Spoilers for Ghosts Season 4, Episodes 8 and 9 – “A Very Arondekar Christmas” – are forward. Should you aren’t caught up, you’ll be able to stream the festive episodes with a Paramount+ subscription.
Ghosts wrapped up its run on the 2024 TV schedule with a festive and stunning bang as our man Jay FINALLY bought to see all of the ghosts who reside in his home. Nevertheless, it got here with a catch…and he seemingly wasn’t capable of completely take a look at the spirits. Now, that disenchanted me at first. Nevertheless, the extra I thought of it, the extra I cherished that he’s nonetheless not capable of see them, as a result of I believe it’ll have a very humorous affect on the remainder of Season 4.
To recap shortly, Jay bought to see the ghosts, due to a possession gone flawed. Proper earlier than his dad and mom bought to the home, his and Sam’s water heater broke. Whereas making an attempt to repair it, Utkarsh Ambudkar’s character was by chance electrocuted and he was fired again into Pete whereas Sam fell into Nancy.
As I predicted, these Christmas episodes closely featured possession, nevertheless, the problem of Pete being in Jay was sudden. Sam simply needed to drive off the property to get Nancy out of her. In the meantime, it was extra sophisticated for Pete and Jay, as a result of – as Pete mentions anytime he can – he’s not certain to the home. After that, an exorcism to get Pete out went horribly flawed, and the ghost ended up staying in Jay’s physique whereas Jay’s consciousness was expelled from it.
That’s why our favourite non-ghost-seeing human was capable of see the ghosts.
Clearly, this was an enormous drawback and Jay wanted to be again in his physique, which meant when he bought again he in all probability wouldn’t be capable of see the spirits.
So, as soon as Pete bought out of Jay’s physique, zombie Jay was activated and yet one more safe-ish electrocution occurred, Jay lastly turned human once more – that means he couldn’t see the ghosts.
Now, I can not wait to see how this impacts the remainder of the season. We’d been ready for Jay to see the ghosts for thus lengthy, and I had anticipated it to be a everlasting change when it occurred. Nevertheless, it seems to be solely short-term, which provides a brand new layer to the continued joke that Jay can’t see the spirits.
I like that he now is aware of what they appear like and that he can completely image them now. I can see Utkarsh Ambudkar firing off some hilarious traces about what he’s imagining them doing with right particulars, and I believe his character would possibly begin to harbor a little bit of jealousy as a result of he is aware of what it’s wish to see the ghosts now.
Now, nothing is left to the creativeness, and it opens the door for extra commentary from Sam’s husband when she relays one thing the ghosts say. I like that for everybody, and I believe it’ll add a contemporary component and a few depth to the present since we’ve gotten so used to the cut-and-dry indisputable fact that Sam can see the ghosts whereas Jay can’t.
Our boy is aware of what they appear like now, he can poke extra enjoyable at them, and perhaps this possession will result in even greater developments that permit Jay to speak with the spirits a bit extra.
Actually, I can’t wait to see how the present evolves from this level, as a result of I believe we’re headed in a brand new and thrilling path! To see what occurs subsequent, you’ll be able to tune again into Season 4 of Ghosts when it returns to the 2025 TV schedule and CBS on Thursday, January 30 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
