Go To

Original air date: 10/7/2021

After tumbling down the stairs and receiving a nasty concussion, Sam now has the ability to see and hear the ghosts. Unfortunately, Sam thinks she's losing it and tries to ignore them, causing the ghosts to take drastic measures to acknowledge they're the real deal.


Tropes:

  • Comically Small Demand: When Sam finally demands a compromise from the ghosts to allow everyone to coexist in peace in the house, she asks what each of the ghosts want. The requests range from the removal of a portrait of a spouse (Hetty), to watching specific television programs (Thorfinn), to just saying "hello" (Pete).
  • I See Dead People: What convinces Sam that she is not just imagining the ghosts is that she can see other dead people, away from the house.
  • Shout-Out: Sam calls Hetty "Downton Abbey" and Trevor "Wolf of Wall Street" when she is listening to their demands.
  • Wham Line: Sam sees a doctor about seeing ghosts.
    Doctor: It is quite rare but I've seen it before. The last time was around... 85 years ago.
    Samantha: Wait, h-how old are you?
    Doctor: Well, I was about 50 when I died...
