Season Five, Episode 1 Entry October 1, 6;30 – 8:00 pm The Chosen season 5 begins with Jesus and the disciples having a conversation about Jesus’ final days on earth (The Last Supper). After a brief conversation, the episode then jumps four days prior and shows people preparing for Palm Sunday and Jesus coming on a donkey. There is a quite a bit of behind the crowd’s conversations between Pharisees and leaders regarding the threat of Jesus and his followers. Near the end of the episode, Jesus begins to feel the weight of what is to come and begins to grieve this (with most likely much more to come). Recap, Review, and Analysis
Season 5 Episode 2: House of Cards October 8, 6;30 – 8:00 pm Episode 2 picks up the continuation of the last supper, which will likely be a recurring theme of each episode. This session discusses the confusion of the apostles on why Jesus has to leave. Then again, we jump back in time to fill out some more back story of Kafni, Ramah, and Thomas. Later in the episode, Thomas is confronted by Kafni which causes him to break down in grief. Much of the episode goes between the tax collectors, Caiaphas, and the apostles. The climax of the episode is Jesus turning over the temple in anger and ends with Judas silently saying, “What have you done?” Recap, Review, and Analysis
Season Five, Episode 3 Woes October 15, 6;30 – 8:00 pm During the last supper scene, Jesus attempts to comfort the disciples by telling them about the Holy Spirit. There is some conversation back and forth, then cuts to the aftermath of the prior episode. The fallout of Jesus clearing the temple is at full swing, causing lots of discussion with every character processing Jesus’ actions. Most of this episode deal with this fallout and the disciples beginning to come to terms with the impending loss of Jesus. Recap, Review, and Analysis
Season Five, Episode 4 The Same Coin October 22, 6;30 – 8:00 pm Episode 4 begins with the Passover Seder, where they tell the story of Moses through Dayenu (…It would have been enough) and then turns to Jesus’ nearing betrayal and death. Jesus begins to have a lot of more specific conversations with the disciples, both as a group and individuals. The opposition of Jesus gets closer and closer to pushing the “arrest Jesus” button, but that mainly is just simmering here. The episode ends with Jesus and several of the women of his ministry doing their own Dayenu in perhaps one of the most emotional poignant moments of this season so far. Recap, Review, and Analysis
Season Five, Episode 5 Because of Me October 29, 6;30 – 8:00 pm The disciples begin to bicker about who is going to betray Jesus, much to Jesus’ frustration. On both the Pharisee’s and Disciple’s sides, the intensity of discussion regarding the arrest of Jesus greatly intensify. Near the end of the episode, Mary is taken by a rabbi to reunite with Nicodemus while Judas goes to the house of Caiaphas. This was very much a building episode that very much was carried by the atmosphere of the impending arrest. Recap, Review, and Analysis
Season Five, Episode 6 Reunions November 5, 6;30 – 8:00 pm During the Last Supper scene in the beginning, we pass the bread and the cup as well as continue the discussion of betrayal. This episode cranks up the conversations between some big players, namely Nicodemus, Caiaphas, and Pilate. Also, a large subplot revolves around the mental anguish of Kafni as he is struggling to deal with his daughter’s death. The episode ends with Yussif and Nicodemus talking about their struggles to determine what fate awaits Jesus and the disciples. Recap, Review, and Analysis
Season Five, Episode 7 The Upper Room – Part One November 12, 6;30 – 8:00 pm This penultimate episode opens up with the washing of the disciples’ feet. We then follow Big James interrupting a sermon from Peter to point out that they are being followed (by people they don’t want following them). We then see some flashbacks of the disciples showing various moments from their past that show their experiences and in some cases, their growth. We end this episode with most of the disciples in the upper room and seeing Roman soldiers near their dwelling. Recap, Review, and Analysis
