The Hitchhiker is the fourth episode of Season 2 of the Prime Video original series Good Omens series, and tenth overall. It premiered on July 28, 2023.
In the present day, Aziraphale drives back from Edinburgh in Crowley’s Bentley. Along the way, he continually passes a hitchhiker in the mist. That is until the hitchhiker then appears in front of the car. Aziraphale is forced to stop. The hitchhiker then quickly steps inside; who is none other than Shax, the demon. She tells Aziraphale that she is taking over Crowley’s job, and she wants to know where Gabriel is. Shax assumes that Crowley has Gabriel. Aziraphale denies any knowledge of this Gabriel fella, but eventually, he lets the truth slip.
Back in 1941 London, a bomb lands on a church, killing three Nazis, who are subsequently sent to Hell. The Nazis are registered by the demon Furfur. They plead their innocence, mentioning the demon Crowley, who they blame for their deaths in the first place. Furfur is intrigued to hear that the demon Crowley is potentially conspiring with an angel. Thus, Furfur grants the three Nazis a temporary license to return to Earth as zombies for 24 hours to gather proof of this collaboration. If they can prove Crowley and Aziraphale are working together, then they will be granted freedom from damnation. To help them against these powerful entities, Furfur hands them a miracle blocker, which will stop Crowley or Aziraphale from using their powers for a limited period of time. To avoid eternal torture, the Nazis agreed to their terms and sign the paperwork.
The zombies rise from the dead and feast on their first victim. Then they stalk Aziraphale and Crowley through a war-torn London. Aziraphale has somehow volunteered to perform on the West End as a magician. With Crowley’s help, he prepares for his performance. The duo heads into a magic shop for inspiration. Aziraphale is looking for a showstopper and comes across the bullet catch trick. The shop owner discourages Aziraphale from purchasing the trick, but the angel has made up his mind; he pays over the odds for the items. After they’ve left the store, the Nazis kill and dismember the shop owner.
At the West End, Aziraphale nervously takes to the stage. The Nazis watch from the stalls, where they are joined by Furfur. He has been summoned to gather evidence of Aziraphale and Crowley’s collaboration. Furfur initiates the miracle blocker, meaning Aziraphale’s first magic trick fails spectacularly. Aziraphale is heckled and then booed for his terrible performance. He swiftly moves onto the bullet catch trick. The angel picks a volunteer at random, choosing Crowley out of the crowd. Together they perform the trick, even though they are aware that their powers aren’t working. The trick is a success, Crowley fires and misses Aziraphale’s head. They celebrate afterward in their dressing room. Furfur confronts them, showing Crowley the evidence that he’s just snapped the two together. Crowley denies the allegations, saying it is just a coincidence.
Furfur isn’t bothered; he states that this will be their last night on Earth. He grants the Nazis their freedom, although they will remain as zombies for eternity instead. Aziraphale asks to look at the photograph and secretly swaps the picture with a flyer. This saves them from any retribution.
In the present day, Shax speaks with Beelzebub in Hell. She believes Gabriel is hiding inside Aziraphale’s bookshop. Shax wants to attack the shop with an army of the undead to kidnap Gabriel. This is Shax’s one chance to prove her worth. Beelzebub agrees with Shax’s plan so she now has permission to get Gabriel by any means necessary.

About the Bullet Catch scene in season 2 episode 4. 1 / 2. When the bullet catch scene happens, we get a view of Crowley aiming the gun from his perspective. I couldn’t help but notice that his perspective seemed a little blurry and or fish-eyed. Was this just artistic choice on Gaiman’s part?
Jul 28, 2023 · But not much happens in the present in episode 4 of Good Omens season 2. It is not necessarily a bad thing. If it was any other show, it wouldn’t have been a point of contention. But because of how well the previous 2 episodes were, we would have enjoyed the back and forth in this episode as well.
