Come to Jesus

After a quick stop at Mr. Nancy’s tailor shop for some fancy new threads, Shadow and Wednesday are off to a fancy party being thrown by Easter, once known as Ostara, goddess of the spring. It’s her day, after all, and the party is filled with lots of bunny rabbits hopping about, jelly beans, all manner of sweets. But Wednesday is here to talk business – namely to swing her to fight with the Old Gods, despite that she’s doing just fine thanks to every Christian in America who celebrates the death and resurrection of Jesus. In fact, there are quite a few Jesuses (Jesi?) walking about here today – Caucasian Jesus, African Jesus, Asian Jesus, even an infant Jesus nursing from Mary.

As Wednesday has a private chat with Ostara, Shadow has something of a heart-to-heart with a Jesus who’s sitting on the top of Ostara’s pool, but things get awkward, however, when a certain ice cream truck pulls up, with Laura and Mad Sweeney looking for Ostara’s help with a resurrection, as a dead woman tends to clash with the party’s theme. It’s not much later when who should show up but Media – this time doing her best Judy Garland – looking to woo Ostara’s support.

Tropes

• Self-Duplication: The Children (the New Gods’ Faceless Mooks) can duplicate to increase their numbers.
• Skeptic No Longer: Even after an entire season of following Wednesday and seeing impossible things, including his own wife rising from the dead, Shadow confesses to one of the Jesuses at the party that he’s finding it difficult to “believe”. But seeing Wednesday and Ostara’s incredible displays of power in front of the New Gods finally changes all that.

  Wednesday: What do you believe, Shadow?
  Shadow: …Everything.

• Stepford Smiler: Ostara puts on a happy face to conceal the fact that she’s pissed at Christians for hijacking what should be her celebration. Notably, she refuses to be mad at Jesus himself, and comforts one of them when they try to apologize for it.
• The Stinger: Bilquis, supposedly now working on Technical Boy’s behalf, takes a man back to the bus bathroom as the bus passes a sign announcing “This Way to House on the Rock.”
• This Means War!: After Wednesday summons lightning to sacrifice the Children threatening Ostara (and dedicating the deaths to her, to give her some real power after being starved of it), Mr. World speaks through one of the dying Children to tell him that Wednesday’s getting his wish – he shall have war between the Old and New Gods – but it will be the one Wednesday will die in.
• Walk on Water: One of the Jesuses at the Easter party is sitting on the pool, and then apparently forgets this as he puts his drink down, watches it sink, and mutters, “God dammit.”
• We Used to Be Friends: Turns out Ostara had adapted into the role of Easter with the aid of Media. That friendship is now shattered after she aligns with Wednesday.
