This week’s episodes opens with a nice old lady gazing at the stars.
53101
This tranquil moment, however is short lived.
53106
My guess is that something mythic is afoot.
53111
Olaf appears to agree.
53091
So, the Johnson boys head out to granny’s funeral just in case her passing was a harbinger of the Frigg.
53116
Looks like the boys aren’t the only ones to think that there’s more than death at this funeral.
53121
Meanwhile Dawn has the unenviable task of holding down the fort at Anders’ place.
53126
Lucky for her, Ty is more than willing to lend a hand.
53131
Back at the post-funeral festivities, the gang all gets some vibes off of this bloke.
53136
And a big guy with a hammer can only mean one thing: Thor. This might seem like exciting news, but incarnations of Thor have a tendency to be a bit unstable.
53141
Having been found out, the god and goddesses make their introductions to the big guy with the hammer.
53146
Who, upon hearing the name of his Lord Odin, takes immediately to his knees.
53151
Doubting Axl’s claim, Thor, naturally, challenges “Odin” to a hammer-hurling contest.
53156
He is proud to have downed a rabbit in the process.
53161
Reluctantly, and unsure of his abilities, Axl joins in.
53166
Turns out he had nothing to worry about, and Thor is glad to have been put to shame for doubting the word of the All Father.
53171
Satisfied with Axl’s claim to dominion over the hosts of Asgard, Thor proudly proclaims his daughter to be the goddess Frigg. Yes, we all see that she’s a bit underwhelming- goddess status aside.
53176
As it turns out her goddess status is inconclusive, as she is born of a mortal woman, and is therefore, according to prophecy, assuredly not the host to the goddess Frigg, she is pregnant by a mortal man –she hopes that Axl will claim the child- and, to add insult to injury she just doesn’t find Axl all that attractive. Suffice it to say, Thor will not be pleased by any of this.
53181
Back at the hotel, with nothing better to do, Ingrid proposes a gathering of the Oracles over a bottle of Vodka.
53186
Olaf sees her Vodka and hot tub invitation and raises the stakes with a joint.
53191
This eventually leads to the entire Johnson-Goddess party being evicted from their hotel.
53196
Meanwhile, in Auckland, Ty sourly presents tickets to a Sound of Music sing-a-long and peevishly complains to Mike that he is constantly friend-zoned and perhaps mistaken as a homosexual – the horror! #sarcasm
53201
Turns out his concerns weren’t entirely unwarranted as Anders had told Dawn that Ty is indeed gay and had encouraged her to gift him the sing-a-long tickets.
53206
Oh well, all’s well that ends well.
53211
Spoke too soon, it hasn’t ended yet!
53216
While everyone has been gallivanting naked and snogging, Axl is stuck at Thor’s table faced with the task of rejecting his beloved daughter, and the being that he believes is the key to unlocking his full godly power.
53221
As expected, Thor doesn’t handle the news very well.
53226
And the cavalry, Anders, isn’t much help in the matter!
53231
Can’t say he didn’t have this coming his, karmically speaking and all.
53236
Just as everything looks like it’s going to go the way of a Syfy Original movie, Axl man’s up, wields Thor’s hammer and commands the rogue god to stand down…and be a loving and supportive father to his daughter and grandfather to her unborn child. Oh, and to never cause trouble because the brothers Johnson will be back to check on him!
53241
The episode ends on a tender note as Ty is revealed to have slept separately from dawn to avoid chilling her with his icy aura.
