Straight to Les Enfants du Sang, who are all pleased that they've got Tulip, until she takes out that automatic and blasts a few of them away. Jesse, Cassidy and Arseface are still wandering through the city, Arseface feeling great and the other two still smirking, when a live band invites him up to sing. A guy appears, interested in becoming an agent for Arseface, but Jesse and Cassidy are too busy on a long and frankly pointless discussion about Bill Hicks. Jesse is heading back, and finds Tulip waiting for him outside the hotel, seeing as its got a little bit crowded with all the dead bodies and cops that were filling their room. They find Cassidy, who is amazed to discover that Les Enfants du Sang are still around, but none of our heroes see that they are being followed by one of them, they meet up with Xavier and Janis (who for no reason now seems to be white) and learn a bit more about the voodoo ritual Jesse's about to go through - apparently involving a big snake. Cassidy is obviously not that interested and is still trying to get into Tulip's knickers, and Tulip seems less than receptive. Finally, they all head out to the cemetery for a bit of a ritual, still unaware of the tail they've picked up, and we get to meet Luther, Jesse's new scaly friend. Another good one. I have to admit, it's having Arseface in it that gives it the humour, which it really does need because I'm getting more than a little sick of the whole Tulip-Cassidy thing. Dying to know what he does with that there snake!
