Missionary (2013)
1/10
Ludicrous and implausible

Warning: Spoilers
This would never have escalated to the degree it did while he was still a missionary. Mormon missionaries are never allowed to be alone by themselves. There are also strict rules and protocols that prohibit male missionaries from teaching and interacting with single adults of the opposite sex. This single Mom would have been handed over to the girl missionaries in the area. And these days there are always at least four missionaries in an area who are watching each other's every move. It is always four to six elders in one apartment and pair of girl missionaries in their own apartment close by. So his sneaking out would be quite the feat to pull off. And the heart attack thing, even if the paramedics would not have allowed him to travel with them (which is extremely rare), he would not be allowed to walk back home. He would have had to find a phone and immediately call his companion or the other elders in his city or zone right there on the spot. Which would NEVER be done in a business district part of town (they only proselytize in residential areas). In this day and age with everyone having a cell phone, it would not have been a hard task to do. Also, when he was pretending to be sick, his companion would not have been allowed to leave. He would have had to stay there and miss the game. There would never be an exception or a choice in that. And the sneaking out thing is a huge "no no" and can get you sent home because it is against the rules. Whenever someone is caught doing such a thing, their companion or other missionaries in the area would have reported it to the missionary leader and the Elder would have been sent home immediately, especially if sex was involved. There would be no wait time, he'd have his bags packed and escorted onto a plane home within the hour for doing that. There is no second chance for that kind of offense. His mission would have ended right then and there.
