Episode Summary & Review
Summary
George’s sister, Reggie, befriends a young reaper, while George comes close to falling for one of her potential reaps.
Our Take
A quiet, surprisingly touching hour that leans on the Reggie storyline more than usual, and it pays off. George’s near-romance with a doomed painter could have been corny, but Muth plays it restrained enough to land. Some of the graveling subplot feels like filler, yet the emotional core holds. Worth your time if you’ve been waiting for the show to slow down and breathe.
