The episode takes us back in time to 1881, where a man
leaves his wife and sick daughter behind and rides into the desert to find a
cure for the daughter. This might be confusing for someone but this man is a
major character in the comics and so we shall see more of him.
Back to the future, the episode at first explores the
relationship between Jesse Custer and Cassidy and also Jesse and Tulip. Tulip
‘crashes’ the baptism ceremony and asks to be baptized. Cassidy is broke and he
is trying to get money from Emily. She tells Jesse about Cass who says he will
talk to him. Eugene’s looks give Cass a real scare, when I thought someone like
him had seen everything. Cass what happened to him and he tells him about the
failed suicide with a shotgun. Someone shouts murderer when Sheriff Root and
Eugene are leaving the church but Eugene asks his Dad not to pursue the matter.
Inside the church, Linus confesses to Jesse about his pedophile temptations.
Later, when Jesse is asking for suggestions for the Church,
Tulip removes his steering wheel and hangs it on a tree. Jesse and Cass talk
about God’s plan for each other with Cass saying God’s plan for Jesse is
boring. Cass asks him about who Jesse wonders why they are always talking about
him and not Cass. He asks Cass to say something about himself. Cass says he is
a 119 year old vampire from Dublin City on the run from religious vampire
hunting vigilantes. Jesse laughs it off thinking it’s a joke. Jesse takes what
Cass is drinking and it knocks him out. Cass steals Jesse’s wallet and keys and
leaves.
The two men who are following whatever entered Jesse find him
unconscious and try to get it out with some kind of lullaby but fail. The
decide to cut it out using a chainsaw but Cass (probably feeling guilty about
robbing Jesse) interrupts them and he gets a shot from a shotgun in his belly.
He kill the two men and rescues Jesse, even one the chainsaw gets out of
control and almost kills Jesse.
At someplace called the ToadVine whorehouse, Tulip is
playing poker with a group of guys (and winning their money). Tulip receives a
phone call and books a room in the house.
Cassidy cleans up the church, and by the time he finishes
realizes it’s too late for him to go outside. Enily wakes Jesse Custer up to
remind him of the appointment he has. His appointment is at Mrs. Loach’s house,
whose daughter is in a coma. The preacher tries to console her but even that
doesn’t cheer her up. She calls what he has said just ‘words.’
Tulip kidnaps Jesse and chains his ankle. She tells him
about a job she has for them. He turns down the offer but Tulip says it is a
matter of time before the real Jesse comes out. Tulips removes the chain to
reveal that Jesse was not chained to anything.
Jesse breaks into Linus’ house and tries to tell him to
leave the girl alone. Jesse baptizes him with hot water from the bath tab and
orders him to forget about her. To Jesse’s surprise, it works and Linus
completely forgets about the girl. He doesn’t even remember her ever existing.
Jesse goes back to Mrs. Loach’s house and when he is left
alone with the girl, he orders her to open her house.
Verdict: The episode did not introduce any new storylines
but just tried to expand on the first episode. It was kind of dull and slow
though it obviously had its good moments.
