Twice in a Lifetime

A woman falls asleep after drinking and dies from smoke inhalation. She gets a second chance to change her life of alcohol, help her marriage and become closer to her son.

Roger Stovall's son Steven disappears during a fishing trip and Roger lets everyone, from the sheriff down to his wife know what he thinks of their search. But after a hard day's work at the IRS, he sees his son, runs after him, and is killed by a car. Othniel tries to tell him about caring for other people, such as an IRS case where Roger cold-heartedly closed a man's dog shelter, but it's only when Roger is sent back and sees how he treats his family that he truly understands and gets his younger, rule-following self to change. But when Roger is returned to the present, he has to relive the disappearence of his son - his kindness didn't prevent it... and Roger blames Mr Jones...

Grace, an ambitious OB/GYN doctor who never stop doing what it takes for her to get ahead in life, dies when she fails to stop her car at a railway crossing. Othniel accuses her of being self-centered, to the point of competing with her loving husband, Sam, and ending his career at the hospital. Sent back as a nurse, Grace (now known as Daisy) immediately get on her younger self's nerves - and at the same time attract the attention of Sam. Sam's wandering eyes makes young Grace even more cold, and Jones has his problems trying to talk Grace/Daisy out of taking her last chance at a real date with her husband...

Ray, a firefighter with an outstanding record dies at the hand of his own son Richie. Ray's problems with his son began when Richie beat up another boy and Ray then covered it up. Mr Smith, who had died in a fire Ray had fought, is his newly appointed guide - and not a very willing one.

Bitter recluse Nancy, who cares more about her cats than about people, ironically dies from being hit in the head by a cat statue. Othniel wants to give her a second chance to learn to like people, and takes her back to the orphanarium, where she used to dream about being adopted by the perfect mom from her favourite movie. Instead she had this harsh adoption board attendant, who hates cats. While her guide Mr Smith is taught a lesson in humility, and maybe something about himself, Nancy tries her best at getting her younger self adopted by the seemingly perfect woman. But things aren't always the way they seem... or how we remember them.

Rhonda, a divorced mother, discourages her daughter Molly from going out with a man she just met, because ""he's a man."" When Rhonda's hate for men causes her death moments later, Othniel argues that Molly will be alone her entire life, unless Rhonda goes back and somehow makes Molly open to love again. Rhonda agrees, but to her surprise, she comes back as the manager of a matchmaking company. But Molly isn't the only one who's having problems with love - and Rhonda doesn't even see that her friend, the baker Zeke is in love with her. Before he has the chance to tell her, Rhonda's ex-husband (who left her 11 years ago) comes back - and proposes! Neither Zeke nor Molly can understand it when Rhonda says yes... Finally, after a number of matchmaking attempts have failed, it's a cake that changes everything.
