The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 finale: The mystery of the gold Bible is finally solved

While The Righteous Gemstones hinted that the real antagonist was Cobb, he was murdered by his own son, Corey, in the penultimate episode. The finale saw the fallout of this death, as he starts to lose his mental stability after murdering his father. He agrees to have helped his father in kidnapping Lori's ex-boyfriends and all the assaults and murders.

The Gemstones take him to their lake house to cheer him up, but instead, he flips and demands $7 million from them. He claims that since he killed his father to save Dr. Gemstone, he needs the money to buy his father's old gator farm.

Just when the Gemstone siblings are trying to calm him down, Kelvin is guided by the spirit of Aimee-Leigh to Corey's room, where he finds a shotgun and Elijah's stolen gold Bible in his luggage.

After Kelvin reveals this information to his siblings, chaos follows, and Corey starts to fire at the Gemstones with his shotgun. He manages to shoot (not fatally) everyone until finally Dr. Watson retrieves Jesse's gun. He finally takes a fatal shot at Corey, putting an end to his massacre.

In Corey's final moments, he asks the Gemstone siblings to pray for him one last time, and the siblings comply. Mimicking Elijah Gemstone's redemption arc, the siblings pray over a dying Corey and forgive him for his past crimes. The Righteous Gemstones finale brings the themes of forgiveness and redemption to a full circle with the siblings praying for Corey.

However, since the show consumed most of his life, he decided to close the production and finally spend time with his wife, Tiffany, and their kids.

After a whole season of will-they-won't-they, Kelvin finally expresses his feelings to Keefe. After the couple kissed in the Season 3 finale, things were heating up for them. Kelvin finally reveals that he is no longer afraid of marriage, and the couple is wed, giving the show a proper rock and divine farewell with their marriage ceremony.

Eli and Lori's relationship has seen many ups and downs, thanks to the Gemstone siblings not accepting their relationship. However, in the season finale, the siblings finally apologize for sabotaging their relationship throughout the season.

Just as Eli is getting ready to leave for a fishing trip, Lori asks to join him. The Gemstone patriarch welcomes her aboard, hinting at a romantic future for the couple.
