Jesse Custer struggles to escape a past of crime and violence. A renegade angel-demon spawn comes earth looking for a host. And an Irish vampire named Cassidy lands in Texas.
We get our first glimpse of the enigmatic Cowboy whose story of the past parallels the present-day. Jesse is hunted by two angels looking for the escaped entity inside him. Then, meet the richest, most sinful man in town.
Jesse tests the limits of his new power on the town bully. Jesse's ex-girlfriend Tulip tries to draw him back to his old way of life to take revenge.
Jesse risks losing his church after he bets known atheist Odin Quincannon that he can lead him to God. Cassidy makes a deal to bring Jesse to the angels and has a run-in with Tulip.
Jesse uses the Word Of God to help many in town, including the badly disfigured Eugene (Arseface), but soon learns his new ability might not be divine. The Cowboy makes a tragic decision.
The angels reveal all to Jesse about the true nature of his power, known as Genesis. An even more powerful angel comes to Annville to also hunt Jesse down. A tense argument with Arseface ends in disaster.
