Last episode: Something Wicked This Way Comes
God tells Joan that her last two years were just practice for her greatest challenge, which will be to face off against a mysterious man who, though he also talks to God, has a sinister agenda... Initially, Joan is simply curious about Ryan Hunter, the charming, wealthy and influential man who revealed to her that he also speaks to God, and who rescued Adam from the woods during a storm. However, she soon discovers Ryan's dark side and is alarmed that he's insinuated himself into the lives of her loved ones, who are quick to dismiss Joan's qualms about him.

"My new best friend"
A great new show to the UK with a feel good factor AND lighthearted Godly teaching which hopefully will encourage people to think about their actions and the consequences.

"Who thought of this?"
How can someone mouth off to God and not get a lightning bolt on her ass?

"Needs fine-tuning"
This show had to go. The storyline got so weak, it cannot possibly have been sustained any longer.

"Bring it back!"
Oh television! Why must you go and rid yourself of the shows that actually are worth watching? Why must we be subjected to BAD TV in place of critically acclaimed-expertly written- brilliantly acted television- such as Joan of Arcadia? WHY?
