The Righteous Gemstones Season 3 Episode 2: A new threat reveals itself

Back at the church, tensions rise as the church ministers summon the Gemstone siblings for a meeting, which, from the past, is a sure sign of trouble ahead. Seeking assistance from their father, the Gemstone siblings find themselves caught up in a series of unexpected events.

Despite promising to resolve matters with the ministers, Eli's attention is diverted when he rushes to aid Mary's sons, who are on the run from their father. As a result, the responsibility of leading the meeting falls upon the Gemstone siblings. As expected, chaos ensues, leading to a comical shoe fight, all while Kelvin echoes his chant in the background, "We, the three, and you."

The highlight of the episode, however, arrives when Eli and his nephews get caught up in a thrilling car chase. Gideon, showing off his Hollywood skills, pulls off a daring stunt straight out of the Fast and Furious playbook, evading the pursuers and proving to his grandfather that he's the right man for the chauffeur job.

Season 3 wastes no time in establishing Peter and his militia as the primary antagonists moving forward. And though it's too early to make definitive judgments, Gideon's impressive driving prowess might just be the key to wooing Dusty back into the fold, especially now that Jesse's idiotic antics have sparked a personal vendetta with the Simkins.

The pieces of the puzzle are falling into place for this new season, and it's shaping up to be quite a ride. Now, all that's left is to see how Baby Billy Freeman, with his knack for misbehavin', will shake things up before the season's grand finale.
