In Season 1, George has trouble adjusting to her circumstances – collecting souls while holding down a day job.

Each reaper has a secret quota of souls once the quota is met, the reaper moves on to another realm and the last soul reaped then takes his or her job collecting souls. She is soon informed that, rather than moving on to the ' great beyond', she will become a grim reaper in the External Influence Division, collecting souls of people who die in accidents (many of which have a Rube Goldberg-style complexity ), and homicides. During her lunch break on her first day, she is hit and killed by a toilet seat falling from the deorbiting Mir space station. After dropping out of college, she takes a temp job through Happy Time Temporary Services. Georgia Lass is aloof and emotionally distant from her family and shies away from her life. An excited Frog juggled the jar and finally dropped it, shattering it on the ground. Frog begged Toad to let him hold the jar, something to which Toad finally agreed. The first scene of the pilot episode introduces an origin-of-death myth where at the dawn of time, 'god (lower-case g)' was busy with creation and gave Toad a clay jar containing death which Toad promised to guard. The show explores the experiences of a small team of such reapers, as well as the changes in George and her family as they deal with George's death. George's death leaves behind her mother ( Cynthia Stevenson) and the rest of her family at a point when her relationships with them were on shaky ground. George soon learns that a reaper's job is to remove the souls of people, preferably just before they die, and escort them until they move on into their afterlife. George dies early in the pilot episode and becomes one of the ' undead', a ' grim reaper'. Įighteen-year-old Georgia 'George' Lass ( Ellen Muth) is the show's protagonist and narrator.
