The publishers for Isaac and Samantha’s new book about Isaac, only problem about it is it’s being hosted in Manhattan, and Isaac can’t attend due to the ghost boundary. As a response to this, Samantha gets a false note from the therapist she hired for Thorfinn. With this party, Patience is brought from the dirt, sensing evil will arise from the party. Later on, Jay reveals to Samantha he signed a deal with a publicist to write a good review on his restaurant, which Samantha then reveals to be Elias Woodstone going under the human identity of Brent as a living. Elias then says when Jay signed that contract he sold his soul to hell, and to relax and enjoy the last days he has to live, where Elias tries to kill Jay with a falling chandelier.

Alberta confesses she has a crush on Pete, and in private, the both of them share a love-passionate kiss.

Episode Quotes

  • “What? No. This is Brent, my publicist.” -Jay “No. This is Hetty’s husband, who was also a ghost that went to hell but now apparently has taken human form?” -Samantha “He got a promotion in hell, and now he can pose as a Living to reap souls. He told us a few weeks ago when he popped by. In retrospect, we probably should’ve mentioned something.” -Hetty “You think?” -Samantha “What is going on?” -Jay  “Your wife is correct, actually. Although you know me as Brent McAffee, a hardworking publicist, I am in fact Elias Woodstone, an emissary for the devil.” -Elias “No…” -Jay “When you signed the contract to hire me, in exchange for making your dreams come true, I secured your soul for Satan.” -Elias “Seriously? Jay, you have to read the fine print.” -Trevor “I told you all I would not rest until I reaped a soul from this house.” -Elias
  • “I’ve had lustful thoughts about Pete.” -Alberta ( all gasp ) “And I can’t seem to stop them. I thought it started a couple weeks ago when I saw this different side of him. ( chuckles ) This “bad boy” side. But the truth is, maybe these feelings have always been there and I just didn’t want to see them. When I first met him, I thought he was nice. But maybe too nice. Never the type of guy I would ever go for, so I kept him at arm’s length. But maybe… all I was really denying was myself. ‘Cause I’m starting to think a guy like Pete is exactly what I need. ( sighs ) But I blew it. I waited until he had a girlfriend before I took my shot. So I guess, shame on me.” -Alberta
