I think Trevor said Jay had put the remote in the drawer and opening a drawer was beyond his ghost-capabilities? Sass was so focused on making sure Sam remembered to leave the TV on, he forgot the need for a contingency plan - make sure the remote was out!

Hetty *is* very covered up in the dress she died in so in that regard just because we don't see outward physical injuries like Pete's arrow or Flower's claw marks doesn't mean there aren't any. She could have bruises underneath her dress or she could have any number of internal injuries we don't know about yet. We don't even know her ghost power yet to see if that could give us any clues. We've seen it twice now how Hetty reacts to Alberta's notion that she herself was murdered - just how much of a louse WAS Hetty's philandering ex-husband? (Pete has no blood on his neck from the arrow, but the carhop ghost at the restaurant that died from a roller blades/tail fins entanglement had blood on her apron. Hm XD) The entire subplot about Sam's mom in the weird restaurant I was thinking, man, Sasappis would love to have died in a restaurant, especially one with a cheese hurricane on the menu that made someone's heart explode. Even if the cheeseburger on the wall was playing a ukulele :p. But now we know thanks to Sam's mom being able to have that conversation with Sam before she got sucked off (thanks for totally ruining that for me, Trevor :p) and even in the pilot with the elderly lady when Isaac got to start his Introductions to Ghosts! speech, we know there's time for 'last words' before a ghost gets sucked off. Good? I'm still wondering how Thor of all the ghosts knew what sleep mode was, and oh my god, the ghosts devolve into children when Sam and Jay aren't around! They've gotten so spoiled by Sam being there to turn on the TV for them, LOL. Pete hiring Nancy the cholera ghost to be his girlfriend to save face in front of Alberta and the other ghosts, God XD! I think my favorite moment from this episode was from the tag scene at the end, the bittersweet but happy smile on Sam's face when Hetty showed up and started criticizing her about leaving the luggage in the hallway and smiling too much :p. She'd just lost her mom, again and for real this time, but now she has Hetty. Hetty can criticize her and be her mom figure but unlike her real mom Sam will forever get a second chance with Hetty because Hetty wouldn't (couldn't) leave :/

I don't remember when Isaac said he got possessed by the workman but if it was before Hetty's ghost-time in the house, it would have been just Isaac, Sass and Thor around. How did they ever come around to exorcism as a solution??

You're not the only one that would love a death manual, Pete, but I loved Isaac knowing how to fix this particular situation because he had once possessed an electrician before. Hee. The potential DIY exorcism-via-YouTube was fantastic; judging by the ropes on the bed that would not have gone well for poor Jay! Utkarsh Ambudkar did a great job with this episode. The ghosts watching and cheering Hetty on as she went on her little food bender was hilarious and what made it especially hilarious to me was that Hetty's bender foods of choice were peanut butter, Hot Cheetos and Sour Patch Kids :p. The possession was funny the entire episode through but at the same time Hetty said it herself, she'd never tasted peanut butter before and her entire first life she spent attempting to please her husband. The look on her face when she bounced back inside the ghost boundary at the edge of the property and said au revoir to Paris broke my heart. Maybe that's part of the reason why as much as she says she doesn't understand why Sam works she doesn't harp on it as much as she 'should.' Sam is living her life the way she wants to. Hetty admitting out loud, if even to herself, that she missed being able to see the ghosts ("I wish Isaac was here, he'd know what to do," from the beginning) was a sweet way to end the possession part of the storyline, and I gotta say, loved the blink-and-you-miss-it look of pride on her face when Jay channeled his inner Hetty and stood up to the electrician that canceled on them twice pre-episode XD I also love how Jay's first instinct after Sam hugged him after the successful possession-fix was to ask how Hetty was and if she was okay. Aww, Jay XD. (Hetty impressed me how she managed to turn the car on and drive it the short distance that she did, given how cars weren't even invented yet in her time.) Not even going to lie, that was my absolute favorite part of the back end of the episode XD Oh, and the wedding planner? I spent that entire subplot trying to figure out where I knew him from, 'cause he looked vaguely familiar. Off to IMDB I go...

"He is historian who's not here to study Isaac." Snerk XD. Petty and frustrated-that-he's-a-literal-footnote-in-history-Isaac is my favorite Isaac. His amusement as Todd became more creepy and unhinged over the course of the episode was hilarious, almost as much as Trevor being annoyed at Todd staying the night in his room (they have a rotating system! How do the ghosts sleep?) and Alberta's abject horror at Todd's back tattoo of her face. Todd did come through at the end in his own way - I loved how happy Alberta was at her vindication that she was murdered and her absolute and utter glee as the YouTube views went up and up and up was so, so good to see. She did end up making her father's struggles worth it after all <3 Would strychnine be evident in a bottle of moonshine from the 1920s, to show up in a blood test more than a hundred years later? The little of strychnine I know from Forensic Files and true-crime shows, it doesn't present as a heart attack. This show is so good that it makes Thor singing a good-night lullaby about pillaging villages and stabbing Danish men heartwarming, violent, and funny all at the same time. I never stopped to think of it before, that of all the ghosts Hetty was the one to grow up in Woodstone Estate, get married and live her married life in Woodstone Estate, and die in that house or close to the house, and if Thor was there watching over her all of that time, Sasappis and Isaac were there too. That puts an entirely new angle on the backstory of the four oldest ghosts :/ I loved the look on Hetty's face as she remembered, and her talk with Thor afterwards was so sweet, with her admission that Thor/Gordon was there for her when no one else was. Poor Thor, Isaac and Sass had to be around to watch Hetty's marriage to her philandering husband, too :( LOL at Thor trying to sing the lullaby to her again in this afterlife and both of them almost immediately agreeing it was weird XD You know what, though? This show can be a good history lesson if you think about it: thanks to Hetty and her walk with Alberta and Sam and the other ghosts I had something to do at the end of the episode: look up what laudanum was. Honestly, this sort of thing where another Living walks into the room when Sam is mid-conversation with the ghosts has happened enough by now that Sam really, really should invest in some earpods or headphones so she can pretend to work or be talking to her editor when Mark the contractor or other non-Jay people are around. Eventually their B&B will have guests that are less creepy than Todd :p.

Were the perpetrators named Molly and Clayton Daniels? If you'd like to see a half-hour version of that case it was a Forensic Files episode way back when. (Season 11, episode 16, Nov. 2006: "Grave Evidence.")

I don't know if it's possible or if it's even legal, but it should also be a thing that appropriate authorities, or even a higher-up in the insurance company as a signal to look at this one a little more closely, is notified when an insurance policy is called to be collected on within a certain number of days of being purchased. Ninety days should do it, a lot of the husbands that kill their spouses/affair partners do it within a month of getting the (obnoxiously overpriced relative to their salary) policy.

Way to tie up the series, Miami!

I'm sorry, but I hate this new style of airing the first "half" of a season of shows, waiting a few months, and then airing the next ten or so episodes - for someone like me that likes to record every episode of a season and binge-watch at the end, it's so very irritating. I have to try and guess when/if a season is over! First-world problem, I know, but - I have a system! 🤣

Since Melora Hardin is going to be a part of the movie, I want to know how ghost! Trudy feels knowing that her daughter lived all this time.

Monty Williams six-year/72M deal to coach Detroit Pistons Congrats to him for getting his money, but damn. To go from coaching KD/Book/CP3 in Phoenix to one of the perennial worst teams in the league.

This is what confuses me more than anything at all in this entire damn series, despite the fact that I didn't think it was as easy as they claimed it was to randomly change someone's age on a birth certificate, even if they were told to do so on the advice of a cop. (???) Let's just say she's twenty-two, or at least she isn't six. Let's say she's of legal age. Wouldn't that make the entire adoption, which probably wasn't on the up and up to begin with, not applicable? For better or for worse the Bartletts went to the scummy adoption house because they wanted a six-year-old child, and if Natalia isn't (a) six or (b) a child, isn't that false advertising or whatever? If Natalia is of legal age - yeah, it's not nice to abandon a dependent of yours in another apartment while the Bartletts and their bio-children move on, but it's not illegal. And none of this touches on the main issue for me in that, if even half of what the Bartletts said was true and Natalia was constantly trying to murder them and the bio-children, the questions about Natalia's true age are the least of their issues. The Bartletts, so far, are so weirdly passive about this child/not-child that's living in their house and trying to kill them, and might or might not be a diagnosed sociopath. Protect your other children!

Jason Tatum rolled his ankle on the very first play.

The ref assignments are out: Scott Foster AND Tony Brothers tonight.

Twitter is going nuts at the moment wondering how the Celtics managed to have 3 seconds on the clock when they inbounded the ball for the last possession, when the clock was at 2.9 the possession before and Butler didn't yet have the ball in his hands for the ensuing foul.

My blood pressure won't be able to take a Game 7 after all of this.

I was half-listening to the local news last night when I heard the on-air reporter read the copy that said "this senseless crime made no sense." Me: That...would be the definition of the word 'senseless', yes.

Is it fair to say that I'm getting slightly, moderately nervous?

The league avoided the embarrassment of their two favorite teams BOTH getting swept, so yay for them? Miami's going to come back from this and take it in five.

Three guesses who is the crew chief ref for tonight's game? Scott Foster. In other news, Jimmy Butler fined 25K for not doing post-game media after Game 3. That should work out well for the Celtics' already miniscule chances tonight. [/sarcasm]

LAKERS GET SWEPT. YOU LOVE TO SEE IT!

The Lakers don't have much of a choice, obviously, but is LeBron going to play all 48 minutes?

"Hard to imagine being so betrayed by a friend." "Didn't your best friend sleep with your wife?" "Yes, Sasappis, thank you, for that helpful example." God, the rapid-fire back-and-forth dialogue between the ghosts is hilarious. XD. You can tell how much the ghosts care about each other but that they get on each other's nerves like siblings do, and it makes sense when you think about how they've been together for hundreds of years if not centuries. Trevor is the "youngest" ghost by death-date and he's been there for twenty-three years. This is the second episode in a row that Thor and Hetty were nowhere to be found. I'm starting to miss these ghosts when they aren't there :( Hetty could have bonded with Sam over their shared boredom and distaste for D&D. I love the idea of all the common rooms (no bedrooms or bathrooms; Sam/Jay need some boundaries from the ghosts) having a bell as a built-in communication device between Jay and the ghosts, and it's something that can be halfway-decently explained away as part of the B&B besides! On the other hand, I know it apparently takes a lot out of Trevor and all, but I love the idea of the invisible ghosts communicating with Jay via bathroom mirror. All Sam/Jay would have to do is instigate some ground rules that it NOT be done when Jay is showering, and they can arrange some bathroom-message time for Jay and the ghosts. He can just go in and turn on the water for ten minutes to create steam. Or something less monetarily wasteful :p. Loved seeing Jay being able to interact with the ghosts on his terms for the majority of the episode AND that the ghosts liked playing D&D as much as he did! Didn't love Sam lying but loved how Pete was appropriately upset and how he, Sass and Alberta immediately set out to tell the truth and make things right with Jay, even if they ended up communicating with him in a creepy way, and ultimately it says a lot that Jay immediately believed what the ghosts were telling him. I could not stop laughing at how Nigel has one of his Revolutionary War ghosts (Baxter?) doing nothing but following him around playing the fife for leaving-the-room music :D. I also loved how the other Revolutionary War ghost brought his musket to the D&D battle and casually had it sitting there beside him in the chair. Trevor and Pete ready to assist Isaac in the battle for the mansion against the British ghosts was oddly charming? And I did NOT have Isaac murdering Nigel on my bingo card, but Jay's complete nonchalant casual reaction to that was worth the price of admission. XD. Love Jay and his ability to learn to roll with everything nowadays, like Sam not being able to find a shirt for him because she's busy with British ghosts from the Revolutionary War, or how the ghost with no pants watches him in the shower :p.

Jay continues to be awesome at showing how he is starting to really care about these invisible ghosts he can't communicate with except via Sam. He had a good idea with the roll-call of ghosts each time Sam comes into a room and starts a conversation (his disappointment in the kitchen when Sam, Alberta and Isaac stopped and left mid-conversation was sad/frustrating) and I loved how he immediately was so invested in helping Sasappis text the Lenape woman. That entire conversation was gold as was Trevor's clear hero-worship of Jay's mad-awesome texting skills XD. LOL at Jay wanting to know how ghost-sex works and whether or not the ghosts can take off their clothes. I'd like to think that Jay, knowing that even though he can't see or hear the ghosts they can see him, wanted to preemptively avoid any accidental nudity situation in the future if he could help it. He's already got to deal with the ghost with no pants flirting with his wife :p. "I was in love with her and I thought she was in love with me, so I killed a deer and brought it to her family." As you do, Sasappis. XD. LOL at him storming off like a teenager after he yelled at Sam that she ruined everything. I half-expected him to say that she was the worst Living ever XD Flower's origin story was good to hear, finally, and I might have gotten a little choked up at the reveal of the back of the coffee cup from Daisy's :)

Right? Both Clay and Diana have said they knew they lost before the results were read because of the card. (And in Diana's case, too, the order of performances.)
