This episode is about Father Mapple's sermon on the book / parable of Jonah. Here's the sermon (greatly abridged), delivered in proper scenery-chewing fashion by Orson Welles in John Huston's 1956 film: youtu.be/9DAQ8Az5Gpc

OR she's put it next to the original one so now she lives at number 6035, Beddingfield Close
Um, our house currently has a piece of paper sellotaped to the window next to the door with the number written on it in sharpie. Because the woman who lived here before us unscrewed the fucking number and took it with her. Which I find unbelievably petty.

Ideally she's changed it to be the same as her next door neighbour's

Book: The Space Merchants, by Frederick Pohl and Cyril Kornbluth
This is a very 'state of the world now' book, but the bit that really fucking nails it is towards the end when (I think) the main guy inverts Blackstone's Ratio and says "Better that 1000 innocents should suffer than 1 guilty person go unpunished"
