The cast discover a ghost haunting the house, then learn that their own human selves still have spirits wandering with unfinished business.
Tropes:
- Arbitrary Skepticism: Nandor, Laszlo, and Colin Robinson, three different vampires who have met werewolves, necromancers, zombies, babadooks, etc., don't believe in ghosts. Guillermo attempts to question this, but they don't get his point.
- Bilingual Bonus: Nandor's ghost speaks Farsi throughout the episode."Where am I? Whose house is this?""Who are you? Eat my sword!""Sir, where's my horse? You don't understand what I'm saying to you?""Good morning? So you DO understand what I'm saying? Where is my horse?""This donkey doesn't even understand his own language. Shame is a good thing to have. Oh! There is my horse! My horse, Jahan.""My honey. My dear."
- Nadja's ghost also speaks Greek at her, although not as extensively because apparently Nadja was already bilingual in English before she died. Her Greek dialogue mostly comes in the form of Foreign Cuss Words, like "melaka" ("idiot" or "wanker"), "Panagia Mou!" ("My Virgin (Mary)!", i.e. "My God!") and condescendingly calling Vampire!Nadja "vre paidi mou" ("my child").
- The incantation that Nadja uses for the seance is also a real incantation in ancient Greek, which the creative team double-checked with a professor for accuracy.
- Call-Back: Nandor's ghost's somewhat colorful phrasing in Farsi "Eat my sword!" comes a short time after Vampire!Nandor screaming "Get ready to swallow my sword!" to Jeff's ghost in English.
- Creepy Doll: Possessed by Nadja's human ghost.
- The Fog of Ages: Apparently Nandor has forgotten how to speak his own first language after years of disuse.
- Future Me Scares Me: Nadja's ghost can't help but be disgusted by the shiftless layabout that her vampiric self has become.
- Horrifying the Horror: Ghost Gregor/Jeff actually manages to frighten the vampires when he transforms his decapitated head into a demonic face.
- I See Dead People: Seemingly played straight at first, with Laszlo not being able to see the ghost of Gregor/Jeff that Nadja is talking to. It's quickly revealed that he was just pretending not to see him, as the minute he's out of their eyesight, he rushes to Nandor to warn him.
- Literal Split Personality: This episode brings us the provocative addition to vampire lore that, because a vampire is a soulless undead version of the living human that they once were, their human soul must exist as a separate entity, and thanks to the Dark and Troubled Past that leads to becoming a vampire, might well have survived as a ghost with Unfinished Business. Our main vampire characters all get the chance for some Character Development by confronting a version of themselves as they were when they were human.
- Lost Language: Nandor has a language barrier with his ghost, having only remembered how to say "Good morning" in his native tongue.
- Meaningful Echo: Nandor only remembers how to say "Good morning" in his own language, which initially confuses and enrages his ghost. When Nandor summons the ghost of Jahan the horse to reunite with his ghost self, the two say "Good morning" in parting as a means of farewell, in the understanding that Jahan can finally be at peace with his ghost self and move on.
- Screw Yourself: Ghost!Laszlo seems to think that Vampire!Laszlo is the only one who can give him his final orgasm. It seems to be the one sexual act he isn't interested in doing, and he refrains from mentioning any of it.
- "Shaggy Dog" Story: The inciting incident of this episode, Jeff/Gregor's ghost reappearing and demanding Nadja help him with his unfinished business, goes completely unresolved— despite his apparent torment, Nadja's decided that she has no more time for any man but her husband, and he meekly lets himself get chased off.
- Sure, Let's Go with That: Nadja asks if the slime covering the room is ectoplasm and Laszlo quickly affirms that yes, that's exactly what it is.
- Unfinished Business: The four ghosts each have a reason for their being:
- Gregor/Jeff wants to please Nadja and be with her.
- Nadja's ghost wants to make sure she is living her fullest life, and remains in a doll to see it happen.
- Nandor wishes to be reunited with his horse, whom he was forced to eat.
- Laszlo wants to finish the sexual climax he was denied in life.
- Unusual Euphemism: One of the Bilingual Bonus moments in this episode is Nandor's ghost cursing with the word "Shambalileh!", which is the name for the herb fenugreek.
- What's a Henway?: Colin Robinson tries several times to land the "Updog" variant. He resorts to summoning his grandmother's spirit just to get a proper reaction.
