The Almighty Johnsons Season Two, Episode One: And She Will Come to You

Zeb and Mike are sitting on a beach drinking beer and Zeb says, “among all the other weird things, somewhere there’s a woman for you.” He reminds Axl that Frigg is out there and that he will find her, or his name isn’t Frekki.  Apparently, Zeb has decided to take that name after he discovered that Frekki, is Odin’s lone wolf.  Zeb promises to be there for him, unlike his brothers, who are useless for Gods.  Axl defends his brothers saying that they’re busy and Anders is just useless.

We flash to a scene with Axl asking Anders for help, but he says that he is on a quest and it is on a need to know basis.  Anders says he is going away somewhere cold and has grown a horrible beard.  When Axl says he needs him, Anders says he takes his good advice and spoons it.

We get a flash to Ty who is busy moving.  When Axl tries to remind him that if he dies they die, Ty says, “trust me Axl, you’ll out live me.”  Eva grabs Ty by the arm saying that she wants to christen their new home.  Stacey asks what they were doing last night, and Eva yells, “that was the kitchen.” Zeb asks if their house warming party will turn into a God orgy.

Zeb feels that Mike has been the most disappointing because he has been to busy hustling people.  Axl says that they can find frigg without the help of his useless brothers.

At Axl’s, some angry man knocks on his door and it turns out he lost his girlfriend in a bet to Mike.  Axl points out that Mike is bringing danger into his house and Zeb points out that he used a woman in a bet he knew he couldn’t lose. I really like that Zeb pointed this out to him because it wasn’t that long ago that Mike was critical of Anders for using his powers to take advantage of women.  Zeb tells him that as God of the Frigg hunt that he is off the team because every time they look for Frigg, they always end up in a bar. Mike says that he needs a scent, a starting point

At Anders office, Dawn answers the phone, and it is Anders saying that he is at the airport and that he needs her to feed his fish.  It turns out that Anders is headed to Norway.  Anders asks her to tell Ty that he won’t be at his house warming party and when Dawn refuses, he points out that she has been stalking him.  Anders asks her to stay at his apartment and then hangs up claiming that the plane is about to board. Would it really kill Anders to treat Dawn like she is a person of note considering how dependent is upon her?

Eva and Colin are bickering about the ownership of the house.  Colin asks that Ty knock her up so that the hormones will calm her down.  I get that Loki is an ass but really, did he have to use sexism?  It is however a switch to suggest that pregnancy hormones would level someone out, rather than make them go insane as it were. When Colin hands over the paperwork, Eva looks it over and Colin asks if she trusts him.
