The Reapers left meet a new head reaper, Cameron Kane (Henry Ian Cusick) a "slick business man who couldn't care less about helping the newly dead," and George (Ellen Muth) reconnects with her sister Reggie (Britt McKillip) when she has to reap her new (and secret) boyfriend, Hudson Hart's (Jordan Hudyma) soul. Daisy (now played by Sarah Wynter) is attracted to Cameron, who helps her get a role in After the Fall.
