Summary
“Crowley.”
At this point, Crowley could barely muster surprise that the Almighty was speaking to him directly for the first time since he’d asked Her to reconsider shutting down her great experiment and She'd responded by casting him into Hell. His first reaction, rather than fear, was 'What fresh hell is this?' He fell back on his tried and true response: impertinence.
“Yah?”
“You’ve been sulking long enough.”
“I don’t think I have, actually.” It had only been six months since he’d watched Aziraphale ascend to Heaven with the Metatron. He hadn’t heard anything from him since. He’d mostly been sleeping and drinking and crying and threatening his plants.
The voice from above continued. “I need you to get up and start doing your job again. You’re upsetting the balance of the universe.”
“Who, me?”
“Yes.”
“I’m not important enough to do that.”
“I agree. Which is why it’s so annoying that you’re holding everything up.”
**
Post S2. Crowley's just minding his own business when the Almighty pops in for a chat.

Summary
TC: How else did she try to sabotage you?
TL: She tried to sic you on me.
TC: I thought she wanted a puff piece! I was furious about it when I was typing up that article. I was like, "They're trying to charm me, I'm not gonna let them charm me, oh dammit, the bit with the school children actually worked, I can't believe I'm going on the record as a Lasso fan." Everyone accused me of going soft!
TL: [laughs]
TC: I felt so strange about giving her a win, and really she wanted me to eviscerate you?
TL: That's about the size of it. And remember, you're sworn to secrecy. [pause] Let the record show that Trent is pouting like Eeyore right now.
TC: I'm keeping it for a later edition, when we're all dead.
TL: If Rebecca and her lawyers agree.
TC: You're no fun.
TL: I have it on good authority that that's not true.
TC: Whose?
TL: Everyone's.**
Trent Crimm and Ted Lasso sit down for an interview to get a bit more information for the final edits on his book. Trent gets signature biscuits, some juicy gossip, and the opportunity to share some news.

Summary
"Uh. Boss. Do you want to talk about--?"
"I don't really think that's necessary."
"Oh." He looked away, like he didn't know how to take that, and she kicked herself for being overly cryptic.
"I mean, I'm not sure if it's a good time for it. For me. Let's table it. For now."
"The discussion or the whole kissing and feelings thing?"
"Both, I suppose."
"Hm. Put a pin in it? Come back round to it later?"
"Exactly."**
Ted kisses Rebecca. She doesn't kiss back but could be persuaded. It's time to woo and be wooed. -

Summary
Once she stopped trembling, she said, "I retract the Mr. Rogers remark." He laughed, wiping his mustache.
"You know, back in Kansas City, I entered a contest once. Whoever ate the most ribs in the shortest amount of time won a cash prize, and I was a little hard up for money at the time and needed to fix up my car, so I figured I'd give it a shot."
"Did you win?"
"No ma'am. Lost very badly. Eating ribs just isn't as fun as this."**
Sassy checks in on Ted in Liverpool and learns more about him than she anticipated.

Summary
Crowley didn’t fall in love in love with Aziraphale until Rome, when they ate oysters. His first sighting of the angel was completely unremarkable, and he’d have forgotten it completely if not for the flaming sword. The sword was cool. Crowley wanted one. His first actual meeting with the angel had been very interesting, but the angel was an oddity, not much more. An extremely odd oddity, one that required watching, but not yet the most compelling thing in all of creation. He’d worked on nebulae, after all, there was still a lot to see before he could decide how much of an anomaly this guy was.
--
Crowley is curious about Aziraphale and spends 6000 years trying to figure him out.

Summary
“Uh, Chim,” he says, “why would we be kissing each other in the first place?”
“Oh, no reason,” Chimney shrugs. “That’s why I figured you’d be on board. Just don’t kiss each other for a week, which you already do. Easy money.”
spoiler: it's not easy money.

Summary
Nearly simultaneously, two thoughts had immediately crossed Aziraphale’s mind the moment their lips had touched.
First: This is mad. This is impossible. Or: this is only possible because Crowley believes that loathsome demon Ferngully (?) to have the photograph. A task he’d very nearly succeeded at, if not for Aziraphale. A task that Aziraphale had been excited to reveal, and now, in a tragic turn of events, it’s the very thing he needs to keep hidden if he wants to continue kissing Crowley.
Which leads him to his second realization: Crowley cannot, under any circumstances, discover the photograph.

Summary
Sitting on a bench beside his dearest friend after saving the world from fire and destruction should not feel commonplace but Aziraphale is starting to get used to the routine of it.
