"Grant unto him eternal rest" sees Father Jack consume more floor polish than is good for him, he dies leaving Ted and Dougal half a million pounds. This episode see's a Nun visits the island to see The Holy Stone of Clonrichert- the islands only attraction. Father Jacks funeral is attained by many misfit Priests including the hilarious Father Faye. The fathers are disappointed when Father Jack comes back from the grave. Even tough this is a comedy we see some great character development- we see how greedy Ted is, Find out information about Father Jacks past and meet lots of new and funny priests. Great. This is also the last episode in season one, and a great way to end it.

- Father Ted: Right, well it looks bad alright. I called Dr. Sinnot, I gave him the symptoms over the phone and he said he's probably dead alright. The pulse not being there is bad enough but the heart stopping is the real danger sign. Edit
- Dougal: (Sits in Jack's chair and acts like him) Ooh gimme lots of drink, ooh you're a gobshite Ted ooh DRINK, FECK, AR.. (Ted walks in and Dougal jumps) Ted: Dougal, do you really think you should be getting up to that sort of rubbish right now? Edit
