Mayans M.C. showrunner Elgin James shared a few details about the brand new direction EZ's storyline is taking in an interview with Comic Book Resources. Elgin made a very tongue-in-cheek parallel between EZ's trials and tribulations and the temptation of Christ.

"Huckleberry Finn is in some ways, about Jesus's 40 days in the desert, and that's really EZ's journey this season. It's his 40 days in the desert, and he makes all the wrong choices. He makes the opposite choices that Jesus did," Elgin said. "That's why we started the relationship with he and Gaby having not consummated. They've barely even held hands yet. And when Jesus was starving in the desert, and he's given relief, or he's offered relief in bread and water, he says, 'No.' He refuses."

He continues, "EZ very much accepted that by a campfire in Season 4, Episode 6, and it went on and on, even getting on the knees to surrender and have all these kingdoms. And he does it, but he does it too late, saying, "I'll go with you. I'll go with you." And you know [it's] probably the end of the EZ that we've come to know for the last three seasons for a while."

New episodes of Mayans M.C. air Tuesdays at 10 p.m. EST on FX.
