Preacher: Dallas

"Dallas" is the fifth episode of season two of the supernatural drama series Preacher, and the fifteenth episode of the series overall. It was directed by Michael Morris with a script written by Philip Buiser. It first aired on Monday, July 17th, 2017 at 9:00 pm. In this episode, we learn about the adventures of Jesse & Tulip before Annville. See how their already rocky relationship ultimately fell apart, leading to her surprising marriage to New Orleans mob boss, Viktor Kruglov. Viktor, by the way is having a really, really, really crappy day after Jesse gets a hold of him. Oh yeah, and the Saint of Killers also has something to say on the matter - in his own nickel-plated sort of a way.
