* "John the Baptist": The titular prophet offers to share his meal of locusts and wild honey with the kids. They're naturally apprehensive at first, due to [[ForeignQueasine the locusts]], but after seeing John and his two followers casually snacking away, Chris and Joy decide to join in...and Gizmo, who's been visibly struggling not to hurl, gets a [[{{Squick}} "X_X"]] expression and drops down in a dead faint.

** A little later, the group reaches Hebron, where Eliezer sets about seeking Isaac's future wife as per his mission.

Every attempt he makes fails miserably, culminating in a group of very angry women dousing him with their water jars when it's made clear that Rebekah is the chosen bride.

* "Isaac and Rebekah": The kids and Gizmo join Abraham's servant Eliezer to find a wife for Isaac. While packing for the journey, Chris is loading stuff onto a camel's back, but he rather inexpertly ties the ropes securing the baggage despite his assurances that he knows what he's doing. Well, seconds later everything falls right off...and [[DeadpanSnarker Joy]], witnessing it all, gets off a good moment of ribbing Chris for it.
--> '''Joy:''' Nice tie-job, Chris. What'd you use, a ''slip''-knot?

--> '''Gizmo:''' Okay, group picture! Short guys in front! ''(blinds the guards again)''

* "Jesus--Friend of Sinners": Joy, trying to return a set of bags that's fallen off a man's cart, gets held by Roman soldiers who assume the items are hers and thus inform her that she'll have to pay a tax for them. She's hauled before Matthew (still a tax collector and not yet a disciple of Jesus, though Joy remembers him as the latter), who insists she pay the tax despite her efforts to explain that the bags aren't hers. Finally, in frustration, Joy sits down under the shade of a nearby tree, going into full DeadpanSnarker mode when Matthew tries to talk to her again...only for Matthew, who's no doubt used to insults due to his profession, [[SnarkToSnarkCombat zinging back in kind]].
--> '''Joy:''' Do whatever! I have no money and those ''aren't'' my bags! Ugh!
--> '''Matthew:''' ...are you just going to sit there?
--> '''Joy:''' Why? Are you going to tax me for using your shade?
--> '''Matthew:''' ''(chuckles)'' No. But it ''is'' three shekels for sitting on my rock.
--> ''(Joy jumps up in fright)''

The horse is spooked enough to run away, taking the trio several miles along for the ride and leaving his owner behind.
--> '''Merchant:''' ''(seeing the horse galloping away)'' Now that's more like it. ''(beat)'' Hey. HEY! Come back! Thieves!
