The Righteous Gemstones has dropped its final hallelujah with season 4's spectacular finale, leaving viewers clutching their pearls and praise hands alike. Amidst the unholy hijinks and divine dysfunction, one character emerged as the crown jewel in this satirical tiara. Like a glitter bomb in a baptismal font, this scene-stealing sensation has captured the collective consciousness of fans everywhere, delivering laughs that echo like gospel choir notes and moments poignant enough to make Satan himself reach for tissues.

Enter Baby Billy Freeman, Walton Goggins' masterpiece of mullet-sporting magnificence. The former child gospel prodigy and Aimee-Leigh's troublesome brother has gone from recurring troublemaker to full-blown sensation. Dancing on the knife-edge between redemption and absolute tomfoolery, this old swindler with shark-like survival instincts has evolved into the show's most quotable character. His peculiar blend of backwoods charm and unapologetic narcissism creates a cocktail so intoxicating that viewers cannot help but order another round.

Season 4 witnesses Baby Billy's magnum opus, Teen-Jus, a budget-basement television venture where this silver-foxed septuagenarian portrays adolescent Christ with zero self-awareness but infinite conviction. The highlight? His "Turn the Other Cheek" performance, a gospel-rap fusion so gloriously unhinged, it has sparked viral memes faster than cookies disappear. Social media platforms practically baptized themselves in reaction videos as Walton Goggins committed so thoroughly to the bit that even Jesus might have slow-clapped.

While Baby Billy’s character made an impact, fans cannot stop buzzing about how his hilarious chaos is matched only by the unexpected depth, making him the show’s most beloved disaster.

The true miracle of Baby Billy lies not just in his comedic catastrophes but in the surprising tenderness lurking beneath that bleached-blonde bravado. Every outlandish scheme masks a wounded soul desperate for validation, creating an emotional undertow that pulls viewers into unexpected depths. His delusions of grandeur serve as paper-thin bandages over lifetime scars, making audiences simultaneously facepalm at his choices while secretly hoping this spiritual huckster finally finds his heaven-sent happy ending.

While some hailed the character as a pure legend, others begged for a spinoff, feeling it was much needed.

Walton Goggins himself has confessed that shedding Baby Billy's skin feels like abandoning a beloved alter ego, a testament to the character's perfectly calibrated complexity. While The White Lotus fans never miss a bit of drama, his The Righteous Gemstones followers are equally hooked on his character. Not only does he steal scenes, but he has essentially pickpocketed the whole show, walking away with millions of hearts. In the church of unforgettable characters, this elderly enfant terrible has earned nothing less than sainthood.
