Ep 2. Sinbad: Son of A Preacher Man

Sinbad: Son of A Preacher Man is the second episode of the first season of the TV show Sinbad. It was first aired on July 14, 2012, and follows the story of the titular character as he tries to reconnect with his estranged father, a preacher who disowned him for his rebellious ways.

The episode begins with Sinbad and his crew aboard the Providence, a ship they stole in the previous episode. They are headed to Basra, a city where Sinbad's father lives, and where they hope to find a way to break the curse that Sinbad is under. Sinbad is reluctant to confront his father, but his friends convince him that it's the only way.

When they arrive in Basra, Sinbad and his friends split up to look for information. Sinbad goes to his childhood home, where he sneaks in and finds his father's old Bible. He starts to read through it, hoping to find some insight into his father's mindset. Meanwhile, his friend Rina, a thief, visits a seer who tells her that Sinbad's father has a rare object that could help them break the curse.

As Sinbad continues to read his father's Bible, he starts to have flashbacks to his childhood. He remembers how his father used to be kind and caring, but how he changed when Sinbad's mother died. He also remembers how he rebelled against his father's strict rules, and how that ultimately led to their falling out.

When Sinbad's father, Pastor Akbari, discovers Sinbad in his house, he is initially angry and tells him to leave. But eventually, he agrees to talk to him. They have an emotional conversation about their past and their current conflicts. Sinbad's father reveals that he disowned Sinbad because he was afraid that his rebellious behavior would lead him down a dangerous path. He also tells Sinbad that he has the rare object that Rina is looking for – a piece of the lost city of Atlantis that could be used to break the curse.

Sinbad and his friends hatch a plan to steal the piece of Atlantis from Akbari's church. They succeed and use it to break the curse, but not before Sinbad has one final confrontation with his father. Akbari tells Sinbad that he loves him and forgives him for his rebellious behavior. Sinbad is moved by his father's words and they part on good terms.

Overall, Sinbad: Son of A Preacher Man is a moving episode that explores themes of family, forgiveness, and redemption. It's a pivotal moment in Sinbad's journey, as he comes to terms with his past and confronts the issues that have been holding him back. The episode also introduces some interesting new characters and sets up the rest of the season's plotlines.
