The Almighty Johnsons Season 3 Episodes
Season 3 Episode Guide
13 Episodes 2013 - 2013
Episode 1
An Orchard of Trees
45 mins
Much as Axl and Gaia try to overcome Idun's shanghai by announcing their engagement, the oracles press the reality of their inability to truly be together anymore. Michele begins to chafe at living in Mike's manly apartment, Ty (with Anders' help) tries too hard to reconnect with Dawn (triggering an unpleasant memory instead), and the flatmates have a tree growing in their living room to explain in their coming flat inspection.
Episode 2
This Thing Inside
45 mins
The morning after the night before, and Gaia is doing the walk of shame, returning to the flat from her tryst with Anders. Axl is waiting, along with the ruins of the apple tree, and Gaia has the opportunity to tell the truth; to confess her sins.
Episode 3
Bergerbar
43 mins
With Axl's relentless depression over losing Gaia (and being the first ever to fail builders school, too), Mike calls for a Bergerbar, a gathering of brothers to strengthen bonds through eating and drinking together. Though Loki has, by this time, burned down Ty's house (for the nerve of putting it on the market) - leaving both Ty and Ingrid homeless - Ty looks forward to building a future uncluttered by the past (till he comes across a new development with Dawn). Anders, in dealing with a desperate situation, discovers a hitherto unknown range in his godly power.
Episode 4
Like the Berserkers of Old
43 mins
After Stacey's successful infiltration, it's time the gods sort out the murderous fundamentalist Christians threatening them - Bragi-style, not Loki-style. All save one are successfully defused, putting at least one god or goddess in danger. Alone, Axl meets a new female friend, but time with her at the beach produces curious phenomena. Anders receives a lucrative offer from a mysterious but dangerously untrustworthy source. The bar renovation forces Michele and Mike to move in with her mother.
Episode 5
Unleash the Kraken!
45 mins
Just as the deadbeat father of the Johnson brothers wanders back across their lives (with Michele's mother keen to make a party of it), a former flatmate veers back under Zeb and Axl's roof. Zeb accepts her with open arms, but Axl knows what a psycho she really is, merely using Zeb to get back into Axl's life. Meanwhile, the party falls under the father's influence, whose god ability to "calm the waters" always follows with an aftermath of chaos in its wake.
Episode 6
And Then on to Norsewood
44 mins
Axl's father-son road trip goes from exciting to alone and stranded, somewhat saved by a stalker. Zeb, bereft of paying roommates, fears sexual advances from Ingrid and homelessness from landlords demanding rent. A glib ad lib from Anders leaves at least one fundamentalist Christian ready to worship at Michele's feet, but due to Michele's healing power, Ingrid sees a way of accruing cash. Colin, meanwhile, moves forward on his mayoral campaign trail, firing volunteer helpers for this reason or that till finding true help in Dawn. Olaf sees an addiction danger in Mike overusing his godly gift for profit.
Episode 7
Typical Auckland God
44 mins
Penniless, abandoned and without his cell phone, Axl awakens in mysterious surroundings (and a woman's bed) yet in a familiar town. He winds up both in a happy relationship with a goddess (Frigg, maybe) and in a land dispute between homosexual-hating Thor and a fairly young neighboring gay couple. Ty, meanwhile, switches routes with a fellow courier (female) for each to avoid unsavory clients (in Ty's case, Ander's office - the functioning hub of Colin's political campaign). Uninvited guests crush his first attempt to date her, which also becomes a catalyst for a reversion of sorts (and a return of memory for Dawn).
Episode 8
The Asparagus Is Kicking In
44 mins
With global warming raising ocean levels under polluted skies, Ragnarok (the end of the world) approaches. Zeb prepares. Meanwhile, with the return of Hod, Anders finds himself situated between fire and ice over Colin's aim to nail Dawn (newly single due to a sexy new dress) after a political reception.
Episode 9
Mike in the Mirror
45 mins
Zeb's latest idea for finding Frigg: hold auditions for a fake beer commercial. Although failing the desired goal, it, through injury, unlocks a hidden Odin power. Michele's recent contentment makes Mike suspicious, but it's Anders who discovers Michele's and Ingrid's money-making scheme, and wants in. Dawn, with Hod's return and having seen him handling Colin, approaches Ty (with memories returning) to ask a troubling question - were he and she once lovers? The mysterious stalker nudges them towards finding freedom through honesty.
Episode 10
Playing God
45 mins
Focus falls on Yggdrasil, the stick from the tree of life. Having cured a man's terminal cancer, Anders makes a business proposal with Michele for high-priced miracle cures. Axl wants Ingrid to use the stick to find Frigg and fulfill his destiny, but Mike, believing Michele has seriously misused the stick, runs afoul of Axl's plan. As activities surrounding the stick threaten Mike's and Michele's relationship, Dawn's and Ty's strengthens; but, knowing bad things come to mortals in god/mortal relationships, Ty fears his protective "clinginess" may eventually drive her away. Olaf tries to intercede on Ty's behalf but only makes it worse by getting her high.
Episode 11
A Bit Like Buses Really
45 mins
Mike and Axl become competitors in finding Frigg. Though Mike, as god of all games, should assuredly win, he has two formidable obstacles: Firstly, Michele wants revenge for not being together with him anymore, destroying his belongings and seeking revenge sex with his brother. Secondly, there's Martin, a.k.a. Heimdall, an all-seeing god and traveler between realms who is, most importantly, the protective brother of Frigg.
Episode 12
Late to the Point of Knowledge
44 mins
Having found Frigg, gods and goddesses await her choice of Odin - Mike or Axl. Always first in games, Mike finagles his way into dinner and bed with her. Axl, unaware of Mike's activities, arrives later to take Frigg on a fun first date of his own. Handmaiden Stacey, momentarily dismissed from Frigg's service, returns to salvage her business, put in crisis by Olaf's more than inept mishandling. As gods and goddesses gather for an emergency heads-up on the crucial ceremony that must take place at Odin's and Frigga's union, Michele, having seen the Mike/Hanna dalliance for herself, puts in motion her next anti-Mike strike.
Episode 13
The End of the World as We Know It
45 mins
Cometh the dawn, the wedding ceremony of Frigg and Odin. The mortal shells of the Norse gods and goddess have one last night to enjoy their powers and celebrate their co-existences, knowing their living memory among mortals will vanish and one of the mortal shells will die. Ty and Dawn, however, devise a way to keep their love alive, just as ex-Odin Axl devises a way to rekindle a friendship.
