Once they are made aware that their reviews are not anonymous but that in reality anyone can see who they are, their only thought is saving face instead of offering any apologies or attempting to mend their ways.

They then write a review on the Woodstone B&B, indicating that there are probably nicer places but that the owners of this charming B&B really take care of their guests, that they have anticipated all their needs.

Once is not custom, their real personality comes out again at the end of their comment where they mention that Sam and Jay mainly helped them realize that their Yelp account had been hacked and that bad comments had been written “against them” in their favorite institutions. They only feign at penance when their identities are made public.

The Ghosts then offer Sam to spy on them to be sure to know what they are really thinking. Against the advice of Jay who is not for this option at all, the cute side but a bit mischievous of Sam decides to follow the Ghosts proposal.

And… Pete was right, the sheets are too thin, the towels too rough, the toilet paper second-rate, all while claiming to Sam and Jay’s faces that all is well and that they couldn’t be happier.

As the episode unfolds, their complaints become more and more nitpicky and ridiculous (the music playlist, the “Satanic” butter dish, the pitch of Sam’s voice), but the final straw is when they say they dislike Sam’s deceased mother’s special perfume.

This becomes too much criticism for Jay. He then goes into the living room where they are having dinner and offers a beautiful monologue extolling the qualities of his wife.

It’s only after the myth of their anonymity is pulled aside that they walk back their criticisms, and end up publicly claiming that they’d been hacked in order to cast the blame for their scathing reviews on other parties.

Mark is a self-proclaimed sneakerhead, which is another thing he has in common with Jay. Because he spends alot of money of sneakers, he and Jay have an agreement that he can keep his newest shoes at the mansion so that his wife has no idea how much he spends on his “addiction.” He also is a self-starter which is evident in his work as a contractor. In “Woodsone’s Hottest Couple” he volunteers to be a business partner with Jay in their new restaurant and offers to do the renovation to the barn for free.

In “D&D,” Mark meets Sam further out on the property to discuss taking down an old shed. When he reaches for the door, he can remove it completely, without much force, but in doing so, unknowingly awakens three British ghosts from the Revolutionary War. He remarks that the shed will come down easily after pushing over an old gutter. The ghosts’ rather unwelcoming demeanor surprises Sam who apologizes for “gawking” at them, which then catches Mark’s attention. She quickly recovers her apology to the ghosts by adding his name. She then tells Mark to leave the shed alone and that she has a meeting and must return to the house, leaving Mark alone with the ghosts. Mark seems a bit frustrated about this.

In “Alberta’s Fan”, Mark has to bring his son, David, to work with him due to his wife being out of town for work. He introduces the child to Sam, and unknowingly Pete, Thorfinn, Alberta, Hetty, and Issac. It is here where Alberta fixes herself up and admits her attraction to him, stating “why are all the good ones married… and alive?” Little David points to Issac and yells out “pirate” which surprises Sam. Mark tells him that there is no one there but that he loves his son’s imagination. David then runs off, prompting Mark to run after him. It is here that Issac tells Sam that although rare, some young children can see ghosts. Mark then returns to Sam as she tells him that “we” are going for a walk, again letting it slip that she is talking to ghosts. Mark‘s questions her use of “we” since he can only see her, to which she responds that she meant it in the royal sense of the word. Once she leaves the room, Mark shakes his head and sighs as he turns to start his work day, not sure what to make of Sam.

In “The Vault”, while Sam and Jay are admiring the decor for an upcoming wedding they have been chosen to host, Mark comes into the room, letting them know he has to show them something. They assume that it might be bad news and that they should be prepared to pay more money for their already expensive renovation. To that end, Mark says that what he found could be good news and that there is no need to bring a check for more money, as he has their credit card information on file. When he brings them into another room, he states that as he was doing some rewiring, he turned a sconce which then caused a sound to emanate from the adjoining wall. He reveals a secret passageway that leads to a bank vault. He offers to open it, stating that it could take a while and that it may be expensive. Before leaving them there, he tells them to let them know if they want his crew to open the vault.

In “Ghostwriter,” Sam is translating a basketball game between Pete and Jay to avoid finishing the website for the B&B. Jay tells her that she can leave so that she can continue to work on the site and convinces her that he will be fine watching the game with Pete. After witnessing an incredible play and asking Pete to do their secret handshake, he becomes disenchanted with the idea of watching sports with someone who he can neither see nor hear. At this point, Mark comes into the room to let him know that he will be back the next day with some baseboards. He then notices that Jay is watching the Syracuse game and comments that the team is looking good this season. Jay asks if he is a fan, to which Mark responds that he loves college basketball. Jay then asks Mark if he wants to hang out and watch the game. Mark responds that he is supposed to help his wife with their taxes but decides to stay with Jay and watch the game instead. As he goes to sit down, not knowing that Pete is already sitting next to Jay, he accidentally sits in the same spot and ends up sitting down right in the middle of Pete, causing Pete excruciating pain. This begins Pete’s jealousy and general dislike of Mark.

In the season finale, “Farnsby & B,” Mark meets Jay and Sam in the kitchen as they are discussing their neighbors, the Farnsbys’. Jay admits his growing interest in Pickleball and tells Sam that he and Mark have played together several times, calling them “Pickle Bros.” Mark tells him that name is not catching on. He also lets them know about the termites in their basement. Sam and Jay become exasperated by this news, stating that it’s one thing after another with the house and comments that perhaps they are cursed. They follow Mark into the basement, where he points out that the blistering in the wood beams is due to termites and that they may not have to do anything straight away, but advises that they should not wait too long to take care of it. Of course, while in the basement, Sam encounters the Cholera ghosts, and when Nancy, one of them, tries to speak to Sam, Sam tries her best to ignore her, conscious that Mark is still in the room with them and doing her best not to get caught speaking to them in front of him.

• Mark’s son, David, possesses the ability to see ghosts, marking the first time another living, besides Sam, can communicate with earthbound spirits. His presence also helps Hetty remember that it was Thorfinn, whom as a child she had named “Gordon”, who sang to and comforted her so that she could sleep.

Bela is a single woman who lives in Boston and from what her brother has hinted at, and is very easily and quickly attached to the men she dates. She does not take break ups well and will often go into an emotional funk for some time. Jay states that his sister is very “thirsty” which means that she tends to be desperate for men’s attention and affection. In “Jay’s Sister“, when Bela first comes to the house, she is kind to Sam but it is clear that they aren’t very close. She doesn’t seem to understand Sam’s sense of humor. However, she is excited for her visit because she claims she is over her ex-boyfriend, in fact, she had met someone new. She also states that the guy is not her normal type as he is a “douchy, finance bro” type” but that he is also very sensitive and very handsome and that they have connected in a way much different than what she ever expected.

Bela is definitely in tune with her emotions and has no problem expressing them freely. During “Jay’s Sister” Bela goes from excitement to anger quickly after she learns that Trevor is someone who has died and that she had been possibly catfished. She then becomes disgusted after learning that the messages from the profile she had matched with originated on Jay and Sam’s kitchen IPad. By the end of the episode, Bela’s faith in her brother and sister in law is restored after Sam is able to translate for Trevor why he did what he did and how he truly feels for her.

Like her brother, Bela has a bit of a goofy personality which is evidenced by her nickname for her brother. She enjoys clubbing, visiting the Hamptons, and listening to 90s jam bands.

Bela’s “type” is further highlighted by the fact that she has kept her friend, Eric, in the cursed friend zone for an unknown amount of time. She remarks that he is always doing things for her and is always available, which she scoffs at.

It is in “The Christmas Spirit, Part One, The Christmas Spirit, Part Two” that we learn that Bela has a mischievous and scheming side to her. In an effort to try to sleep with Trevor, or at least spend time with him, she successfully convinces Eric to allow Trevor to possess him. She also talks with her brother, Jay, to learn exactly he was possess under the guise that she simply just wants to allow him to tell his story so that she can support him during what was a traumatic event.

Bela is also initially jealous of the relationship that Jay has with Sam. She remarks that maybe she could’ve had the same with Trevor and becomes frustrated when Jay forbids her from tyring to sleep with a ghost in his home on Christmas.

Bela Arondekar is Jay’s sister who currently lives in Boston. In “Jay’s Sister“, she is single and had just broken up with her boyfriend, Gabe. In this episode, she is visiting her brother, Jay, and sister in law, Sam for the first time since they’ve moved to the Hudson Valley. Jay is worried about the emotional state of his sister and asks Sam to tread lightly although Sam is excited for the possibility of getting closer to her sister in law by helping her deal with the sadness about her break up and get over her ex.

Before her visit, Bela has been active on dating sites and apps and had recently set her location to the Hudson Valley in hopes of meeting someone new. And when she first arrives at the Woodstone Mansion, she is excited about a new guy she had recently matched with. Upon showing the couple the new match, Jay is excited for her commenting on how good the man looks. However, when Sam sees the picture of the man, she immediately recognizes him as Trevor and is furious and curious as to how Bela could’ve matched with someone who’s been dead for 20 years.

In a panic, and in an effort to preserve her feelings, Sam and Jay decide to message Bela on behalf of Trevor that he has moved away to Newfoundland and won’t be able to continue their online relationship. When she reads his messages, Bela suspects that he is lying and when she searches Trevor’s profile picture online, she learns that it’s a picture of a man who died 20 years ago. She immediately believes she’s been catfished.

She messages him over and over again and notices that each time she messages him, there is a notification sound coming from the kitchen. She orders Jay to unlock the IPad that they keep in the kitchen, and it is there where she learns that the notifications are due to the messages that she had been sending. This infuriates her, believing that her brother and sister in law believed her so incapable of finding a man on her own that they would create a fake profile to match with her. She immeidately goes upstairs to pack and states sht she is leaving the house.

As she is packing, Jay and Sam beg her not to leave and in an effort to get her to stay and salvage what’s left of their relationship, Sam tells Bela that a ghost was the one who created the profile from the IPad and matched with her. As anyone else would be when hearing something like this, Bela is very skeptical. Sam argues that this is true and asks Issac, Alberta, and Thorfinn to use their powers to help Bela believe her. It’s not until Pete is able to peer into Bela’s bag and tell Sam what is in it, with Sam translating those contents to Bela and that she is able to guess how many fingers Bela is holding up thanks to the ghost’s help, that she finally believes Sam. Sam then confides to Bela that besides Jay, she is the only person who knows her ability. Bela agrees to keep this information to herself and is flattered to learn that she is the only one who knows besides Jay. This helps to strengthen the relationship between the two women.

Bela and her friend Eric visit Jay and Sam during Christmas on “The Christmas Spirit, Part One, The Christmas Spirit, Part Two”, although he is only with her because she needed a ride. She is still interested in Trevor, and asks hopefully if Trevor is still around. While Sam is trying to get sparks flying between Bela and Eric, Bela busies herself with trying to find a way to speak with Trevor. Trevor successfully messages Bela from the computer in the kitchen, and is pleased when Bela agrees to allow him to possess her friend so that they can be together. Bela then convinces Eric to allow Trevor to possess him and talks with her brother about how he was possessed by Hetty so that she can help Eric and Trevor recreate the same event. As they are trying this late on Christmas Eve, Jay walks in on them and explicitly forbids Bela from going through with her plans. Frustrated, she stomps up to her room and the next day, Eric leaves the house.

After Jay convinces Eric to come back to the house and he gives her and Eric his blessing to proceed with the possession. However, things backfire horribly when instead of getting possessed, Eric temporarily dies from electocution. Bela is scared and immediately regretful of her choices. When Eric awakes, Bela apologies profusely, grateful that he is okay. Later, when talking with Jay, he convinces her that Eric isn’t safe, but is deeply unstable, a gesture he knows will turn his sister’s head toward Eric. And almost as if nothing has happened, they are able to continue to enjoy their holiday into the next day, when they can finally exchange gifts.

Todd Pearlman first appears in “Alberta’s Fan” as the titular character. He’s a middle-aged man who lives with his mom and is Alberta‘s biggest fan and historian. Running the one and only Alberta Haynes Museum out of his mother’s garage in Altoona, PA, he sets himself as an expert of her history and career, even writing a book about her. He visited Woodstone Mansion in hopes of finding clues regarding her death. While the official cause of death was a cardiac episode, Todd always suspected foul play. Citing that a woman as beautiful and talented as Alberta would attract rivals, there are sure to be several suspects in the case of her murder.

Alberta immediately took a liking to Todd, his praise and adoration giving her ego a boost. This annoyed Isaac to no end, since he had hoped that the historian had come to write about him! However, as Todd‘s visit went on, he began displaying more worrisome “superfan” behaviors: smelling her coat several times, having purchased one of her toenail clippings with the intent to clone her, even having a full color tattoo of Alberta‘s face on his back!

After spending the night at the B&B, Trevor found Todd unconscious and ill. After rounding up the Ghosts and Livings, Jay calls for an ambulance. Meanwhile, Alberta reminds Sam that if Todd dies on the property and becomes a ghost, they would be stuck with him forever, and the only way to prevent this from happening was to drag him off of the property in time.

Disregarding standard procedure of not moving someone who may be injured, Sam, Jay, and one of the workmen wrap Todd in a blanket and haul him down the stairs, just in time to meet with the paramedics who chastise them for carrying him out. They load him into the ambulance and drive off, leaving Sam and Jay hoping that they didn’t kill their first guest.

Later that afternoon, Jay hears back from the hospital, informing him that Todd pulled through and should be okay, much to everyone’s relief. Moments later, one of his friends sends him a video relating to Woodstone Mansion…and it’s Todd! He’s being interviewed by a local news station in regards to his adventure. He reports that he’d been staying at the Woodstone B&B where he’d been poisoned…by an old flask of moonshine, which he drank from to touch his lips where Alberta‘s had touched. This news story sent several viewers to research Alberta‘s album, spreading her fan base even further. Having previously been upset that her “biggest fan” had turned out to be a nut case, she preened at receiving praise from many new people thanks to Todd‘s story.

Todd would later return to Woodstone Mansion in “Alberta’s Podcast“, begrudgingly invited by Sam to co-host a podcast about Alberta‘s death, jumping in on the new popularity of murder-mystery podcasts. Todd arrives, bearing gifts: his newly-published biography of Alberta, and several artifacts from his museum, which he needed to move out to make room for his mother’s boyfriend’s bowling stuff.

Sam and Jay go out to help unload Todd‘s car of his research materials, including a spliced-together picture that would show what Todd‘s and Alberta‘s potential child would look like. One of the pieces was an antique end table with a false bottom, containing Alberta‘s secret diary! Alberta insists that it be left alone, that it contained things she didn’t want to get out, but getting it away from Todd was impossible.

After reading Alberta‘s diary and discovering the story of how she ratted out Clara, the club headliner so she could perform instead, Todd is completely taken aback! Having devoted his life and career to her, he no longer feels he knows who Alberta is! This makes Alberta afraid that whoever listens to the podcast will think she was a fraud and turn against her.

Alberta breaks and shares with Sam, Pete, and Sasappis why she ratted Clara out: because she’d been continually overlooked due to her body size, and Clara had been put in front because despite being less talented, she was skinny.

Sam shares this information with Todd, who comes around to realizing that Alberta had had good reason to do what she did, and he comes to admire her even more for being a crusader against unfair body standards as well as being a remarkable person and talented singer. So much so, in fact, that his desire to clone her is redoubled, much to Alberta‘s dismay.

In “Alberta’s Descendant“, we find him presenting a much more charming, confident, and charismatic side of himself. He instantly charms Alicia, Alberta’s great-great-great niece with their shared love of classic literature and her famous relative. He shows he’s supportive as well, advising her to follow her dreams of being a singer like Alberta. He is utterly dismayed, then, when Sam chooses to highlight all of his strange behavior while he and Alicia have lunch together. He still is determined to stick with the podcast, despite those awkward moments, and between him, Alicia, Sam, and Alberta, they discover that Alberta’s own sister might have had a hand in her murder!

Micah is a young local that Jay meets during a game of pick-up basketball. So pleased to have finally made some friends, Jay invites him and a few others over to the house to watch a game on tv together.

There, Micah shares his philosophy with Jay—which others in his group point out is remarkable for him to do—about basketball and life. You can choose “direction” or “ball”. He then suggests to Jay that it’s possible to have both. Rolling up his sleeve reveals a white patch on his arm. When Jay asks what it is, Micah tells him “This is ball.”

After Jay gives Micah a tour of the house, he gives Jay 10 boxes of the vitamin patches to sell on consignment. Shortly after this, it’s revealed to Jay that this group isn’t just a business or a Ponzi scheme, it’s a cult! Its members believe that the vitamin patches that Micah learned to make in a dream will give them eternal life, as well as guaranteeing them their own planets to rule. He even gets Jay to “patch in” with them.

He has a nefarious purpose, however. In the fine print regarding the boxes of vitamin patches, Micah hid a clause stating that he and his cult would get to live in Woodstone Mansion for one trillion years. It’s only after Sam pretends that she slept with him, threatening to fracture the group and shake their faith in Micah, that he agrees to leave the premises.

He seems to care little for the real Pete Martino or his family. He would rather spin an elaborate character assassination for the sake of entertainment than consider how this portrayal would affect people.

He wants to be regarded as a great actor, and has quite the inflated sense of self-importance, believing his portrayal of Pete would be his break into mainstream cinema.

Always keen for the over-the-top, he even volunteers to wet/soil himself, even though it isn’t called for.

Pete Actor is an English methor actor who is becoming obsessed with “getting to the truth” of Pete Martino when he is hired by the TV show “Dumb Deaths” to recreate the day Pete died.

This man has made a career as a character actor in various small television roles, often going to extremes in doing so. For a brief appearance as Customer #2 he admitted to gaining 75 lbs for the part. To prepare for playing Pete Martino in an episode of the docuseries “Dumb Deaths“, he sought to find Pete’s motivations and reasons for his ultimately dumb death.

• Pete Actor is actually played by Mathew Baynton, who is Thomas Thorne on the original BBC series “Ghosts“.

• “I’m so sorry, I don’t want to be that guy, but mobile phones weren’t around in 1985, so would you mind…? I know you’re not on screen but it’s just the vibe for me.” (Season 2, Episode 7)
• “I actually put on 75 lbs for my last role. Too months to lose it, but nobody will forget Customer #2!” (Season 2, Episode 7)
• “What drives Pete Martino? Who IS Pete Martino? What causes a man, an experience troop leader, to put himself directly in the line of fire?” (Season 2, Episode 7)
• “Yes! Of course he was [drunk]! He looked around one day and saw how pathetic his life was. A travel agent booking other people’s holidays while going nowhere himself! So he hit the bottle!” (Season 2, Episode 7)
• “I don’t get this rewrite. Why would I say “Howdy”? Is this a western? Am I Jonathan Wayne?” (Season 2, Episode 7)
• “You were there?! Tell me everything, Jennifer! Bring me inside the mind of a madman!” (Season 2, Episode 7)
• “Dammit! Whatever tenuous foothold I had into this man is gone, I’ve completely lost my character! ” (Season 2, Episode 7)
• “A sugar fiend in need of his fix! His blind pursuit of pastry ultimately costing him his life! And earning me a general meeting with J.J. Abrams or someone in his company.” (Season 2, Episode 7)
• “When the arrow punctures my neck and shatters Pete Martino’s dreams, I urinate!” (Season 2, Episode 7)
• “(As Ira) No! This was supposed be a hip and groovy day, ya dig? But this is like the OPPOSITE of groovy! There’s no such thing as free love! There’s always a price!!” (Season 2, Episode 7)

Basically, he comes off as a sappy pushover with no thought for himself apart from “getting the girl” regardless of personal cost. It’s a direct contrast to Bela’s attraction to messy, complicated situations and people.

His willingness to believe Bela’s revelation that Woodstone Mansion is haunted is admirable, even if his agreement to allow Trevor to possess him may make him appear naively over-eager.

His devotion, however, is ultimately rewarded. After a close brush with death, Bela found that she wished to give him a chance, romantically. This decision was encouraged when Jay suggested that Eric is “dangerous” enough to be appealing to his drama-loving sister.

Eric is an architect and a longtime friend of Jay’s sister, Bela. She’s admitted that he’s always been there for her when she needed help. He’s harbored feelings for her for years and has been waiting for her to feel the same way. She has displayed no such feelings for him, though, and initially finds the very idea to be laughable.

Freddie is a chipper, motivated young man with a driving desire to show that he’s the best.

On his first day on the job, he organizes Jay’s recipes, incorporates new business software into their computer, and even knows how to cook. He also strongly relates to Jay with his pop culture references. He starts out with an enthusiastic work ethic, offering to arrive at work early and stay late (“The Perfect Assistant“)

Beneath his can-do exterior, however, lurks depths of despair. When Sam and Jay, mistakenly believing that he was a murderer, fire him, he immediately called his mother and cried that he would only ever be fit for food delivery.

All wasn’t well after his return, either. In “The Family Business”, his relationship with his girlfriend suddenly imploded in a huge fight that was started over their water filter pitcher. However, he’d previously remarked that his girlfriend was growing irritated with him for repeatedly saying how much he loved his job (not to mention staying late!), and the Ghost that haunts his car told Sasappis that they’d been listening to a lot of podcasts about toxic relationships. So it would appear their relationship was already on the rocks.

After their breakup, Freddie falls apart completely, bemoaning losing custody of both the water filter and their hamster, rendering him incapable of doing his job.

When Sam loses patience with him and finally snaps, he sulkily quits, saying what a bad worker he is and that he doesn’t deserve to work there.

He quickly took his job back, though, and after some investigation, discovered on the security footage that the computer keys appeared to be clicking themselves!

In “Ghost Hunter”, Freddie presents Sam and Jay with evidence that their house may be haunted! He buys an assortment of anti-ghost materials to repel, detect, or trap them. Also, much to Sasappis’ dismay, he sold his haunted car whose ghost Sasappis had a burgeoning relationship with.

He baits the Ghost trap with a cookie and while the Ghosts cannot eat, they enjoy smelling food. Despite looking rather dodgy, the trap works, catching Thorfinn and then Flower inside it! Sam and Jay ask him how to release the Ghost trap, but he instead questions them gloatingly about their “sudden” belief in Ghosts. He continues this sneering attitude for the remainder of the episode. After his instructions to Sam to push the button on its side further imperils the Ghosts by activating the Countdown to Evisceration, Pete decides to potentially sacrifice himself to save his friends. The three Ghosts’ combined energy overloads the machine’s capacity and they’re all set free. It was only after this that he revealed that it could be reset by simply turning it off and back on again.

After this adventure, Freddie quits for what appears to be a final time, citing the numerous ways that his time at Woodstone has been bad for him.

• “Look, I read that rave about you in Sippr last month. You’re doing something right here at Woodstone and I just want to be a part of that. And Jay, you shoot the hostage. Speed is the perfect movie and Mr. Keanu Reeves is a national treasure.”(Season 2, Episode 11)

• “I talked to Beth about the whole Brita thing, like you said to. She didn’t take it very well. It escalated into this huge fight and then she broke up with me.” (Season 2, Episode 12)
• On the phone “Woodstone B&B, how May I help you? (Voice breaking) Reservation for Valentine’s Day? Are you sure you want to book that far in advance? Because sometimes, you think your relationship is perfect, but then your girlfriend dumps you and takes the Brita. (Sobbing) And now you’re alone and your water tastes weird!” (Season 2, Episode 12)
• “The system isn’t supposed to allow this. It’s taking on a mind of its own like Joshua in Wargames!” (Season 2, Episode 12)
• “Well, since Beth broke up with me—I didn’t tell you this but she took the hamster, she got Bubbles!” (Season 2, Episode 12)

• “But this is the weirdest thing by far: this is security footage from the front desk the from other night. See that? No one is there, but the keys are moving. Now, you guys are gonna think I’m crazy, but there’s only one plausible explanation for all of this. You guys have… Did you hear me? I said I think you guys have ghosts.” (Season 2, Episode 13)
• “First off, a classic ghost repellant—sage! And This detects electromagnetic energy, which is what ghosts are made up of. We’re all clear!” (Season 2, Episode 13)
• “And finally, the coup de grace, the Ghost Trap 2000. I ordered it online from a Latvian company that specializes in ghost hunting equipment!” (Season 2, Episode 13)
• “So now you think there’s a ghost in the trap! I thought you didn’t believe in ghosts!” (Season 2, Episode 13)
• “Well, Obi-Wan wasn’t really a ghost, per se. Right, but I would argue that’s merely a manifestation of his Force powers.” (Season 2, Episode 13)
• “Uh, I don’t know Latvian! Countdown to evisceration. Oh, that is not good. Unless you’re right and ghosts don’t exist, then we’re fine!” (Season 2, Episode 13)
• “Good news! Turns out you just have to turn it off and turn it back on!” (Season 2, Episode 13)
• “Rough? You guys fired me once, drove me to quit another time, then you bought my old car, which is weird. Not to mention you caused my girlfriend to dump me (this is 100% not true, all Sam said was that he ought to talk to her about it. The fact that he blames her entirely is ridiculous and shows an inability to face up to his own actions). And on top of that, I don’t want to work in a house that I think has ghosts. I’m out of here!” (Season 2, Episode 13)

In “Alberta’s Descendant“, Alicia visits the Woodstone B&B, brought there by Sam’s podcast. She reveals that she’s related to Alberta, that she is her great-grandmother’s sister.

Alberta presses Sam with many questions for her relative, and Alicia reveals that she’s a lawyer and that she’s single, having had problems navigating dating apps with any success. She had made quite a study of her famous relative, regaling Sam and Jay with stories about her smacking a guy with her microphone stand without even breaking her stride. Alberta listened, enraptured to hear how she was remembered.

At Jay’s suggestion, they invite Alicia to be a special guest on their podcast, and she even seemed excited to meet Todd Perlman, Sam’s eccentric cohost. When they meet, sparks immediately fly! They make an excellent first impression as they discover they have much in common. They go on a romantic stroll and agree to a dinner date.

Alberta sees meeting Alicia as an opportunity to guide someone through life and be a parent figure, so she takes it upon herself to protect Alicia from Todd.

During their dinner date, Alicia confesses to Todd that she’d always wished she’d tried taking a chance at a singing career. Todd encourages this, much to Alberta’s disgust. She’s convinced that he’s trying to twist her descendant into a copy of her that he can have.

After Sam reveals a number of Todd’s less savory eccentricities to Alicia, her interest in him quickly cools, although she still maintains her desire to become a singer and sees value in his advice to do so.

Before sitting down to record her episode of the murder podcast, Alicia reveals that after thinking and praying about it over the last night, she has decided to pursue a singing career, and asks Sam and Jay if she might sing a little on the podcast just to get herself out there.

All the while, Alberta has been voicing her objections until she hears Alicia sing. After joining her in a duet of “Someone to Watch Over Me”, she gives her her blessing, realizing that she might just have what it takes to make it.

• Danielle Pinnock and Ashley D. Kelley’s bond runs deeper behind the scenes as both of them are friends and met over 15 years ago at Temple University.

We first meet the Farnsbys in “Dinner Party“, in which Sam and Jay invite them over for dinner to make a better impression on them in order to open the B&B. Henry bores them to tears with his stories about pickleball and town ordinances, while refusing to be swayed from his original impression that the B&B will bring unsavory people and noise to the neighborhood.

At the end of the dinner party, Sam uses information gleaned from the Ghosts to blackmail Henry into approving their zoning application, but that’s not the end of them!

Several months later, in the season finale, “Farnsby & B“, the Farnsbys offer to buy Woodstone Mansion. When Sam and Jay refuse, they open their home as a rival B&B in order to run Sam and Jay out of business, despite hating it instantly. They end up betting it all on a game of pickleball, and losing by a technicality when Henry hurts his back mid-swing.

It’s revealed in “Farnsby & B” that the Farnsby’s home is haunted by the Ghost of a 50s housewife, who is later revealed to be Henry’s mother, Judy.

In Season 2, “The Baby Bjorn“, we discover that the Farnsbys are swingers and host regular get-togethers with others who are similarly inclined, and even invite Sam and Jay to join them (they decline as politely and as expediently as possible).

Thomas Woodstone is introduced in a flashback in ‘The Family Business‘ as Hetty‘s son, when she is already dead but haunting the Woodstone Mansion. In this flashback, Thomas is sitting alone in the room, asking her mother to send a sign, as an answer as if he should marry the girl he is supposed to marry. He doesn’t hear her but she insists he shouldn’t marry her, as she is a money-grubbing harlot.

In order to help Hetty, Thorfinn uses his powers and flashes all the lights in the room. Thomas then, don’t take this sign the right way, and is convinced that his mother told him that he had should marry her.

It’s revealed in “Whodunnit” that Thomas had been in a relationship with Earl, and when Earl told him they were through, Thomas acquired a bottle of poisoned moonshine and left it for Alberta, who drank it and killing her. As we now know that he was the “T” who’d left a note to Earl in a cases of whiskey, putting in writing his intent to get rid of Alberta so they could be together, we can assume that this was something he’d been planning for a while, and had acted on the opportunity that had presented itself that night.

• “Mother, what do you think I should do? Should I marry this girl? Is she the one?” (Season 2, Episode 12)
• “Whoa! Okay, I will marry her.” (Season 2, Episode 12)

Nigel first appears in ‘D&D’ in the year 1777, through the spyglass of a living Capt Isaac Higgintoot, who demonstrates the use of his new invention for spying on officers of the opposing British forces.

At the modern day Woodstone, Sam discovers that Nigel’s ghost, along with ghosts of two enlisted members of his company, are residing in a dilapidated shed on the property. Thinking that the living (Sam) who sees them is intent on damaging the integrity of their abode, Nigel confronts Sam at the home, who is happy to allow the shed to stand and the removed door be replaced. Sam soon discovers that Nigel has been visiting the Woodstone, and negotiating the peace with Isaac, off and on for over two centuries.

Seeing a mutual attraction between the two, Sam encourages Isaac to reveal the ‘secret’ he has been carrying some 250 years regarding Nigel. He does so, confessing he was the sniper who accidentally shot and killed Nigel in 1777. A furious Nigel storms off at this news, leaving Isaac distraught at Nigel’s reaction. Later, Nigel returns to the Woodstone, proclaiming that they are taking over the Woodstone based on the the actions of ‘war criminal’ Isaac in shooting him. Ever the diplomat, Isaac says that if words of negotiation will not work, he and ‘his army’ will defend Woodstone to the ‘bitter end.’ The two opposing forces then move into a futile conflict (a shoving match), most likely due to their ethereal status as ghosts.

When it’s evident their ‘battle’ is failing to achieve their ends, Nigel laments they need something that will resemble real combat, and a board game of ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ is offered up.

In their misery in playing the game, Nigel and Isaac come to terms with what happened in 1777 and their relationship is restored.

In ‘Thorapy,’ it is revealed that Isaac and Nigel have been meeting daily, to walk the grounds and discuss the peace. When Nigel gets word that the ghostly residents will have to surrender their rooms, Nigel invites Isaac to join him in the shed. Shocked at this invitation, Isaac beats a hasty retreat, and later, as a cover for his growing relationship with the British commander, makes a failed attempt at seducing his new roommate Hetty. Later, Isaac confesses to Hetty his affection for Nigel but tells her he is not ready to tell Nigel himself of these feelings.

The last time Nigel appears in Season 1 is in ‘Farnsby & B.’ Using references to ‘Hamilton,’ Hetty convinces Isaac to reveal his feelings to Nigel. When Isaac heads to the shed where the British soldiers are residing, Jenkins tells him that Nigel has been ‘sucked off,’ leaving Isaac grief-stricken.

The episode ends with a furious Nigel storming through the front door of the Woodstone to confront an astonished and confused Isaac. Nigel accuses Isaac of ‘gallivanting’ with ‘his bearded floozy,’ a lie told to him by Jenkins. When Isaac denies the accusation, Nigel tells him that Jenkins and he had a brief tryst 150 years ago and had never gotten over it. After a brief exchange, in which Isaac initially seems indifferent to going beyond a friendship, Isaac tells Nigel, ‘I like you,’ with Nigel replying, ‘Well… I like you too, Isaac.’

Season 2 found Nigel dividing his time between the mansion and the shed. While Thorfinn’s loud and enthusiastic ways are a bit much for Nigel initially, the two grow to bond over the ants in the basement (‘Spies), and later, the ants in the shed.

For the Woodstone Halloween party (‘Halloween 2: The Ghost of Hetty’s Past‘), Isaac invites Nigel to attend with him, who gets the added bonus of being introduced to Isaac’s ghostly power, which Isaac quickly blames on Pete. When Isaac uses his odiferous talent to help stop Jay in order to save Sam from the vault, Nigel tells Isaac he’s disappointed that Isaac couldn’t tell him the truth but expresses admiration that his ghostly power can ‘affect worldly matters.’

As Nigel and Isaac’s relationship grows, so do the complications, with the American Revolution still being one of the major sources of conflict between the two. Nigel subtly voices his objection to two areas of American policy as Sam interviews Isaac, of which he notices and gently confronts Nigel on later. Nigel remains staunchly Loyalist in explaining his opinions, but later agrees with Isaac not to talk about the Revolutionary War, but argue, they do, over where to take their daily walks and even still, the argument goes back to the Revolution. The episode ends with the couple back together, but agreeing to disagree.

The 2022 holiday season brings a dramatic turn to Nigel and Isaac’s relationship. In a beautifully decorated Woodstone (‘The Christmas Spirit: Part 1‘), Nigel’s attention is drawn to a mistletoe when he and Isaac find themselves beneath it. When it looks like they will finally kiss, Isaac gives him a palm-in-the-face, at which time Nigel tells Isaac he is not ready. At the end of the episode, Isaac is given a revelation about his forgiving wife. With that assurance in hand, he goes to the shed and in a commanding and passionate way, kisses Nigel.

As Nigel and Isaac begin dating, and spending more time together, Nigel’s former lover Jenkins reveals to Pete and Thorfinn that the two ‘liasoned’ on Christmas Eve when Nigel and Isaac were temporarily apart (‘Trevor’s Body’). When Isaac tells him of what Jenkins said, Nigel responds that the two were temporarily broken up and on a respite at that time. Nigel tells a furious Isaac he injured his pride, but doubles-down on his ‘respite’ claims. Later, Isaac, in order to get Nigel away from Jenkins, invites Nigel to move into the mansion. Complications arise when Nigel moves in. When learning of Isaac and Hetty’s ‘weekly ponder,’ Nigel asks to join the two (‘A Date to Remember‘). Nigel then hosts a welcome tea to formally introduce himself as a new Woodstone occupant. When the tea party is thrown, and no one arrives, Isaac confronts Hetty, who had thrown a rival party to spite Nigel, because of her jealousy of Nigel’s growing relationship with Isaac. While the two apologize in Isaac’s presence, making him think the two have made peace, the two parties are in fact, at war over a clueless Isaac.

As season 2 progressed, Nigel has grown to become one of Isaac’s biggest sources of support. He celebrated when Isaac’s book was ‘published’ (‘Isaac’s Book’) and stands by him when Isaac insists on being given half of the proceeds of the advance from the book (‘The Heir‘). He also is spending more time with the other ghosts during their discussions, and played a part in helping solve Alberta’s murder (‘Whodunnit’).

Things become more complicated in his dealings with Hetty when Nigel and Nancy discover Hetty and Trevor about to engage in ‘amorous congress’ in the basement at the end of ‘Isaac’s Book.’ When asked by Hetty what it will take to buy Nigel’s silence, he asks for Trevor’s room (‘Alberta’s Descendant’). Later, to achieve an advantage over Nigel — and to preserve her relationship with Trevor — Hetty reveals to the group of her romantic relationship with Trevor, to Nigel’s chagrin (‘Alberta’s Descendant’). Later, tensions seem to be thawing when Hetty and Trevor and Isaac and Nigel share a double date and begin bonding over tea (‘Woodstone’s Hottest Couple’). Later in the episode, Hetty can be found venting to Nigel and Isaac about Trevor.

In the final episode of Season 2, a pivotal change occurs in Nigel and Isaac’s relationship as Nigel becomes distressed over Isaac wanting to buy a daybed from his share of the advance for the book. When Isaac asks Nigel to make him ‘the happiest ghost on the entire property,’ Nigel accepts the proposal and the two become engaged.

• Nigel enjoys watching ants (‘Spies’) and is excited about co-habituating with roaches (‘Trevor’s Body’).
• Nigel’s ant-watching club meets Wednesdays, Saturdays and whenever Sam brings over an apple core (‘Trevor’s Body’).
• Nigel tells Isaac he has webbed feet (‘Halloween 2: The Ghost of Hetty’s Past’).
• Hetty called Nigel a ‘filthy little teapot’ in response to his knowledge of her and Trevor’s involvement with one another (‘Alberta’s Descendant’).
• Nigel was a witness to Al Capone being stopped from drinking the poisoned liquor the night Alberta was poisoned in 1928 (‘Whodunit’)
• Nigel calls Paul Revere a ‘treasonous scoundrel’ (‘Trevor’s Body’) and laughs at Isaac’s comment about Ben Franklin’s physique (‘Alberta’s Descendant).

In “Ghost Father of the Bride“, Crash‘s head is found! At some unspecified point a year ago, Crash lost his head. It was found in a hollow tree on the grounds, leading to an investigation to uncover the culprit! After a solid day of questioning all of the Woodstone Ghosts, Isaac presses Flower into confessing to the crime. Later, however, when Alberta questioned Isaac about a detail he mentioned that wouldn’t have been privy to if he hadn’t been in the room, he finally confessed that he’d done it himself to make an amusing diversion to pass the time.

We next see Crash sitting with Flower, watching tv together when he tells her how much he missed her and starts singing a song he wrote for her. Flower responds by removing his head again and tossing it out the window!

• In ‘Pilot‘, Crash is portrayed by Hudson Thames. Crash returned very briefly in the background in ‘Halloween‘, without being credited. To the delight of fans, Crash is back in ‘Trevor’s Pants‘ but it’s actor Matt Kayes who is playing the character’s body for this episode. If this name or this face means something to you, it’s normal: Matt Kayes  was already in the series once; he played one of the paramedic in ‘Alberta’s Fan‘ (screen capture 1, screen capture 2). Alex Boniello is the third actor to play Crash in the series, in “Ghost Father of the Bride“.

Elias is a haughty, pompous, unrepentant man of many vices. He was also terrible with money; bribing the local priest to “guarantee” him passage to heaven, paying a mob to break up a union that had formed in one of his factories, and spending $5,000 (in 1890s money, that would be near a million today) on a fancy pocket watch. He is demeaning to Hetty, and women in general, often citing their supposed inferiority.

Elias died from being locked in a secret vault he had built, due to a question of payment as well as the paternity of the builder’s child, as Elias and the builder’s wife had been having an affair. Upon being released, in “The Vault”, Elias walks through first a catering assistant and then Liz, a friend of Sam and Jay who is getting married at the B&B the next day. In both cases, it causes the women to flirt with the first man they see, leading to some uncomfortable situations.

Elias soon realizes that his “obedient wife” is nowhere to be found and in her place is a woman who speaks her mind to him. He decides this terrible change is the influence of Sam and is determined to get rid of her for good by ruining the wedding. He walks through Sam and Jay, causing them to flirt hard with the groom, leading to the dissolution of their friendship, and losing them as clients.

Having done his worst, Elias gloats, and in doing so reveals that he has a very precious timepiece on his ghostly person, which Sam realizes means that the real watch must be on his corpse! Jay reluctantly gets it off of his body and the Livings will use it to make payments on their debt and will not have to move (yet!)

Elias isn’t finished, though, he vows to cause sexual chaos no matter what event is held at the B&B, determined to run them out of business. Hetty makes a final plea for him to try to change and grow, saying that having known her fellow ghosts as well as Sam and Jay has helped her change for the better. Elias scoffed at that suggestion and vowed to never change. To which his wife tells him that in that case, he can go to Hell. The next moment, a glowing red hole opens in the floor and Elias is sucked down into it! Much screaming ensues!

In “Weekend from Hell“, Elias returns on a 48 hour furlough for good behavior. While here, he wishes to secure Hetty’s forgiveness for his numerous misdeeds. If she forgives him, he gets a reprieve from Hell and may return to the Woodstone Mansion.

He initially appears contrite and wishing to amend his ways, but that act soon falls apart when he tricks Pete into selling his soul in a nefarious deal. Pete’s only hope now lies in Hetty signing Elias’ forgiveness contract in exchange for his soul.

They quickly discover that despite her agreement to do so, Hetty can’t sign his forgiveness contract if she’s not sincere. He therefore begins enumerating all of his acts against her and apologizing for them to win her true forgiveness. Eventually, Hetty finds that it’s better for herself to forgive him. Her signature works, Pete is released from his deal, and Elias is released from Hell. However, Sam reminds him that if he misbehaves, she will have Thorfinn throw him back in the vault! A fate worse than Hell!

As Jay is presenting a meal to an esteemed food critic, Elias makes the announcement that he is returning to Hell because it won’t be any fun for him to be under threat from Thorfinn.

The next day as the portal to Hell reopens, Elias bids them all farewell, but makes one last attempt to snatch Pete! Pete, however, remembers Thorfinn’s self-defense advice and breaks free, sending Elias back down to Hell by himself!

When Sasappis first told his father of his desire to be a storyteller, he was not supportive initially, stating that he was worried that his son may not have the gift of storytelling. Native people did not record their histories in writing but rather in pictures and in the memories of tribal members. Stories were often how histories were passed down through a series of trained individuals who were selected in their youth. This was a great responsibility and only reserved for those who had the gift. Naxasi said that he too wanted to be a storyteller but did not have the gift and did not want Sasappis to experience the same disappointment. He instead encouraged his son to try something safer, something that he was already skilled in, like hunting or fighting. Sasappis tells Sam that he too experienced fear of failure because he allowed his father’s fears to transfer onto him, causing him to be fearful prior to his first time telling stories at the Fall Harvest Ceremony. When Sasappis tells his father about his anxiety, Naxasi explains to him that he initially was discouraging because of his own failure at storytelling. He states that he didn’t have the gift, but that his son did and that he knew this because he watched him grow up. He then gifted his son an eagle feather representing bravery and courage to help Sasappis overcome his anxiety.

• Naxasi is actually played by Román Zaragoza (Sasappis) real father, Gregory Zaragoza.

Molly is a pretty young Irish woman who’d worked as a maid at Woodstone Mansion in life. Her husband had died working in a mill owned by Hetty and Elias. She was repeatedly taken advantage of by her employer, but she put up with it simply to keep a roof over her head and to care for her child.

She was quite happy with her afterlife, describing it as “remarkable” and “perfect all the time”, but said that she couldn’t go into greater detail or else she’d melt.

Being dead also appeared to free her tongue in regards to how she spoke to Hetty, telling her what a cruel boss she’d been, something she certainly wouldn’t have dared say to her in life. While she was trapped in the vault with Hetty and Sam, she revealed that she never seduced Elias, but rather he’d pursued her. She was delighted to hear that Hetty sent him to Hell and in turn she revealed that she’d given Elias syphilis rather than the other way around.

Molly had apparently led a good and fulfilled life, because she’d been sucked off after her death, but was called back against her will during a Halloween seance.

When she and Hetty see each other, they waste no time picking up exactly where they left off over a century ago. Hetty is furious that Molly had been allowed to ascend while she stayed behind, despite Molly being “the adulterer” and Hetty having remained faithful.

Molly is no happier to be faced with her old employer.

In order to get them to talk to each other about their problems, Sam takes Flower’s advice to lock them in a room together until they can sort themselves out. The only room they can to that in is the vault, built out of a material impenetrable by Ghosts. Unfortunately, Flower accidentally locks Sam in with them, endangering her life in the process!

Now all locked in together, they have no choice but to actually talk things through. Molly reveals to an incredulous Hetty that she wasn’t Elias’s seductress, rather that he’d pursued her against her will, but she felt like she couldn’t refuse and still keep her job. As a young widow with a child to take care of, she didn’t have many options in life. These revelations helped Hetty soften toward her as they drew on their common ground: hating Elias! Hetty bragged that she’d sent her husband to Hell, while Molly replied that she’d given him syphilis! The two gleefully bonded over this.

The two women finally get closure and Molly is sucked off again at Sam and Jay’s reverse seance.

Bjorn is a Viking ghost, dressed in leather and animal pelts like his father. Also like his father, beneath Bjorn’s rough and forbidding exterior is a good and loving soul. Originally incredulous about why Sam could see and talk to him, he seemed eager to tell her his story to pass along to his long-lost father. He had made the long journey to find out what happened when he never came home. Bjorn even kept Thorfinn’s parting gift that he gave him as a child, a keen dagger and leather sheath.

Growing up without his father’s influence, he was never taught to hate Danes, and so married a Danish girl, Alma.

Across all the obstacles that separate them, Bjorn wanted nothing more but to see his father again and tell him he loved him.

Much to Thorfinn’s dismay, it’s revealed that Bjorn married a Dane, the sworn enemy of their people, and gave his three children Danish names in turn. Despite what was originally perceived as an act of great betrayal, father and son shouted their love for each other across the property lines that separate them.

Jessica is very pretty, apart from the bloody head wound and glass shard from her accident, and wasted no time flirting with Sasappis. The interest proved mutual and they struck up a quick acquaintance. This relationship continues in “The Family Business“. They meet up in the car while Freddie is working to chat and eventually kiss.

Unfortunately, after she tells Sasappis about a few attractive male ghosts she knows, he becomes jealous and storms off. He later returns to apologize. She assures him that she’s not seeing anyone but him and he promises to trust her.

Jessica appears to be the most recently dead of all the Ghosts. She died in a car accident following brunch with her friends. Originally claiming that Freddie killed her in a hit-and-run and threw her body in the woods, it’s later revealed that she had been driving under the influence and hit a telephone pole. Freddie bought the car at a used car lot afterward. Her ghost power is the ability to set off the car’s alarm since the keys were in her pocket when she died. Since she died in a car accident, she remains bound to the car and a 5 foot radius.

“Ghost Hunter” opens up with the reveal that Freddie sold his old car that Jessica was bound to, so she and Sasappis pressure Sam and Jay to buy it back so they can be together. After realizing how dull it will be to spend her afterlife parked in the yard, she and Sasappis eventually realize that she’s better off on the open road with the musician who bought her car.

Judy Farnsby died quite young, as seems to be common with Ghosts. She’s a brassy-voiced 50s housewife with strong opinions on how her son lives. She loudly disapproves of him selling her things at his yard sale, as well as being part of a swinger society. Blaming herself and her absence from his life, she’s frustrated at what she’s made to witness.

David was one of Trevor‘s coworkers and friends, of unsavory habits and boasting a party boy attitude like the rest of them. He was described by Hetty as being kind of a louse. The most compassion that he’s shown for his friends was when he suggested they call an ambulance when Trevor died of a drug misadventure at Woodstone Mansion. This suggestion was dismissed.

The night comes, and David opens Woodstone’s secret drug drawer announcing, “The game is pill roulette.” You pick a color and take one and see what happens. Trevor wants a green one for T-Money but there isn’t one so he grabs both a blue and yellow pill to make green. It’s the night Trevor died of a heart attack, without his friends making anything but dumping his body in nearby lake.

We find out in “The Heir” that Ari had dared David to dip his testicles into hot coffee, sterilyzing him from that day forward. This was an important piece of information, since it was later used to disprove Kelsey‘s claim to Woodstone Mansion. David, relating this story as a ghost to Sam, bore Ari no ill will for the incident, treating it as one of their many boyish pranks.

He died having an aneurysm while in the intimate company of a stripper at a seedy strip club. He admittedly enjoys his afterlife, and even asks Sam if she’s sure that this wasn’t heaven. It’s clear that he didn’t live much longer than Trevor, as he looks just the same as how he appeared in “Trevor’s Pants“.

Not much is known about Nancy’s living history. Originally from Albany, NY, she was a victim of Cholera and based on the time of the Cholera pandemic in the mid-1800s, she probably lived sometime in the 19th century. After she got sick, she was put inside a pest house, which was meant to quarantine those who become ill with communicable diseases. Nancy is introduced in “Sam’s Mom.” After Sam and Jay leave for Ohio and neglect to leave the remote control within the Ghosts’ reach, Sasappis accidentally reveals that Pete has a thing for Alberta. Pete panics and tells everyone that he has a girlfriend who lives in the basement. To stick with this lie, Pete goes downstairs to ask for any volunteers to play his girlfriend. While the other Ghosts bemoan being upstairs, claiming that the Ghosts up there are mean and rude and that the space is too light and airy, Nancy cheerfully volunteers, telling the other Cholera Ghosts hosts that she does not want to spend eternity depressed, and standing around in a dark, dismal basement and the only conversation among them revolves around the water heater. She makes it clear that while she will help him, she is in no way attracted to Pete. Once she is introduced to the other ghosts upstairs, she creates an outlandish story of how they met and tells everyone how they had been sneaking around for so long. When Pete tries to take her back downstairs, Nancy refuses telling him that she wants to stay upstairs and that he had better get used to her, which at first sounds menacing. As Nancy gets to know the other ghosts, telling them wild, but untrue, stories about her and Pete, Alberta confesses that she wishes she could’ve been treated as well in life as Pete assumably treats Nancy in the afterlife. When Sam comes home, she meets Nancy whom Pete introduces as his girlfriend who stays in his room and states sadly that they are inseparable.

At the beginning of the next episode, “Jay’s Sister,” Nancy wakes up in Pete’s bed, exclaiming how wonderful it was to sleep in a bed. Pete is laying uncomfortably on the floor next to the bed, stating that he could’ve used a pillow. He gets up, obviously sore from sleeping on the floor, and asks Nancy to rub a knot out of his shoulder. She immediately refuses, reminding him that this is a fake relationship and she will not be touching any of his man parts, inclusive of his shoulders. When Pete volunteers to allow Jay’s sister, Bela, who is visiting from out of town, to stay in his room, Nancy gets mad at him and calls him a pushover. Just having gotten used to sleeping on a proper bed, Nancy is determined to keep her newfound comfortable after-lifestyle at all costs and bullies Pete into demanding that one of the other ghosts give up their room instead. She tells him that he shouldn’t always be the one to sacrifice for the sake of the greater good and tells him that if he doesn’t get “their” room back, she will tell everyone their relationship is fake and that he likes Alberta. With Nancy’s support and help, a nervous Pete tells the other Ghosts that he does not want to sleep in the moldy room and asks for one of the other ghosts to take it instead, claiming that it’s time for him to get what he wants for once. However, upon seeing his friends fighting over who will take the moldy room, he becomes concerned which then frustrates Nancy. She claims that he is about to once again give in and let the others get their way. He then tells her that he compromises so that he can model how to be a good friend to other ghosts, as he does not like to see anyone fight. This is not satisfactory to Nancy, as she continues to nag and push him.

Finally, Pete loses his temper with Nancy and breaks up with her, stating that he is done listening to her and tired of her bullying. To his surprise, Nancy is not at all upset but is impressed by his new-found bravado, announces that she is going back down to the basement due to breaking up with her real boyfriend, and tells Pete how proud she is of him for standing his ground.

In “Woodstone’s Hottest Couple” Nancy seeing how distraught Stephanie is about being alone, introduces her to another teenage ghost that stays in the basement named Ralph.

• Nancy claims that another pit ghost, Stuart, gave her Cholera. However, according to the New York State Department of Health, cholera “is spread by eating or drinking food or water contaminated by the feces (poop) of an infected person. This occurs more often in underdeveloped countries lacking proper water supplies and sewage disposal. It is not likely that cholera is spread directly from one person to another.” So while it’s likely that maybe they ate the same contaminated meal or that maybe he served her contaminated food, it’s less likely he gave her the disease.

You told me yourself you never get to pick the movie on movie night. And you’re always the caboose on the massage train. Why can’t it be a circle? That way, everyone gets their man parts rubbed. You start standing up for yourself and get our room back or I will tell everyone that our relationship is fake and that you have a huge crush on Alberta!” (Season 1, Episode 12)
