Recently, Jeff, I mentioned I have a Favorite Episode (S2E1); you didn't have one. Now, I have an official Favorite Character (well, two): Magdalene and Matthew, two underdogs. My wife's is Simon Peter, which certainly validates the choice of him as the face of the show. Yours?
My favorite character is also Matthew.
I really liked the Cana wedding episode, but I’m not sure I like it more than S1E1 with Mary Magdalene. They both barely edge out the miraculous catch of fish.
In the second season, I liked the calling of Nathanel, the healing at Bethsaida and of the paralytic, but none of them seemed as complete as the other episodes.
So I don’t have a firm favorite. My least favorite was the last one S2E5. It didn’t have a complete story arc like the other episodes. I don’t mind unexplained mysteries, but I want satisfactory closure to each episode. That one didn’t have it.
