"I am leaving. You go to Jesse Custer, and you tell him this has been a warning. You tell him that unless he forgets this ridiculous attempt to hunt me down, things will be much worse next time. I am a loving God, Tulip -- but don't push it."

Jesse's commands[]
"Burn, you fuckers!!", which he shouts to Jody and his friends, who immediately combust into flames.
It is important to note that this is the first time that Jesse uses the Genesis power in such a way that the effect manifests on its own, rather than a subject being forced to obey a command.
