I was right all along, jerks!

There is no difference.

Its all meat, he tells John.

Theres no spirit, theres no soul.

Ooh, this added context makes Jesses attempt to convert Quincannon even more high stakes than we imagined.

The team retreats and Donnie demands to know what Jesse told them to do.

Last week, we saw denial, depression, and anger.

This week, we see bargaining, drinking, and acceptance.

What, drinkings not one of the stages of grief, you say?

Miraculously, Eugene claws his way out of the hole Jesse punched in the church floor.

Jesse croons, Ive got you, youre back and offers him some water.

You dug out of hell with your hands?

Its not that far, Eugene says in a tone that makes me shudder.

Jesse apologizes to Eugene, acknowledging its for God to judge his actions.

Jesses not done, though.

He made a mess of things and tried to subvert peoples free will.

Since he cant be trusted with this power, he decides to give it back.

Manifestation of his subconscious?

Whatever it is, Eugenes still in hell.)

Man, I love these little flashes of just how damn good Jesse is at casual violence and mayhem.

The men all fall silent, and Clive announces, Preacher shot my dick off.

Emily arrives, concerned for Jesse and the church, but Mayor Miles tries to make her see sense.

In reality, hes a criminal, and she needs to face facts.

(Holla, comic readers!)

Roots uneasy about taking church land by force, but Quincannon disagrees.

So, you know, drink lots of water.

On the last resonant syllable, Genesis vacates Jesse, who looks up in surprise.

Bad boy, Fiore chastises the most powerful entity in creation.

Then they roll up the tarp and start to leave, conveniently forgetting all about Eugene.

Naturally, Jesses furious.

The kids rotting in hell over a mistake.

Hearing Jesses distress, the coffee can blows apart and Genesis flies back into its favorite host.

The Adelphi depart, making plans for the other option to retrieve Genesis.

With that, Eugene disappears, too.

NEXT: Oh, Tulip.

Triumphant war music plays as the townsfolk, including the prairie dog mascot, watch raptly.

Things go to hell (not literally, though) when Donnie enters the church armed with a pistol.

Uh, is that a permanent thing?

Jesse seems to feel the same way, because he faces down the barrel without flinching.

Go on, Donnie.

We both earned it.

I am, devoutly, Quincannon says.

Its just that his god is the god of meat, of whats tangible, touchable, and true.

Jesse just laughs at the craziness.

What else can he do?

But Quincannon fires back that worshipping a silent god is equally crazy.

Inspired now, Jesse asks for one more Sunday.

Ugh, okay, fine, lets check in with Tulip.

She adopts a sweet hound named Brewski.

She tosses him a ball, rubs his ears, and tells him what a good boy he is.

Let us never speak of this again.

So, Jesse doesnt want to give up his mission.

Quincannon doesnt want to give up his vendetta.

Emily doesnt want to give up her faith.

And Genesis doesnt want to give up Jesse.

Somethings got to give here.

He flips a button and sits down to resume his vigil, having relieved the pressure.

Sounds like Annvilles in for one hell of a church service come Sunday.
