A nice episode, very emotional indeed, but it felt a bit long at some point. Useful to bridge some story holes (for example, we learn that Mad Sweeney provoked Laura's car accident in the first place) and to give more screen time to Ibis and Anubis.

The other emotional part for me was him shouting in Old Irish that he's not evil. Damn Wednesday making him do this evil thing. But I'm Irish, I'm a sucker for leprechauns.
Damn! You translated the shouting part or you understood it??? I don't remember it in the book, was it there?
It's pretty close to "Haven't I believed enough in your bullshit? Haven't I suffered enough? Isn't that enough itself? I'm not evil! I'm not!" with some wiggle room given for various dialectics, or "Why does this bullshit keep happening to me?" However I more inclined to think the former, and he's cursing specifically at Wednesday.
That's fascinating. Then, Leprechauns are not as much Celtic folk characters than Viking/Nordic lost souls gone rogue on irish land! :) That fits perfectly
