The Pitch

Threads of fate converge as Roland enters the mind of Jack Mort, the wildcard.

This week, Kole Ross is joined by Autumn Greer and Paddy Smith to get into the head of Roland's third, his "Death, but not for you." After struggling up the beach with Detta and reaching the ends of their ropes, Roland passes through the third door and finds himself in New York City in the 1970s, inhabiting the body of a truly loathsome man. As he gets his bearings, a weary Eddie gets caught off guard by Detta.
