Joan of Arcadia: "Death Be Not Whatever"

Detective Will Girardi's (Joe Mantegna) daughter, Joan (Amber Tamblyn), is deeply troubled, but not by the typical angst and rebellion that plagues kids her age. In fact, she's very much unlike her peers in one regard: Unbeknownst to her parents and siblings, she's the modern-day incarnation of the young saint Joan of Arc. And as God appears before her in various incarnations, she's moved to heed God's directions to help those in deep trouble. (From synopsis on "Netflix")

The following is an excerpt from the Season 1 episode "Death Be Not Whatever" in which Joan babysits 8-year-old Rocky who is obsessed with death. During her experience, Joan discovers why her friend Adam Rove is cranky during the month of November. Like their first meeting in the pilot episode, God appears to Joan as a young man in his late teens.
