Holy Mackerel

Nach dem Treffen mit Pater McAndrew, beschließt Carrie mal wieder zu beten. Sie betet für billigere Schuhe und es geschieht am nächsten Tag. Sie ist natürlich total begeistert von diesem "beten". Doug gefällt das alles garnicht. Nachdem Pater McAndrew durch ein Gebet von Carrie sehr krank wird, gibt sie sich die Schuld.

Doug and Carrie run into Father McAndrew at the fish market. They exchange pleasantries and as they are parting ways, Father McAndrew tells them that he would love to see them in church sometime. Unsure of how to decline politely, the Heffernans instead agree to attend Sunday's services. During the service, Carrie reflects on the one thing that she really needs help with – a raise. Miraculously, the following day, Carrie receives word that her prayers have been answered and that she is getting her raise. Much to Doug's dismay, Carrie's prayers turn to more frivolous things – like shoe sales. He does his best to convince her that God would never approve of her prayers, but soon enough Carrie catches Doug praying for the Jets to win their latest football game. Meanwhile, Arthur hosts an open house in order to sell the house. Unfortunately, he hasn't mentioned a word of his efforts to Doug or Carrie, the homeowners.

Efter at hun får den lønforhøjelse, hun har bedt til Gud om, begynder Carrie at bede om alle mulige ting. Doug kan ikke dy sig, og begynder også at bede om små ting.
