He appointed his brother, Nathan (Matt Letscher, The New Adventures of Old Christine), his proxy in case the surgery left him in a vegetative state -- which it did. With Eli in a coma and Nathan wrestling with the decision of whether to take his brother off life support, Eli's spiritual guru, Dr. Chen (James Saito, I Think I Love My Wife), appealed to Nathan to give Eli more time. And with that reprieve granted, Eli was able to make peace with God -- through a George Michael musical number, of course -- and awake from his coma." 10pm ET.
