Morrgan decides to come down to earth just to prove to Maeve that she too knows how to have fun. They go to a party on earth and at that party Morrgan is totally not having  fun and is getting harassed by humans. She wants to leave and maeve doesn’t want her to go. She begs her to stay a little longer so she does. While trying to get to know a humans more she meets a guy named Noah that says he no longer believes in god and that he’s an atheist. Saying that gods are just myth and never even existed. They were just average people that people put on a pedestal. She presses him more about this and finds out that everyone thinks like this. He says we live in a generation where something like faith is barbaric and no longer needed. She figures this is why they are losing their powers. The current generation sees them as useless and only relics of the past. While trying to get more information out of him his crazy intoxicated girlfriend Angela come and starts talking smack to Morrgan calling her names and saying she’s trying to take her boyfriend. Morrgan tries to explain that they were just talking and Angela takes that offensively or as “just talking”. As the argument get more and more heated the partygoers begin to gather around and chant “fight. fight”. While Morrgan doesn’t want to fight the Angela feels like things have escalated and she can’t be the weaker person. She swings first, hits Morrgan, and passes out. Morrgan finds Maeve cheering Morrgan on while Maeve is in her intoxicated state and takes this chance to leave the party. While Morrgan is trying to explain the reason behind the loss of their powers Maeve gets upset at the level of disrespect humans have towards gods that she decides to cause a new plague to go around. In the first few days of this plague people are confused that there isn’t already a cure for this and seek medical attention. It turns out to be a simple curable pathogen that took scientist less than a week to find the cure for. They then try to cause a famine but that gets stopped because the gods tried to make the soil less rich but humans made new fertilizer that didn’t need the soil to thrive. They then try to poison the water and the humans are able to find the poison and filter the water.
