A Brief Synopsis: Prior to his death on the crucifix, Jesus Christ was offered a drink of water, a kind act turned away by a Roman soldier. These events play a profound role in occurrences during modern times, which some construe as signs of Christ’s return and the apocalypse. While Abby Quinn believes the end is coming and that her unborn child may be in danger as a result, Father Lucci, a Vatican agent, is doubtful no matter what evidence she presents.

Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include:

• Karen tells us the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.
  
• We learn when the first ultrasound was done.
