The door opens. Cain kills Abel. And God asks the second great question of Genesis: “Where is your brother?” Cain’s deflection—”Am I my brother’s keeper?”—is meant to end the conversation. But the rest of the Bible answers it: yes, you are. This episode explores responsibility for others, the voice of blood crying from the ground, and the mark of Cain—not a curse, but protection. Even the murderer receives mercy. Judgment and grace, woven together.
