With the right faith, the show was okay

Warning: Spoilers
It was inevitable that DZ does a Nazi show. Does this count as its KKK show or will that one be popping up one of these days, as well? Nice to see Dana Bright check in to say hi. She kind of left without saying goodbye, this show at least explains where she ran off to. Closure rules. What doesn't rule is seeing our first glimpse of Gene Purdey since he was on Johnny's couch crying, but not mentioning a thing about his Janice problems. Definitely weird, but definitely expected.

Once we get past the standalone factor and the trauma factor once again, adding to that the contrived factor, where we meet a whole new bunch of people to set up a story with a theme and then never hear from them again, and the Where's Waldo factor, as we haven't seen Sara once this season, then you can enjoy the show. And I'm getting real talented with doing that stuff, so I did! This episode was deep, moving, and entertaining. Kristen Dalton looks like she went through some kind of something in her absence because she looks very different but she still shines like in the days of old with her playful-yet-helpful-in-many-ways character.

The show is focused on the target of a possible white supremacist's wrath being a nice pleasant Muslim boy. Why a Muslim and not a black (a side target in the show), a Jew, or a Latino? Is it because they did a Muslim terrorist episode in the second season and wanted to balance out their fire? That would be an understandable reason.

The ending was a pretty obvious one but there was still some twists not seen coming. A little odd that Johnny was able to get visions by merely standing a certain way at one point and by touching an earing that had nothing to do with the scene he visualized another time, but sometimes Johnny just gets visions any which way. I'll have to name that as a factor to get over sometime down the line. In the meantime, I wanna arc storyline show! But I'll be patient. There's still time
