SURREALESTATE – Season 2 Episode 6 – SPOILERS
Abby (Natalie Brown) stops by the office and leaves papers for her brother Phil (Adam Korson) to sign. It seems their mother, who died a while ago, intended to leave two acres of land to the church but that didn’t get done, and Phil must now okay the property transfer. Phil doesn’t want to give something of significant dollar value to a church that chose to model the tolerant ministry of Christ by “tossing him out the narthex”. Phil and his husband Anthony (Paul Ewan Wilson) talk about it, and it becomes clear that a big part of the problem is sibling rivalry. Phil believes Abby was his mother’s favourite kid.
Abigail tells her third-favourite younger brother “Philly” the story of her son Ethan‘s first gig as an altar boy. “The cassock was a little too long. Ethan tripped. Body of Christ all over the place. He was devastated. He was so worried that Jesus would be mad at him.” Phil says that he “knows that feeling“, and later tells his sister: “Jesus doesn’t mind when you spill his body, but if you spill his blood, mix three parts hydrogen peroxide to one part dish soap. It gets the stains right out.”
