* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We don't get confirmation on what happened to the Young's ''real'' child, but God claims that "it would be nice to think" that the nuns had him discreetly adopted where he grew up to be a prize-winning fish breeder uninvolved in anything supernatural.[[note]]In the book, this is later addressed with the reveal that Baby B ended up the leader of a rival gang of Adam's, but said rival gang [[AdaptedOut is not in the series.]][[/note]]

In the present day, Crowley is charged with delivering the newborn Antichrist to a nunnery in England, so the son of Satan can be raised by a human family and fulfill his destiny to bring about the end of the world. Crowley and Aziraphale, who would rather prefer that the world ''not'' end any time soon, make a bid to intervene in the upbringing of the Antichrist and make it so the child ''won't'' fulfill his destiny. Eleven years pass, Armageddon approaches, and everything appears to be going according to plan, except for one tiny thing. Something minor...

* BaitAndSwitch: During God's introductory monologue, She clarifies that the Earth is a Libra. While this may seem like a meaningless joke, She then directs the audience to a horoscope for Libra, whose predictions are all applicable to the Earth itself in the following 6,000 years, bar one note about salad upsetting your stomach.

* LoopholeAbuse: Crowley manages to convince Aziraphale to help him thwart the end of the world by arguing that while Aziraphale cannot go against the divine plan, he is obligated to thwart whatever evil any demon (including him) is up to, so if Crowley where to try and corrupt Warlock, Aziraphale has to step in and prevent it.
