A Story of Spiritual Growth and Archival Footage

A Story of Spiritual Growth and Archival Footage is the twenty-second episode of The Randomness Show, and the first episode of the third season. A soft reboot of the series, the episode was released nearly three years after its predecessor. To transition from the old cast and story to the new ones, the episode is mainly comprised of archival footage, featuring Jack Hillebrecht, John Manfredonia, and Shrey and Ayush Pasricha, along with a cameo from newcomer Tim Amalfitano.

Plot
In April 2016, Shrey claps as John spins around with a NERF gun. Jack enters the room and tells his friends that he's embarking on a spiritual journey to rediscover his place in the world. After Jack leaves, the doorbell rings, and Shrey asks the lazy unnamed protagonist to open it.

The protagonist returns with Arthur Beansman, the main villain of the cancelled film Rise of the Dead 3: Endgame. Beansman expresses his sorrow over being dropped from the film's script, as the story was being rewritten. Beansman asks if he can reside with John, Shrey and the unnamed protagonist. Shrey feels uncomfortable with the prospect of living with Beansman - as does John, who runs out of the house.

Three years later, John returns to the house, searching for Jack. As he approaches the front door, he finds someone someone lurking in the bushes.
