The only information they’ll give her is a pamphlet that instructs her to: “Acknowledge reality.” Laura’s response has the virtue of being frank: “The reality I’m acknowledging is that this place sucks donkey dick.” Laura arrives in the great beyond only to discover that it’s overcrowded, confusingly organised and the staff are useless. Having beaten death once with the help of Mad Sweeney’s lucky coin, what are the chances of Laura pulling off another resurrection? Even Jesus only did it once. As it turns out, she hasn’t been reincarnated onto the Central Line, but is in fact blasting her way towards the afterlife in a shimmery box of special effects that looks a bit like Willy Wonka’s Great Glass Elevator. She reappears this week squashed inside what initially looks like one of my least missed locations from the pre-lockdown world: a ram-packed rush hour tube carriage.

We may have seen Laura Moon’s (Emily Browning) lifeless body crumble into dust back in the opening episode of this season of American Gods, but if there’s one thing we know about Laura by now it’s that she’s not going to let a little thing like her own death get her down.
