Buddy Dobbs (Michael Rosenbaum), a lowlife on the run from his gambling debts, gets a second chance at life when he cons a small town Lutheran community into believing he's their new gay pastor.

The church is in an uproar when two dead bodies are discovered in town and a piece of incriminating evidence leads directly to the new pastor. Meanwhile, Buddy goes back home to attend his own funeral.

Buddy's first Sunday service is so unorthodox, a livid Schmidt calls in the bishop to assess the new pastor's competence. Dora makes an unusual request for Buddy, while Alexa and Russell vie for his affection.

To pay off another gambling loss, Buddy steals a ruby necklace from a woman in a coffin. Dora and Alexa have a falling out over a church fashion show and Schmidt becomes smitten with a mystery woman.

When Buddy tries to help Alexa escape her dark past, he puts both of their lives in danger. Dora has a meltdown when she learns her ex-fiance is getting married.

Buddy surprises Russell's parents with a revelation about Russell, then gets a huge surprise of his own. Alexa instructs Dora in the art of self-pleasuring.
