Revival (EP7)
Résumé de l'épisode 7
Ezra Burnham and his daughter Sarah are old hands at the business of faith healing. Ezra a preacher who lost his faith when his wife died is the front man the one who lays his hands on the deaf and lame. But Sarah is the key to act working backstage and communicating with Ezra through a tiny earphone about the plants she's scattered through the audience. It's all going well until one day a strange young man in a wheelchair approaches Ezra near the end of a revival meeting. Luke is not a plant but when Ezra lays his hands on him he not only rises from his wheelchair but he begins to float six inches off the ground. After the meeting Luke and his mother Serena approach Ezra with a proposition. If Ezra will teach Luke the secret of the revival circuit Luke will continue to work his mysterious magic at Ezra's side. But Luke and Serena are no ordinary true believers. They are aliens who can devour a human being in seconds and who have come to colonize Earth using religion as a tool. Soon the police are asking Ezra about the connection between his revival show and the disappearance of a number of young women. Meanwhile Luke's gifts have caught the attention of Reverend Sam Garland the head of the Evangelical Television Network who offers Ezra and Luke an hour slot. As he grows more suspicious - and a little jealous - of his protege Ezra tries to shut him down. But can the faith of an unbeliever and the wiles of a religious con-man triumph against the power of an extraterrestrial being?
