'American Gods' season 2, episode 1 preview: Wednesday is ready for war, but what about the other Old Gods?
The first season of 'American Gods' concluded after a showdown at Easter's (Ostara - the old god of Spring) party where Wednesday proclaimed to be Odin, in the presence of New Gods Media, Technical Boy, and Mr. World. He also destroys the New Gods' lackeys with a thunderbolt forcing Shadow Moon to accept that he now believes in Gods. Wednesday also convinces Easter to use her powers and take back spring, resulting in drought across America. Meanwhile, Laura - Shadow Moon's dead wife finds out that she cannot be resurrected because she was killed by a God. She gets Mad Sweeney to confess that it was Wednesday.
Wednesday had made an elaborate plan, which included sending Shadow Moon to prison to isolate him from his family and friends. He followed this up with planning Laura and Shadow's friend Robbie's death to further his ambitions. Shadow Moon, at the end of the season, does meet Laura, but he is unaware about how Wednesday has manipulated his life.
