Jasper's having breakfast and Elena brings him a requested bottle of vanilla cream soda. He tells Elena about his life, but she is distracted by the sight of Ruby and Mel walking by.

Elena explains to Ruby that she didn't bring Mel to her, that on Fantasy Island the spirits of dead loved ones come back as real as life on the Dias de los Muertos. Ruby realizes that means that Mel must've died and weeps with grief.

Elena returns to Jasper. It turns out that Jasper has passed as well and is stuck in a purgatory. He wants to go to heaven. Elena tells him that he has 24 hrs.

She brings him to his gallery space which he tries to escape. He freaks out because this was his purgatory.

Ramon refuses to forgive Jasper.

Segundo counsels Elena to be cautious about calling Fernando back. Ruby arrives, distraught that she can't find Mel. Segundo and Elena warn her that spirits who don't accept their death can become angry and lost.
