The Sandman – S2 – Death: The High Cost of Living – Eps12
Journalist Sexton Furnival writes a suicide note to his ex-girlfriend, Sylvie, convinced that the world is heading to an inevitable end. He trips while in a dump and meets Death, who reveals herself and tells him it is her day off, though Sexton does not believe her. Hettie asks for Death’s help to find her soul. Death takes Sexton with her and they go to a club, where they meet Sexton’s roommate Billie, her girlfriend Amelia and their friend Jackie, in whom Sexton becomes interested. Sexton introduces Death as Didi and they meet the club owner Theo. Theo becomes interested in Didi and asks her to come upstairs with him, though she brings Sexton along. They realize it is a setup, as Theo has realized who she is and has summoned her to bring back his girlfriend Natalie. They try to talk to a distraught Theo, who ends up falling and injuring himself before being taken to a hospital. The next day, Didi buys a necklace and asks Sexton to give it to Hettie. Didi suddenly dies after her day off and Hettie reveals that there is a picture of her daughter inside the necklace. At home, Amelia brings Jackie and Sexton, no longer suicidal, asks her out. Didi wakes up in Death’s realm and tells Death she loves mortality and doesn’t want it to end.
