Laura Moon’s plot line returns though and instead of the visual delight featuring Purgatory, she’s instead inexplicably returned to Earth as we receive confirmation that Sweeney is well and truly dead. Instead, this week we’re given a strange buddy cop move with Technical Boy whose motivations aren’t initially clear to be honest. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with that, the show loses sight of the fact this is supposed to be Shadow’s story and how he’s the key figure in this war between Old and New Gods that’s been teased for 3 seasons without ever actually following through with God VS God action. The show doubles down on its exploration of America’s past and in particular slavery and African Gods. Meanwhile, Laura collects up the ashes of Sweeney and hitches a ride to Cairo.Īmerican Gods returns this week with a changing direction for the season ahead. Midway through her ordeal, she embraces her ancestry and begins dancing to the heavy metal her captors are playing. Well, Shadow eventually decides to try and help her as Bilquis is tortured by Mr World and the others. This, of course, puts Shadow in a difficult position when he finds out about Wednesday. As paramedics show up at the scene, he’s taken to hospital. The All-Father survives of course, stumbling out and stripping down. Well, Wednesday soon discovers Johan’s craziness first-hand, as he explodes the biker bar with Wednesday still inside. As Johan plunges a knife into his own palm, he growls that he didn’t kill his own band members… as the All Father grits his teeth and tells him to do his job. Sitting down to drink, Wednesday talks to this musician, calling him a fire-bear and encouraging him to start a new band.
Johan is there, causing problems, prompting Wednesday to flex his old God muscles and stop him from killing anyone. Wednesday heads off to visit his contacts but unfortunately things get rowdy in the bar. Well, unfortunately that’s obviously gone awry, as Mr World heads in and starts antagonizing her.
It turns out Mr World actually facilitated this meeting with Hutchinson under the pretense that she didn’t mess with the established order. World turns back into Mr World and dons his hat, heading out to confront her. Meanwhile, Ms World learns there are problems with Sanders and Levitech, realizing that Bilquis is behind all this. It doesn’t take long before he spills an address. For now, it’s the bad cop/good cop routine as Shadow encourages Technical Boy to show Mark what he can do. Shadow flat out refuses though until he finds Bilquis. Only, Shadow receives a phone call from Wednesday asking for his help. Technical Boy joins Shadow as they go after Alexandra, or at least her associate, Mark. Offshore accounts and money siphoned from clients is enough for Wednesday to use as leverage going forward. He’s certainly not the saintly figure he may paint himself to be. Wednesday’s also on the hunt for Hutchinson too, having used his contacts to hack into Hutchinson’s business accounts. He’s obviously shocked to see her as Laura learns that Sweeney is due to be cremated. Among others in the room, she asks just where Sweeney is as we receive a nice musical montage of this leprechaun.Īs Laura continues to search around, a man arriving to wash away the blood somehow brings Laura back from purgatory. Zooming in, this dust soon whisks us off to Purgatory, where Laura is currently awaiting her fate. This gives Shadow enough of a lead to head off in search of answers.Įlsewhere, a young child stumbles upon the blood-stained corpse of Sweeney while Laura’s body is simply dust on the ground. The last messages on Bill’s phone happen to be from Alexandra Sanders, the eldest daughter of Bill. Bilquis tried to fight off her captors and despite slitting the throat of one, the others drugged her and took the girl away. We then cut back in time and see exactly what happened in the apartment. Given what happened with Bill Sanders, Technical Boy deduces that this founder of computer systems may have had a chain reaction on whatever’s happening to him. Only, the New God begins glitching as it turns out Bilquis messed him up. Shadow confronts Technical Boy, knocking him against the wall repeatedly as he questions what he’s done. We then return to Bilquis’ apartment as blood carpets the ground.
As we’re introduced to several African Gods and Goddesses, they rally their kin to push past their problems with one simple mantra: We Shall overcome. Episode 4 of American Gods Season 3 begins with Ibis narrating about the changing wave of economic growth sweeping across America.īathed in blood dripping from slave-owner’s whips, we see African-American ancestors breaking their backs, picking cotton for the country to thrive.
