Divorced woman Molly finds a ghost trapped in the attic and pushes him into scaring her ex-husband to death. However, the plan may come with consequences that she wasn't ready to pay.
This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
- The Alcoholic: Molly already has experience with spirits of a different kind before finding the ghost. She is seen drinking multiple times during the episode, including a post-victory martini.
- And I Must Scream: Charlie gets scared to death by the ghost. Then the ghost takes his body and leaves him in the attic, presumably as unable to leave it as he used to be.
- Bolivian Army Ending: The episode ends with the ghost using Charlie's body to attack Molly.
- Divorce Is Temporary: Molly assumes that she can talk Charlie into coming back to her, but he tells her it's over and he's seeing someone new. This removes any doubt she had remaining about the plan.
- Evil Tainted the Place: Molly's new house had remained empty for decades beforehand thanks to a haunting supposedly related to a police shootout that ended with a bank robber dead. Molly scoffs at it, but it turns out the bank robber is indeed still there, and he's still very willing to engage in criminal activity.
- Fright Deathtrap: Molly nags the ghost into scaring her ex-husband to death (which she has reason to think will work, given his bad heart). It works, but then the ghost possesses the corpse.
- Gone Horribly Right: Molly asks for the ghost of a criminal trapped in the attic of her house to kill her cold-hearted ex-husband for her. He does so - and proceeds to swap places with him, trapping the husband's soul in the attic while taking control of his body. He then proceeds to attack the woman for being such an annoying nag.
- Haunted House: Molly got the new house she moved into for cheap because it's supposed to have a ghost in it. The ghost, the spirit of a bank robber killed in a shootout, really exists.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Molly sends her ex-husband up to the attic on a pretext so the ghost can scare him to death. Unfortunately, doing so allows the ghost to get out of the attic and kill her.
- Kill It with Fire: When the ghost isn't keen on helping her get revenge on her ex, Molly threatens to burn the house down, which might hurt or kill him since he's bound to the attic.
- Possessing a Dead Body: The ghost scares Charlie to death, as Molly asked. However, then he uses Charlie's body to escape the attic and kill her for disturbing his peace.
- Woman Scorned: Molly wants to win her ex-husband back in the beginning, but after he tells her he's found someone else (who is waiting for him while he talks to her the first time), she kills him.
