With no wheels, and back to walkin’, their desperate straights produce a surprising result — The Making of a Father.
Desperate straits sometimes result in heroic feats … sometimes.
First, another death, the death of an old friend and trusted companion — the Purple Chariot. The Studebakes throws a rod and they’re back to walkin’. Too many people in their party to expect that anybody would ever pick them up hitch hikin’. So, things have never looked bleaker. In this episode they all battle the sun and its heat. They’re back to walkin’ an; that definitely ain’t workin’. They all hit the bottom of the barrel and even our stalwart leader, Josiah, gives up. He tries to talk to God, but this is muscle building time at its worst, so God is out to lunch. Josiah elicits the help of the angels, but they also seem to have their hands tied, and must reflect God’s orders. Guardian Angel Gabriel does what he can and Josiah takes on the mantle of manhood and rises to the occasion, but even that doesn’t last for long.
All seems lost when yet another miracle appears in the person of Slick Presley, Third Cousin to Elvis and his Trusty Mariah. This gets them through the night, but then Slick turns North and once again they are left at the side of the road. A mocking Slick leaves them with these prophetic words, “ Only 500 miles to go …” Slick goes North, the long road ahead goes west, they can’t go East because that’s back from whence they came, and the mystical town of Sedona Arizona is South as they all stand under the hot sun at the crossroads of their lives.
