In the event you’re a fan of the CBS collection Ghosts and also you’re not being attentive to the opening credit every season, you’re lacking out on a very good little bit of enjoyable that the present has yearly. Whereas some components of the tremendous transient intro stay fixed year-to-year – the flickering mild representing Thorfinn’s powers and a jiggling tea cup indicating Trevor’s presence – numerous objects are scattered across the body that trace at sure plot developments in each run. This custom has continued into the 2025 TV calendar, and the rationale behind many of the easter eggs has been revealed… however with two episodes to go, there’s one that is still a thriller.
Earlier than we dig into the puzzle piece that is still enigmatic, nevertheless, let’s first talk about the entire revelations that we’ve seen up to now in Ghosts Season 4.
The Ghosts Season 4 Easter Eggs That Have Been Defined
Wanting on the screenshot above, Ghost followers will be aware that there are a complete of 9 objects which can be new to the opening credit, and I’ve damaged down what they’re and what they imply under:
The Playbill: Sam’s Efficiency With The Hudson Valley Gamers
Beginning within the high proper on the bookshelf, you’ll make be aware of a Playbill for a efficiency of the musical Something Goes. It is a reference to the fifth episode of Ghosts Season 4, “A Star Is Useless,” which sees an area performing troupe known as the Hudson Valley Gamers hire out the manor’s ballroom (and after overcoming some previous performance-related trauma, Sam turns into part of the present).
Shamrock Pillow: Hetty’s Irish Heritage And St. Patrick’s Day Energy
The total which means behind the shamrock pillow was solely revealed very not too long ago. In “The Not-So-Silent Companion,” Hetty is revealed to have Irish heritage, and whereas we needed to wait just a few episodes for that trivia to repay, followers discovered in “St. Hetty’s Day” that her ghost energy is the power to seem to the residing on St. Patrick’s Day.
Snow Globe: Pete’s Christmas Present To His Daughter
One of many sweeter easter eggs, the snow globe is a reference to the two-parter “A Very Arondekar Christmas.” When Pete learns that his daughter, Laura, is transferring to Australia, he finally ends up happening an journey that concludes with him getting Laura a snow globe as a goodbye/Christmas current (a practice from her childhood).
French Fries: Jay’s Sonic Obsession
Jay’s unhealthy obsession with Sonic is just not a canon element that was revealed in Ghosts Season 4, however French fries are possible one other callback to “A Very Arondekar Christmas.” When Jay turns into a soulless zombie after a botched exorcism, Sam is ready to lure him to the manor’s defective sconce with a fry, and the next electrocution permits Jay’s physique to reunite along with his spirit.
The Meteor Underneath Glass: Worshiped By Flower’s Cult
The story behind the meteor fragment lined in a cloche could be discovered within the twelfth episode, “It is the Finish of the World as We Know It and What Have been We Speaking About?” Flower has made reference to being part of a cult commonly, nevertheless it’s revealed in Season 4 that the group believed a meteor was going to destroy the world on February 13, 2025.
Snail: Escarghost
Is there a bug development growing within the Ghosts opening credit? Season 3’s featured the butterfly that lured Flower into the nicely, and Season 4’s snail is a reference to Escarghost – the ghost of a snail that’s found on the property in “The Major Supply” (it will get sucked off in the identical episode).
Vampire Enamel: Isaac Higgentooth, Vampire
“The Major Supply” can also be the episode that reveals why there’s a set of faux vampire enamel within the Ghosts Season 4 opening. When Sam realizes that she will’t show that something is true within the guide that she has written in regards to the life and instances of Isaac Higgintoot, she is compelled by her writer to pivot the tome in a brand new path: as a substitute of being non-fiction, it turns into historic horror and has Isaac portrayed as a vampire.
The Portray: Thor’s House
I’ll be sincere and say that that is the one easter egg I’m least positive about… however I’m fairly positive that the portray within the fourth season is tied to “Thorapy 2: Abandonment Points.” Within the episode, Pete makes the journey to Norway to attempt to get solutions about why Thorfinn was left behind by his Viking brethren, and what’s featured within the body appears to be like prefer it might undoubtedly be a Norwegian fjord.
That’s eight easter eggs sorted to this point… however there’s nonetheless another to go.
We’re Nonetheless Ready For The That means Behind The Cherry Pie
The one merchandise but to be defined within the opening credit is the one that’s arguably probably the most distinguished: a slice of cherry pie with a dollop of whipped cream on a plate. The scrumptious desert has not but been part of any tales within the latest run, and realizing the present’s historical past and tendencies, it might have a big impression within the rapid future.
The titles of the ultimate two episodes in Ghosts Season 4 are “His Lady Shiki” and “Smooching and Smushing”… so might the cherry pie have some form of romantic side to it? Maybe Jay cooks one up as an fragrant desert for a date between Sasappis and Shiki (who we haven’t seen since Season 2)?
The extra on the market concept I’ll posit is that it has one thing to do with Stephanie ––the promenade ghost who spends many of the yr asleep within the attic of the manor. She has been absent for all of Season 4 to this point (her final look was in Season 3’s “Holes Are Unhealthy”), however I distinctly keep in mind her being a fan of the track “Cherry Pie” by Warrant in her introductory episode (Season 1’s “Attic Lady”).
Ghosts followers should wait an additional minute for solutions, because the present is on a mini-hiatus, and the following two episodes received’t air till April 3 and April 10, respectively. What transpires will hopefully be thrilling, humorous, and depart us speculating about what’s coming within the promised Seasons 5 and 6, and if that’s the case, you’ll be able to undoubtedly anticipate to examine it right here on CinemaBlend.
