He needed to get him to come to Church which made no sense since he could have just made him come since he was using his powers on him anyway
Yeah but seems like they had a certain rapport/familiarity? Like this was a semi-regular catchup that they have? Seems starnge that Jessie would be hanging out with him given what we've seen of the 2 characters so far.
I'm probably jumping the gun a bit and it will be fleshed out more in coming episodes, hope so anyway.
