Jake and Renee have met with a witch/medium on the roof of a high school for a dark ritual in which they are summoning Death itself to answer fundamental questions about what comes after this life, and perhaps even the secret of mortality. Unfortunately, they don’t get Death. They get Itchiness. Ever worse, Itchiness shops at the same basic “black robe” store as Death, so they don’t realize this right off. Things might have gone better for Jake if he had brought a better sacrifice than a jar of marinara, but as they say – hindsight is 20/20.
