When George gets a reap at a local college, she winds up meeting Charlotte, a student who shares her particularly slanted worldview towards life. Despite Rube's admonition not to mingle too closely with the living, George develops a close friendship with Charlotte. Mason, who went along with George on her reap and actually saved Charlotte from a date rape, falls madly in love with the young woman. He even tries to change his image and personality so that he would be more engaging to the poetry-loving Charlotte, who, unfortunately, has no real interest in him beyond a platonic friendship.

Roxy has her own problem while working at her meter maid job. She has an encounter with a surly man named Chuck whom she had just written a ticket. After Chuck goes off on Roxy, trashing her meter maid cart, he finally crosses the line by deliberately touching her after she firmly asked him not to. Roxy flies off the handle by pulling the man's soul right out of his body and giving him a good talking to. Although she places his soul back where it belongs, the damage is done: Chuck gets religion, and his god is none other than a magical meter maid named Roxy. As Chuck makes up his own mythology, and recruits others into his new-found religion, an angry Rube orders Roxy to fix this situation before it turns into another off-shoot religion like the Mormons (which, it is suggested, was the result of a simular encounter with a reaper all those years ago).

Meanwhile, Charlotte introduces George to her favorite teacher at the college--a man who turns out to be none other than George's own father. Clancy Lass does not recognize his deceased daughter, thanks to the different face George has been given once she became a reaper, and she takes advantage of this fact to try and find out how her family is doing, and whether or not they are still grieving for her. Unfortunately, in her zeal to uncover some news about her loved ones, George discovers that her father has a dark side, which may well lead to a disruption in the harmonic family life that she has always sought to return to. The title of "Sunday Mornings" refers to the weekly father/daughter breakfasts that George and her dad used to have when she was a child, and the entire episode deftly uses these idyllic flashbacks to show how people's wants and desires are usually based on idealistic expectations that never really existed in the first place. Sometimes it is best to move forward, as long as you do so with your eyes wide open to the reality before you.
