dance and Andrew begins to shake off the chill and horror of the past day.  As they snuggle, he tells JenniAnn about Eben's efforts on his behalf.  Andrew concludes that it's why he had to face Nen and Tzila: no one else could reach Eben as he could.  The two then drift into a peaceful sleep.  ("Shadowlands")

June 14, 2015- After a morning service in the Fields, Andrew and JenniAnn take a walk and admire their friends and family.  Joshua joins them and fills in the missing details of Eben's story, explaining how Andrew's and JenniAnn's bond was what began to break Eben away from Satan's clutches.  In turn, Eben used their story to reach the Nephilim, making it easier for them to trust Michael.  Joshua relays Eben's wish to visit Andrew and JenniAnn which they agree to.  Then he gives Andrew the rest of the summer off and urges the two to take a vacation with the Friends.  Joshua also tells the two and Reuel that he'll be adding another stop to the gazebo, uniting Dyeland and El-Chanan. 

Most everyone returns home and, by the evening, Andrew and JenniAnn are alone to relax and sleep.  After drifting off, JenniAnn dreams of her time with Cora, Sophia, and Chava.  They discussed the importance of communication, verbal and nonverbal, and JenniAnn began to desperately long for Andrew.  Upon waking up, JenniAnn smiles as she realize that Joshua plotted it so, though she had a choice, there would be no doubt that she'd return to her life with Andrew.  Andrew, too, wakes up but from a nightmare.  JenniAnn consoles him but her kisses and caresses are interrupted by Raquel bringing a sobbing Belle to them.  They let her get into their bed and JenniAnn uses Badriya's lullaby to lull baby and Daddy to sleep.  ("Shadowlands")

Mid-June- Per Ivy in "Shadowlands," Joccy and Zoe vacationed at Serendipity then.

June 21, 2015- With house preparations nearly done, Eilish celebrates her homecoming and first birthday after returning to Dyeland.  Her godparents, Elizabeth and Thomas O'Malley, arrive with a basket of berries just as they do every year on her birthday.  They're overjoyed to discover Eilish is actually there.  As they celebrate, the O'Malleys tells Eilish about her parents and Asteriana.

June 23, 2015- In "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Eilish celebrates the date with a bonfire and snacks with her guardian angel, Samuel, and Elizabeth and Thomas O'Malley.  Eilish initially faints upon meeting Samuel!  However, a bit later they have a very nice, tender reunion.

June 25, 2015- On that day and a few following it, Samuel and Thomas working on getting utilities hooked up for Eilish's home.  ("Crumbling Walls")

June 27, 2015- Clay and Kylie get married.  Their reception and wedding take place at the Romano Family Farm with Joshua in attendance.  Adam accompanied them on their honeymoon tour of the Sibling Cities.  Obviously he made himself scarce at times!  (Their wedding date is shared by Cody and Eleora, one of Reuel's descendants, who get married in El-Chanan earlier in the day with Andrew, JenniAnn, and Joshua in attendance.)  Per Joshua, Maryam and Yosef visited Sean and Kemara on this date and John helped Fr. Mike with his web pages.  The whole family attended Kylie's and Clay's wedding festivities.  At the wedding, Andrew and Clay have a heart-to-heart about their girls and their lives with them and hope.  Then the two couples dance!  ("The King," "Shadowlands")  In "Hope and Healing," Andrew, JenniAnn, and the four kids, with Rose, settle in at Willowveil for the night after Clay's and Kylie's wedding.  Andrew and JenniAnn dance and get to talking about the wedding she planned as a teenager.  Happily, they decide much of it can be salvaged as one of their anniversary parties.  After getting into bed, they discuss the Adam-Kylie-Clay situation and hope Adam is handling the wedding night okay.  Andrew reveals his concerns about Eben's pending visit and JenniAnn comforts him before they both go to sleep.  In "Triad," Joshua spends quality time with Adam and counsels/consoles him as Clay and Kylie embark on their wedding night.  In their house a few yards away, Kylie helps Clay overcome his unease regarding his scars and the two have a romantic first night together.

 In "Glad Tidings Part II," Kemara finishes telling Maryam and Yosef about the events since that night in the Fields. They mention that Andrew seems more pensive after his encounter with the demons. The younger couple confess that they wish they had had more time after their marriage to enjoy being a couple. Maryam and Yosef point out that they can still enjoy couple time and that it was essential to their own marriage.

 June 28, 2015- After attending Mass at St. Mary Magdalene's, the family splits up with Max, Rose, and Violeta taking Shelby and Belle to the Brooklyn Children's Museum.  Andrew and JenniAnn pray in the chapel then meet with Eben.  It starts out cordial but then Andrew expresses his anger over the times Eben put JenniAnn at risk.  Extremely apologetic, Eben explains why he did that and reflects on how he missed so many highlights in his friend's life.  He admits that it would have been wrong to bypass free will and save Hope, something Hope herself has stressed to him.  Andrew and JenniAnn accept his apology and the former agrees to work with Eben on repairing their friendship. 

That evening, Max and Andrew are cleaning up after dinner when Max asks his dad if they can talk.  Sensing the need for privacy, Andrew invites him to his office.  Turns out Max never got a proper birds and the bees talk.  Andrew tries his best but they end up calling Zeke for guidance.  Meanwhile, Rose and JenniAnn are having their own discussion.  Rose asks JenniAnn if she and Andrew might consider adopting Max.  Not only does she believe it'd help her fiance but, that way, Andrew and JenniAnn would be their children's grandparents which offers certain protections.  Later, JenniAnn broaches the subject with Andrew who happily agrees.  They plan to discuss the matter with Catherine, for legal counsel, and then ask Max the following day.  ("Hope and Healing")

 In "Triad," Joshua sees Adam, Clay, and Kylie off on their honeymoon which starts in El-Chanan.  Eleora and Cody join them for a tour of historical areas led by Reuel.  At one stop, Kylie confronts Adam who has been hanging back and not talking much with her and Clay.  She stresses to him that they invited him along because they wanted to hear from him, not just because they wanted him to deal with any gawkers.  Adam sees the error of his ways and agrees to be himself.  That evening, he and Reuel talk after the newlyweds retire.  Reuel reveals that he was concerned Nen and Tzila would have attacked Adam more forcefully given his love and respect for Kylie challenges Nen's odious behavior.  Adam reveals the demon-imposed nightmare he did have to Reuel: Clay's and Kylie's house started on fire with both inside and he could save neither.  They rejoice in the fact that it's all behind them now and make plans for the El-Chananites to come to Dyeland to enjoy the amusement park.

June 29, 2015- With Catherine's encouragement, Andrew and JenniAnn decide to ask Max about a legal adoption.  They take him and Rose to the Fields of Gold for dinner and, over dessert, ask him if he'd be interested.  Naturally, Max gets emotional and heartily agrees.  ("Hope and Healing") 
In "Triad,"  Adam, Clay, and Kylie visit the zoo in Omaha where they enjoy quality time with overly affectionate (and hungry) baby goats, see a baby seal nurse, and witness a tiger couple enjoying "special time."  After shopping downtown, they travel to L.A. for the evening where they enjoy dinner and dancing.  Clay expresses concern about alarming children at Disneyland the next day and suggests Adam should take Kylie alone.  The angel refuses and calms Clay's fears. 

June 30, 2015- Adam, Clay, and Kylie have a fun-filled day at Disneyland.  At the end of their evening, they have coffee and beignets and talk.  Adam shares his beliefs that, somehow, God brought them close even before they met and allowed them to help each other through tough times.  Clay and Kylie are very moved by this idea.  After leaving the park, they talk long into the night on the balcony of Adam's hotel room.  ("Triad")

 July 1, 2015- Andrew has a brutal nightmare in which JenniAnn is abducted and, seemingly, raped.  In waking life, JenniAnn looks on, weeping, having been asked by Andrew to not awaken him from nightmares since he might inadvertently hurt her whilst coming out of a sleep terror.  When he does wake up, she calms him and they make plans to go to class Below together in the morning.  They decide that Andrew should spend some time with Vincent.
While JenniAnn helps Owen with his art class, Andrew and Vincent go off to "the roaring chamber."  Vincent gets Andrew to open up about his nightmare and posits that maybe it has less to do with the echoes of Nen's and Tzila's influence than it does Andrew's own concerns about not always being able to protect his loved ones, a concern that increased after JenniAnn was shot.  Andrew begins to rail against Rex, screaming and pounding on the chamber walls.  Vincent encourages him to recognize that JenniAnn doesn't expect him to always protect her and that, while his anger at Rex is justified, his anger at himself isn't.  Andrew recognizes the truth in this and they return to Owen's classroom.  ("Hope and Healing")

 After visiting Seneca Falls and the Finger Lakes National Forest with Adam, Clay and Kylie retire to their room.  Adam finds himself unable to sleep and feeling lonely in his own room.  Thankfully, Eli shows up to keep him company.  They get to talking about his relationship with Sophia.  Eli shares an account of attending a protest in 1968 that turned violent.  He was attacked by racists when he tried to carry a wounded Sophia away.  Adam confides his concerns about helping Clay and Kylie through the death of the other, in time, but Eli helps allay those fears.  The conversation takes a lighter turn as they fix second sarsaparilla floats.  ("Triad")
