Season finale! Jacob comes down with an acute case of “I’m gonna die soon” and gathers his sons for one last chance to complain about that time Reuben had sex with Jacob’s concubine. Jacob also attempts to bless Joseph’s sons but Joseph comes out of left field with an obsession about using the “right” hand. Asher appears destined to run a world class bakery, and Simeon and Levi reminisce about peaking in high school. After Jacob is mummified, wrestling legend The Undertaker literally crashes the funeral and God once again makes the eulogy all about him. Egypt closes for 70 days while all the civil servants bring Jacob’s body to the family mausoleum in Canaan, and the resulting backup in paperwork nearly destroys the economy. Joseph’s brothers fear that without Daddy around, Joseph will go back to his vengeful ways. But Joseph forgives and forgets before he too dies, is mummified, and presumably prepares for a Season 2 return as a zombie. (Genesis 47:28-50:26)
