Watch Engel in Amerika [OV]

Louis arranges a meeting with Prior as Joe visits Roy in the hospital. Prior drags Belize to the courthouse, and Roy paints a new view of heaven.

While Joe is being seduced by Louis, Prior is being aroused by the baffled Angel. Meanwhile, Roy's health worsens; Harper's hallucination is interrupted by reality; Prior tells Belize about his divine mission; and Hannah tries to help Harper.

Prior is visited by spectral namesake ancestors who herald the arrival of the messenger, and Roy is visited by the ghost of Ethel Rosenberg.

Louis abandons a hospitalized Prior as Joe and Roy confide in each other over drinks. Later, Prior hears voices from his hospital bed while Louis solicits sex from strangers, and Joe makes a drunken confession to his mother.
