S2.E12 - You Call This the Real World?

Axl and Gaia find "Brigadoon", a sanctuary away from the debate over competing prophecies. They work through their feelings and gradually acknowledge that they care for one another. Meanwhile, members of the Māori pantheon camp out in the bar, awaiting Gaia's return. Helen increasingly influences Anders' decisions, persuading him to let Dawn go. Olaf reveals that, through Kvasir, he has discovered that Colin has bugged the bar. Olaf has Kvasir tell Ty how he can relinquish his god abilities so as to pursue a relationship with Dawn: Ty must drink tea made from Yggdrasil bark, and must die and come back to life. Mike tracks Axl and Gaia down and brings them home, whereupon Gaia dismisses the Māori squatters until it is certain which deity she will become. Ty drinks the tea; he dies and his god spirit leaves his body, then Michele taps power from the Yggdrasil cutting to bring him back to life.

Ty tells Mike (and later Olaf) that he was present when Eva died; Mike puts two and two together and confronts Agnetha. At the Norse ceremony, Colin ignites the pyre with a flamethrower. Ty contemplates throwing himself on the pyre, as Colin had demanded, but doesn't. Colin remains intent on vengeance.

Michele continues her healing sessions, now with Anders. Mike becomes suspicious of her activities, finally getting the truth from Anders. Mike and Michele argue and break up. Ty and Dawn have resumed their relationship and moved in together. Olaf warns Ty against getting too close to a mortal, then visits Dawn and gets her stoned. While high, and provoked by Olaf's unconsidered comments, she worries about being hurt, even killed, with Ty in her life. Ty arrives and talks her down from a rope climbing tower. Meanwhile, Axl happens on the goddesses playing with the Yggdrasil cutting and learns of the powers it gives them - such as wisdom to Ingrid. He hits on the idea of Ingrid tapping its power to find Frigg. At first reluctant, she guides Axl to an aged care home: there, they find a mute man whom Ingrid introduces as Frederick Larsen, the god Hœnir, and Frigg's father. As Axl returns with Michele, hoping to cure him and find Frigg, Mike throws the Yggdrasil cutting into a woodchipper. Axl becomes enraged.

Rob admits to initially being angry at Mike for marrying his fiance, while Anders tries to convince Mike that Val is still in love with Rob. Anders brings Axl to see Eva. Sparks fly, literally, from the sound system, and Axl, too, is convinced she is Frigg.

S3.E5 - Unleash the Kraken!

Learning that Johan is not only the Johnsons' father but the vessel of Njörðr, a sea god, Karen throws a fancy dress / family reunion party. Her godly power as 'social organiser' means none of them can reject the invitation. Olaf warns Mike about speaking to Johan, whose power is that his voice calms emotions - but only temporarily, and they return worse than before after he leaves. With Ty having moved out of Axl's flat and Ingrid unable to pay rent, Zeb suggests Amelia, a former mutual schoolfriend and crush of Zeb's. Axl reluctantly agrees. She flirts with Zeb but reminds Axl of a brief sexual fling - when she was uncaring of Zeb's feelings. At the party, old wounds are reopened: Ty's attempt to rebuke Johan is deflected by his power, Olaf punches Johan for breaking his one rule (never hit a woman), and Mike and Johan argue over Mike being left in charge of the family. The brothers play backyard cricket. The game dissolves in a brawl, until Olaf breaks it up and explains that it is due to Johan, who has gone and isn't coming back. Meanwhile, Johan tells Axl he has been drawn home because of Odin, and encourages him to face up to Amelia. They leave together. At the flat, Axl tells Zeb that Amelia is a psycho and only ever used Zeb as a way to reach him. Zeb refuses to believe it and tells Axl to leave, but Amelia proves Axl right by stabbing him in the back. His Odin powers growing, Axl hardly notices. Johan takes Axl to hospital before admitting he is leaving and suggesting a road trip to Norsewood, the Johnson family homestead. As they drive off, a mysterious man watches and writes "Odin – to Norsewood" in a notebook.
