American Gods season 3, episode 3, “Ashes and Demons.”
Bundle up, folks. The search for Alison McGovern continues in snowy Lakeside, and Shadow Moon – at first a suspect – is now a trusted ally of Lakeside’s finest, and an official search party member, armed with a disposable camera and everything. But will some light bedtime reading lead him to the deeper mystery lurking in Lakeside? He’ll have to take a closer look at that just as soon as he follows up on a message from a dream…
“Ashes and Demons,” the third episode of
