No Show Last Week: Ben's Family Easter Passion Play

Tim explains why there was no episode for Easter: Ben's family does an annual backyard recreation of the resurrection, and this year Ben had to play Jesus emerging from a shed after his sister, who played Jesus last year, fell asleep drunk and ran out firing a gun.
- Tim apologizes for missing last week's episode because Ben had to attend his family's Easter Passion Play.
- Ben's family recreates the resurrection of Christ in their yard every year, with a rotating cast member playing Jesus.
- Ben's mother thinks Tim is Jewish just because he has a mortgage.
- The family speaks in tongues during the ritual and Ben emerges from a shed in the backyard instead of a cave because they lack the money for a proper set.
- Last year Ben's sister was supposed to be Jesus but fell asleep drunk inside the shed and forgot she was in the Easter pageant.
- The drunk sister grabbed a gun and ran out of the shed firing wildly before they could stop her.
- Ben, now wearing paid-person leather boots, was enlisted this year to walk serenely out of the shed so the family could chant and eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches without incident.
