Cassidy and Preacher Mess Around
The relationship shared between Cassidy and Jesse is one of the show’s most endearing qualities, especially as we get to spend more time with them. They’re relationship is odd in just the right ways; it’s the exact kind of bromance that has no right to exist, but it’s does and they’re both better because of it. So when we see them growing stronger together, it’s not only progressive to the narrative but fun, especially in the way it’s handled here. Witnessing Jesse wield his holy/unholy powers through the submissive use of his newfound 900-year-old BFF, we get to see Cassidy in a self-imposed moment of vulnerability, having to throw a couple punches, admit some deep-seated confessions (he likes Justin Bieber, bashfully) and he gets thrown into the wall for good measure. He enjoys it, of course. If you’ve lived and died several times over, getting a knick to the head is child’s play. It’s not a big moment, but it’s not only one of this week’s most enjoyable moments, it’s also one of its most quietly illuminating.
