The two exchange more stories – 18th-century Sweeney says he interacted with the King, and Essie tells him one about how anyone can be anything they want in America – before she tells him to consider shipping off to that promised land. This time, Essie does remember to leave a little bread. He strikes a conversation with her, regaling her with a story, asking how she came to be, and pitying about the world’s lack of options.
It’s at our most desperate hours that we ask for help, and the leprechaun answers Essie’s call.Įmily Browning as Essie McGowan in a still from American Gods This time, there’s no ship for her, but straight to the gallows. Her offences are compounded she’s charged with theft on top of the charge of returning from transportation. So, on her next shoplifting forage, Essie’s luck runs out as she’s spotted by a man. Leprechauns are associated with luck, as the tale goes and as the show itself has abundantly made clear. Over time, Essie becomes an expert shoplifter, but her newfound riches (and a new man) mean she forgets to count her blessings: there’s no milk by the window anymore. Ibis narrates, she accepted the lifestyle readily. After her husband leaves for the next trip to New England, she packs the household’s finest silverware and ornaments in a pillow-case, and leaves after putting a saucer of milk by the window. The two return to England, marry, and start a new life together.Įssie, though, has other plans. On the ship away, Essie manages to catch the eye of the captain, who takes her out of the cellar and takes her as his own. Ibis’ (Demore Barnes) narration had foretold, Essie is sentenced to ‘transportation’ for seven years by a judge, which referred to being deported to America, and sold to a plantation owner who would get his money’s worth out of you by the fruits of your labour. Meanwhile, back in 18th-century England, Essie is accused of stealing the necklace which was actually given to her by the master’s son who fell in love with her, but the boy was then too ashamed to admit so in front of his mother.

Now without a vehicle, Laura walks up to an ice-cream truck and sweetly tells the driver that they are going to steal it. She then tells Salim that it’s the House on the Rock in Wisconsin, at which point Salim abuses Sweeney and then promptly goes on his way.
During a prayer stop – Salim is a devout Muslim, and prays five times a day – Laura gets the location for Wednesday’s meeting out of Sweeney.Įmily Browning as Laura Moon in a still from American Gods The episode intercuts to where we left off with Laura, Mad Sweeney, and Salim, with the three now making their way to Shadow’s location. She would leave milk by the window sill every night, and a piece of bread during the time of harvest, to receive their blessings.Įssie's adult self is cheekily played by Emily Browning, who also plays Shadow's 'late' wife Laura, the character who doesn’t believe in anything and has a highly contentious relationship with the leprechaun in our timeline. As a young girl, she fully embraced the stories and continued to live them out even as an adult, working as a maid in a household. One such believer was Essie McGowan, who first heard tales of the leprechaun from her grandmother in England. The leprechaun, like other of his kind, arrived in the new lands through stories, with the help of his believers. Others like Czernobog whittle out their remaining days in America, cursing and rubbing their nose at the new ways of life. That’s why some like Vulcan gave in to the brand remake offered by the New Gods, since the days of metalworking had given way for the manufacture of firearms. Wednesday once said earlier in the season. If their stories aren’t told, they are forgotten and gone the way of the legend, something they fear the most, as Mr. Note: spoilers below for the seventh episode of American Gods.Īs we’ve been told multiple times, the Gods live and breathe in our memories, and with the time we devote to them. Instead of the standard vignette devoted for these ‘Coming to America’ stories, the episode was entirely devoted to his journey across the Atlantic. But that’s exactly what we got with the penultimate episode, “A Prayer for Mad Sweeney”, which as the title suggests was all about our tall leprechaun.

You’d think that for a series heading into its first season finale next week, American Gods would be too busy laying down its main threads to have time for a lengthy sideshow.
