Provincial preacher turned soon-to-be-famous faith healer, Jonah Slaughter, arrives at Babylon with his faithful assistant, Nathan. Small-town girl Caroline also checks in. So does Martin, who has an odd request – he wants an urn containing his sons ashes to be stored in the hotel safe. There is no room, so Jack enlists James to look after the ashes and guard them with his life. A fuss at the bar ensues when CaroIine accuses Jonah of being a fraud. Jonah retires.

　　In fact, Caroline is an actress hired by Nathan to try to make Jonah see that his claims to faith-heal and his ambition to make money out of God are wrong. Nathan takes Caroline up to Jonahs room, where Emily is busy discussing business plans with him. Playing her part, Caroline asks Jonah to return the money her ‘mum’ gave Jonahs mission. Jonah refuses.

　　Theres a knock at their door. Its Martin, holding a gun. Martin isnt an actor. His son had cancer and went to see Jonah, who told him God could save him and that he no longer needed to take his medication. Martins son died and now Martin wants Jonah dead.
