Original air date: 3/3/2022

The ghosts need to make arrangements as some of the rooms are renovated, which is complicated by Thorfinn's night terrors; Isaac tries to hide the fact that he's attracted to men.


Tropes:

  • All Therapists Are Muggles: The therapist doesn't know about ghosts, so Sam acts like she's the one with the problem and repeats what Thorfinn says to her. She later does the same with Alberta.
  • A Day in the Limelight: We learn more about Thorfinn's life after his abandonment, and that his nightmares are due to his guilt of killing his friend Oskar, who was a squirrel, after he went hungry during a harsh winter.
  • Reverse Psychology: Upon learning the ghosts would have to share rooms, Sasappis tricks Trevor into bunking with Thorfinn this way, knowing fully well the Viking has violent night terrors.
    Sasappis: [After Sam suggests he moved in with Thorfinn] "And I'll be the first to say that I do want that very badly. I mean who doesn't want a room with Thor? You know he's got the biggest room and more importantly that TV—"
    Trevor: "I call it! I'm rooming with Thor."
    Sasappis: "Darn it."
    [One restless night later]
    Trevor: [Barges into the kitchen] "I know that I'm already dead but, kill me."
    Sasappis: [Chipperly walks in] "Gooood morning! Man that coffee smells delicious."
    Trevor: "Wait a minute. You never wanted to room with Thor in the first place did you? You trick me, you knew about the nightmares!"
  • Wake Up Fighting: Thorfinn has a recurring nightmare, and every time he wakes from it he swings his axe. Fortunately, since the others are already ghosts, he does no harm (though Travis mentions that it does hurt).
