BJ and the AC is a programme presented in an episodic format. It falls under the broader genre of an episode, offering a self‑contained story within the series framework. In this particular instalment, the focal point is the theft of the infant Jesus figurine from the town’s nativity display. The Guilty Remnant, a cult known for its disruptive presence, is responsible for the robbery, effectively marking the holiday season with its own signature. The cult’s move strikes directly at the centre of the community’s Christmas celebrations, targeting a symbol that holds deep emotional and cultural significance for the townsfolk. By removing the figurine, the Guilty Remnant not only commits a crime but also challenges the collective spirit that the nativity scene embodies. The episode therefore centres on how this act reverberates through the town, casting a shadow over the festive period and highlighting the unsettling influence the cult can wield when it chooses to intervene at the heart of communal traditions.
