Let's Know About the Episodes

Riley Flynn returns to his birthplace of Crockett Island, a small offshore fishing community, after serving four years in jail for causing the death of a young lady in a drunk driving accident. Riley tries to reintegrate with the town's devout Catholic society, which includes his parents Annie and Ed, adolescent brother Warren, and childhood girlfriend Erin Greene, despite having lost his religion during his sentence.

The cats found along the shore had no known cause of death, according to the locals. Bev sprays 1080 around the church's perimeter to keep predators at bay.

Joe's dog dies unexpectedly after eating food from the ground at the island's traditional Ash Wednesday “Potluck” Festival.
Episode 3
After Leeza's miraculous recovery, which the inhabitants think was a miracle, Crockett Island begins to experience a religious resurgence. Leeza pays a visit to Joe, who is seeing her rehabilitation for the first time, and tearsfully confesses her hate for him for causing her life-altering disability, only to forgive him in the end.
Joe, moved, decides to join Riley and Father Paul at an AA meeting. When Sheriff Hassan finds that his son Ali is studying the Bible, his Muslim religion pits him against the town's predominantly Christian populace.

Erin is informed that she has miscarried during a routine examination by Crockett Island's resident doctor Sarah Gunning. Erin spends the day with Riley, distraught, grieving her unborn child and talking about their childhoods and beliefs about the afterlife.

Meanwhile, Bev deduces Father Paul's actual identity when he begins to show signs of vampirism, such as burning in the sun.
Episode 5
Erin files a Missing Persons Case with Sheriff Hassan, who believes Riley may have relapsed or committed suicide due to his unexpected departure. Father Paul preaches a homily filled with military imagery on the evening of Good Friday Mass, urging the audience to prepare for war as soldiers in God's army.
