As for Tulip, it is a bastardized version of the arc where Jesse and Tulip wind up back at Jesse’s childhood home.

I don’t know what was worse. That version of teenage Jesse that made me want to puke, or that you could see exactly where it was going to end once Jesse brought the chicken to his grandmother.

On what The Grail offered The Saint Of Killers, my guess is they removed the portion of Jesse’s soul that was allowing Jesse to control The Saint Of Killers. Hoover going over that manual seemed like a hint.

Oddly enough, I can almost buy that a fellow who was essentially torched last season might not have bounced all of the way back.

Worth noting that Jesse’s mother’s maiden name has an “E” at the end. “L’angelle”.
