Bring Your Daughter to Work Day
Trevor wants Sam and Jay to hire his daughter to work at the restaurant to be close to her. Meanwhile, the ghosts get ready to hold another election, leading to a primary between Isaac and Flower.
Warning: Spoilers below
Hiring Trevor’s Daughter
Trevor approaches Sam and asks if she remembers his daughter. Given that Trevor texted the young woman from her phone and let her know that Trevor was her real father, Sam can’t really forget her. Trevor informs her that his daughter just lost her job and wants Sam and Jay to hire her as a waitress. Jay agrees to it as he can always use some help in the restaurant.

Abby finds it weird that the people who upended her life the last time she was at Woodstone Manor are offering her a job, especially since a waitress job should be relatively easy to fill. Sam can’t tell her that her father is a ghost stuck in the mansion, so she just tells Abby that she feels bad about everything that happened previously. Abby needs the job, so she accepts it but she feels very off. However, Trevor is about to become an overprotective father from beyond the grave.
Human Resources
Trevor is excited that his daughter will be nearby, but there’s an employee named Neil who is rather unpleasant. He’s a lot like Trevor pretended to be when he’s alive. He asks Abby out for ice cream and Trevor is disheartened when she says yes. He decides to get in Sam’s ear to get into Jay’s ear to make sure it doesn’t happen. Jay calls an emergency HR meeting to ban relationships between employees. While a few other employees hint at relationships, Abby figures out it’s about her and decides to quit.

Sam, Jay and Jay’s sister, Bela, along with several other ghosts, follow her. Sam is trying to come up with an explanation and, at this point, Jay and Bela tell her it makes more sense if she just admits she can see ghosts. She does and Abby doesn’t believe her. Hetty peaks in her bag and Sam reels off the contents. However, Abby still doesn’t believe her. Trevor decides to use his ghost power to reveal himself to his daughter and is able to push over her water bottle making her believe he is there.
Primary Debate
While that’s going on, Nancy and Dirk come up from the basement and announce Dirk is seeking a second term as the ghosts’ representative. Four years ago, Sam told the ghosts they needed to have one person represent them when speaking to her. The upstairs ghosts split the vote and the basement ghosts united behind Dirk. It’s four years later, and since Sam now sees the ghosts as friends, there’s no need for a representative, but Isaac sees this as his chance to hold office. However, Flower shows an interest too, so the upstairs ghosts decide to hold a primary so they don’t split the vote again.

Sass and Alberta try to help Flower as Isaac challenges her to a debate. It seems like Flower’s campaign is a lost cause, because she can’t remember much since she was high when she died. However, Gabe, Jay’s constantly stoned employee walks through Flower. Normally, the person walking through Flower gets high, but Gabe is perpetually high, so Flower gets sober and we are reminded that she was once a powerful lawyer and genius student who could hold her own.
She dominates Isaac in the debate but returns to her stoned self afterward. She reveals she dreads their predicament when sober, so she’s at peace when high. Meanwhile, Isaac is heartbroken about his loss. However, Alberta explains the concept of carpetbaggers to him and he moves downstairs to try to sway the basement ghosts to support him.
What’s Next?
After a disappointing Halloween episode (which is extra disappointing considering it’s a show about ghosts), Ghosts rebounded this week with a solid outing. Trevor and Abby have the chance to show us a dysfunctional father-daughter relationship between a ghost and a mortal. It’s what many wanted with Pete, but the dynamic works better with Trevor who is not nearly as good-hearted. Plus, Mark’s appearance is hysterical as he found a way to always support a woman when speaking, showing he’s still being gaslighted by Sam and Jay about feminism, calling back to a few seasons ago.
Check out Ghosts on CBS and Paramount Plus.
