Plot summary
Doctor Sarah Gunning discovers that Erin's fetus has vanished without explanation and concludes that she has miscarried. Distressed, Erin travels to the mainland for a second opinion, but another doctor finds no evidence that she was ever pregnant. After his resurrection, Paul learns that sunlight burns him, and Bev realizes he is Monsignor Pruitt. Unable to appear publicly during the day, Paul administers the Eucharist privately to Sarah’s elderly mother Mildred, who suffers from dementia but recognizes him as Pruitt. Joe later visits Paul and discovers him drinking the Angel’s blood, which Paul has been mixing with sacramental wine and distributing to the congregation.
Overcome by bloodlust, Paul kills Joe and drinks his blood. The next morning, Bev, Mayor Scarborough, and handyman Sturge find the body, but Bev conceals the killing, believing Paul’s resurrection signals the Second Coming of Christ. During an AA meeting, Paul falsely tells Riley that Joe is visiting his sister. Knowing Joe’s sister is dead, Riley returns to confront Paul and discovers the Angel filling a decanter with its blood before attacking him.
