Wednesday politely robs a bank, and Shadow makes it snow.

He gently but insistently informs her that she has died, and she must come with him.
Jacquel reassures her that her family will miss her and her son will name his first daughter after her.
A bulls middle name?
A bulls middle name, he replies, cracking a smile.
(Which is why it makes sense that hes the guy patiently recording these tales.)
I was using that, she protests.
the Egyptian realm of the dead.
And with that, she steps through the door, and shes gone.
Meanwhile, back in Chicago, Shadow is ascending a fire escape of his own.
If it escapes, the world will end so, no pressure.
Together, they form an eclectic stargazing trio with very funky sleep schedules.
(Side note: By this point in the recap, my spellcheck is having a meltdown.
So many Zoryas!)
Dont lose this, she tells him.
Dont give it away.
Youve been given protection once.
You had the sun itself.
I can give you the moon.
Its the daughter, not the father.
And with that, he suddenly wakes up, back inside the Zoryas apartment.
To his surprise, theres no fire escape outside the window but thereisa silver dollar in his pocket.
While Wednesday flirts shamelessly with Zorya Vechernayaya, Shadow decides to challenge Czernobog to a second game of checkers.
If Czernobog wins again, he gets two swings to kill Shadow.
Amazingly, Shadowdoeswin, and Czernobog begrudgingly agrees to accompany Wednesday to Wisconsin.
Onlythendoes he get to kill Shadow with his hammer.
We still have no idea!
But at least were getting somewhere.
At first, Salim is afraid, but slowly, he begins to ask the Jinn about his life.
They know nothing about my people here, the Jinn says.
They think all we do is grant wishes.
If I could grant a wish, do you think I would be driving a cab?
Besides, he says, thats Shadows job, isnt it?
Youre my bodyguard, Wednesday says.
That means you guard my body.
Is that not right?
Not when youre robbing a bank, Shadow replies.
At the moment, my body is going to the bank, Wednesday says.
Its not robbing it.
Like,a lotof snow.
The next time he looks out the window, hes shocked to see that theres actually a storm brewing.
As Shadow tries to process the mounting snow outside, Wednesday sets up his bank robbery.
And really, as bank robberies go, this ones pretty darn polite.
Even an inquisitive police officer is quickly dispatched with a phone call to A1 Security Services a.k.a.
Shadow, answering a nearby payphone.
If only all bank robbers were as genial and kind as Wednesday while theyre stealing all your money.
He starts rifling through his pockets, finally realizing that hes missing something: his luck.
The only problem is that when he unearths the coffin, theres no coin… and no Laura either.
Or is that ex-husband?
Til death do us part, and all that…
