Plot: Lois finds a lump on Peter’s breast and worries that the lump could be cancer. Peter sees a doctor. It turns out to be a benign fatty corpuscle, but Peter does not want to pay the hospital bill, so he declares himself deceased on the insurance form. When Death shows up at his house, Peter tries to run away and Death sprains his ankle chasing him. Death demands that Peter say nothing about Death’s injury and the fact that no one can die while Death recovers, but Peter instead blabs about it to his drinking buddies, and inevitably proves it several times by getting shot. The fact that no one can die becomes top news.
Peter is forced to take over Death’s job in order to prove to people they can still die and is assigned by Death to kill the kids from Dawson’s Creek, but fails to do so because he says, “If I do, then I have nothing to watch on Wednesdays.” Instead, Peter unwittingly kills two airplane pilots, proving people are not immortal, and forcing actress Karen Black to land the plane.
