Cody arrives with the caravan, but in the church parking lot, two fellows with "bad reputations" await. 

Cody, urged by the congregation to run off the "hypocrites," knows he is definitely lead pastor of Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name now, and there's no doubt about it.

It begins a season of battling church issues (marital and relationship problems primarily) until the point he can take it no more. Cody decides to get away, down to South Carolina. This initiates a string of trips to snake shows where snake trading is "wide open." 

"I wish I could change so much of what happened down there," he laments in this episode. "But unfortunately, I cannot."
