The New Pope: Eighth Episode

March 7, 2020 8:39 AM - Season 1, Episode 8

Vacation, job changes, and a funeral. And butts.

Lenny returns to Rome
Creepy Clams Guy and Funky Funky Eyepatch Guy are a crime-fighting duo?
Lenny killed Don Tomasso/Francis II with his pinky, while unconscious?
Assente doubles the archbishop population of Kabul
We say farewell to Girolamo
Butts butts butts

This was the best show of the season, I think. Maybe because things actually happened.

Voiello's funeral for his friend is worth the whole two seasons.

I loved this episode. And yeah, that funeral, that was beautiful. It's moments like that that make me miss Catholicism. If only it were like that all the time.
