Inside the church, Jesse and Judy tell Kelvin that Keefe needs to go after tarnishing his reputation recently. Shortly after, BJ tells Judy about his encounter with Stephen over dinner. The pair agree that speaking to BJ is not the best course of action as it may aggravate him more. Jesse, meanwhile, confronts Baby Billy about his earlier boast that Aimee Leigh can be resurrected.

Kelvin talks to Keefe and tells him that he's out as the assistant youth pastor and moving him to immigrant outreach. Keefe agrees, tells him that he'll take the job, and move out the following day. As he leaves Kelvin in the room, Eli's youngest son is visibly distraught by the development. Meanwhile, Judy confronts Stephen inside an arcade about his recent encounter with BJ and all the messages he's been sending them.
