Plot

Monica, Tess, and Andrew celebrate Monica's 100th assignment. The party is soon over, though, when they meet Audrey (Wynonna Judd), a woman whose son Petey (Joseph Cross) is diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. Monica meets the family, and Petey's friend Cornelia (Mika Boorem) explains why Petey is always coughing. She also points out she is a big fan of Celine Dion, and nicknamed herself Celine.

Monica sees Petey on the porch with a notebook. What's in it is a list of things he wants to do before he dies. The items include: Learn to play the piano, find a home for Fluffy (his pet green iguana), find someone to sing with his Mom, find someone to shovel the snow. With Tess and Andrew’s help these things come to pass (Tess reluctantly agrees to take care of the iguana). Petey and the angels move on to the more tricky items on the list, including introducing Celine to the real Celine Dion.

Andrew and Petey blindfold Celine, and take her to the theater. There, she meets Celine Dion herself. The three of them enjoy the concert, especially her song "Love Can Move Mountains." However, after the concert, Petey starts coughing again, but this time he coughs out blood. The ambulance come, but he wishes to be cared for in his home. He gets his wish.

Almost all the items on the list are completed, except two more. One of them being "Help Mom finish the song." Audrey starts crying, then Monica appears to Audrey as an angel, saying that Petey won't go to heaven until all the items on the list are complete.

The next morning, Tess gathered every single person that knows Petey, and Audrey takes Petey outside in a wheelchair. Tess then introduces the event: Audrey singing her finished song: "Testify to Love." After the song, Andrew takes Petey to heaven, then Monica crosses off the last item on the list: "Go to heaven."
