This episode opens with Mike on the receiving end of some heartbreaking news…
53551
Though his imagined divine explanation may be a bit off of the mark, the fact remains that Mike's paternal duties are looking limited to the management of his godly fraternity.
53556
And, to make matters more complicated, an old friend, thought to long be consigned to the life of a vegetable, starts to stir. Also, he’s muttering the same Norse chants that Olaf used in last week’s episode to herald the coming of the Allfather, Odin.
53561
Elsewhere, Axl comes to terms with the notion that the Frigg may not be rocking the body of a goddess – she could be a child, a mother, or even an old granny!
53566
Meanwhile the mysterious cohort of goddesses devise their strategy using genealogy to locate the Frigg and bring her under their sway.
53571
Anders’ plan relies less upon subtlety and calculation. He aims to throw Axl at all of the women in New Zealand and wait to see which one sticks – starting with the blondes. It could work…if Axl doesn’t mind plowing over a few hearts in the process.
53576
Unfortunately for Anders, Axl is a bit more of a gentleman than anticipated. Besides, he has his eye set on someone else, Frigg be damned!
53581
Here, Axl demonstrates the effectiveness of telling a date that the last woman you pursued punctured your sternum.
53586
Anders, however, is persistent, and befuddled by Axl’s unwillingness to play the field.
53591
All becomes clear when Axl confesses his virginity - a consequence of inopportunity more than a lack of trying. And Anders eventually convincing Axl to blow off last night’s dinner date with promises of uninterrupted sexual intercourse.
53596
Savvy viewers should not be shocked to see that dealings between gods often come with unforeseen consequences. In this case, Axl must take up the mantle of team mascot if he hopes to get the girl.
53601
…at least he doesn’t have to be the bunny.
53606
And apparently the rivalry between mascots runs deep and furious.
53616
After Anders uses his god-speak to convince Kendra that Axl’s mascot melee was fought in the name of her honor, it’s suddenly not so bad to be a dragon that got your ass beat by a bunny.
53621
…not so bad at all.
53626
Since a Norse god just can’t catch a break these days, Axl’s godly appendage somehow sent Kendra into shock – a condition that could only be reversed by a bracingly cold touch from Ty. Suffice it to say, this woman is none too happy when she comes to.
53631
In the aftermath of Axl’s first time (and what was nearly Kendra’s last!) Mike sits the young god down to share a cautionary tale about flaunting one’s godly stature.
53636
As it turns out, Mike’s comatose friend fell into his vegetative state after Mike enraged some local thugs by brazenly challenging them to a game of billiards and then rubbing their face in defeat at the hands of the freshly incarnated Uhl, god of games.
53641
To add insult to injury, Axl’s posse followed him to the Volley Ball game to cheer him on as he performed his duties as team mascot.
53646
They had hoped to laud his battle prowess as a conquering dragon, but it seems that Axl was already receiving a hero’s welcome. Doesn’t look like there will be too many dinner dates in Axl’s future, now does there?
