#I have some issues with this minisode but thought this scene was excellent

[ineffectualbookseller]

The way Crowley shuts down while Furfur is telling him his existence on earth is over. He's seen the picture. He's panicking. Frozen but trying to keep up his mask of cool boredom.

We've seen Crowley talk his way out of so much. His cleverness and (often feigned) calmness under pressure are some of his most important tools, but this moment of being found out (post Edinburgh, pre themos) is so terrifying for him and he can't do anything.

And I don't think he would ask for holy water after this night with Aziraphale being so open and joyous; if this really was their end he couldn't bare the thought that he'd react badly again and leave them ending on bad terms. (Ironic considering Aziraphale would have done anything for Crowley that night)

Then this look when Furfur and the zombies are gone, bringing down some of his deffenses once it's just him and Aziraphale.

The relief he must have felt when Aziraphale pulled the picture out of his sleeve. When he realized Aziraphale saved him.
