Hetty accidentally possesses Jay's body just as he and Sam are about to show Woodstone Mansion to a renowned wedding planner.


Tropes:

  • Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: When the gang needs to exorcise Hetty from Jay so he can cook for the wedding planner, they look up a video of how to perform an at-home exorcism. At the end of the video, the hostess asks her viewers to check out her other two videos, "DIY Vampire Killing" and "Rom Com Writing Made Easy."
  • Closed Circle: Any ghost that attempts to cross the property line is turned around by an invisible barrier that leads them back inside. This is how Hetty is freed from inside Jay's body; when she tries to drive to Paris: she is repelled by the barrier and knocked out of Jay's body, while Jay narrowly avoids crashing into a tree.
  • Demonic Possession: Jay gets shocked trying to fix a lamp fixture and falls on Hetty, who ends up inside Jay's body. Jay alternates between being himself and being controlled by Hetty, which causes confusion when a wedding planner comes to check out the house as a possible wedding venue. Isaac explains that he once unwittingly possessed a man under similar circumstances, and needed to be exorcised. The dilemma is solved once Hetty tries to escape in Jay's car and is pushed out of Jay's body by the barrier that holds the ghosts within the property.
  • Not Himself: Jay acts strangely due to Hetty's possession of him, just as a wedding planner comes to inspect the house and try Jay's menu for the reception.
  • Sense Freak: Hetty can taste food for the first time in 130 years, so she gorges on everything she sees.
