Excellent character development and back to the witty dialogue that was present at the beginning of the season. This episode portrays many of the characters in a very touching manner and shows a deeper view of their personalities. Most of the episode is worthy of at least a nine, if not ten, out of ten star rating. One scene tainted the episode (and to some extent the entire show) so much, it dropped the score to a two.
When George finally gets the chance to talk to the young pet-reaper, he tells her that he died by being struck by a car. This is a clear reference to Rebecca Gayheart (who was removed from the series early in the season).
I understand the concept of dark-comedy and being irreverent in a comedic way, but this reference took it way too far. It was cruel to Ms. Gayheart and the child (and his family) that was killed in the accident. She was already removed from the show (presumably because of the incident), there was no reason to make this rude, cruel, and unnecessary reference.
If you are unaware of the incident, it is documented in Rebecca Gayheart's bio here on IMDB.
