The second episode is, “Midnight of the Century,” the main subject of the article that follows. Frank has a flashback when he was five years old, drawing a picture of an angel with the guiding hand of his mother, Linda Black. When finished she writes the date "12/24/1946" on the bottom of the paper. Shortly after, she went to her bedroom, and died that night.

As Christmas approaches in 1997, Frank's past returns to haunt him when he experiences visions from his childhood. When Frank exits the store where he was shopping for a Christmas gift for Jordan, he sees the image of a young man reflected in a shop window where an angel mannequin presides over a Nativity scene. The man says "tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow," words said by Frank's mother in his vision. But when Frank whirls around, the man has disappeared. Later on he sees the same man as he attends Jordan's pageant at church, hears him saying again, "tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow," and follows the man outside, where the man explains that ghosts, or fetches, the souls of those who are destined to die during the following year, make "their way to the church in search of those who will soon be their companions." Later, after the pageant ends, Catherine shows him a piece of paper with a drawn angel made by Jordan, who claims she was assisted by her deceased grandmother, Frank's mother.

Frank invites another gifted group member, Lara Means, to discuss the identical angel drawings. Lara is a highly professional forensic psychologist who frequently assisted Frank on Group assigned cases. She was also cursed by an angelic presence that warned her of imminent danger. Lara concludes that angels are attempting to communicate with Frank.

Frank returns to his father Henry's house after many years of separation and not speaking to each other. There, he enters the room where his mother died by herself. He discovers that every inch of wall space has been covered with images of angels. In a flashback, Frank recalls his mother saying goodbye to him for the very last time. Afterward, Henry describes how Linda first predicted the death of her brother, Joe, during the invasion of Normandy in 1945. Though Henry believed his wife's words, he feared she might be institutionalized if word of her ability spread. Eventually, Linda's prescience tore them apart, and eventually, Linda foretold her own death, December 24, 1946. Frank was hearing these things for the first time.

Though Henry admits he believed her, he nonetheless acted as if Linda was crazy. Before she died, Linda told Henry she would move an angel figurine "from the other side," as proof she was waiting for him. But the angel still sits, just as it had been left 51 years earlier, covered with dust. Frank shows his father the angel Jordan drew. With tears in his eyes, Henry picks up the dusty angel figurine, and hands it to his son, “A gift for Jordan,” and that he had received his sign from Frank's mother. She brought Frank to him. The place where the angel figure sat for so many years now has a picture of Jordan, Henry's first time seeing her face.

After leaving his father's house, Frank meets Jordan and Catherine at church. When Frank gives Jordan the angel figurine, she says, "Grandma wants me to have it." Frank and his daughter then gaze upon the churchyard, where they see spirits walking up to the church, one of whom is Henry. Frank watches as the specters vanish, comforted that he has made peace with his father.

As we all know, “Midnight” is 12 AM, and considered, the “Middle of the Night.” It is a time period, a moment of, “intense darkness or gloom,” also believed to be the, “deepest point of negativity.” Yet at the same time, mankind celebrates the arrival of a new year. In Moby's Thesaurus, there are two words to describe the word, “Midnight,” “Black,” and “Dead of Night.” The stroke of midnight is not a period of time, but a moment. In Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the Hebrew meaning for the root word of “Midnight,” is “to cut or split in two, halve, divide, to fold back, a spiral step.” In the Greek, it simply means, “midnight (especially as a watch), night, middle, midst, between.” On the other hand, since it's 00:00 AM and PM, then could this one moment have no meaning at all, none whatsoever? Something to think about. I personally disagree. I believe everything and every moment has a meaning and a purpose, whether it is in the light, or it is in darkness. In the King James translation of Exodus 20:21 it says:

So where we consider to be dark and empty; God is present.

Wings, usually symbolized by a feather, mean protection. Maybe that's why mankind put wings on angels, it gives man a sense of protection, and as Lara so elegantly (?) pointed out:
