Obviously, there’s a clear chemistry between Dominic Cooper and Ruth Negga, who also happen to be dating in the real world. If anyone was the standout star of this episode, it’s Ruth Negga’s Tulip, as her big grin is reminiscent of the Cheshire Cat, promising to drag Jesse into a Wonderland of crime and depravity.

( Spoiler Policy Regarding the Comics: Preacher recaps will steer clear of comic spoilers in the main text, but for comic readers or those interested in learning more, there’s a “Comic Issues” section at the bottom that deals with specifics.
