Sunday. All over the city, people go to church -- people we don't know; Royce and his wife (with media); Gray and his wife (with media); Randy and Miss Anna (without media).

In one church, Carcetti and Jen do their best to clap along with the ass-kicking choir (and I hope Aidan Gillen was better at keeping the beat when he played a gay guy).

Gray is Catholic, so the church he and his wife show up at is quiet and boring.

Back at the church Carcetti is visiting -- I mean, I...assume he isn't normally in the congregation, since he's the only white person there -- the pastor delivers the sermon, interrupted at intervals with responding calls from the congregation; he starts by reminding the congregation that it's the Sunday before the primary, and says he wants them to remember Exodus 18, in which Moses judged the people, shouldering "the tremendous burden" alone. One day, his father-in-law told him to find "other wise men" to help him rule. Moses heeded this advice, and found some other dudes to help him rule. Watkins duly applauds, with the rest of the congregation. The pastor returns to his theme: this Tuesday, they should keep Moses' standards in mind: "Men of truth, who fear God and hate covetousness." Carcetti nods sagely, like he doesn't routinely shut himself in a room with a boobie poster and wring money out of working people.

In his church, Royce shakes a million hands.

Carcetti's temporary church is also Melvin's church, which instantly makes me like Carcetti more. As the parishioners file out, Carcetti and his family stop to shake hands with the minister. Carcetti compliments the "interesting sermon," and the minister says that the "polls seem to think [he has] a chance" to win. Carcetti confirms that he's now "within the margin of error," and the minister intones, "'Margin of error.' That's an interesting phrase." He turns around and comments that he sees Carcetti has Watkins "working the crowd"; indeed, Watkins is chatting with someone on the sidewalk, Gerry standing respectfully behind him. Carcetti grins that he hopes Watkins won't be the only one. The minister promises to keep an open mind until he goes to the voting booth on Tuesday: "And if you win?" "You're holding me to a high standard," says Carcetti. "Moses? I mean, Jesus, Reverend--" "Tommy!" squeals Jen, giggling fondly. Tommy quickly says he can't believe he said that, but the minister isn't offended, cackling loud and cracking, "Moses will do for now. We'll save Jesus for your second term." Check out Rev. Shtick! I will see you next Sunday, sir -- if I can sit with Melvin.
