Summary
It is late winter, 1951. A decade after that fateful night in 1941 (Good Omens Season 1, episode 3: Hard Times and Season 2, episode 4: The Hitchhiker), Aziraphale is in an uncharacteristically depressive slump. The last war took a bit of a toll on the Earth-loving angel, talk of the End Times has picked up at work, and he has spent the last ten years trying to drop subtle hints that he feels a lot more than 'friendship' for his hereditary enemy/best friend, Crowley. He decides it's time for a little break and lies down for a depression nap.
He really should have consulted Crowley about it first.

Summary
1881: After Alexander II's assassination, while Leo XIII implements social reform within the Roman Catholic Church, Pyotr Alexandrovich Miusov incidentally receives while in Paris a request from one of those pesky "Christian socialists" of whose company he's avoided -- a long-forgotten prince, one Lev Nikolaevich Myshkin, belonging to a dubiously reputable group of esotericists -- for the personal contributions of any devotee of the late Elder Zosima of Skotoprigonyevsk, and for so simple a task the prince introduces the Liberal to certain European aristocrats.
"Helena Petrovna won't return from her rounds in India," adds Myshkin by way of explanation, "and so, we seek dialogue with a Russian mystic of equal dynamism, albeit one less prone to scandal."
Miusov thinks to the youngest of the famous brothers of Skotoprigonyevsk, now a schoolmaster. The young man had inherited his father's house, and with the devoted aid of Katerina Ivanovna Verkhovtseva cares for his brother Ivan, still unstable after nearly three years since their eldest brother Dmitri's trial for parricide and subsequent sentence to Siberia.
This Prince Myshkin, after all, reminds Miusov of Alexei Fyodorovich Karamazov, that holy fool.

Summary
“There you are. I’ll require your assistance with this,” Armand says, looking relieved to see him.
“Of course, sir,” Rashid says, setting his messenger bag on the nearest chair. “Daniel replied?”
“Within six hours of when you made the delivery, by my math,” Armand replies, sounding dazed. He sets down the handful of photographs back down in their box. “I almost didn’t expect…” Armand gets to his feet, brushing off his hands. “These are too well organized.”
“They’re…what, sir?” Rashid asks, perplexed.
“Too orderly,” Armand clarifies. “Mix them up.”
Rashid gives him an exasperated look. “Sir.”
Armand looks petulant. “Louis doesn’t deserve—”
“An easy time of this, no, I know you don’t think so,” Rashid replies. “However, it’s a terrible idea to push him when you’ll be on-edge yourself.”
“You’re lucky I don’t pay you to keep your mouth shut and opinions to yourself,” Armand says. “Advice registered, request denied. Mix them.”
