22 May 16 Pilot
A “comet” soars through the solar system and hurtles toward Earth.In Nairobi, the “comet” strikes a preacher down as he delivers a sermon to his congregation. The preacher arises and proclaims himself “the prophet,” but then he suddenly explodes. Blood splatters all over the congregants, who flee the church as the “comet” zooms away.In Annville, Texas, the local preacher Jesse Custer lies in bed hungover. In a brief flashback, a young Jesse sees his preacher father forced to his knees. Back in the present, Jesse gets dressed and leaves for church.Jesse walks to All Saints Congregational and fixes the letters of the church sign that someone had previously rearranged to read, “Open your ass and holes to Jesus.”Jesse delivers an uninspired sermon to a bored and distracted congregation. Emily Woodrow, Jesse’s assistant, mercifully concludes the service with organ music before Jesse’s able to finish his final words.At the Sunday barbecue outside the church, a young boy named Chris tells Jesse that his father, Donnie, abuses his mother. He asks Jesse to hurt his father. “People say before you came back here, before you were a preacher, you did things,” Chris says. Jesse warns Chris that violence just leads to more violence.At Annville City Hall, Mayor Miles Person tries to suppress a riot over the politically correct replacement of the town mascot, Chief Red Savage. Nearby, Sheriff Hugo Root asks Jesse to check in on his son Eugene. Jesse tells Sheriff Root that Donnie is beating his wife, Betsy, but Sheriff Root refuses to investigate unless Betsy files a formal complaint.In a corporate jet, a group of hedge funders drink and snort cocaine with an Irishman named Cassidy, who tells tales of his last trip to Tiajuana. While in the bathroom, Cassidy finds a bible covered with scribbled phrases. He smiles knowingly.
Back in the main cabin, Cassidy notes that the plane is not flying toward Tijuana. He then single-handedly fights and kills the “hedge funders” and pilots, who all turn out to be assassins. One of the pilot dumps holy water on Cassidy, who reveals his true nature as a vampire by drinking the pilot’s blood and jumping out of the soon-to-crash plane with a to-go bottle of blood and umbrella in hand.

At a diner, a church attendee by the name of Ted gripes about his mother to Jesse. Emily, who works at the diner when not acting as Jesse’s assistant, eats with Jesse and her two kids. She suggests Jesse check on her co-worker, Walter, who called in sick. She’s worrying out loud about the church finances and the threat of competition from a nearby megachurch when Miles awkwardly interrupts to flirt with Emily. She sends him away, but not quick enough, as Jesse suggests Emily, now a widow, get back on the dating market. With secret longing, Emily tells Jesse she is available.

Back in Nairobi, a jeep pulls up to the church. Two mysterious men step out of the jeep and enter the church.

Jesse stops by Walter’s house and finds Walter passed out drunk. He hears a woman singing in the shower and immediately leaves.

In Kansas, not too long ago, a woman named Tulip O’Hare races down the road in her Chevelle while fighting a gangster. Their fight continues in the back seat as the car snakes its way through a corn field. After biting the gangster’s ear off, Tulip careens to a stop, kills the gangster and grabs a map from his jacket. A young boy and girl watch from their yard. Tulip receives a text alerting her that more people are coming for her.

Under the illusion of arts and crafts, Tulip enlists the boy and girl to help make a bazooka out of metal cans and G.I. Joe action figures.

Tulip hides the kids in a cellar. They hear mayhem and destruction above ground, then silence. They emerge to find a Blackhawk crashed in their yard, G.I. Joe’s impaled in the dead pilot’s head.

In the same flashback from earlier, a young Jesse sees his father brought to his knees and shot in the head. Back to present day, Jesse sits in his truck outside Quincannon Meat & Power.

Cassidy, whose guts lie around him in a crater in a nearby cornfield, lures a cow in and devours it.

At Quincannon, Jesse visits Betsy and asks if Donnie hurts her. She admits that he beats her, but when Jesse asks her to report Donnie, she insists that she enjoys the abuse as part of their kinky sex life.

Meanwhile in Russia, police investigate a church that has been struck by the “comet.” A witness tells police that the Magister exploded in the middle of mass. The two mysterious men who were investigating in Africa enter the church and shut the doors.

Jesse meets Tulip in her Chevelle. She thanks him for checking in on her uncle Walter, then starts to fill him in on a big job for which she already procured a map. Jesse firmly reminds her that he no longer takes on jobs. Tulip asks Jesse why he’s returned to Annville. He doesn’t have much of an answer. “We are who we are,” she yells as Jesse walks off.

Jesse stops by the Root house. Sheriff Root hands Jesse a meat smoothie to bring to Eugene.

Eugene, whose face is grotesquely disfigured, greets Jesse enthusiastically in his room. He worries that God doesn’t want him at church because of what he did and wonders if some deeds are too evil to be forgiven. Jesse assures Eugene that God forgives him.

Afterward, Jesse drinks at a local bar, where a TV news report announces that Tom Cruise exploded while presiding over a Scientology service. Cassidy joins Jesse at the bar and asks what town he’s in. He heads to the back. Donnie strides into the bar with his friends and punches Jesse for talking to Betsy.

Cassidy speaks to his boss on a pay phone and wonders how the assassins keep finding him. His boss instructs him to lay low.

Donnie threatens to beat Chris for snitching to Jesse. When Donnie ignores Jesse’s order to leave Chris alone, Jesse swiftly takes down Donnie and his friends. Cassidy watches from the back of the room. Sheriff Root tells Jesse to stop. Jesse assures him, “almost done Sheriff,” and concludes the beating by breaking Donnie’s arm.

Jesse sits in a jail cell with Cassidy, who Sheriff Root believed to be Jesse’s accomplice. Jesse bemoans coming back to Annville but says he had to honor a promise. Cassidy denounces promises, faith and hope. Jesse’s released on bail and the two men shake hands before parting ways.

Emily picks up Jesse from jail and drives him to the church, where Jesse informs her that he’s quitting and will make an announcement on Sunday. “You were never really here in the first place so what difference should your leaving make?” she snaps. After he’s gone, she explodes, breaking her children’s iPad in a devastated, heartbroken rage.

Ted calls Jesse to complain about his mother just as Jesse sees a light emanating from the church. He tells Ted he’ll call him back.

Inside the church, Jesse turns on the light switch to find it’s broken. He sits on a pew, where he decides to ask for God’s help one last time. Jesse kneels and says, “God, please forgive me.” Getting no response, he lights up a cigarette. The doors creak open. The pews move. A supernatural shadow — which eventually reveals itself to be the “comet” approaches Jesse then slams him to the ground.

In a now familiar flashback, Jesse’s father is forced to his knees. He tells a young Jesse, “You’ve got to be one of the good guys. Because why?”

“Because there’s way too many of the bad,” young Jesse says.

“You promise me?” his father urges.

“I promise, daddy,” Jesse says before his father is shot in the head.

Jesse wakes up three days later on Sunday morning. Emily sits by the bed and informs him that Cassidy found Jesse passed out at the church and has since moved into the attic.

As Jesse walks to church, Ted harangues him about his mother again. Jesse tells Ted in a stern, otherworldly voice, “Be brave, tell her the truth, open your heart.” Ted rushes off, repeating Jesse’s words like a mantra.

Tulip enters All Saints, where Cassidy, too, is attending Jesse’s sermon. Jesse, who initially set out to quit, instead tells his congregation that he’s let them down but he’s going to make things right. “You deserve a good preacher and that’s what you’re going to get,” he says. “As of right now I’m going to fight, I’m going to do what all good preachers have done since the serpent and man’s fall. Pray for the sinner. Offer peace to the restless. Avenge the innocent.”

As Jesse’s sermon continues in the background, we watch on as bullies steal Eugene’s backpack, Tulip paints her nails over her stolen map and Cassidy lights his arm on fire by exposing it to the sun.

Meanwhile, Ted flies to Florida and drives to his mother’s retirement home, all the while repeating the mantra. He finds his mother at the home and asks her to treat him with kindness. “What are you talking about?” she asks. He unbuttons his shirt and takes out a knife. “Now I have to open my heart to you,” he says. He cuts his chest open, removes his heart and falls dead on the table as his mother screams.

One of the mystery men from Russia and Africa eats a tea bag while waiting in his car. “It’s here,” his partner informs him. They cross the street and stand at the foot of the driveway to All Saints Congregational.

Jesse’s assistant Emily watches them closely and later asks Jesse about Tulip.Inside the church, Miles, the mayor, tries to help Emily as she struggles with the new cappuccino maker. She brushes him off. Cassidy asks Emily for an advance payment for his work, but she points out he hasn’t completed any jobs for the church yet.Emily tells Jesse that Cassidy drank a cask of communion wine and asks him to have a word with Cassidy. She also advises Jesse to visit the Loach family. Jesse comments on the good turnout for the morning’s service.In the next room, Cassidy gasps at Eugene’s grotesque face. Jesse tells Cassidy that Eugene tried to kill himself with a shotgun, then asks Cassidy to stay out of trouble.Outside, Sheriff Root and Eugene pass a group of parishioners. “Murderer,” a man snickers. Eugene urges a defensive Sheriff Root to let it slide.
In the chapel, Linus, one of the congregants, confesses to Jesse that he’s attracted to a young girl on the school bus that he drives. Jesse sternly warns Linus against acting on his urges.

After everyone’s gone, Jesse sits out on the porch steps, in the dark, smoking a cigarette. “Quiet!” he hollers at a barking dog. The barking stops immediately.

A convoy of Quincannon vehicles head down a road. Odin Quincannon sits across from a husband and wife in their living room, flanked by a team of Quincannon employees. He issues a spiel about purchasing their land. Donnie pulls out a contract but drops his pen. Clive, a co-worker, picks it up and hands it to Quincannon. Donnie glares at Clive. The husband signs the contract. The Quincannon team promptly demolishes the couple’s home.

In a Quincannon van, Donnie violently shoves Clive’s face into the steering wheel until his nose breaks.

Jesse and Emily stand outside a grocery store and solicit suggestions for the church. Jesse looks upset after he sees Linus’s school bus drive by.

Jesse gets in his truck only to find the steering wheel missing. Tulip pulls up, mocks Jesse’s dull life, then drives off. He sees the steering wheel hanging from a street light.

Jesse drives to church and finds Cassidy waiting on the front steps.

Jesse and Cassidy drink inside the church, sitting in two pews they’ve turned to face each other. Jesse deflects Cassidy’s attempts to get to know him, asking why they’re always talking about him and not Cassidy. Cassidy tells Jesse that he’s a 119-year-old vampire from Dublin City on the run from religious vampire-hunting vigilantes. Jesse laughs believing Cassidy to be joking. Cassidy pulls out a flask and despite his attempts to keep it from Jesse because it’s too potent, Jesse snatches it. Jesse takes a swig and drops to the floor of the church. Cassidy thinks for a second before stealing the keys to his truck.

At the Sundowner Motel, a maid offers towels to the one of the mystery men. She runs off when she sees he has a gun. The men leave the motel with a large trunk.

Cassidy zooms down the highway in Jesse’s truck.

As Jesse lies unconscious on the church floor, a mysterious blob pulsates somewhere inside of him. Meanwhile, the mystery men arrive at the church and find Jesse. They open the trunk and crank music from a contraption while one of the mystery men sings “Wynken, Blynken and Nod.” When Jesse doesn’t respond, the man playing the music contraption grabs a chainsaw and heads toward Jesse. Cassidy returns with a fresh bottle of liquor. He thinks the men are after him, not Jesse and threatens them. One of the men shoots Cassidy in the stomach. Cassidy bites the man who shot him and bludgeons him to death with a hymnal. Then, he wrestles the other man with the chainsaw before cutting off the man’s arm, killing him as well.

At Toadvine Whorehouse, Tulip beats a group of Quincannon employees at poker. Clive storms out. Tulip receives a phone call from someone named Dany and tells her that she’ll see her soon.

At the church, Cassidy cleans up the bloody aftermath and cuts up the men with the chainsaw. He puts their body parts in a trunk and starts to drag it outside only to find that it’s daylight. He stays inside, hidden from the sun.

Emily finds Jesse sleeping on the church floor and reminds him of his appointment with the Loaches.

Jesse visits the Loach residence, where Mrs. Loach nurses her comatose daughter, Tracy. Jesse tries to comfort Mrs. Loach, but she says words cannot heal Tracy.

Outside, Jesse again sees Linus’s school bus drive by.

That night, Jesse drives down a back road and spots a car seat in the middle of the road. When he stops to investigate, someone attacks him with a Taser.

Jesse wakes to find himself chained up at Toadvine Whorehouse. Tulip, his captor, tells him that she’s going to Houston to give the stolen map to Dany in exchange for some valuable information. She refuses to do the job without him and predicts that he will revert to his old ways. Jesse insists he’s not interested and Tulip lets him go, revealing his chain was never actually secured in the first place.

Eugene visits Jesse at church and tells him that he still feels bad, even after the baptism. He says he stays the same no matter how hard he tries to change. The words stir something in Jesse.

Jesse goes to Linus’s house and punches Linus. He fills a tub with scalding water and dunks Linus’s head in the water, ordering him to repent for lusting after the young girl. “Forget her,” he bellows. Jesse falls back, hit by his own words. Linus asks what happened. “I told you to forget her,” says Jesse. “Forget who?” asks Linus.

Cassidy buries the trunk of body parts on a hilltop that features the same tree seen outside of Ratwater in the flashback. The next day, however, the mystery men are back in their motel room, being interrogated by Sheriff Root. “We’re from the government,” one of the men explains.

Jesse visits the Loach residence and tells Tracy that he’s going to try something new. “Open your eyes,” he whispers into her ear.
12 Jun 16 The Possibilities
Tulip meets a woman named Dany in Houston and hands over the stolen map. In return, Dany gives her a slip of paper with an address. In a flashback, a car zooms past Tulip in an alleyway as an alarm blares nearby. “Wait!” she screams after the car. Back in the present, Tulip tells Dany that was the day she lost everything — including her relationship with Jesse.Afterwards, Dany sits behind a mysterious Man in White in a pop-up movie theater and hands him the map. He dismisses her. The Man in White leaves the theater.At the Sundowner Motel, Sheriff Root interrogates Fiore and DeBlanc, the two men who have been stalking Jesse. They explain that “something” got loose and ended up in Annville, and that people will die if they don’t find it. When Sheriff Root asks if they’re talking about an escaped prisoner, they say yes. Sheriff Root bemoans the state of humanity.After Sheriff Root leaves, Fiore suggests they try using the can again on Jesse. “This time, no surprises,” he says, revealing an assortment of guns.At the Loach residence, Mrs. Loach tells Emily that Tracy’s eyes opened after Jesse prayed with her.In another part of town, Donnie walks his son, Chris, to the bus stop and tells Chris not to worry about noises coming from his parents’ bedroom. Donnie adds that adults’ relationships can be “complicated.” Chris apologizes for ratting out Donnie to Jesse and says he attacked a boy who mocked Donnie for getting beat up by Jesse.Linus picks up a line of kids up in his school bus. He smiles at the young girl he once desired and asks her name — his memory of the girl having been wiped out by Jesse. The kids on the bus erupt in squeals when they see Donnie, mimicking the sound Donnie made when Jesse beat him up. Donnie hollers at them.
At church, Cassidy answers a knock at the front door and finds a coffin with the body of Ted, the man who badgered Jesse for help handling his mother before ultimately flying to her nursing home and cutting his heart out in front of her. Emily tells Cassidy to handle the body.

Cassidy grabs the van keys and sees Jesse sitting in the common room. “I want to show you something,” Jesse says.

Out on an open road, a cop pulls Tulip over for speeding and asks her to step out of the car. The officer catches sight of a ring Tulip’s slipped onto her finger, prompting him to ask where she served. He lightens up as she lies about her time in the military. Tulip explains she was speeding because she’s desperate to help a friend who’s been making bad life decisions. The cop lets her go.

Jesse tries out his new power on Cassidy and barks out a list of commands, ending with “fly,” sending Cassidy straight into a wall. Cassidy’s excited about Jesse’s new power.

At Quincannon Meat & Power, Ms. Oatlash, the receptionist, leaves an envelope on Odin Quincannon’s desk.

At church, Cassidy brainstorms explanations for Jesse’s superpower and asks what it feels like. Jesse describes it as “all of God’s creation inside of me.”

At the motel, Fiore watches a TV news report about Tom Cruise’s death. He and DeBlanc are outfitted in helmets and bulletproof vests, ready to go deal with Jesse.

In Quincannon’s office, Donnie reads a letter from the owner of a company called Green Acre, which proposes a joint business venture with Quincannon. Donnie offers to beat up the owner. Quincannon doesn’t reply but tells Donnie to clear his lunch tray. Donnie struggles to pick up the tray with his one good arm. “A right-hand man with no right hand,” Quincannon says.

Cassidy cremates Ted’s body at a crematorium. As he returns to the van with Ted’s ashes, he sees Fiore and DeBlanc drive by.

Jesse drives down the road, lost in thought. Tulip pulls up next to him.

On the roadside, Tulip shows Jesse the address that Dany gave her. “Carlos,” he says. In a flashback, Jesse stands over a dead security guard whom he’s shot in the head, as an alarm sounds in the background. Tulip screams at the getaway car as it speeds away. In the present, Tulip proposes they kill Carlos, the “rat bastard, money-stealing, child-killing, life-ruining son of a bitch.” Jesse and Tulip drive off together.

At night, Fiore and DeBlanc walk toward the church, armed with guns. Cassidy runs them over with the van, killing them. Cassidy looks at the bodies and recognizes them as the men he killed in the chainsaw fight. Believing them to be clones, he heads back to the church to find clean-up supplies.

Inside, Cassidy runs into Fiore and DeBlanc. Before he can kill them again, they explain that they’ve come for Jesse, not him. “He has something of ours and we need to put it back,” DeBlanc says, indicating the can.

Tulip fills up at a gas station. As Jesse tries to tell her something important, she gets into a fight with another driver. Tulip recovers from her argument with the stranger, but Jesse just shakes his head and wanders off to the bathroom without telling her what it is he wanted to share.

In the bathroom, Donnie sneaks up on Jesse with a gun. Donnie plans on making Jesse squeal this time. “Back up,” Jesse commands. Donnie backs up. “Sit down,” Jesse commands. Donnie sits down, with horror slowly settling in as he realizes Jesse has some sort of control over him. On Jesse’s orders, Donnie puts the gun in his mouth and pulls back the hammer. Petrified, Donnie waits for Jesse’s next command. “I get it,” Jesse mutters to himself, finally understanding how his power works. He tells Donnie to leave.

Back at the car, Jesse tells Tulip he changed his mind. Despite her protests, he walks away leaving her at the gas station.

At the church, DeBlanc tells Cassidy that people will die if they don’t retrieve what’s inside Jesse. Cassidy asks what they want to do with it. “Nothing,” says DeBlanc, saying it must never be used. Cassidy asks what branch of government they’re from. “We’re from heaven,” Fiore says.

Outside, Cassidy tells Fiore and DeBlanc that he will talk to Jesse about their mission and convince Jesse to come to them.

At Sheriff Root’s house, Eugene tells his father about Tracy opening her eyes and suggests they pay a visit to the Loach house. Sheriff Root warns Eugene to stay away.

The next day, Jesse recites his eulogy for Ted to only Emily in the church graveyard. In a nearby field, the lid on a vent flies open, emitting a gas, before it closes shut again.
19 Jun 16 Monster Swamp
Lacey, a prostitute from Toadvine Whorehouse, flees through Annville and into a field in the middle of a foggy night. Clive, one of Odin Quincannon’s men, chases her with a gun. He shoots another prostitute who appears in the field. He finally catches up to Lacey and shoots her too: It’s just paint. But, suddenly, Lacey falls into a sinkhole.In a flashback, a young Jesse prepares the All Saints chapel for services. He later listens to his father, John Custer, deliver a sermon to his congregation.In the present, Cassidy tries to tell Jesse about Fiore and DeBlanc. Jesse barely listens as he prepares for his day.

John admonishes him and whips him in front of his friends, emphasizing that the others look to him for guidance.In the present, Jesse smokes in his church residence, lost in thought.
Cassidy visits Fiore and DeBlanc at the Sundowner Motel. In exchange for cash, he promises to convince Jesse to meet with them. After Cassidy leaves, Fiore expresses doubts about Cassidy and takes out a strange-looking old telephone. “It’s time to let them know what’s going on,” he says. DeBlanc forbids Fiore from making a call, saying they will be punished for coming down without permission.

At Toadvine, a prostitute pleasures Cassidy as he gets high on drugs purchased with his recent payment from Fiore and DeBlanc.

Quincannon plays Q*bert at his desk. Ms. Oatlash alerts him that Miles, the mayor, has arrived.

Miles sits across from Quincannon and asks why sinkholes are appearing in Quincannon’s fields. Quincannon evades the question and brings up Miles’s recent meeting with the Green Acre Group, a sustainable farming company. Miles gives Quincannon a Green Acre brochure and suggests he consider a partnership, given that local tax revenues have decreased 58 percent in 10 years. Without hesitation, Quincannon urinates on the brochure.

The phone rings in Fiore and DeBlanc’s motel room. They panic before realizing it’s just the hotel phone. Fiore answers and tells the front desk they’ll be checking out soon.

At the hotel front desk, Fiore orders a burger he just saw on TV and is informed that there’s only a vending machine.

Emily arrives home with the new TV for Sunday’s raffle and relieves Miles of babysitting duties. She agrees to have a drink with him when he points out how hard she works for everyone, especially Jesse. In her kitchen, Emily laughs at Miles’s stories but reminds him that she’s never going to be with him. She then removes her pants and warns him to leave before morning. “Kids almost caught you last time,” she says.

The prostitutes and Quincannon’s crew gather at Toadvine to remember Lacey. Tulip and Clive trade angry words. Mosie offers Clive a free hour on the house to ease the situation and advises Tulip to watch her temper. Tulip marches upstairs and whips a man who she thinks is Clive, causing him to fall through a window. When Clive comes to the bedroom door, Tulip realizes she attacked the wrong man. Down below, Cassidy grunts as blood spurts from his neck.

Tulip cradles Cassidy in a car as a prostitute drives them to the hospital. She apologizes profusely and chastises herself for having anger issues. Cassidy watches her speak and asks her to kiss him. She does.

At the hospital, Tulip urgently begs a nurse to get a doctor only to turn around and find that Cassidy is gone. She follows a trail of blood to a blood bank and discovers Cassidy slurping blood from a bag.

In a flashback, Jesse’s father John wakes him in the middle of the night and takes him to Quincannon Meat & Power. Jesse waits in the hall while John goes into Quincannon’s office. While waiting, Jesse steals an ashtray. Shouts are heard inside and John walks out. “Denounce him!” Quincannon yells after him.

Back in the truck, John tells Jesse that some people just can’t be saved.

In the present, Jesse visits Quincannon’s office where they’re building a model of the Alamo together. Jesse invites Quincannon to his Sunday service. Quincannon, who is an atheist, declines. Jesse tells Quincannon that if he comes to church on Sunday and does not leave a Christian, he’ll give Quincannon his father’s 20 hectares of land — the biggest plot in Annville that Quincannon doesn’t own.

On Sunday, Jesse stands before a packed house and tells the congregation that the world is turning to shit — and that it’s all their fault. “You’ve turned your back on the Lord,” he says. He vows to bring them back to God one by one and asks Quincannon to serve God. Quincannon refuses and starts to leave. As everyone watches, Jesse puts his hand on Quincannon’s shoulder and employs the Word of God. “Serve God,” he commands. “Of course I will, yes sir,” Quincannon says. The room erupts in whispers.

Fiore and DeBlanc wait in the motel room. The phone contraption begins to ring. They stare motionless at the phone as it rings and rings.

Eugene calls him upstairs and shows him a message painted on his wall: “Finish the job.” Eugene moves out of the way to reveal a shotgun that’s been propped against the wall. Sheriff Root deduces immediately where Eugene has been and yells at him for visiting Tracy Loach.

Jesse looks out on the prairie from the Flavour Station window and smiles to himself. Emily sits across from him and asks him to explain what happened with Quincannon at the Sunday service.

A family at a nearby table commends Jesse on the powerful Sunday service and asks him to help decide on the best gospel. “This doesn’t feel like you,” Emily says.

Cassidy wakes up at Walter’s house to Tulip watching him from the doorway. She interrogates him about being a vampire before ordering him to leave.

Instead, Cassidy follows her downstairs and asks for suggestions on how to obtain drugs. She ignores him. He admits that he’s fallen for her. Tulip rejects him and says she’s waiting for her boyfriend to ditch his job so that they can go kill a man who screwed them. “Maybe this boyfriend isn’t the man you thought he was,” Cassidy says, not knowing it’s his best mate, Jesse, that she’s referring to.

Emily watches on as Jesse chats up the family at the Flavour Station.

Over at Donnie’s, he’s moping in bed, telling Betsy he’s still sick. Betsy rips open the curtains and threatens to sleep with a co-worker if Donnie doesn’t get out of bed.

As the phone rings in their motel room, Fiore and DeBlanc rehearse what to tell their bosses about the “massive security breach.”

Emily stops by the church. She cleans up Jesse’s living area before heading to the bathroom. Tulip watches Emily from a dark corner and strides after her into the bathroom, demanding to know where Jesse is. Startled, Emily explains she doesn’t know Jesse’s whereabouts.

Eugene cooks breakfast for Sheriff Root, offering to cut his food for him. Sheriff Root erupts, throwing the plate of food to the floor, roaring, “If you really want to help, maybe you should do like they said and go ahead and finish the goddamn job.”

In a mysterious control room, a man taps a gauge to release pressure. The needle lowers. He leaves the room.

Quincannon meets with Miles in his office and admits to being selfish and shortsighted. Miles isn’t expecting this change of tune and connects it back to seeing Quincannon at Sunday service. Surprised to hear that Quincannon attended church, Donnie frantically asks him what Jesse said to him. “He said to serve God,” Quincannon says. Donnie’s mind races. Quincannon tells Miles he’d like to meet with the Green Acre executives.

At the Flavour Station, Jesse counsels a man about his relationship as a crowd lines up to speak with the preacher. “Be patient,” Jesse tells the man, employing the Word of God. Tulip interrupts and warns everyone that Jesse is a bad man. “And look at me now,” Jesse says unphased. “Really look and be honest: I have changed.” A waitress tells Jesse that someone is waiting for him outside.

That night, a cleaning company van parks in front of the apartment complex. A cop informs Jesse that a man has arrived to clean the bloody mess.

The cleaner enters the apartment and starts cleaning the kitchen. Cassidy gets out of bed to prepare for the fight. Jesse stares out the window, waiting for the attack.

Tension rises as Jesse waits for the attack. Denis plays music and dances in his room. A jittery Tulip aims her gun at the ceiling. Outside, a large man in a mask approaches an officer. Jesse starts to run outside but races back to the apartment when he hears a gunshot. Inside, Tulip has shot and injured the cleaner after mistaking his cleaning product for a gun.

The officers report to Jesse that they’ve apprehended the intruder who turns out to be a harmless street drunk. Despite the false alarm, Jesse maintains that an attack is imminent.

Meanwhile, a drone cruises through the sky toward New Orleans. It’s a Battle-Ready Remote-Operated Aerial Drone — or, B.R.A.D.

Hoover informs Featherstone that they have 23 minutes until impact and suggests they evacuate. Featherstone insists on staying so that she can witness Grail’s precise engineering in action. She fantasizes about dying for the cause.

Starr studies a flyer for Angelville, which he found in Jesse’s folder. Three male prostitutes barge into the office. Starr tells them that he wanted women but they proceed to rape him at his desk. As he endures the sex, Starr looks at Jesse’s file and gets an idea.

After the prostitutes have left, Starr calls Featherstone and instructs her to call off B.R.A.D.

Featherstone sits at her computer and enters new coordinates for B.R.A.D. A fireball rises in the distance as B.R.A.D. crashes into Harry Connick Jr.’s house.

Jesse continues his surveillance for one more week. Finally, he uses Genesis to release the cops from his power. He throws his walkie talkie on the ground in frustration.

Jesse drinks alone at a bar. Starr sits next to him and introduces himself. “I hear you’ve been looking for God,” he says.

Cassidy tells Tulip that he’s going out to breakfast with Denis and the girls. After he leaves, Featherstone comments that Cassidy is attractive.

Jesse asks the Pope and Archbishop if they know where God is. The Archbishop says that God is on the run from a cabal of angels, while the Pope claims that God gave up on man and created a new species. Jesse realizes that neither knows where God is. “The boy, he knows,” says the Pope. Starr quickly ushers them out. Using Genesis, Jesse demands to know who the boy is. “He’s the Messiah,” Starr says.

Flash back to the ancient cave. Jesus’s lover gives her baby — Jesus’s baby — to Thaddeus. Thaddeus vows to protect the baby and his blood line, then orders the mother to be killed.

In the bathroom, Featherstone calls Hoover to ask for his help. When she walks out, Tulip confronts her about Dallas and demands to know Featherstone’s true identity. They’re interrupted by belligerent knocking on the door. Hoover — pretending to be “Rodney,” the ex of Featherstone’s “Jenny” cover identity — yells in the hallway.

“Rodney” smacks Featherstone. Tulip hits him with a guitar and Featherstone kicks him in the ribs. They break out in laughter.

Tulip treats Featherstone’s wound in Denis’s bathroom. Featherstone notices the loose tile hiding the Saint’s weapons and suggests Tulip fix it.

Starr and Jesse enter the Messiah’s chamber. Jesse kneels before the Messiah and asks if he’s on the right path. The Messiah urinates on Jesse and reveals himself to be an inbred simpleton named Humperdoo. Jesse stares at Humperdoo’s desk and sees drawings of dogs. Jesse uses Genesis to ask Humperdoo where God is. Humperdoo grows extremely agitated.

Tulip starts to fix the loose bathroom tile but gets sidetracked by Cassidy, who invites her to play video games.

Featherstone watches Tulip on the spy camera. She tells Hoover that Tulip almost fixed the loose tile but got distracted by Cassidy. She expresses an intense desire to kill Tulip. Hoover reminds her that Starr merely ordered them to break up Tulip and Jesse.

Tulip finally goes to fix the tile and discovers the Saint’s guns and sword hidden underneath.

Back in his jeep, Starr tells Jesse that he has wasted his life serving someone who cannot rule. He proposes that Jesse fill the vacuum left by God. “Why go on looking for God when you can just be him?” he asks. Jesse accuses him of blasphemy.

Starr drops Jesse off at the apartment complex and again offers to help him find God. Jesse insists that he has friends who can help him. “Do you?” Starr asks. Jesse sees Denis swagger down the street with blood on his face. Starr tells Jesse to think about his proposition.

In the present day, the Soul Happy Go Go armored vehicle is hauled out of the swamp. Tulip yells at Jesse for lying to her about the Saint of Killers and asks why he didn’t banish the Saint to Hell. Jesse insists that he couldn’t do that to another soul. He peers inside the vehicle then opens the back doors: The Saint is nowhere to be found.

Featherstone updates Starr on the precarious status of Jesse and Tulip’s relationship. Starr informs Featherstone and Hoover that the Messiah is a “moron” and that he’s plotting to replace him with Jesse. Featherstone and Hoover agree to join his coup. Afterwards, Hoover privately tells Starr that he has trepidations about an assignment that Starr has given him.

Jesse tells Tulip that they can’t leave until he finds God and accuses her of being selfish. Tulip points out how much she and Cassidy have sacrificed for him and asks what he has sacrificed in return. Jesse suddenly connects the Messiah’s dog drawings with the Man Dog that they encountered in the jazz bar basement. He declares that he knows where God is, but Tulip and Cassidy refuse to join him.

Jesse returns to the jazz bar basement where he encountered Man Dog. No one is there.

Mannering screens another prisoner but stops when she sees Caveman licking the security camera in the holding room.

While Mannering is distracted, Eugene and Tyler drag Hitler to their cell block and force him to open his cell with a key that he hid in his rectum.

Inside the cell, a projector plays Hitler’s memory of his date with Elsa at the Munich cafe. Armed Communists enter the cafe and beat up an innocent bystander. Hitler picks up one of their guns. Instead of fighting back, he meekly hands the gun over to the Communists. Disappointed by Hitler’s cowardice, Elsa dumps him.

Back in the holding room, Hitler tells Eugene that that day in the cafe was the last day that he was ever good. Eugene asks Hitler to help get him out of Hell. Mannering summons Eugene to his screening. Hitler promises to come for Eugene.

Hitler asks for everyone’s attention in the holding room. Tyler scoffs and asks why they should listen. “Because I’m Adolf f—king Hitler!” he commands.

Tulip leaves Denis’s apartment to destroy the Saint’s weapons. Denis realizes that Cassidy likes Tulip and urges him to “take her.”

Jesse tells Starr that God was Man Dog and laments his oversight. Starr guesses that Jesse isn’t looking for God so much as he’s looking for forgiveness for killing his father. He reveals a trove of audio recordings of Jesse’s prayers that were archived in Heaven.

Tulip and Featherstone bring the Saint’s weapons to a smelting shop. The owner refuses to smelt guns that might be potentially loaded but agrees to help when Featherstone threatens to accuse him of rape.

Tulip and Featherstone discuss the Saint while waiting for the smelter to destroy the guns. Tulip figures Jesse must have had his reasons for lying to her.

The smelter informs Tulip that the guns were impervious to the molten metal. She touches the guns and finds they are perfectly cool, despite having been bathed in 4,000-degree molten metal.

The woman — his grandmother — praises him. “Thank you, God, for killing my father and bringing me home,” he says at her orders. Nearby is a building for Angelville Gator Tours.

Starr implores Jesse to take over for God. Jesse uses Genesis to command Starr to shove the reels up his rectum. He then commands the receptionist to let him out of the office. Genesis falters. Jesse issues a second command. The receptionist obeys.

A postal employee picks up the Saint’s weapons from the mailbox.

Starr calls Hoover and tells him to execute the back-up plan.

The real Soul Happy Go Go vehicle sits in the middle of an empty warehouse, where Starr has been hiding it. Hoover gets out of the van and runs, leaving the doors open behind him. “Preacher,” growls the Saint from inside the vehicle.

The extrapolator breaks.

In a flashback, Jesse sends the Saint of Killers to the bottom of the swamp in the armored truck. The Saint punches the back door.
