When authorities of the cash-poor town of Tipton refuse to let the carnival set up, Samson takes Jonesy's advice and temporarily reinvents the troupe as a religious-revival show - with Ben as its headliner "act." Brother Justin is headlining his own new show at the former Chin's, promising to bring "Old Time Religion" to migrants, a move that upsets his regular congregation. Back in Tipton, Ben and Sofie visit an ailing woman outside of town in search of clues about his history. And Samson decides to change Carnivàle's travel itinerary to take them through Texas.
