Herr Starr’s office gets a thorough cleaning, but the stack of folders on his desk (with Jesse’s conspicuously on top) remains. Speaking of Jesse, he’s being tortured by memories of watching his father get shot in the head and killed, something he’s blamed himself for in the past.

Good times.

Jesse uses the power of YouTube to continue his search for the missing God while Cassidy dumps a frozen blood bag out into a sauce pan to heat it up.  Nobody is talking to each other much.  Tulip grabs another frozen blood bag on the way into the kitchen and presses it soothingly to her battered and bruised bosom. Cassidy gently suggests she stop going to the Hurt Locker, and Jesse thinks she needs to go to bed for a while. Tulip lashes out at him, stating in no uncertain terms that she is. Not. Going. To. Sleep.

Jesse uses Genesis to tell her to sleep. She sleeps.  She is not going to be happy he did that.

Surveillance footage of what just happened is shown to Herr Starr, who makes a disparaging comment about it. He is not impressed. He tells Featherstone and Hoover to have Jesse, et. al., killed.  A van full of white-armored soldiers is soon on its way to Denis’s apartment in the dead of night.  When they pull up, they all strap on microphones, night vision goggles, and, most importantly, noise-canceling headphones to block out the sound of Genesis.

They silently enter the apartment and start creeping from room to room.  Cassidy jumps to attack them and they blow him away. Denis is shot as he lies in bed.  Jesse is able to grab one of the soldiers, rips his headphones off, and commands him to kill the others. Before Jesse can ask him any questions about the people behind the raid, Denis rips his throat out since, naturally, he’s now a vampire, too.

Meanwhile, Herr Starr is on a date with a lovely young woman who, in an awkward moment, attempts to make a connection with her stone cold companion by relating a story of a mentally-challenged young man who smiled at her. Starr scoffs at the story of the “imbecile” and humiliates the woman by commanding her to remove her blouse and put a stick of butter under her chin. Uh…yeah. Before the date can continue, one of Starr’s minions whispers to him and he abruptly leaves the dinner table.  She lets the butter fall with a bewildered and hurt expression.

In Starr’s office, Featherstone and Hoover await punishment for screwing up Jesse’s assassination. Starr unrolls a huge plastic tarp and lays it on the ground. They look worried. Starr points a gun at Hoover and pulls the trigg–and it jams. Featherstone walks over and helps him unjam the firearm, but also talks him out of shooting them at the same time. Clever girl. She suggests they activate BRAD. He agrees, promising to kill them both if this new plan does not work. He also tells them to procure a few prostitutes to satisfy a rape fantasy of his.  Charming.

Tulip wakes up from her Genesis-induced sleep, and is annoyed at Jesse for using it–but is also a little gobsmacked at the carnage now littering the apartment. Jesse uses Genesis to command the police send a cleaner and patrol a perimeter around Denis’s place. He knows something bad is coming.

Featherstone tells Starr that BRAD is on its way, while Starr watches surveillance footage of Jesse lamenting the absence of God.  Starr looks thoughtful, then starts searching through Jesse’s file in earnest. 

Cassidy has been badly hurt by a gun blast, and Denis gingerly feeds him blood to help him heal.  Cassidy tells Jesse that he’ll try to be ready if they are attacked again that night.  Tulip is still feeling out of sorts, so Jesse reminds her of a time when a painful earache subsided after she got into a raucous fight. And…this works on her? Really? Tulip agrees and goes to Featherstone’s apartment to ask if she can borrow her gun (didn’t any of those Grail soldiers have a gun she could take?). Featherstone, in disguise, lends it to her, which annoys Hoover.

That night, with the Genesis-commanded police still guarding the apartment, a cleaning van drives up and its occupant is allowed to come up and start cleaning. We never get a good look at his face, which makes all his actions in the apartment super suspicious.  The tension is not helped by Denis joyously playing loud music in his bedroom that Jesse keeps yelling at him to turn off. Cassidy attempts to pull himself together for the anticipated melee as Tulip nervously brandishes her gun and Jesse keeps an eye out the window.

Suddenly, one of the policemen is attacked by a large man wearing a mask (and not much else).  Jesse runs out the door, but stops when he hears a gunshot from back in the apartment.  In her nervousness, Tulip has shot the cleaner, mistaking his spray bottle for a gun.  The large man outside turns out to just be another drunken partygoer. 

Meanwhile, BRAD (the Battle-Ready Remote-Operated Aerial Drone) jets its way through the heavens on a collision course with Denis’s apartment.  Featherstone and Hoover are still in the apartment down the hall, monitoring the drone’s progress as it gets closer and closer. To them. At 23 minutes ETA, Hoover wonders if they should quickly leave the area, but Featherstone claims it will be glorious to witness the power of The Grail firsthand.  Hoover gives her some serious side eye.

While Starr looks intently in Jesse’s file folder, paying particular attention to a flyer about the town of Angelville, three prostitutes come into his office, ready to  fulfill that rape fantasy. Three male prostitutes.  With an exaggerated eye roll, Starr explains a mistake has been made, that he wanted three females, and he does not want this to happen anymore. “No means yes, boys,” they exclaim and bend Starr over his desk, taking him forcefully from behind.  He endures this humiliation with a bored expression on his face, suggesting that these three bozos are amateurs in the ways of sexual violence. Starr suddenly notices something in the Jesse file.  His interest is piqued. 

After this ordeal is over and the three prostitutes have gone, Starr calls Featherstone and demands she call off BRAD. After a few tense, frantic moments trying to re-aim the drone’s missile, she gets it to blow up…Harry Connick, Jr’s house? Hehehe

A week goes by, with no activity at the apartment. Jesse finally releases the cops to go back to their normal lives, while he heads to the bar to drown his sorrows. He sits. He drinks. Starr suddenly sits next to him and says, “I hear you’ve been looking for God.”

Starr is taking a risk doing this; Jesse can easily use Genesis on him, and he’s not in a very good mood right now. But maybe he can convince Jesse to call a temporary truce right now in order to reach the same goal? Hmmm…
