The slew of stills released by NBC for this week’s episode of Constantine, “Blessed Are the Damned,” highlight Zed’s return to John’s side after her absence last week.

On the last episode of Constantine, John and Chas embarked on a mission together to investigate a series of child possessions which have lead to some gruesome murders. They eventually figure out that the spirit has been traveling along ley lines in order to find its next victim. They follow the same lines to Henry, a child who has recently been exhibiting some strange behavior.

When John tries to bind the spirit to one place, in order to stop the deaths, his attempt fails. When Henry shows up wielding an ax, John manages to connect the dots back to Marcello, the first victim. Rather than a vengeful spirit, Marcello’s soul had just fled his body — following the murder of his parents. John sends the spirit back into Marcello’s body, leaving him to live out his days at the mental facility. You can check out our detailed recap here.

This week’s episode sees the return of Zed, as she travels with Constantine to investigate a miracle working preacher.

It looks as though Zed will be testing the preacher’s miracle working abilities directly from the stills for this episode, and Manny will also be making his return to aid John. Or so we assume.

John appears to be giving Manny an ultimatum about his involvement in helping them against the terrors that haunt the earth during this week’s promo — and we can’t say that we blame him really.
