Episode One: A New Start
On a bright, sunny day above Miami, Otis begins to lose control of his spaceship as he approaches Earth. What seems like a rocky landing soon becomes a nightmare for Otis when he makes one last attempt to land his ship. In the mess of the crash, he realizes he has just killed a human, but not just any human. Otis has killed the first human he has ever encountered. Otis is then blinded by a ray of light and a ghost transcends from the body. It is the ghost of the human he has just killed. Otis is dumbfounded by what he is witnessing. The ghost, in shock, looks at himself as he lay lifeless on the ground. Otis apologizes for accidently killing him and makes an attempt to introduce himself and explain the situation. As the ghost comes to terms with everything, he introduces himself as Karl. Karl tells Otis that he will not be ready to cross over until his bucket list is completely crossed off. Otis explains to Karl that he wants to learn how to live as a human and is capable of mimicking the appearance of Karl. Otis makes a promise to Karl that he will help him complete his bucket list.
Episode Two: Walk and Talk Like Me
A few days after Otis’s arrival to Earth, Karl presents his bucket list to Otis. However, before Otis can even attempt to complete the list he must learn how to act like a human, as well as act like Karl. Karl begins with the basics of “human etiquette”. This covers manners, conversation skills and starters, as well as how to eat. After explaining this, Karl tells Otis that “teaching a friend a new way of life” is the first thing on his bucket list. Otis becomes very excited. Otis struggles with conversation starters as he is extremely awkward and not the most intelligent creature to talk to. With lots of patience Karl manages to teach Otis how to talk to a convenience store cashier.
