In Episode 5, Orpheus pleads his case before Pluto,
Lord of The Underworld (played by Terry Anne Tessaurusrex).
​Pluto is so moved by the song of Orpheus that he will allow Eurydice to return to
The Land of The Living; but Orpheus may not look at her until they are safely home.
​If Orpheus fails in this restriction, then Eurydice must return to The Land of The Dead. ​

In Episode 6, Love knows no rules or limits: Orpheus views Eurydice,
and so she must return to The Land of The Dead.
