Episode 17 opens with Michelle preparing to return home after more than a year marked by chaos and recovery. Pastor Brown and the church community gather funds to purchase her bus ticket, reminding her she belongs and that grace is still available. Michelle is torn between fear and hope, unsure how her father will respond, but determined to take the first step toward healing.
In Wichita, Jeremiah takes a quiet walk through Old Town with Cara nearby when he unexpectedly sees Michelle stepping off a Greyhound bus. The narrator’s song “Grace on the Street” highlights the emotional moment as father and daughter run toward each other and embrace. Michelle confesses she wasn’t sure he’d want her back, but Jeremiah simply tells her, “Let’s go home.”
The episode ends with Jeremiah joyfully preparing a Jamaican-style feast to celebrate Michelle’s return. Cara helps organize the meal and the invitations as the choir sings “Welcome Back Home,” setting a tone of restoration, reunion, and unconditional love. Episode 17 captures both the fragility of repentance and the overwhelming welcome of grace.
