During the course of Caleb's reign of terror, Rafe revealed that Caleb had been responsible for his death. Rafe had tried to prevent Caleb from killing a young woman—but when his back was turned, Caleb took his life instead.
As the holidays neared, Rafe's heavenly boss, Ed, gave him until Christmas to undo the harm done by Caleb.

His relationship with Alison had caused more trouble between Alison and Jamal. Rafe pleaded with Ed to allow him to return to Earth and undo the damage he'd caused.

He agreed and returned to Earth having to come to terms with his humanity - something he hadn't experienced in quite some time.
Rafe's goal was to reunite Jamal and Alison, but his mission took an abrupt turn when he realized that he had fallen in love with Alison and she felt the same.
