Dr. Kristen Bouchard, a psychologist primarily employed by the
Queens DA's office, learns that the defendant in her latest trial, Orson LeRoux, is claiming to be demonically possessed in order to claim an insanity plea. When the prosecution refuses to let her conduct further tests and fires her, leaving her unable to finish repaying her student loans, she accepts a job offer from David Acosta, a professional assessor for the Catholic Church, to determine whether or not LeRoux's claims are true. At first, Kristen is concerned that he may, in fact, be possessed, as she begins receiving threatening visits from George, a demon
who taunts her for concealing her sexual attraction towards David. However, when LeRoux reveals personal information that Kristen never told him, she discovers that her therapy file was stolen by a man named Leland Townsend, who she deduces has been coaching LeRoux to act possessed. David tells her that "demons" are often just an excuse for evil people like Townsend to justify their immoral acts. Kristen decides to join David's team permanently.
22"177 Minutes"Ron UnderwoodRobert King & Michelle KingOctober 3, 2019 (2019-10-03)4.20[10]
A girl, Naomi Clark, is miraculously revived seconds after her autopsy begins, and David's team is assigned to determine if there was any divine intervention. A review of security footage appears to show the image of a woman who died an hour before Naomi, which Ben suggests could be the result of digital manipulation. The DA initially offers to reinstate Kristen on a two-year contract, but then changes his mind and hires Dr. Townsend instead as her replacement. Kristen's daughter Laura begins to see George in her dreams, terrifying her mother until she discovers (while watching a "scary film" with Laura and her sisters) that George is in fact a fictional character and therefore not real. Based on the video, David determines that the hospital pronounced Naomi dead thirty minutes too early, exposing racist practices that he has Kristen report to a lawyer suing the hospital for malpractice. The image is left unexplained, as the priest overseeing the team's work refuses to discuss it. Later that night, David purchases
hallucinogens
, which he uses to receive visions from God.

Kristen learns that Townsend intervened in an old case, reversing her expert opinion. David is asked to assess the case of Byron Duke (
Tony Award. Ben and Kristen insist that "Joe" is part of a prank being pulled on Duke by hacking his virtual assistant. However, despite Ben's attempts to trace the hack, Joe manages to enter his house and takes control of his father's virtual assistant, taunting his sister until he destroys the device. With Duke beginning to have a complete mental breakdown, David locates the disgruntled IT tech who originated the prank, but he swears he had nothing to do with hacking Ben's home. Duke subsequently commits suicide after he receives a mysterious email telling him hell is only half full. Kristen uses a deepfake of a conversation she had with Townsend to get the judge to overrule him. David is advised to start writing down his visions; this leads to him identifying a puzzle involving the Salvator Mundi
which points to a random area of convergence near New York.
44"Rose390"Peter SollettDavita ScarlettOctober 17, 2019 (2019-10-17)3.74[12]
The McCrystal family requests a formal evaluation of their nine-year old son Eric to settle their belief that he is possessed by a demon, while Kristen believes that he is simply exhibiting common psychopathic behavior. During the evaluation, Eric bonds with David, and he takes the opportunity to try and improve Eric's character by encouraging him to ask God for what he wants most in life. Sheryl buys her granddaughters expensive augmented reality headsets, which include a digital game centered around a mysterious girl, Rose390. The girls become fascinated with the game, which Ben notices. His attempt to remove the game fails, and Rose390 taunts the girls by claiming that their father is dead. Afterward, Kristen takes the headsets away. Eric begins to show improvement, and asks David to teach him how to draw comics. When David arrives, he discovers Eric trying to drown his infant sister and barely saves her life. An emergency exorcism is approved by the Church, but when the team arrives, they realize that the McCrystals murdered Eric, leaving both David and Kristen with immense guilt for failing to save him.

Kristen and Dr. Boggs are forced to weigh in on the Church's decision to perform an exorcism on Caroline Hopkins, a woman demonstrating signs of schizophrenia but also elements associated with demonic possession. Their concerns that Caroline is being tortured and deprived of medical care conflict with the fears of the priests that she will succumb to evil unless the exorcism is properly finished, and both sides argue over what to do. David ultimately cures Caroline by helping her fight off the demonic influence eating at her soul, instantly restoring her sanity. Ben guest-stars on a paranormal "ghost-finders" show, where he exposes the host's use of a chemical projector to fake a ghost sighting. His co-host Vanessa gives him her number afterward. Townsend meets Sheryl at a restaurant, seducing her by playing on her desire for love. While watching her grandchildren for Halloween, a masked guest named Brenda takes advantage of Sheryl's negligence and takes the kids to a graveyard to torment them with the story of a young girl disfigured by her cruel parents. She then disappears, leaving behind only her mask.
66"Let x = 9"Kevin Rodney SullivanAurin SquireNovember 7, 2019 (2019-11-07)3.50[14]
The team is faced with a serious issue confronting the Church: a woman named Grace Ling who claims to be a prophet of God has been making prophecies that line up with a 500-year old codex describing the end of the Church itself. David is tasked with learning whether Grace is truly speaking the word of God, but his superior pressures him to label her a false prophet and discredit her gift. Dr. Boggs teaches Kristen a simple exercise to let her control her dreams, which allows her to deal with the sudden return of George. Sheryl invites Townsend over for dinner, while Kristen visits David while he is under the influence of hallucinogens. When she returns home and sees Townsend playing with her daughters, she takes him out back and slices his neck open, forcing him to leave while trying to convince her mother not to see him again. David confronts his superior and learns that the prophecies are not of the Church ending, but the world itself. Grace is arrested by immigration officials, and is only able to transcribe part of the remaining texts for David. Sheryl secretly visits Townsend and they have sex.

Townsend mentors a young man named Sebastian, telling him to embrace his hateful attitude towards women. A team of assessors arrive from the Vatican to question the team about Grace, and provide them with access to the original codex, parts of which Kristen illegally photographs. During her exorcism, a housewife named Bridget (Annaleigh Ashford) confesses to several murders while possessed by a demon named Howard. As it is unclear if Bridget or Howard is truly responsible, Kristen and David are brought in to conduct an investigation. David reminds Kristen that since Bridget is technically her patient, she is prohibited by confidentiality rules from reporting her to the police unless they can get her to state that she intends to kill again. Kristen skillfully uses Bridget's own emotional instability to weaken Howard's influence over her, and realizes that she is not the killer, but rather covering for the real one. When her husband has her arrested, David visits him in secret, chokes him out, and finds evidence that he is the killer. Using the photographs of the codex, the team determines that there is a hierarchy of demons on Earth, each of whom has a unique mark. David recognizes one of them in several paintings created by his father.

David learns that his dad has now remarried and is using the mark in all of his paintings, claiming that it gives him a clarity he didn't have before. Ben meets Vanessa for the first time in three weeks and confronts her for not calling back; she explains that her "sister", who inhabits the right side of her body, didn't want them to get together. Ben decides to continue their relationship. David and Kristen both consume hallucinogenic drugs, causing them to have visions: Kristen witnesses Leon's wife give birth to a ghoul while David meets Annie Commerce, who Leon explains is a slave ancestor of theirs who died in 1859. The mark turns out to be the brand of the slaveowner who purchased Annie, which Leon rediscovered and chose to reclaim as his own. David is shocked by his father's decision but accepts that he is allowed to deal with the pain of their family's history in his own way. David and Kristen share an Uber as they are both still high. Kristen gets out and walks toward her house to find that her husband Andy has returned.

Kristen and Andy discover a stray cat in their pantry who clearly hates Kristen. Townsend starts preparing Sebastian to act on his hate by instructing him to make threatening gestures towards women and paying for marksmanship training. Caroline's lawyer, Judith Lemonhead, is able to mount a strong case against David by exposing his history of arrests and drug addiction, so Kristen gets Renee to go on the offense by having her and Dr. Boggs argue that the medical care Caroline received after the exorcism was responsible for her deteriorating health. Lemonhead informs the Church that Caroline is ready to settle the case for a reasonable sum. Afterward, Renee tries to force David to give into his feelings for her. Andy tells his wife that she should consider taking up mountain climbing again. Sebastian accidentally shoots himself in the head while posing with his guns.

With Sister Andrea's assistance, David translates one of the names on Townsend's map: Mathilda Mowbray. Mathilda is the foster child of Catholic-Muslim parents, who has been blamed for setting several fires but says she didn't do it. Instead, she claims a demon is haunting her. The team takes up the case and soon identifies Mathilda's demon as an ifrit or fire jinn. Sheryl visits Dr. Boggs using a fake name, and gets him to advise her on how to reconcile with Kristen. Boggs eventually learns the truth and refuses to continue seeing Sheryl as a patient; Sheryl begs him to change his mind and he decides to at least help her find another therapist. The team arranges for an exorcism, but Matilda's mother also brings in an Imam to perform a Muslim exorcism; David persuades the two men to cooperate. Though they seemingly manage to drive the Jinn/ifrit from Mathilda, the demon attaches itself to Kristen instead; its influence nearly causes her to cheat on her husband before she manages to stop herself.

Kristen's daughters help her deduce that Wyatt is a victim of the "Elevator Game", a Japanese legend in which pressing elevator buttons in a specific manner can open a direct passage to Hell. After starting, but not finishing, the game with Kristen, Ben talks to Vanessa and she encourages him to finish the game. David is invited to meet with other black seminarians and faces questions about the Church's historical attitude towards black priests; this rattles David as Townsend had previously questioned why he would serve an institution that doesn't treat him with respect. Ben finishes the game himself and becomes trapped in a forgotten sub basement, where he finds Wyatt's decaying corpse, along with that of Wyatt’s girlfriend, who had played the game seeking to rescue Wyatt. Abbey shows up and tries to push him into despair, but Ben resists and is rescued by David and Kristen, breaking down in tears as they bring him to safety.

The show's producer, Mick Carr, defends his show, saying that he only wants to promote a positive image of the police. The assessment is subsequently canceled when a grand jury refuses to indict the officer, but both David and Ben are subject to police harassment for investigating Carr.

Bishop Marx assigns the team their next case, involving an experiment in which subjects have their brains stimulated with magnetic waves, triggering spiritual visions. Ben, David, and Kristen all take part in the experiment: Ben sees his late mother, Kristen sees a false vision in which David discovers that she murdered LeRoux, and David sees nothing. Sister Andrea warns him that by using technology, he has disrupted his ability to commune with God and must work to restore it. Andy, realizing the damage his absence has caused, decides that he's willing to give up his career as a climber to save his marriage. However, when he asks Kristen to do the same, she defiantly states that her work is too important to give up.

After seeing how her daughters are beginning to emulate her bad behavior, Kristen decides to start working on her anger following a conversation with David.

Ben tries to help Vanessa deal with her sister Maggie's intrusion into their relationship, but then runs out in horror when he gets a call from Vanessa and realizes that Maggie has taken her place.

David meets with a black former Catholic priest who urges him to abandon the Church; David turns him down but his doubts towards the Church remain. Ben uncovers an antique doll in Nathan's attic, similar to a doll owned by Sheryl that she believes is possessed by a demon. Sister Andrea confesses to David that she gave up the love of her life to become a nun and argues that they are both serving a far greater purpose. The Church assigns a layman, Gregory, to cleanse Nathan's house. The exorcism fails, and Nathan asks for his doll back, as he is willing to accept a demonic presence in his house if it stops his suffering. Under Edward's direction, Sheryl performs two sinful acts and earns the right to take his place in a secret society that represents the 60 demonic houses on Earth. Sheryl accepts his sigil and performs an initiation ritual to formalize her new position.

The team initially concludes that he is mentally ill, but David changes his mind when he physically encounters Mitch's demon. Sister Andrea then reveals a secret: both she and David are among a few million humans who are close enough to God that they can see demons as they walk among humanity. Dr. Boggs, rattled by a previous encounter with George, informs Kristen that he is taking a two-month sabbatical to regain his sanity. As David is ordained into the priesthood, Townsend uses his new job as a Church assessor to take over Mitch's case. He invites him to a gathering of the 60 demonic masters, where he and Sheryl induct Mitch into their group by having him eat the flesh of a deceased member. Learning that Townsend has been speaking to Lexis, Kristen contemplates killing him, but instead goes to David to confess her unfaithfulness and murder of LeRoux.

Kristen gets a restraining order to keep Townsend away from Lexis. The Church sends the team to oversee an experiment involving a cancer-stricken priest (Wallace Shawn), who will be weighed as he dies to determine the existence of his soul. However, instead of dying, the priest becomes perfectly healthy and returns to life. When Townsend attempts to stay in contact with Lexis through an anonymous free-to-play Internet game, the Bouchard sisters band together and drive him off by overwhelming him with questions. Andy kicks Sheryl out of his house, and she curses him. David begins having sexual encounters with a woman who appears to be Kristen but has a forked tongue. An elderly nun is selected to repeat the experiment; she dies, and David speculates that the priest, who turns out to have repressed homosexual desires for one of his fellow clergymen, released the demon corrupting his mind and body when he died. The demon then passed into the nun and killed her. That night, David realizes that he has been sleeping with a succubus who turns out to be the same demon.

Kristen is forced to visit Orson LeRoux's widow for a key piece of evidence that reveals "Jack" to be a scam concocted by two young college students. Townsend gives Sheryl a steady job managing a troll farm on his behalf. Needing money to renovate their house, Kristen convinces Andy to go on one last overseas job to sell their business to a wealthy investor: Edward. Kristen, bothered by David putting distance between himself and the team (because of his work for the "Entity") asks whether he is still upset with her kissing him. David assures her that isn't the case, and they renew their friendship.
293"The Demon of Sex"Nelson McCormickAurin SquireJune 26, 2022 (2022-06-26)
David and Kristen work on helping a newly married couple who are unable to have sex due to intimacy issues. However, Sister Andrea injects herself into the case by arguing that a demon is trying to possess the couple.

millennial
workforce by making an example out of her disrespectful assistant. With Kristen's guidance, the couple engages in rough foreplay and become intimate. Sister Andrea notices that the demon, rather than accepting defeat, has instead become subservient to the couple.

A woman contacts David and the team, asking them to help her husband, a long-haul trucker suffering from the aftermath of a demon encounter on the "Ghost Highway" in lower New York. Kristen decides to become more assertive in order to set a better example for her daughters. She leads Ben and David to search for the demon, which turns out to be a drone piloted by a man named Owen; after Kristen smashes his equipment, Owen seemingly commits suicide rather than be exposed as a fraud. David has a vision of an angel protecting him and confers with Sister Andrea. She advises him to take it in stride, suggesting that his closer connection to God means he can see aspects of both Heaven and Hell. LeConte visits David and shows him how the death of Owen has resulted in the eradication of a demonic house. He reveals that the primary purpose of the Entity is to keep demons from exercising influence on humanity as a whole.
