Episode 1.6 - Grant Unto Him Eternal Rest

Father Jack consumes more floor polish than is good for him and leaves Ted and Dougal half a million pounds in his will. But will he stay dead long enough for them to claim it?

In-Depth Episode Synopsis

Sister Mulligan's visit to Craggy Island ends in dramatic style after Father Jack drinks a bottle of floor polish. And dies.

With Jack's friends flocking to the island for the wake, Ted and Dougal find their grief tempered by the knowledge that he's left them half a million pounds! There is, however, a catch: to get their hands on the cash they must first spend the night in a vigil over Jack's body.

A period of quiet reflection quickly descends into utter boredom, and then a game of charades. This ends abruptly when Jack rises from the dead to scare the bejaysus out of them. (It seems the floor polish brought about all the symptoms of death, but not actually death itself.)

The money's gone but at least Jack's back. Which is a silver lining. Of sorts...
