We didn’t know who saved him before, but it’s quite obvious now.Īs she sees Shadow, he’s surrounded in light. The first place she reaches after her escape from her grave is Shadow being beaten and lynched by the faceless men of Technical Boy. She’s still very much dead, but able to move, talk, think. That lucky coin of Sweeney’s has given her a second chance.Īfter she crawls out of her grave, she begins walking. Then she’s pulled away and out of the desert, leaving Anubis to look around, wondering where she went. You will go into the darkness and I will forget even having met you.” Who are you to misguide me from my duty? You are but a man, not even one I should remember. How many do you think have come before you? All with promises and threats and offers of glory, gold, love. Laura tells him there’s no way she’s going in there, and Anubis lets her know that he’s not lost a soul yet.
In the desert, is a hot tub just like her own and a bottle of Git Gone bug spray. Definitely not light as a feather.”Īnubis tells her that since she believed in nothing, she will go into nothing. When she sits besides Anubis in the desert, and he attempts to weigh her heart, she slaps his hand away. Since she’s dead, Anubis comes along to collect her… To ease his sadness, she offers a goodbye blow job, which is what ends up killing them when her elbow accidentally shifts the gears and they run head on into another car. When Shadow’s return is days away, she tries to break it off with Robbie as they’re driving down the road. She has an affair with Robbie with Robbie that will eventually lead to her death. The only thing Shadow asks is that she wait for him.
Instead of letting her take the fall, too, he says it was all him so she can stay out of prison. Unfortunately, it doesn’t go as planned and Shadow ends up getting caught. Since she knows the casino so well, she thinks it will go off without a problem… She loves Shadow, or so she says, but she’s bored in their marriage and with their life. During their love scenes, she seems lost in thoughts or staring at the hot tub.Īfter they’re married, she comes to him with the proposition he made her that first night in the parking lot. Her nickname for him, “puppy”, is condescending, but he sticks with her. It’s very obvious throughout their relationship that Shadow cares more about Laura than she does for him. This is the beginning of their relationship, and Laura lets him know that she likes things rough from the get-go by slapping him as they start to have sex. She declines, but they go to her home together. He asks her if she wants to rob the casino with him since she probably knows everything about it. He follows her advice for the most part but sticks around to meet her outside. He’ll get caught if he stays because he’s not as slick as he thinks he is. He’s trying to hustle her, but she catches him pretty quickly and tells him that he needs to finish his drink and leave. Her life changes the night Shadow comes into the casino.
The bug spray comes back into play over the episode, so it seems like death to me. I don’t know if she was attempting suicide or getting a high. When she can’t take it anymore, she pushes the lid up, and gasps for breath. She takes the bottle of spray and gets into the hot tub, closes the lid, and sprays the poison into the air. One evening, she kills a fly with some bug spray, “Git Gone”, and she looks out to her hot tub. Laura goes home in the evenings to her cat, Dummy, and sits on the couch. She hates it, and her life is monotonous. Her favorite part was shuffling the cards, but a device comes along that shuffles the cards for them and cuts the time down, so she’s regulated to dealing. We find out that Laura worked at a casino, dealing blackjack. We understand she has issues, and we still don’t know where/when they started, but she makes no excuses for her flawed nature. This backstory provides us with the ability to connect with Laura in a way we haven’t done before. Who she was, how she met Shadow, her struggles with addiction and depression, her part in Shadow’s incarceration, her affair, and ultimately her death. Here’s our recap of “Git Gone” and a preview of next week’s episode, “Lemon Scented You”!Ĭourtesy of STARZ/Sony Pictures Television Inc. American Gods focused solely on Laura Moon this week! She hasn’t always made the best choices, but she’s cheating death and back on Earth to find Shadow.
