In this episode, Eurydice, known as Riddy (Aurora Perrineau) is going to break up with rock-star Orpheus (Killian Scott), when (spoiler alert!) she dies and is ferried by a cruise ship across the Styx. Inspired by Orpheus' music, Dionysus (Nabhaan Rizwan) decides to try to reunite the two lovers to prove that he has more purpose than party.
