Ned is a young man with a special gift – he can bring a dead person back to life with a touch. But there's a catch – if the person stays alive for more than a minute, then someone else will die. Also, a second touch will bring death, forever. Ned and Chuck discover that the plaster monkeys were actually made of gold. Lily and Vivian collect the reward for catching Chuck's killer, and decide to leave the house for the first time in years. Ned, Chuck and Emerson agree to work together – but despite their yearnings, Ned and Chuck can never touch again.
