Oh, God! Book II

As the sun sets on another ordinary day, young Tracy Richards (Louanne) and her neighbor, Shingo (John Louie), engage in a spirited game of basketball, their laughter and shouts carrying through the evening air. But as they pause to catch their breath, Tracy's divorced father, Don Richards (David Birney), arrives on the scene, his red Jeep a beacon signaling the start of an unexpected adventure. With Tracy's mother, Paula (Suzanne Pleshette), giving her blessing for the outing, Don and Tracy set off into the unknown, leaving Shingo to ponder their departure.

As they savor the flavors of Chinese cuisine, Don's thoughts turn to the sci-fi movie they had watched earlier, his critiques flowing like a gentle stream. But Tracy has other ideas, her imagination sparked by the supernatural themes that have captured her attention. As Don steps away to make a phone call, Tracy cracks open a fortune cookie, its cryptic message reading: "Meet me in the lounge - God." A second cookie reinforces the message, leaving no doubt about the divine visitor's intentions.

In the lounge, the red lacquer door swings open, and a man's voice beckons Tracy to enter. The introduction of herself as God sets off a chain reaction of events that challenge her perceptions and understanding of the world. As Don returns from his call, Tracy's excitement is palpable, but it's not until they're on the ride home that she begins to question what has transpired. Her father, ever the pragmatist, reassures her that daydreams are a natural part of life, but Tracy can't shake off the feeling that something extraordinary has occurred.

It's only when Don leaves her momentarily alone in the parked car that God reappears, this time taking on the form of an elderly gentleman (George Burns) clad in a gray jacket, black-rimmed glasses, and a bright red shirt. As Tracy ponders the disconnect between her expectations and reality, God laments the lack of faith in his existence, citing Charlton Heston's iconic portrayal as the root of modern misconceptions. Heeding her suggestion to create an advertising slogan that will resonate with children, Tracy embarks on a creative journey, only to be aided by her father's expertise in crafting effective marketing messages.

As the evening wears on, Tracy turns to Rosa (Alma Beltran), their trusted housekeeper, seeking validation for her experience. But Rosa's response serves as a gentle reality check, reminding Tracy that her imagination can sometimes run wild. It's only when she confides in Shingo about her adventure with God that he begins to question the boundaries between fantasy and reality. And yet, it's this very ambiguity that allows Tracy to tap into the power of faith and creativity, ultimately shooting for the stars like never before.

In the midst of her academic struggles at school, Tracy (character) finds herself under scrutiny by her teacher, Miss Hudson, who accuses her of being distracted and failing to complete assignments. However, Tracy's inability to explain her lack of enthusiasm only adds to the mystery surrounding her inattention. Meanwhile, back at home, Tracy becomes increasingly fixated on television advertisements, driven by an insatiable desire to decipher the perfect slogan for God. As she obsessively watches The Johnny Carson Show, a sudden and inexplicable phenomenon occurs: God materializes before her very eyes.

The divine visitor listens intently as Tracy shares her ideas, ultimately tasking her with crafting a winning slogan within a week's time. With Shingo by her side, Tracy embarks on a creative journey that culminates in the triumphant phrase "Think God." The next day, at a local McDonald's, Tracy proudly presents her masterpiece to God, who then charges her with spreading the word. Despite initial reservations about the added responsibility potentially jeopardizing her academic performance, Tracy finds herself swept up in the fervor of sharing her newfound message.

However, tensions arise when Paula Richards, Tracy's mother, receives a letter from Miss Hudson expressing concern over her daughter's inattention. When Tracy reveals that God has personally visited her, Paula is skeptical, prompting Tracy to feel pressureed to catch up on her schoolwork while simultaneously juggling the demands of spreading God's message.

As the situation escalates, Tracy confides in God about the difficulties she faces, and He responds by completing her math homework. Later, Don and Paula question their daughter about her claims, but Tracy remains resolute in her story about God's involvement. The parents ultimately decide to monitor Tracy's behavior for a few more days before taking further action.

Meanwhile, at school, the principal, Mr. Benson, convenes a meeting with the Richards family to address Tracy's refusal to cease her God campaign. When Paula warns Tracy that continued defiance could result in expulsion, the teenager proposes a compromise: she will stop spreading God's message only if He agrees to the plan. The school psychologist learns of the unusual circumstances surrounding Tracy's relationship with God, which began at a Chinese restaurant with a fortune cookie, leading the principal to suspend Tracy and the psychologist to recommend professional help for the young girl.

As Tracy's schoolmates rally outside the gates of her alma mater, an emotional plea for her return, Don and Paula turn to Dr. Jerome Newell (Anthony Holland) in desperation. The esteemed psychiatrist subjects Tracy to a series of rigorous tests, designed to penetrate the depths of her psyche, only to emerge with a diagnosis that Tracy has conjured a fantasy father figure as a coping mechanism for her tumultuous home life, following her parents' divorce. Dr. Newell posits that this imagined figure serves as a surrogate for the limited connection she shares with her real father, and concludes that Tracy is suffering from psychosis rather than any underlying medical condition.

Confronted with the possibility of institutionalization in Santa Barbara, California, Tracy embarks on a spiritual odyssey, seeking solace in various churches and synagogues. Her quest ultimately proves futile, as she remains unable to find the divine presence she so desperately craves.

As tensions mount, Tracy makes a break for freedom, finding temporary refuge at Shingo's grandparents' abode before fleeing once more, this time to Union Train Station. It is here that her journey takes an extraordinary turn, as God finally materializes, offering Tracy a gentle rebuke for her flight and persuading her that running away from her problems is not the answer. Seated in the sidecar of a motorcycle, Tracy is whisked back home, leaving two befuddled police officers in their wake.

Meanwhile, news of Tracy's inspirational slogan has gone global, sparking international enthusiasm. In court, a presiding judge requests the convening of a panel of psychiatrists to assess Tracy's mental health and determine her suitability for school. The medical experts deliver their verdict, but just as all hope seems lost, God reappears, introducing himself as Dr. Stevens, a psychiatrist with an uncanny understanding of the human psyche.

As he effortlessly vanishes and reappears, conjuring chandeliers and manipulating time itself, the assembled doctors are left agog, their professional composure utterly shattered. The Richards family is finally reunited with their daughter, free to celebrate at their favorite Chinese restaurant.

Within the confines of a fortune cookie, Tracy receives a poignant message, which sets her on a path to the lounge where God awaits, offering heartfelt thanks for her friends' unwavering support. Though Tracy must come to terms with the possibility that she may never lay eyes on her celestial benefactor again, he reassures her that she will always be his go-to ally in times of crisis, should he require her assistance in overcoming a monumental challenge.
