Following one of her trademark barn-burning sermons, Evangelical preacher Sister Alice (
Tatiana Maslany) offers the Dodsons the church's full moral and financial support - much to her mother Birdy's (
Lili Taylor) dismay. During a routine domestic intervention, beat cop Paul Drake (
Chris Chalk) is re-routed to a gruesome crime scene, where he follows a confounding trail of evidence. Mason (
Matthew Rhys) is left incensed by a jaw-dropping admission from Baggerly (
Robert Patrick) and, after pressing Emily Dodson (
Gayle Rankin) on her husband's alibi, finds himself confronted by an outraged Della Street (
Juliet Rylance). Detectives Holcomb (
Eric Lange) and Ennis (
Andrew Howard) use Drake's (
Chris Chalk) findings to their own advantage.
