He wants revenge for the beating Jesse gave him, for making him the laughing stock of Annville. This latter storyline brings some importance though, when Donny decides to corner Jesse at gunpoint in a gas station bathroom. And we return to Donny Schenck an angry, abusive husband and Quincannon employee who received a smack-down from Jesse two episodes prior. Jesse’s miracle healing is retold to Emily Woodrow, a character who has been present but never actually done anything to merit a mention so far. We check in with the Root family Arseface, his uncaring father and catatonic mother, for what feels like needless filler. Of all the episodes so far The Possibilities dedicates to most time to the storylines occurring in the background of the show. If he has some hidden agenda here then director Scott Winat is doing nothing to hint at it. Cassidy is clearly a buffoon but even he’s not stupid enough to trust Fiore and Deblanc so quickly. While the angels were more reasonable this time around it doesn’t change the fact that they were willing to chainsaw Jesse to death.
The confrontation ends with Cassidy agreeing to mediate between the two parties, which feels like an odd turn of face. Cassidy quickly dispatches one set of angels with the church van and is about to pummel them all over again before they assure him it’s Jesse they want. Thankfully this is Preacher where no act of gonzo violence is ever the same as the last. When it’s revealed that the two have apparently limitless bodies to resurrect into you may be worried that their attempts on Jesse’s life are going to get repetitive. With Jesse gone it falls on Cassidy to deal with Fiore and DeBLanc, the very agents of Heaven who Cassidy thought he had killed last week. It’s all Jesse needs to hear before jumping into Tulip’s car ready to wreak vengeance. Revealing that the job she’s been teasing has been to find the location of Carlos, an associate from their wilder days who botched a job and got several innocent people killed in the process. Only when Tulip shows up does he find a meaningful way to use The Word. Appropriately Cassidy is the guinea pig for his first round of testing in a sequence that’s amusing, but brief. Jesse however prefers to hide away in his church, reflecting on what his power can do. Now she’s opened her eyes and the whole town is abuzz with the news. In addition to wiping the memories of a would-be paedophile last episode he also tried to use the Word on a comatose girl. Given how much impact the ending lacks it’s pleasant to see the episode begin to deal with the consequences of Jesse’s actions.
This shift in mood is then punctuated by sequence of sharp, but slow string instruments that feel eerily similar to 2013’s Under the Skin. To her credit Negga lets Tulip’s guard slip just enough to show how much this means to her. Through flashbacks we begin to see that this is less about some big score and more of a personal vendetta for her. Keeping in character, but leaving us with a sense of being robbed of a real climax.Īt the very least ‘The Possibilities’ attempts to get the ball rolling as it opens on Tulip, receiving the information she’s been looking for. The downside is that, much like the pilot, Jesse simply runs up to the cusp of doing something dramatic, only to back away at the last moment.
Preacher episode 3 summary plus#
Plus we get some much needed information regarding exactly what Tulip wants Jessie for. Dominic Cooper and Ruth Negga have great chemistry together, visibly drawn to one another with an undercurrent of high energy. After a Cassidy-heavy episode last week we finally get to see Tulip and Jesse spend some real time together, which turns out to be something of a mixed blessing.
