Comedian and Actor Efthimios liked it, then put a ring on it, then changed his mind... twice.

In episode 6, Efthimios talks making hard decisions regarding life and love, and dealing with the aftermath. Jhanelle challenges the notion of "'til death do us part". But first, Jacob accepts a weird vow that extends into the afterlife.
