In this episode, Shawn and David continue their series on "The Saga of the Volsungs", starting with the god, Odin. Odin's murderous son, Sigi, Sigi's son Rerir, then Rerir's son, Volsung. Volsung didn't have the easiest birth, as he grew for at least 6 years in his mother's womb.

The pair further discuss the idea that Odin siring a human son and playing a part in weaving the fates of his family line, and how this may fit Shawn's thought that gods may simply be bored and looking to interfere in the affairs of mortals for their entertainment.
