"See" is the second episode of the supernatural drama television series, Preacher, which originally aired on AMC in the United States on June 5, 2016.[5] The episode was written by series showrunner Sam Catlin, and directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.[6]

The episode "See" introduces Graham McTavish and Jackie Earle Haley as the Cowboy and Odin Quincannon, respectively. Jesse (Dominic Cooper) begins struggling with God's silence. Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) opens up to Jesse about his true identity. Government agents Fiore (Tom Brooke) and DeBlanc (Anatol Yusef) sneak into the church for Jesse but Cassidy arrives in time to slaughter the duo. Tulip (Ruth Negga) once again attempts her campaign to recruit Jesse to the dark side. Later, Jesse discovers his new abilities, using them to silence barking dogs and to remove the memory of "the Girl" from the mind of a dangerous pedophile. The episode ends with Jesse using his power to try to revive a girl in a coma.[7]

"See" received praise from critics who noted the outstanding visuals, wonderfully demented set pieces, the fight between Cassidy, Fiore and DeBlanc, and great character moments that provides the series with a thematic throughline beneath the blood and carnage.[8] The episode garnered a Nielsen rating of 0.8 in the 18–49 demographic, translating to 2.08 million viewers.[9]
