Episode 3 of Good Omens season 2 titled ‘Chapter 3: I Know Where I’m Going’ featuring the minisode ‘The Resurrectionists’** begins with a regular remarking that her coffee is bad whenever Nina is in a fight with Lindsay. They notice Muriel dressed up in an all-white police uniform, heading to the Fell Bookshop.
Muriel announces that she is a human police sent to keep an eye on Aziraphale. Crowley grumbles about the angel taking his car to Edinburgh. The duo is amused as they mess around with Muriel, who keeps trying to pretend that she is a 200-year-old human named Inspector Constable. They promise to tell her everything Aziraphale does, and she falls for it.
Alone together, they deduce that she has been sent to verify the ‘love miracle’. They tell her that humans take time to fall in love and even send her to do some reconnaissance with poor Muriel, point-blank asking a confused Nina about her love life. As for Crowley, he needs to run the bookshop but not sell any books, look after Gabriel, and worry about Aziraphale ruining his car as he heads to The Resurrectionist pub.
In a flashback, we see the duo in Edinburgh, surprised by an eerily accurate statue of Gabriel at a graveyard. They spot Elspeth digging up bodies to pay for food. Aziraphale is scandalized, and Crowley helps her. The angel goes on and on about the wrongs of stealing bodies, and Elspeth’s friend Morag agrees. But both Elspeth and Crowley point out that being paid for the body, which can then be used for food and shelter, trumps righteousness.
In the present, Aziraphale is having a grand time with the Bentley he has completely changed. Classical music plays on the radio, he’s going below the speed limit, honking at other cars, and has turned the car yellow. Crowley feels the changes and his voice comes through the radio as he threatens Aziraphale to step on the pedal, otherwise he will start selling books.
Beelzebub is having an existential crisis as she wonders what it feels like to be appreciated for doing a good job. Gabriel is fascinated by gravity and keeps hounding Crowley with questions. They notice a fly and he points out how flies are an exception to gravity. Crowley could care less; he's more interested in Operation Lovebirds and how to get Nina and Maggie to fall in love.
In Victorian Edinburgh, Aziraphale disapproves of Elspeth’s cadaver hunting and sabotages it. They show up at Mr. Darlymple’s establishment with the body that has turned into soup courtesy of Aziraphale’s miracle. Elspeth storms out while Aziraphale decides to learn a little bit more about the graverobbing to stop it at its root.
Darlymple underscores the profound impact studying corpses can have on enhancing life-saving techniques, evoking a poignant memory of a young boy with cancer whom he couldn't save. This deeply affects the angel, prompting him to reevaluate his stance. He returns to Elspeth, announcing a change in his decision and granting her full permission. Morag, though apprehensive, agrees to assist them in excavating a new body.
The endeavor takes a disastrous turn when Morag's fear of a deceased body leads to her fatal shooting by a trap set by wealthy individuals to deter grave-robbing. The duo is taken aback by Elspeth's callous handling of Morag's remains, delivering them to Darlymple who underpays her. Enraged, she steals laudanum and decides to end her life and join Morag. As Aziraphale attempts to reason with her, Crowley simply consumes the laudanum.
His behavior spirals out of control, with him shrinking and expanding like a giant. Initially perplexed, Aziraphale realizes Crowley's intent—to scare her into submission. The giant demon proclaims suicide a sin and demands that Aziraphale donate all his wealth to Elspeth for good deeds. She promises to live a virtuous life and departs, now a wealthy woman. Aziraphale is impressed by Crowley's quick thinking, which he chalks up to the laudanum's influence. The angel also harbors concerns that it might have alerted Hell. Before Crowley can quell his fears, he's whisked away to Hell for his punishment.
In the present day, Aziraphale visits a pub that pays homage to Darlymple. He enquires from the bartender who recognizes Gabriel's likeness and reveals that the archangel frequented the pub with another acquaintance. He heads to the graveyard and borrows a phone from two intimidating individuals.
He calls Crowley to update him on his latest findings, although Aziraphale doesn't have any new information. Crowley abruptly cuts the call upon spotting Maggie and Nina together. While Maggie confronts Nina for giving her the cold shoulder, Crowley calls forth rain. The girls take shelter under a makeshift roof with Nina apologizing for misinterpreting her actions as an affair with Maggie. Nina offhandedly comments that she's probably not Maggie's type, but Maggie counters that she is. As they lock eyes, Crowley cheers from the shop. However, at that moment, the makeshift roof collapses, drenching them in rain. Shocked and annoyed, Nina storms off with Maggie rushing to catch up with her.
The fleeting moment is lost, and Crowley informs Gabriel that his tempest failed. This triggers Gabriel, who relates a grim prophecy about a tempest and the dead rising. When the trance breaks, Gabriel has no recollection of what he said.
Meanwhile, Shax pays Crowley a visit, announcing that Hell is on the brink of declaring war on Aziraphale as they've discerned that he might be hiding Gabriel in his bookshop. Crowley brushes it off and rudely shuts the door on her. However, he's genuinely worried about Aziraphale and tries to intimidate Gabriel but realizes it's futile as the archangel has no idea what's happening.
