She comes back in and after a while finds Sas to talk to him about his fears and insecurities. She assures him that she’s crazy about him just the way he is, and there’s no reason for him to act like Thorfinn or Trevor for her.

Later, Sam, Jay and the ghosts are waiting downstairs when Sas walks in and gives a big smile and “oh yeah!” Everyone, living or ghosts, celebrates Sas.
Rating
This episode digs deeper into underlying issues for Sam and Jay. It’s clear they love each other, but Sam’s connection to the ghosts is taking a toll on them. Jay is dependent on Sam to tell him anything ghostly that happens. Meanwhile, the ghosts’ constant need for attention from Sam is hurting her ability to connect with others. Jay is there all the time and understands. Bela knows about the ghosts. But very few others will understand. She’s loosely connected with family members of the ghosts who have stopped by but when the ghosts try to reach from beyond, Sam ends up in the middle and is usually the one who receives the brunt of the punishment. Sam needs more. It’ll be interesting to see how the creators give her more without her always having to be the go-between.
