What The Last Scene Reveals About Aziraphale & Crowley’s Fates

Warning: major spoilers for Good Omens season 3.

Good Omens has come to an end with its third season, and its final scene reveals the fate of Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and Crowley (David Tennant). After its massive cliffhanger ending in season 2, Good Omens is back with its third and final season, but with a twist. Good Omens season 3 is just one 90-minute-long episode, and it reunites the audience with Aziraphale and Crowley a couple of years after the ending of season 2.

While Crowley has abandoned his role as a demon, lives in an alley, and spends his time drinking and gambling, Aziraphale has been hard at work in Heaven preparing the Second Coming. However, the plan is complicated when Jesus (Bilal Hasna) escapes from Heaven and lands on Earth, and when they find out that the Book of Life has been stolen. Even worse, the entity that has the Book of Life is destroying angels, moving on to destroying parts of the world and later the universe.

This leads Aziraphale and Crowley to team up one more time, despite not having talked about what happened the last time they spoke. Together, they find out that archangel Michael (Doon Mackichan) stole the Book of Life and has been destroying the universe to fulfill the plans of the Second Coming. At the end of Good Omens, Aziraphale and Crowley make a sacrifice for the sake of humanity, but there’s a heartwarming twist in their story.

Aziraphale and Crowley travel to the center of the universe to try to stop Michael from ending the universe by burning the pages of the Book of Life in the eternal flame. By then, Michael had already gotten rid of the Metatron (Derek Jacobi), archangel Uriel (Gloria Obianyo), Sandalphon (Paul Chahidi), Muriel (Quelin Sepulveda), and almost the entire planet Earth, moving on to destroy parts of the universe, such as Alpha Centauri.

Michael explains that they did it because they didn’t agree with Aziraphale’s changes to the Second Coming, as he wanted it to be a more positive, even “happier” event rather than the destruction of humanity. By stealing the Book of Life and burning its pages, Michael hoped to fulfill the real plan of the Second Coming. Aziraphale tells Michael that he forgives them, but this isn’t enough to stop Michael, who then burns the rest of the book.

Crowley rescues the page of Aziraphale’s bookstore, and they travel there, which is now the only remaining place in the universe, and they are the only remaining beings (somehow). At the bookshop, they are greeted by Satan himself (Toby Jones), and Crowley and Aziraphale summon God (Tanya Moodie) through a new Book of Life.

After answering some of their questions, God gives Crowley and Aziraphale a moment to talk in private, sending them to a Garden of Eden inside the bookshop. There, Aziraphale tells Crowley that all he wants is to be with him, with Crowley forgiving him, but Crowley tells him that what he wants is a world with no evil and good, and where humans can be humans. In the end, Aziraphale agrees, and together, they ask God to create a new universe with no angels, demons, Satan, and God, and just let humans be.

God reminds them that this means they won’t be together as they won’t even exist, but they maintain their decision. Aziraphale kisses his fingers and places them on Crowley’s lips as a goodbye, and so they disappear, so God can create the universe they asked for. However, Good Omens has a final twist and treat for its audience, and when it goes into this new universe, it shows the human version of Crowley entering a bookshop where the human versions of the Metatron and Aziraphale work.

There’s instant chemistry between Crowley and Aziraphale, with the Metatron encouraging Aziraphale to talk to Crowley. Aziraphale asks Crowley out for dinner, and that’s the beginning of a long-lasting relationship. The final scene of Good Omens takes a time jump of 20 years, showing an older Crowley and Aziraphale stargazing in their backyard, with Crowley wearing a wedding band, implying they got married at some point.

Are Those Really Aziraphale & Crowley At The End Of Good Omens Season 3?

The final sequence in Good Omens can be confusing, but it’s important to note that those aren’t the Aziraphale and Crowley the audience had come to know in the previous seasons. The universe of Good Omens is truly destroyed, and the final sequence of the show takes place in a completely new one – however, it seems like God still gave all the celestial beings a chance at an actual, human life.

The sequence not only shows the human versions of Aziraphale and Crowley, but also those of archangels Michael, Uriel, Muriel, Jesus, and some demons, as well as some of the humans introduced earlier in the episode. These human versions are unrelated to their pasts as angels and demons, instead simply looking exactly like the human versions of these beings.

In this new universe, Crowley is Anthony Crowley, an astrophysicist and author, and Aziraphale is Asaphale, and works at the bookshop with the human version of the Metatron (who, in this universe, is actually nice and helpful). While these aren’t the original, celestial versions of Aziraphale and Crowley, their human versions had a chance at being together, and they achieved it, with Good Omens showing that they had a long-lasting, loving relationship.

As for the rest of the angels and demons who are also shown in the final sequence of Good Omens, they were also given a chance at a human life, without the constraints of being on the side of good or evil. Instead, they simply lived their lives the way they wanted to.

Good Omens Series Finale Proves Aziraphale & Crowley Were Always Meant To Be Together

The chemistry between Aziraphale and Crowley was evident since season 1, even though the first season tried to play it more as them being long-time friends and allies. Season 2 of Good Omens went a lot deeper into the bond between Aziraphale and Crowley, mostly through flashbacks to some of the times they had worked together since the creation of the universe.

The romantic bond between them was confirmed in the season 2 finale when Crowley kissed Aziraphale and tried to convince him to stay on Earth with him, while Aziraphale tried to persuade Crowley to go to Heaven with him, where he could turn him into an angel again. Ultimately, Crowley stayed on Earth, and Aziraphale returned to Heaven.

In the end, Aziraphale and Crowley did manage to be together, although very briefly and not as they would have wanted, as they spent the final moments of their existence together in that small piece of the Garden of Eden at the bookshop, and then right before they disappeared forever. However, having their human versions find each other proves that, no matter where and how, they were always meant to be together.

Good Omens has an unexpected ending with the destruction of the universe it had been living in and the creation of a new one, but, at least, Aziraphale and Crowley got their happy ending in the best version possible, as they no longer had to deal with Heaven and Hell and simply lived their lives as they wanted.
