Aziraphale and Crowley play a joke, but Crowley is worried about the Bentley's speed and Aziraphale's safety. David Tennant plays Crowley's GPS, and Gabriel is a curious child. Crowley's role in babysitting Gabriel, running the shop, and Operation Lovebirds may be a good idea, but Aziraphale may not be able to help. Sherlock Fell may be onto something, and he hopes to find out before the rising dead tempest arrives. David Tennant's Scottish accent in Good Omens Season 2 Episode 3 is a fun touch. Aziraphale's 1827 lesson on poverty is a personal growth moment for the angel. Elsbeth's ninety guineas may not be enough to level the playing field for her. Officer Constable Muriel, unfamiliar with humanity, is assigned to confirm and document the miracle Aziraphale claimed to have made Nina and Maggies fall in love. The angel's optimistic and ineptitude is charming, especially considering the callous behavior of higher-up angels. Crowley and Aziraphale could teach her the world's ways. Jim/Gabriel's mug has been replaced with wings, and he has improved from wandering naked to having job readiness skills, clothing training, and hot chocolate-making skills. The angel's cute appearance and ability to learn from others make it a fun addition to the story. In the first episode of Hell, Beelzebub struggles with identity and faces confusion from an overlord who doesn't punish him. Season 2 introduces a new face, Shelley Conn, who takes over from Anna Maxwell Martin. Beelzebub's higher profile is evident as he searches for Gabriel across Heaven, Hell, and Earth. The Lord of the Flies title suggests that flies are mentioned at regular intervals throughout the series, suggesting Gabriel's memory was wiped. Elsbeth and Muriel contrast as human and angel, impoverished and privileged. Elsbeth makes choices that Aziraphale cannot understand due to her limited opportunities. Mr. Dalrymple exploits the poor, like Elsbeth, and justifies it with his belief that they are drunks. Crowley intervenes to save Elsbeth from herself, just as he intervened for Job's goats and children in Good Omens Season 2 Episode 2. The absurdist comedy of Mr. Dalrymple's journey from Lilliputian to Brobdingnagian while high on laudanum is a thrilling experience. The graveyard watchmen's reaction to the mess left at the crypt is intriguing. Elsbeth's decision to buy a farm and settle down on a ninety guineas farm seems karmic, as Mr. Dalrymple's tragic end seems karmic. The writers have established a relationship theme throughout the season, introducing new themes with each chapter while incorporating established ones.
