Episode 198: D&C 94 – Section 124, Part 1
Joseph and his BFFs escape/bribe the guards to get out of jail and run off to a malaria-ridden swamp in Illinois. He heads to D.C. to take the saint’s grievances to Pres. Van Buren, saving the passengers of a runaway coach along the way. Van Buren doesn’t help them, so they start the trek back to Illinois.
John C. Bennett enters the timeline by becoming Joseph’s unofficial second in command. He’s a politician/lobbyest whose sway is critical in the creation of the city of Nauvoo. That Nauvoo charter grants Joseph some broad powers that will come in quite handy in the future (but we’re not there yet). It’s the episode where free will doesn’t exist!!!
