And Yet One of You Is a Devil

Plot

The episode opens with a flashback to a "power prayer" convention in Atlanta, where Gideon watches his father Jesse partying recklessly with friends. Disgusted, Gideon hides his phone to record the scene and leaves the room as several women enter. In the present, a man named Scotty introduces himself to Jesse’s family as Gideon’s friend and gets invited to stay, which worries Gideon. Scotty and Gideon later discuss their plan to steal the church’s money, and Scotty reveals he still has the incriminating video of Jesse, which he will give to Gideon after the heist.

Eli assigns Jesse the Easter sermon and Judy a performance of their mother’s song alongside Billy, leaving Kelvin disappointed with no new role. When Judy tells Billy, he angrily refuses to perform for Eli, insisting they keep their church status. Judy reports this to Eli, who expresses disappointment in her. Before her performance, Judy argues with her fiancé BJ, who ends their engagement and leaves.

After Gideon deposits the money offering in the vault, he changes his mind and tells Scotty he is backing out. They fight, and Gideon retrieves Jesse’s tape, escaping despite Scotty threatening him with a gun. That night, Scotty sneaks onto the estate and takes his van, witnessed by Keefe. Scotty then takes Jesse hostage, revealing himself as the blackmailer and implicating Gideon in the scheme.

Gideon tries to rescue Jesse but surrenders when Scotty threatens to shoot him. Since Jesse cannot access the vault, Scotty confronts Eli and forces him to open it. He ties Jesse and Gideon together inside the vault and escapes with the money.
