Plot

Matt Colleti (Michael Chiklis), a bakery owner, witnesses a hate crime, with two white men beating up a black man. The next day, Tess is a preacher who announces a new stained glass window put up. Later, a rock with a white supremacy sign on it is thrown through the new window. Andrew hosts a meeting at the church stating the incidents that happened the past few days. A mechanic named Derek (Todd Rulapaugh) questions whether they should do anything or not, seeing as the risks they could be taking.

The next day, another building is trashed. Everyone starts arguing. This is when Matt decides to confess. He confesses that he did see the hate crime. But not only did he see two people beating up a black man, but he saw a third person, sitting in the back of the car, who he thinks it was the Devil himself. Nobody belives him, and leave. Later, Matt's bakery blows up, and Monica just saves Matt. Saddened, Matt starts crying. This is when he sees Tess, Monica, and Andre as angels. Tess says God wants to use him as a prophet who will lead the townspeople against the satanic forces in the town.

The next day, Matt leads all the townspeople to the mechanic shop where the two white men from the hate crime and Derek are. Matt announces that derek is Satan, but Derek denies it. Matt holds in his hand a loaf of bread, and breaks the bread and shares it amongst the people, a sign from "The Last Supper." The two men are arrested, and Satan disappears.
