2	----
3	!!This episode contains examples of:
4	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The speech Starr prepared to Jesse decries the evils of the modern world, mentioning murder, rape, sedition, incest, and... lesbianism. Not homosexuality, mind you, but ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice specifically]]'' lesbianism. Presumably because lesbians don't want to have sex with Herr Starr.
5	* ArtisticLicenseAnimalCare: While it goes without saying that you shouldn't keep your dog in a closet, you should also not just release it into a city.
6	* BookEnds: The episode begins with a flashback to Angelville, and ends with Jesse returning there with Tulip's dead body.
7	* BrokenAce: Genesis has now full-on stopped functioning.
8	* BroughtDownToBadass: Even without Genesis working, Jesse is more than able to fight off the Armenian terrorists with ease. Though since it was a staged assault, its not clear how much they were really trying.
9	* CallBack: Hitler and Eugene arrive to the world of the living in the same way Fiore did.
10	* DarkAndTroubledPast: The episode starts with a flashback set in Angelville, showing Jesse under the abusive control of two men named Jody and T.C.
11	* DisproportionateRetribution: The cashier in the store obliquely references Tulip's race, takes overly long checking her [=ID=], and calls her "darling." Tulip slams his head into the glass pane hard enough to knock him out and leave a blood stain on it.
12	* EmergencyTransformation: When Tulip is dying, Cassidy wants to turn her into a vampire to save her. Jesse, having seen how that worked out for Denis, won't let him, and the two even come to blows over it.
13	* EscapedFromHell: Eugene and Hitler finally succeed in leaving Hell.
14	* EvilAllAlong: Hitler was apparently manipulating Eugene in order to escape Hell.
15	* EvilIsPetty: Mannering knows Eugene doesn't belong in hell, but wants to keep him nonetheless because he broke her stuff.
16	* FalseFlagOperation: The Armenians who attacked the class where Jesse was preaching had blanks in their guns, which leads Jesse to the conclusion that it was a mere PR stunt.
17	* HeroWithAnFInGood: Tulip tries to make herself feel better by indulging in her regular "put odious white men in their place to stand up for downtrodden women and children" shtick, robbing an annoying cashier and giving the money to a down-on-her-luck mother. However, in this case the victim's [[PokeThePoodle obnoxiousness was so mild]] and Tulip's treatment of him [[DisproportionateRetribution so overly harsh]] that the supposed beneficiary [[EveryoneHasStandards doesn't want her help]] but walks off in disgust.
18
19	* IdiotBall: You'd think Tulip would be smart enough to come at Featherstone with a gun the moment she discovered the truth. But instead she thought it would be a good idea to use a screwdriver instead.
20
21	* InternalReveal: Tulip learns the truth about Featherstone, and is promptly shot by her.
22	* KickTheDog:
23	** Hitler violently pushes a disabled man to the ground, who wanted to ''[[UngratefulBastard help him]]'' after being run over by a car.
24	** Herr Starr orders Tulip's ambulance to be cancelled.
25	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After the teenage Jesse kills the chicken in a fit of rage, he immediately regrets it and asks his grandmother to bring it back.
26	* NeverBringAKnifeToAGunFight: Since she's caught off guard and has to arm herself with the closest thing at hand, Tulip ends up trying to fight Featherstone with a glue gun. Featherstone has an ''actual'' gun. The results are what you'd expect.
27	* NotWhatISignedUpFor: After the staged attack on the class, there is this exchange of words between Jesse and Starr:
28	-->'''Jesse:''' I didn't sign up for this shit!\
29	'''Starr:''' Spoken like a true messiah.
30	* OffingTheOffspring: Cassidy pushes Denis out of the window into bare sunlight because the latter proved to be a mentally unstable, bloodlusted individual and after he mocked his father for good measure.
31	* OhCrap: Eugene's reaction when he sees Hitler running off and violently pushing a disabled man to the ground who wants to help him.
32	* RageBreakingPoint:
33	** After being abused by Jody, the annoying Chicken pesters the teenage Jesse one too many times, he kills it by stomping on it.
34	** After Denis mocks Cassidy for his hypocrisiy of telling him to be good while having bad intentions himself, Cassidy loses it and pushes Denis out of the window, killing him by sunlight.
35	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Charon seems like an easy-going fellow who abides by the rules and stands up to Mannering when she tries to exploit her position. Too bad it gets him killed.
36	* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Due to God being gone, Mannering blows Charon off when he tells her that he is the one to decide who can leave hell. She then kills him.
37	* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Hoover tries this as a last-moment attempt to get back into the ScaryBlackMan [[DomesticAbuse Abusive Boyfriend]] persona he adopted to sell Featherstone's cover to Tulip. Since the sentence he adds "bitch" to is "you're out of moisturizer," the effect is less than convincing.
38	* TheUnreveal: The final scene ends in God's room, shown by the Dalmatian suit hanging over the bed, but when the bathroom door opens, only a bright light is seen.
39	* VocalDissonance: Charon's voice is... not what you would expect from the ferryman of the underworld. Though his voice deepens when he threatens Mannering.
40	* WhereItAllBegan: Jesse has to return to Angelville to bring Tulip back from the dead.
41	* WhamLine:
42	** For the first time ever, Denis starts speaking in English, asking his father if he can be a good lad too. Then his father gives it back to him, answering that he can't, not with him being around, and pushes him out of a window into the deadly sunlight.
43	** Starr tells Jesse that he can help his friends "and then you can come back for your soul," showing him a soul container. The car Jesse is in speeds off while Jesse is still sputtering in surprise.
44	* YankTheDogsChain: After several episodes of Hitler showing all the signs of being TheAtoner, he promptly runs off after being back in the world of the living, violently pushing a disabled man to the ground, indicating he might have been a BitchInSheepsClothing all this time.
