Ep 6. Til Death

Til Death is the sixth episode of the first season of Being Erica, a Canadian television show that explores the life of Erica Strange, a young woman who is struggling to find direction and purpose in her life. In this episode, Erica is forced to confront the reality of her own mortality when her neighbor, a young woman named Sarah, dies suddenly and unexpectedly.

The episode begins with Erica and her friend, Jenny, discussing the details of Sarah's death. Jenny is worried that she might die suddenly too, and she takes Erica to a psychic to try to get some answers. The psychic tells Erica that she needs to "live for the moment" and to stop worrying so much about the past and the future.

Erica is still shaken by Sarah's death, and she decides to attend the funeral to pay her respects. While there, she meets Sarah's husband, Mark, who tells her that Sarah had been planning to leave him. Erica begins to question whether she's been living her life in the right way, and she starts to wonder whether she's on the right path.

Later in the episode, Erica's own mortality is brought into sharp focus when she discovers that her father has been diagnosed with a serious illness. She spends time with her dad in the hospital, and the experience makes her realize how much she has drifted apart from her family over the years.

At the same time, Erica's professional life is also in flux. She's been struggling to find a job that she enjoys, and she's starting to feel like her life is going nowhere. However, she's offered a position as an assistant editor at a publishing house, which she thinks might be just what she needs to jumpstart her career.

Throughout the episode, Erica grapples with the fragility of life and the fact that everything can change in an instant. She starts to see that the choices she makes today will have a profound impact on her future, and she begins to focus on making the most of every moment.

The episode ends with Erica attending a party at Jenny's, where she has a heart-to-heart conversation with her mother about the importance of family. She also reconnects with a former friend, Ethan, who tells her that he's moved back to town and wants to rekindle their friendship.

Til Death is a thought-provoking episode of Being Erica that explores some of life's big questions: what does it mean to live well, and how can we make the most of the time we have? It's a poignant reminder that life is short and that we should do everything we can to enjoy it while we can.
