Warning: Contains SPOILERS for The Righteous Gemstones seaason 4, episode 5!
The Righteous Gemstones season 4, episode 5 is finally here, and here is the ending of the episode explained, including who threw the brick at Eli Gemstone. The Righteous Gemstones season 4, episode 5 was a pivotal episode in the show’s final season, with it raising the stakes in Eli and Lori’s relationship. Although there were already interpersonal conflicts between the Gemstones, things turned violent at the end of The Righteous Gemstones season 4, episode 5, with the episode’s cliffhanger ending leaving viewers excited for the next installment.
The Righteous Gemstones season 4, episode 5 finally brings back the conflict between Jesse Gemstone and Vance Simkins, which was last seen in the cliffhanger ending of episode 3. Jesse previously sent his friends to burn down Vance Simkins’ new church, with him then leaving to go on a family river vacation with the Gemstones, Freemans, and Milsaps in episode 4. Now, Jesse is feuding with Vance, Judy has bought BJ a monkey, Kelvin is competing for the Top Christ Following Man of the Year award, Baby Billy is working on a new TV show, and Eli is leaving the Gemstones.
Who Threw The Brick Through Lori’s Window & Why?
Was It One Of Her Exes?
At the end of The Righteous Gemstones season 4, episode 5, Eli decides to take a break from Jesse, Judy, and Kelvin, with him leaving the Gemstone compound. He decides to stay with Lori and the Milsaps for some time, with him arriving at their home. Later, a brick is thrown through the window of Lori’s home, with it clearly acting as a threat. Eli and Lori then walk outside to see that Eli’s car has been on fire. Lori tells Eli that she needs to tell him about her past, setting up an intriguing mystery that will be answered in future episodes of The Righteous Gemstones.
Based on what we know about Lori’s past, it seems likely that the person who threw the brick is one of her exes. Episode 5 goes into detail about Lori’s dating history, with it being implied that she murdered her previous boyfriends. Thus, it would make sense for people to be after her. This means that Eli and Lori’s assailant could be one of Lori’s exes or someone related to one of her exes.

However, there is another possibility. Vance Simkins is clearly seeking revenge on the Gemstones after Jesse had Vance’s new church burned down. While Vance is primarily feuding with Jesse, he could decide to go after Eli since Eli is still the face most associated with Gemstone Ministries.

Having the Simkins go after Eli would tie the two main storylines from The Righteous Gemstones season 4 together, with it being possible that the Simkins will use Eli’s new relationship to hurt Gemstone Ministries.
