Spoilers for Ghosts Season 4, Episode 22 – “The Satan Went Right down to Woodstone” – are forward! To look at all of Ghosts whereas we anticipate Season 5, you possibly can stream it with a Paramount+ subscription.
Nicely, Persistence was proper. There was a demonic presence haunting Woodstone Manor, and sadly, Jay made a take care of him within the closing episode of Ghosts’ fourth season. Yep, that’s proper, Elias Woodstone returned to the home to proceed his evil plot, and it was revealed that Jay had not signed a take care of a publicist named Brett. He had really signed a contract with Elias, which implies Utkarsh Ambudkar’s character may very well be doomed.
Now, that leaves us with quite a bit to determine going into Season 5 (which is able to premiere this fall on the 2025 TV schedule). Nonetheless, I’ve one particular burning query about this deal that’s sitting proper on the high of my thoughts that I want to debate.
Jay Unkowningly Made A Deal With The Satan (I Imply, Elias)
We have been warned that Ghosts’ Season 4 finale would make us “slightly mad,” and I’d say that’s appropriate. Whereas no spirit was sucked off (like we thought Flower was final season), Jay is between a rock and a tough place, and dying is knocking at his door…actually. That’s as a result of Elias is coming after him to reap his soul after getting “a promotion in Hell,” as Hetty put it.
Whereas Jay thought he’d signed a take care of a publicist for his new restaurant, that scenario wound up being too good to be true, and he made a take care of the satan as an alternative, as Elias defined:
Your spouse is appropriate, really. Though me as Brett McAfee, a hard-working publicist, I’m in actual fact Elias Woodstone, an emissary for the satan. While you signed the contract to rent me, in change for making your desires come true, I secured your soul for Devil…I advised you all I’d not relaxation till I reaped a soul from this home.
Now, “sadly, what’s carried out is completed,” and Elias promised Jay that he doesn’t have a lot time left. Whereas that’s scary and all, it does open a enjoyable door going into Season 5, and it begs the query: Will we get to see Hell?
So, Does This Imply We’ll Get To See Hell In Season 5?
For probably the most half, we’ve stayed at Woodstone Manor on Ghosts. Nonetheless, with Pete’s new boundaryless energy, the world has expanded a bit. Now, Jay’s spooky deal presents another choice for growth…to Hell.
That’s proper, I’m questioning if this improvement between Jay and Elias will result in the underworld. We’ve seen Hetty’s outdated husband pop forwards and backwards from that unhealthy place on quite a few events. Nonetheless, we haven’t been there ourselves.
This new relationship with Jay and Elias might actually open this door for us, and I’m very hopeful it might occur. It’d be so amusing to see Ukarsh Ambudkar’s character traverse Hell, and it’d be even funnier to look at the ghosts attempt to save him. Plus, it’d give us one other doubtlessly foolish and engaging new world to discover.
On the very least, we all know some devilish enjoyable can be had in Season 5 as Elias tries to reap Jay’s soul, and I can’t anticipate all these shenanigans. Nonetheless, I’m additionally hoping that this new plot improvement brings us a brand new setting too, as a result of this devilish door is simply too tempting to not stroll via.
