God is back and sassier than ever in this week’s episode! He starts off as we’ve come to expect, focusing excessively on the importance of nightlights and musical instruments. But once the Israelites start whining about how the food was better in Egypt (seriously?!), he lays down the punishment in a big way, sending them enough plague-riddled quail to choke a three-humped camel. He next turns his wrath on Miriam and Aaron for insulting Zipporah and slagging off his main man Moses, finally serving up a punishment that fits the crime. Plus we meet some hippie elders and get an explanation of why meteorology is suddenly a really important profession. (Numbers 8:1–12:16)
