In the first episode, we are introduced to God, Aslandeus, Craig, and the board. God has set 'the west end of Heaven' and the unicorn stables by burning a pizza in the oven yesterday in the episode. So, they decide that God needs to be rehabilitated - and surprise, the Higgins family has a prayer to be answered! So, God is sent down to Earth, where he crash-lands in a playground and we get to see Godcat.
