What I’m Watching: Ghosts

Ghosts: Season 2, Episode 15 “A Date to Remember” (B+)

I’ve been curious about how Flower’s mind works since she seems to forget everything all the time due to how high she always was when she was alive and the nature of her death, but apparently she’s able to use that to her advantage too. Pretending to forget the date threatened to make Thor want to repeat it over and over for eternity until it stuck, but she gave away that it was all a ruse when Sam, Jay, and Thor couldn’t remember what Sam’s planted improv suggestion for Pete was and she accidentally offered it up. Getting to see a more serious side of her was a nice treat, and it’s good that Thor reacted in the right way. Jay is right that they need to start establishing more boundaries with the ghosts so that they can focus on themselves, and it was the least Thor could do to serve as a bouncer and ensure that the other ghosts didn’t bother Sam with petty requests while she was finally getting to enjoy a night alone with Jay after repeated cancellations got them banned from his favorite restaurant. I knew that Nigel asking to join Hetty and Isaac for their weekly ponder was going to stir up trouble, and Hetty planning a rival party so that no one showed up to Nigel’s tea party had exactly the effect she wanted. The two of them apologizing to Isaac and then reiterating their distaste for each other when he left was a great moment in what’s sure to be a long-standing rivalry that will be very entertaining to watch.
