HBO’s “The Righteous Gemstones” takes a detour into the past this Sunday, offering viewers a flashback to the year 2002. In “Interlude IV,” we get a glimpse into the life of Aimee-Leigh Gemstone, wife of the late Eli and mother to the dysfunctional Gemstone siblings. This time, the spotlight shines on Aimee-Leigh as Lori Gemstone, in the midst of a troubled marriage, seeks her counsel. The backdrop? A recording session for what appears to be a gospel album.
The episode follows Aimee-Leigh and Lori as they work through the difficulties of the recording process, offering a window into their relationship dynamics. What advice does Aimee-Leigh offer Lori? And how might that guidance shape the future we know for the Gemstone family? “The Righteous Gemstones,” with its penchant for exploring the complicated intersection of faith, family, and greed, uses these interludes to flesh out the history of this world-famous televangelist dynasty.
“Interlude IV” airs Sunday, April 13th at 10:00 PM on HBO.
