The Righteous Gemstones Recap: Teenjus Saves
It seems Baby Billy can sense the decline of the Gemstone empire and aims to extract as much money as he can before the ministry falls apart.
Not that it doesn’t have plenty of fun on the margins, but the gears of the plot have to grind a little to set up confrontations to come, from Vance Simkins’s all-out war against the Gemstones to Lori Milsap’s troubled romantic history to the possible collapse of the ministry itself, now that the kids’ one successful initiative may be running afoul of the “outdated” parts of the Bible. While you can’t feel the heavy lifting too much, there’s less space here for the show to play around, at least in scenes that don’t involve Baby Billy trying to turn a smoldering teenage Jesus (or Teenjus) into his latest television smash. After his latest mini-mall ministry was almost certainly torched by the Gemstones, Simkins is ready to have his revenge on Kelvin, who’s so high on his own supply that he doesn’t see the live TV discussion panel for Top Christ Following Man as anything more than a brand-extension opportunity.
