  Summary

  After being released from the waiting room five years later, with little fanfare, Beetlejuice returns to the land of the living only to find he's been bound. His freedom is dependant on Lydia, and her freedom is dependant on what she does next. Navigating marriage is hard enough, but being married to a dead guy? For Better or Worse, Lydia made a deal with the devil and it's time to pay up.
