Dwelling in Superman’s Booth (S3 E3)
In this final episode of the season, God brain-dumps the last of his laws while practicing his best flight-attendant voice and wearing his best pair of jeans. We hear that priests must marry virgins, can’t have any physical defects, and a bunch of other cringy, retrograde stuff that we’ve come to expect from this out-of-touch boomer. He also makes up some holidays centering on unleavened bread, trumpets, and self-loathing. At least we get to see an actual stoning after someone curses up a storm. God is also careful to point out all the cannibalism and anxiety disorders he will inflict on the Israelites if they don’t follow his many, many, many laws.

Secret Twilight Fan (S3 E2)
God’s call-in radio show pivots to cooking tips this episode, revealing his preferences for hooves, cud, fins, scales, and grasshoppers. Then God shows his germophobic side, laying down some rules about how to handle sores on your beard or when your bedsheets get icky – and the makeup department’s work on all of the diseased extras is not for the faint of heart! Aaron presides over a special ceremony that will remove all of the uncleanliness and sin from the community by gambling on a pair of goats. God also gives strict warnings against touching lizards, fortune-telling, and raving at a demon’s club.

Car Talk but for Sacrifices (S3 E1)
Season 3 opens with God at the mic of his new call-in radio show, where he solves all of your sin-related problems. Accidentally overheard an oath? Sacrifice an animal! Touched something unclean? Sacrifice an animal! Trespassed on your neighbor’s field? You guessed it — sacrifice an animal! The priests get to eat all of the burned-up leftovers from these sacrifices, which works out fine until two of Aaron’s sons make God angry with their off-brand offering and become burned-up leftovers themselves.
