In the Know S1E2 Whose House Recap

Firstly, we witness the plight of a leper. This stranger enters a pawn shop, claiming to sell top-notch tools from Tyre and Sidon. When the shopkeeper tries to swindle him, the man stands his ground. However, as he raises his arms, his sleeves slip down, revealing a horrifying sight of rotting flesh. The shopkeeper recoils in horror, declaring him a leper, and the man is promptly shunned and pushed away. It’s a heart-wrenching scene that sets the stage for the unfolding narrative.

Next, we find Matthew and Gaius tasked with guarding a box of cash, the proceeds from a miraculous catch of fish by Simon, Andrew, James, and John at the Sea of Galilee. The weight of the catch nearly sank their boats, forcing them to jump ship. The treasure they’re safeguarding amounts to two years and seven weeks’ worth of taxes, along with fines. Feeling vulnerable as they await the arrival of Roman soldiers, Gaius nervously remarks, “We’re sitting ducks here,” to which Matthew responds with his characteristic deadpan humor, “I look exactly how I feel.”

Lastly, the episode begins with a whimsical moment as a fish song plays in the background: “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, what do we do, we swim…” It provides a brief respite from the weightier themes unfolding with the characters, offering a light-hearted interlude amidst the drama.
