When the football player Sam Langmead dies of dehydration after a strong training, the Fishers are hired for the funeral services. Brenda invites her former sweetheart Trevor, his wife Dawn and their son Will for a dinner with Nate. Rico asks for a US$ 11,000.00 loan to David and Nate to buy a house for his family, but David decides to buy an Appleby casket wall instead. The executive of Kroehner Mitzi Dalton Huntley makes another offer to buy the Fisher's business. Claire finds that Gabe stole a controlled substance for embalming corpse to make stronger marijuana and robbed a convenience store. Nate is haunted by the spirit of Sam and decides to tell his brother about his condition AVM and that he may have a stroke or an aneurysm any moment.
"Out, Out, Brief Candle" is a depressing episode of "Six Feet Under", with the problematic Claire recalling her traumatic childhood; Claire finding the dark side of Gabe; and Nate disclosing his disease to David. My vote is eight.
