Okay, Cassidy wakes up outside a dustbin screaming 'I'm the biggest wanker in the entire world!!'. Short, but to the point. Jesse and Tulip are in bed, with Tulip having a go at him for leaving her while he goes off to play the hero. Again. But either way they make up, but when Jesse mentions Cassidy, Tulip gets kind of worked up. Time for a bit of comic relief (no pun intended) as we see Starr, rather sensitive about his head looking like a giant dick, so Featherstone gets him some wigs - It's brilliant, but he just doesn't look right with an Elvis wig! Jesse, meanwhile, puts his powers to good use, and instructs a museum curator to let him smoke (This I liked). Tulip meets her friend Amy while they wait for Jesse and Cassidy to turn up, and when they do Amy takes Jesse off to dance so Tulip can yell at Cassidy for making a pass at her, and consequently letting Jesse down. Just as things are getting really angst-ridden, Starr appears, this time with hats, and he picks himself a nice stylish fedora - I think he should have gone for the bobble hat personally. Back in the bar, Cassidy tries to start a brawl with a perfectly innocent kid, but Jesse stops him from killing the guy, and then gets scared when Cassidy hugs him - now there's an interesting plot we could wander onto... Maybe not. Didn't like this one too much. Our heroes were going in for far too much plot here, and by now Ennis should know that the comics always fail when he tries that. Starr was brilliant, as usual, and I liked his decision to continue his mater-plan of making Jesse the new messiah and then crucifying him, but needed more of him in it to save this one. On second thoughts, nothing could save this one.
