He literally rose from the dead.
But first, some history.
Morning comes and disappointment cracks a few faces.
Hark, the pastor forgot to carry the 1 in his initial calculations, but he corrected his math!
The new date is April 16.And then Aug. 7.
Disappointment gives way to confusion to doubt to disillusionment to anger.
Retreating to the church, she collapses next to other white-robed broken souls.
Have they committed suicide?
Meg is smoking and feeling philosophical.
She got her revenge, and knows its price.
She wasnt all wrong.
Fade to white: Three Years Later.
Its now year 7 after the Departure, and as Rev.
Matt will teach us, the Bible is funny about that number.
(Revelations 19:11-16: Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse!
Jarden has changed since the GRs attack and subsequent ka-boom.
It makes even more sense later when we discover how Kevin and Tommy met.
Miracle changed all that.
No, hes not watching porn, as Kevin says.
Actually, he was reading a news article from theMapleton Gazette.
And apparently, after getting a divorce from Erika.
Or for that matter, where is Lily?
Is Lilys absence related to Noras broken arm?
Were sure to find out, because Noras future looks very dark.
Kevin seems to be holding up pretty well, all things considered.
For one thing, he still has a death wish.
When hes left alone before work, he wraps a dry-cleaning plastic bag around his head and asphyxiates himself.
The appearance of a sketchy character from his past also bodes ill for Kevins inner demons.
When the world blows up on Oct. 14, beware of dogs, Dean seems to be saying.
Kevin makes the mistake of being honest: What youre thinking is happening?
Its all in your head.
Dean blows a dog whistle and leaves disappointed and agitated, reminding me of Megs line about tigers…
He surfaces and examines the toxic drums.
The water hasnt been poisoned after all.
Did Kevin really suspect that it was a ruse?
Does he still want to die?
But before he wades out of the water, Michael moves toward him and asks to baptize Kevin.
With the crowd paying close attention, Kevin acquiesces.
When hes dipped under the water, Kevin flashes back to his bathtub birth scene in the dream hotel.
Back in the lake, he skeptically whispers to Michael, That didnt count.
Afterwards, Tommy drives a soaked Kevin to change.
But their conversation is interrupted by a bullet that whistles through the windshield.
Just as Dean is about to kill Kevin, Deans head explodes.
Kevin survives again, and if youre paying attention, its almost as if he cant be killed.
He swallowed poison and was buried… only to rise from the grave.
He took a bullet in the gut… and lived to walk home and embrace his family.
He tries to suffocate himself with a plastic bag… but cant.
He plunges into what could be toxic waste… and gets lucky that the water is clean.
Matt is paying attention.
So are Michael and John.
Mary is leaving Matt and taking Noah back to New York.
He thinks the New Testament is getting old, she says.
He got pretty excited when you rose from the dead.
Michael brings Kevin the gospel, the one and only copy, trusting him to do the right thing.
Hurrying outside, Kevin is about to toss the book into a barbecue pit.
And then more of them carrying messages.
A woman gathers them in cages and bikes them past green pastures of sheep.
Its Australia, yes?
No, she says, and we see that its an older version of Nora.
Im happy to play the role of the Millerite woman for seven more episodes.
