When this episode opened I thought it was a cold day in Hell, but nope it was just a Quincannon family vacation in Vail. Odin skipped out and his family fell to their deaths, but these deaths drove him into madness. His family was shipped to him and he ripped open the boxes and compared their insides to the insides of a cow. When he saw no difference he called the preacher, Jesse’s father, and told him that there was no soul within either one and insisted that he go into his church and denounce God right away. Yeah, that opening was pretty grim, but it did show why Odin has such an issue with God.

In the present Jesse is fighting off some men who broke into the church on Odin’s orders. He managed to not only beat them up, but also took all their weapons. With the men gone Jesse is asking God to bring back Eugene, he’s doing a lot of bargaining, even promises never to use Genesis again. He hears a strange sound under the church and suddenly there’s Eugene. The poor boy looks terrified and asks if Jesse is really Jesse or if he’s a trick. Then he pukes all over the floor, Jesse goes to get him some water, but he also wants to call the sheriff. Eugene asks him to wait to call him and he does. After a mad scramble for a straw, Jesse comes back to find Eugene in a different pew. Then three glasses later, Jesse asks what happened and how Eugene got out. He says that the voice thing called him and he dug his way out of Hell. Eugene also reveals that it isn’t very far away, but it is really crowded. That’s all Eugene wants to say though and then Jesse calls his dad. Outside Odin is talking about his plans for the new plant, which includes a cow themed international food court. The sheriff is on his way, but before he gets there Jesse tells Eugene that he never should have judged him for what happened with Tracy. Judging is something only God can do and he never should have taken it on himself. Jesse also says that he needs to give Genesis back and Eugene knows that it would have to go back to the men in the motel, who he shouldn’t know about. When Jesse points that out, this Eugene reveals that he isn’t really here. Looks like not even Genesis can pull someone out of Hell.

Tulip is at a dog rescue, it’s all outdoors so I don’t think it’s an official dog pound, and winds up adopting a furry friend named Brewski. At Emily’s the mayor has arrived and he reveals to her the deal between Odin and Jesse. He says that while it’s unorthodox that their contract is binding. Emily is racing to get to the church and Miles offers to drive her, even though he really doesn’t think she should go. She refuses, but asks him to take the kids to school. When Donnie leads a charge against him, Jesse starts shooting and he is a dang good shot. Then he throws a Molotov cocktail at the bulldozer. Jesse also totally shot Clive’s junk off, who really just wanted a food court. It’s fine though, he says it doesn’t hurt. When the sheriff arrives he asks Odin what is going on and he says that the preacher has lost his mind. Jesse gets on the loudspeaker and demands that they bring him the agents, Odin has no clue who he’s talking about, but the sheriff does.

Jesse has to invite Fiore and DeBlanc in, he did order them to stay away from him, but they’re there. Outside the church the sheriff is talking to Odin about how he’s missed Eugene and then wants to know what is going on between Odin and Jesse. Odin says that he is going to tear down the church because it isn’t holy land, he doesn’t think anything is holy so I guess the argument makes sense to him. Jesse asks if there’s any way to bring someone back from Hell and Fiore insists that there is. The random Eugene can only be seen by Jesse, which confuses the two angels when Jesse starts saying we instead of I. DeBlanc says that they won’t help him get Eugene out of Hell until they get back what they came for. Outside Miles tells Emily that they need to let Odin build his new slaughterhouse because it will help the town. With everything going on Tulip is playing fetch with her new friend. DeBlanc is going to sing the thing out of Jesse and he finally learns that Genesis has made a bunch of people explode, but no one knows why he didn’t. Neither angel thinks Jesse should have this power, even though he thinks maybe he’s supposed to have it. DeBlanc then asks the preacher what good he’s done with the power so far and Jesse just lays down on the tarp for the removal process. I’d be a little leery if someone laid down a tarp before trying to take a religious power out of me, but maybe they just don’t want to ruin the floor any more than they already have.

With the fight for the church stalled people have been picnicking on the lawn, Bull Run anyone? Odin gets up and announces that they’re going to attack by night and prepares his troops for entering the church. The men with blunt objects will be human shields and he will send groups of 15 men at a time. This plan sounds a lot like how they describe Russian attack plans from every war ever. Donnie starts walking to his car and then props himself up in his trunk. Then he shoots himself, uh what?! I wasn’t expecting that at all. In the church DeBlanc is singing and Fiore insists Jesse is resisting, which Eugene agrees with, well fake Eugene at least. This calling out song is so odd, I keep expecting Tim Burtonesque figures to start creeping through the church. It looks like it worked though, the coffee can made a weird sound when DeBlanc shook it. They start cleaning up and DeBlanc says they are going to leave, but Jesse insists that they need to help him. Neither of them seems to care and Jesse tries to plead with them, but when they won’t help Genesis gets really mad. The can pops open and it flies back into Jesse’s body. Apparently they’re just meant to be together. Jesse says they need to try again, but both angels leave.

After nightfall Odin’s men start shooting up the church, but even though the building is getting trashed Jesse is still getting off plenty of shots as the entire town of Annville looks on. Someone sneaks into the church and suddenly Jesse is face to face with Donnie. Oh, he didn’t shoot himself he just made himself deaf. Also a terrible decision, but I guess it makes sense. Jesse wants Donnie to shoot him, but instead he just smacks him in the face with his gun. While Jesse was unconscious Odin and his men came inside. He hands over the agreement and Jesse learns that Odin is serving the god of meat. Oh, so he is serving God, just a different god than Jesse thought. Technically Genesis worked, he really does need to work on specification when he gives commands. Jesse signs the paperwork, but then gets a very interesting look on his face. He asks Odin to give him one more Sunday to give the town to God, next Sunday he says he’ll bring God to this very church. This plan sounds remarkably dangerous, but hey cute dog. Tulip is at home with Brewski and after cursing Jesse she walks Brewski into a locked room. Dang it Tulip why did you have to get a cute dog?! It sounds like Cassidy just had a Brewski. The sheriff drives away from the church with Jesse as the crowd runs at the car. At the plant a man pushes a bunch of buttons and makes it stop saying danger, I have no idea what that was.

This show is crazy, I just don’t even know what to expect anymore. I’m also really, really mad about Brewski. In a town full of cows we couldn’t pick something not four legged and furry. He was so cute Tulip! I really want them to get Eugene back by the finale, that poor kid. Share your Preacher thoughts with us in the comments or on Twitter, @thenerdygirlexp.
