American Gods Season 2 Episode 2
In any good hero's journey, there's always a side-quest. You have to recover this artifact in order to defeat that demon, you have to recover this holy weapon, or that magical key, or that MacGuffin to continue on with whatever the larger journey is.
Given the solid cast of characters of American Gods, it's not surprising that characters will be given a side quest or two along the way, usually at Wednesday's behest. The gang is dispatched to a variety of places; Salim and the Jinn get sent to retrieve Odin's spear, Laura and Mad Sweeney get sent to track down Shadow, Wednesday and Nancy go for a drive, and Mama-ji gets a chance to swap shifts at the diner in order to participate in the war.
