Hey! There was only one major fight scene this week and it was over pretty quickly, actually giving us more time to focus on the story which involved the emissaries from Heaven and Hell meeting at Masada to hash out a plan for the 2020 Apocalypse. Good times. And this week, two of our three characters finally got together … almost.
Cassidy nearly got himself out of Masada as Frankie Toscani and his men were on their way to getting him loaded up for his trip to Bensonhurst. But the emissary from Hell (Hitler) was about to pass by which gave Cas just enough time to use his angel feather to pick the locks of his shackles and kill the two guards without Frankie noticing. Impressed by seeing Hitler in the flesh, Frankie contained himself long enough to finally notice the guards were missing, but he didn’t believe that Cas actually killed them … until he saw the bodies and then it was too late for him. The quick fight ended a bit gruesomely for Frankie, a rifle stuck where the sun don’t shine, trigger pulled, basically blowing off the top of his head.
Making his way to the elevator, the doors opened and there was Tulip … and a gun pointing at his head as Featherstone had managed to sneak up on him. Unaware that Tulip was in the elevator, Cas played dumb but ended up shackled and back in his cell. Tulip found herself tapped to be the valet for the emissary from Heaven … Jesus Christ himself. Meeting Tulip, who gave him a false name, he sensed she was in trouble … and that trouble came knocking when Herr Starr showed up at the Emissary Suite. He noticed Tulip and tried to place her face, she trying to throw him off but ready to pull out her gun just in case. The situation was diffused by some divine intervention as Jesus distracted Starr and took the conversation in another direction before he left the room.
But Tulip had to come clean to Jesus and explained the situation. He thought he would be able to help since, well, he’s Jesus. But not even He could get past Featherstone to ‘bless the prisoners’. Tulip knew she would have to do this but He wanted to come along. Meanwhile, Cas is ripping the flesh from his hands trying to get them out of the shackles while the Archangel above him would not stop yammering. But once he got free, he did what he promised the angel and climbed up the wall and killed him. It seemed a brutal thing until the angel reappeared, now free from his shackles, grabbing Cas and flying straight up out of the cell. Tulip and Jesus, just missing another encounter with Featherstone, got to the cell to find Cassidy gone. Asking what she would do now, Tulip told Jesus she’d get drunk and then go do whatever she wanted. He asked if He could come along. And Hitler has made his way into the room where Humperdoo is being held, curious to check out his dance moves. But … when he finds out this isn’t the real Humperdoo, there will certainly be Hell to pay.

Meanwhile, Jesse and the pilot survived the plane crash into the ocean but their prospects for being found were slim considering it wasn’t a sanctioned flight so there’s no record of them anywhere. Jesse is convinced they can make it to Australia and all this is just a test from God. Poor pilot Steve is suffering since he isn’t wearing pants since Jesse used Genesis and told him he didn’t need pants. To distract him from the pain, Jesse again used Genesis to tell Steve to be positive but even that got to be too much for Jess so he told him to stop, which brought all the searing pain back, so he had to Genesize him again by telling him to feel no pain.
Interestingly as the days dragged on, poor Steve got more and more sunburned while Jesse … didn’t seem any worse for the wear. Why is that? Jesse finally completed a sail he’d managed to construct and Steve was barely hanging on to life. Unfortunately, his hand was also hanging over the side of the raft and when he drew it out of the water there was nothing but a bloody stump. Apparenly a shark had taken a bite but he was feeling no pain thanks to Jesse. Then the sail blew away and Steve died. Not even Genesis could stop that. Jesse called God an asshole and gave Steve a proper burial at sea … and then his body was promptly eaten by a shark … just a few yards from the Australian beach.
But Jesse’s use of Genesis has other consequences, namely that the The Saint of Killers can hear him. Now knowing Jesse is in Australia while he and Eugene are at the Gulf of Mexico, Eugene asks how they’re going to get to Down Under. The Saint blows on the hammer of his pistol and heats it to red hot, then fires a bullet into the sand. The bullet travels to the other side of the planet, coming out on the same beach, creating a tunnel from which The Saint and Eugene emerge. With Jesse, The Saint and Eugene in Australia, can Tulip and Cassidy be far behind? And what is God planning to do with Humperdoo? Is he the catalyst for the Apocalypse?
