Lords of Kobol, hear my prayer...

I liked that balance too, that isn't not a simple fact of that all religious people will automatically believe in anything miraculous. There are people of faith who are skeptical, and of course there's the sense that some will act on human instinct rather than believing. Amelia felt uncertain, she felt scared, for Jimmy and for their daughter, and I think she acted the only way she knew how in that situation.

Was their regret on both their ends? Of course. Jimmy felt bad for leaving his family behind and Amelia felt bad for pushing him away -- and while the Novak family story is depressing in the end, it was shown to be realistic in the sense of the emotions between the characters and their relationship as a family. And that's why I love that episode more and more when I rewatch it.
