#WATCH AMERICAN GODS SEASON 1 EPISODE 7 DRIVER#
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.

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.

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.
