GA: Distinguish source of an Event for session vs. campaign

I want to be able to differentiate a session which starts off with a direct utm_source=Xyz and a subsequent session from the same visitor which might have started through organic traffic.

My report examines GA Events that takes place at the end of the session. Currently the second type of session also the Source set to Xyz (because this is set in a cookie for 2 years).

If I try to examine the Full Referrer value, it is also set to Xyz rather than example-xyz.com for both sessions (this seems like a bug). The Referral Path is coming up as (not set) also.

Any way of distinguishing between the initial session and subsequent sessions?

I'm looking at the report in Behaviour -> Events -> Top Events, but can also create a custom report.

You can either use a sequence segment (first interaction Xyz then any other) or examine conversion paths in the Multi Channel Reports (assuming the event you examine is set as a goal)
