ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Is it safe to say the Friars of Ascension worship Lucifer?
That first moment where humankind struck out on its own.

From that act in defiance, our entire civilization sprang up.
They credit these angels-slash-demons as the ones who really created humanity.
Its not a dark, disturbing ceremony.
In a lot of ways, its very beautiful and open and loving.
Weve been planting the seeds for the conspiracy since the very first episode.
Who are these guys collecting organs, and whats with these Tattersall vans that are driving around Chicago?
Youre going to start to see a lot of those questions get answered.
Thats definitely a question that were going to continue to explore going forward.
If thats true, we have no idea who we can trust.
We dont know where our enemies are, or where theyre going to strike.
Theres no one they can necessarily trust to help them.
Regan and Chris get to talk about what happened inThe Exorcist.
What was your approach for that scene?
Was it them finally airing all this stuff out?
Or was it more addressing the events of the film?
What happened in the 40 years since the story ended?
Life really doesnt work that way.
Its much more complicated and messy.
Thats something were trying to capture.
Regan has now heard the Salesman.
Is he going to start targeting her now?
Its definitely an ongoing question in the back half of the season.
What does the Salesman actually want?
Where we saw in episode 5 that hes telling Casey, Bring her to me.
Up until this demon had a run-in with Regan MacNeil, he probably had a pretty flawless track record.
He was definitely one of the big ones.
He had never really been defeated before up until now.
And that means targeting her family, and destroying [them] in front of her.
How about Father Tomas?
Hes broken this big vow for him.
What does that mean for him going forward?
And how about Marcus?
He does have some success with Casey at the end.
Well, Caseys definitely not saved yet.
Basically, the baptism in the lake knocks the demon back for a little bit.
Even in those last few moments, the demon is taking control of Casey once again.
Its a very temporary victory.
This episode is a big part of it.
He goes out and tracks her down and finds her.
When we see Casey, she has obviously reverted to a very feral animalistic state.
Thats a story thats absolutely going to carry into episodes 7-10.
Its the first salvo in thislarger exorcismthat we teased in episode 5.
