Unfortunately, Maman says resurrecting a god isn’t as easy as it used to be.Īlthough she can’t really help Laura, Maman’s happy to announce Mad Sweeney’s dead body is in good shape. Although she claims she’s only doing so to obtain something from his horde so she can get revenge on Wednesday, we know it’s because she genuinely likes the towering leprechaun. Laura’s looking for a way to bring Mad Sweeney back from the dead. Laura Moon ( Emily Browning) pays a visit to Maman Brigitte (Hani Furstenberg) and learns Baron Samedi is out of town. Shadow knows he’ll be in deep trouble if his real identity is discovered. This new job is a government contract which means a thorough background investigation is required. Although he’s new to the job at Northwest Foundry Steel Casting and Machinery, his co-workers seem to like him and his boss even offers him a promotion. His followers chant “Odin” and he screams his approval and acceptance of their devotion.Įlsewhere, Shadow Moon ( Ricky Whittle) has adopted the name Mike Ainsel and is sporting a glorious full head of hair. Odin leaps from a balcony and crowd surfs as the performance continues.

Odin ( Ian McShane) rises to cheers from the crowd as lead singer Johan Wengren (Marilyn Manson) demands the crowd spill blood in his name. The dance devolves into a performance by Viking death metal band Blood Death in honor of the Allfather. Season three episode one, “A Winter’s Tale,” begins with…of all things…a ballet dance. (Those familiar with Neil Gaiman’s book weren’t surprised by this turn of events.) Laura Moon pledged to kill Wednesday while Shadow found himself on the run, the target of a massive manhunt by law enforcement in connection to the Bellefontaine massacre. Season two of Starz’s American Gods ended with my favorite character, Mad Sweeney ( Pablo Schreiber), dead at the hands of Shadow Moon who, in a shocking twist, learned he’s actually Odin’s son.
