At this moment Nick arrives and tells Jack that the FBI has been questioning him and JoEllen for hours.

Why does that warning feel so ominous?

So much for a sleepy small town, Kaia says.
Oh honey, you haven’t seen anything.
And then the reveals start coming fast and furious.
Its Calvin, who apparently did not die in the explosion in season four.
I thought you were dead!
So did the person who tried to kill me, he says nonchalantly.
She asks what he wants, and he says, You know what I want.
I want to be a father to my boys.
Holy $@!*!

And is Kaia inadvertently going to make Preacher’s life a living hell?
We’ve got a lot to look forward to.
