Thanks to Jazinda Kl'rt-Spawn's special connection with Death, she was able to warn her that she was in danger, and so Jazinda enlisted the help of Genis to rescue Marlo and Death. When they finally got them free, Rick noticed a deep sorrow in Death and came to the conclusion she was tired of her job. Feeling she had been living on borrowed time since her assassination all those years before, Marlo decided to take over Death's job.
