In this imaginative retelling of the Gospel story, an unnamed disciple connects with Jesus at a wedding in Cana in Galilee. Jesus's loving charisma and something deep inside the disciple calls him to join the small band of followers and then witness over and over Jesus's radical, inclusive love. This profound grace brings new life to many and infuriates others. After seeing Jesus's death by crucifixion, the disciple is devastated and loses hope. In the midst of his despair, another invitation comes in the form of a young Celt who invites him to walk the ancient path that will become known as the Camino Frances. A slow healing, new hope, and an unexpected reunion await.

Jack informs Happy they have a big show planned with three musical guests ready to dazzle their audience. But there's something suspiciously familiar about the acts that come trooping through the studio. Are they really who they say they are? As confusion, commercials, and chuckles ensue, will anything that happens during the Christmas special be enough to break Happy's sour mood?
