It
is during Christmas 1989 celebrations that Cruz crosses the way of his
guardian angel. Paddy, at the time of his meeting with Cruz, explains to
him why he is an angel, his guardian angel. But actually, as Paddy says
it, he is not completely an angel yet, since he is there to deserve his
wings...
His
mission is to give hope again to Cruz who, separated from Eden (she is
torn between her love for Cruz and the memory of Robert Barr, her first
love), seems to ignore his own life. After having won Cruz's full
attention, Paddy presents to him the life of the main characters of
Santa Barbara without him. Just like in Capra's movie It's a
Wonderful Life, of which this episode is freely inspired, Cruz
realizes that his life is beautiful, happy and especially that the home
he succeeded in building with Eden, Chip and Adriana is the most
beautiful of the riches.
Thanks
to the return of Cruz near his family, there is no doubt that Paddy will
have acquired his wings. Moreover, the bell offered to Cruz joyfully
tinkles, proof that an angel has just received his wings...
