As part of his deal, Joe agrees to give Parrish more time before he is taken, but there’s a twist: during this time, Joe also develops a romantic bond with Parrish’s daughter, Susan (played by Claire Forlani), which complicates matters as the relationship between the mortal and the supernatural deepens.
