ISAAC:
Ooh, luggage.

Do I detect a voyage
of some kind?

Nothing gets by you, man.

Oh, we're going away
for the weekend.

Everything's been so crazy
since moving here,

but we finally got
a second to breathe,

so I'm going to Ohio

to see if my dead mom
is a ghost.

Not exactly spring break
in Ibiza.

How did she die,
if you don't mind me asking?

SAMANTHA:
Allergic reaction.

She was at a restaurant
and didn't realize

the dish she ordered
had shrimp in it.

Ah. I had a pretty severe
shellfish allergy myself,

which is why
I always carried an EpiPen.

Of course, those don't protect
you against everything.

(chuckles)

We're sorry about your mom, Sam.

SAMANTHA:
Thank you.

It was six years ago.
Honestly, I'm excited.

I never got a chance
to say goodbye,

and now I might get to see her,
so that's amazing.

Okay, but remember to
keep your wits about you

amongst those buckeyes.

Rutherford B. Hayes
was from Ohio, so...

You get it.

Okay. I've got to pack.

And just as a reminder, Sam,
your mother might not be there.

Not every spirit
is lucky enough

to be trapped in an
endless purgatory.

SAMANTHA: I know.

But I just got to see, right?

Well, we're all here
to support you.

Thank you.

SASAPPIS:
And also to remind you

to leave the TV on
when you go.

Maybe write down
the thing about leaving

the TV on?

Sam?

♪ ♪

Knock, knock.

Uh,

can I ask your advice on
something before you go?

Sure. Pete just came in.

Hey, what up, Arrow Guy?

So, you can probably tell
I have a crush on Alberta,

right?

I think I want
to say something to her.

Wow.
(chuckles softly)

Pete has a crush on Alberta,
and he wants to tell her.

Okay, so we're looping Jay in
on this one.

JAY: Wait,

hasn't he known her
for decades?

Why is he making
the move now?

Well,

I'm a loyal guy, and my wife
was still very much alive.

But then you asked her
to come visit the house,

and I found out she was
a dirty, lying cheater.

So, long story short,
I'm ready to move on.

He's just ready to move on.

Cool. Look, I got
to take these down,

but please catch me up
in the car, okay?

'Cause I actually kind of love
this stuff.

It's like watching Friends,

except you can't see
or hear Friends,

and you only have one person

to tell you
what it's about.

So, wh-what do you think?

I love that you came to me,

but I have one foot
out the door right now.

Just tell me what to do.
Sh-Should I say something?

Pete, you're a sweet guy.

But I've only heard her talk
about dating bootleggers

or mob bosses.

Oh, you don't think
I'm a bad boy?

You know, I ripped the tag
off a mattress one time.

That's a federal offense, baby.

I just would hate
to see you get hurt,

and if, for any reason,
things went poorly,

it could be awkward.

Right.

Like, for everyone.

Sure.

For all eternity.

Yeah.

Feels like you're
kind of harping on it now.

Oh. Hey, the TV, Sam?

One last reminder?

Yeah.

Wow. Can't believe Pete
is gonna tell Alberta

he's got a crush on her.

What now?

Uh...

(Jay exhales)

I'm rooting for Arrow Guy.

Please don't say anything.

I think I talked him
out of it, anyway.

What if I really want
to say something, though?

Please don't.

(car door closes)

JAY:
Let's go, babe!

(engine starts)

(car door closes)

Seriously, Sass.

I promise
I'll try not to say anything!

But this is a tasty morsel!

(chuckles softly)

JAY:
Are you ready? How you feelin?

Nervous. I haven't seen her
in six years.

And I know it sounds dumb,
but I just...

I kind of want her
to be proud of me.

That doesn't
sound dumb at all.

Well, of course
you don't think so.

You still call your mom
when you finish your crossword.

It was a Saturday one,
and I did it in ink.

But the last time
I saw my mom

was when I'd gone home
for Thanksgiving.

We got into this huge fight
because she told me

I should give up journalism
and apply to law school.

Yeah, but what did you
do? You stuck with it.

Well, I'm doing fine,
but it's not like I'm writing

for The New York Times
or anything.

Babe, you're doing amazing.

And it's not just the writing.

You nabbed yourself a good hubs.

We're starting this B and B.

And you're possibly the only
person on the planet who can

see ghosts.

(chuckles)
You're practically a superhero.

I guess I am
kind of a superhero, right?

Uh-huh.

And that means I'm doing it
with a superhero,

which, as you know,
is, like, a big dream of mine.

That took
a really weird turn.

Yeah, you're not wrong.
But it's still hot.

Troops, we have a situation.

It seems that Samantha
remembered to leave the TV on,

but by some cruel twist
of fate,

it has turned off
by itself.

Sleep mode.

I'm sorry, what?

If no one press button
for six hours,

TV go asleep.

Well, can't you turn it on,
Trevor?

Jay put the remote away.

(clicks tongue)

I mean, a button I can do,
but a handle on a drawer?

I-I'm only human.

Or whatever this is.

But what are we supposed
to do for entertainment?

She'll be gone for days.

PETE:
Guys, guys, come on.

Before Jay and Sam,
we used to entertain ourselves,

remember?
Food Club, Movie Club.

We'd talk for hours.

Who wants to hear me
describe Meatballs?

Now, fun fact:
that's actually a food

and a movie.

This is hell. I'm in hell.

The movie stars Bill Murray

as a fun-loving,
wisecracking counselor

at a summer camp.
And the food...

well, you guys know
what the food is.

Pretty self-explanatory.

But we got the time,
so I'll explain it.

Pete's planning on telling
Alberta that he likes her.

What?

What?

I'm sorry, Pete.
But I overheard Jay,

and I didn't want
to say anything,

and then the TV shut off,

and then you forced my hand with
this whole meatballs lecture.

I...

Maybe we should go talk
about this

in the other room, Pete.

Although if it's
good news for Pete,

perhaps we should all be a part
of it to celebrate together.

Yeah, maybe the other room?

Oy.

Uh-oh.

(Flower groans)

Maybe you heard
Jay wrong, Sass.

I mean, I don't think so.

Or maybe Jay was
a little mixed-up.

You know how you say
one thing to Sam,

she repeats it to Jay,

and then
it's the telephone game.

Well, what did
you say to Sam?

Well, I did tell her
that I had feelings for someone,

but that someone was...

my girlfriend.

(Hetty gasps)

ALBERTA:
Oh!

Girlfriend? What,
you got a girlfriend?

One of you mating with Pete?

I don't think so.

(chuckles)
Certainly not.

Well, a-actually, I don't...
I don't think you guys know her.

How would we not know her?

Because she...
lives downstairs.

In the cholera pit?

Uh, yeah.

The cholera pit.

Well, I, for one,
would love to meet her.

Well, I'll go

talk to her about it
right now.

Downstairs,
where she definitely lives.

Here I go.

Be back with my girlfriend.

Oh, God.

Okay, mojitos are Cuban,
this menu is Mexican,

and then the cheeseburger
on the wall's playing a ukulele,

which is definitely Hawaiian.
This place is all over the map.

Welcome to Mojitown. I'm Dennis.

Will it be two for lunch?

Yes, thank you.

I still don't see her.

Who?

Oh, uh,

my mom. She's
meeting us here.

So it'll be three for lunch.

No, no,

'cause she's probably
not eating with us.

I'm sorry,

I'm confused.

Holy crap, Samantha?

Mom?

"Mom"?

You can see me?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

She loves

Cuban-themed
Mexican Hawaiian restaurants.

They're so hard to find.

(gasps, squeals)

"Come join us at Mojitown,"
my coworkers said.

"One lunch won't kill you."
Oh, yeah?

Well, are there at least
other ghosts for you to talk to?

(sighs)
Yeah, a couple. There's Sondra.

JAY:
Ooh,

what's a cheese hurricane?

It's what made my heart explode.

Might have to get that.

Oh.

SHERYL: And, of course,
there's Peggy Sue. She was

a carhop when this place was
a drive-in diner in the '50s.

Roller skates and tail fins,
not a great combo.

SHERYL:
So,

how did this happen?

You said
that one of the ghosts

from the mansion
pushed you down the stairs?

Oh, no, no. Uh, he has a power
where he can touch things,

and he knocked over a vase.
I tripped.

It was a total accident.

He doesn't wear pants.

He can touch things?

My ghost power sucks.

What's your ghost power?

I can burp up shrimp breath.

(exhales)

(gags)

What the hell was that?

My late mother.

Okay, so,
you're doing the B and B.

I guess that means
it didn't work out

with the whole journalism thing.

No, it worked out. I'm just...
I'm also doing the B and B

in addition to the
journalism thing.

Sam had a big article published

in the Ulster County Review.

Oh, that's nice.

So, you're on staff there?

No, I am freelance.

Oh.

Yeah. But then this guy

who works at The New York Times
read it,

and he asked me to work there.

What?

Huh?

SAMANTHA:
Yes.

So, that is your daughter.

Full-time at the
paper of record.

(chuckles)
This is incredible.

I mean,

a staff writer
at The New York Times.

Well, I guess

you're going to have to give up
the B and B, then.

No, I can still work remotely.
Send in articles.

Wait, but you're never
gonna make it to editor

if you just send in
the articles.

Here we go.

No, I'm just saying

that that's where all
the networking happens, right?

Not even my lies are
good enough for you.

Your lies?

Yes. I don't work for
The New York Times.

I just said that
because I wanted you

to admit you were wrong about
the whole journalism thing.

But apparently
nothing I ever do

will be good enough
for you, Mom.

Uh, she calls me Mom.

It's like "bro."
It's a TikTok thing.

Bye, Mom.

PETE:
Hey, everyone.

This won't take up
too much of your time.

Hi. Uh, I'm in kind of a bind

and need a volunteer
to be my fake girlfriend.

Why do you need that?

Well, I made up
this little white lie

about how I have a girlfriend,

and now I need to prove
to everyone that that's true.

You're talking
to the wrong people.

We don't like it upstairs.

Yeah. You guys
are mean and rude.

Also, it's too bright and airy.

Okay. Uh, well,
sorry to bother you.

I'll do it.

PETE:
Really?

You will?

Nancy, we don't go up there.
We stay with our kind.

I am not your kind.

I want a better afterlife
than this.

All you guys do

is stand around, talking
about the water heater.

It's boring.

Okay, calm down.

Oh, no, do not tell me
to calm down.

You gave me cholera,

Stuart.

Okay, well, Nancy

has thrown her hat in the ring,

which is... great,

but I want to, you know, be fair
to all of the ladies of the pit,

so, uh, how about the quiet one

in the back there?
With the smile?

Oh. Yeah,
she doesn't have a tongue.

And let me tell you,
that is

her "no" face.

Now, listen up.
I will help you out.

But just to be clear,

there is nothing happening here
sexually.

O-Okay. Noted.

All right.
Let's do this, then, huh?

PETE: Okay.

Oh.

I didn't know
ghosts could sweat.

Oh, no,

it's pus from an infected wound.

Ah. That explains it.

Okay, Sheryl, now
that it's just us...

I think. Are you
still there?

(grunts, exhales)

Oh, that is...

actually really smart.

Super gross, but I get it.

You are there. Hi. Okay,

here's my thought.

Can you please just admit to Sam

that sometimes you might be
a little too critical?

Can you believe this?

It's always our fault.

I mean, she traveled
all this way to see you.

The least you could do
is meet her halfway.

Because she got a point,
all right? I mean, I love you,

but let's be honest,
you can be really tough.

DENNIS:
One cheese hurricane.

Yes!

I highly advise you
not to eat it all yourself.

Well, you don't know me.

I'm not too critical.

I just know
what she's capable of.

I still think you should do
what this guy is saying.

Remember when Harold
finally forgave his brother

for running off with his wife?
Whoosh. Up he went.

So, you're saying

if I have some kind of
a breakthrough with my daughter,

I could finally get out
of this hellhole.

So, what do we
think, Sheryl?

If you agree,
just, you know...

Actually, you know what,
no shrimp breath this time.

Let's just see
what happens.

So, there were a lot of rumors
going around today

about how I didn't have
a girlfriend

and about how maybe I just
made that up in a blind,

sweaty panic.
But here she is in the flesh.

The rotting flesh.

Shh.

Nancy from the cholera pit.

(chuckles) Yeah. Well,
originally from Albany.

Uh, but then I got sick, and
they threw me in the pest house,

which they told us
was some sort

of recovery ward.

(chuckles)

But then they nailed
the door shut.

That was not a good sign.

How did you two meet?

PETE:
Uh, well,

that's a fun story. Um...

Yeah.

He came downstairs
trolling for sex.

PETE:
(chuckles) Okay.

(Nancy laughs)

She's a joker. (chuckles)
Loves to tell jokes.

It's actually one of the things
I like about her.

What are some
of the other things?

Uh, well,
our shared love of...

The water heater.

Right.

Pete, you love
the water heater?

Yeah. (chuckles)

Oh, he-he loves
the water heater.

Oh, won't shut up about it.

He could go on for hours

talking calibration

and combustion.

Combustion.

And, uh, corrosion.

Uh, corrosion.

And deliming.

And... deliming.

I love deliming. Yeah.

(burps)
Oh. Yowza.

(exhales) Hey, hon. Is
your mom still here?

'Cause I'm sort of hoping
she didn't just sit there

and watch me eat an entire
appetizer platter for six.

It was horrifying.

She's here. Hi, Mom.

Sam, I thought a lot
about what you said,

and you're right.

Sometimes I can be too critical.

I'm sorry. Look,

th-there's still some
crust over here if you...

Shh, shh.

She's talking. Go on, Mom.

It's just...
(exhales)

I butt in when I'm not needed,

and for that, I'm sorry.

And you're not too sensitive.

I shouldn't have said that.

Nope.

This is completely on me.

Wow, Mom. Thank you.

Is this a cathartic
mother-daughter resolution vibe

that I'm getting?

Could you find it in your heart
to forgive me?

Of course.

Maybe you could just say

you forgive me?
You know, like,

actually use the words?

Okay. I forgive you.

Okay.

Maybe louder this time.
And say my full name.

Wait, you're just trying
to ascend, aren't you?

You didn't mean
anything you just said.

What's happening?

I can't believe you would say
all of those things

just to get sucked off.

Busted. I'm a
dirty, dirty dog.

I'm so annoyed.

I'm sorry she did that.

I mean, I really believed her
for a second.

I'm such an idiot.
She's never gonna change.

Look, not all moms can be
Champa Arondekar, okay?

But to be honest, she
probably praises me too much.

You love it.

Yeah, you're
right. I love it.

It's so great. But
that doesn't mean

that your mom doesn't
love you in her own way.

I mean, here I have
this ridiculous second chance

that nobody in the world
ever gets,

and instead
of taking advantage of it,

I'm in another fight
with her.

I mean, it's just like
the last time we saw each other.

So then don't
let it be. Okay?

Yes, your mother is never
gonna change, but you can.

So don't be the girl
who gets in a fight

and then goes back
to New York angry.

Be the girl who goes back
inside and talks to her mom

while she still can.

That's actually
really good advice.

Really? Do you mind if
I call my mom real quick

and tell her that I
fixed this whole sitch?

You two have
a real problem.

Okay, fine.

I'll call her later.
It's not a big deal.

I have a special ring.
Did you know that?

So, like, she'll
always pick up.

PETE:
So, uh,

we should probably
get going back down.

Glad you guys got to meet
my real girlfriend.

(chuckles)

Now it's time
to head downstairs.

What? No.

No. Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

Pete, Pete, come on.

She just got here.

Yeah, we don't even know
how long you date

or how far she throw axe.

NANCY:
Actually,

yeah, I thought I might
just maybe stay up here.

(chuckles)

What's that?

NANCY:
I mean, we might as well

stop sneaking
around, right, baby?

Well, we're not
sneaking around.

I spend every night

in Pete's room.

There. It's out
there in the open.

I feel relieved
everyone can know.

Yeah, I feel great, too.

I feel great.
I feel great, too. What? What?

Yeah.

What are you doing?

I'm not ready
to go back yet.

I think I might stay
for a while.

Aw, look, they're
whispering sweet nothings.

You better get used to me.

(laughs)

(chuckles)

This guy, right?

Isn't he just the best?

(chuckles)

Ooh!

(grunts)

Isn't he just the best?

Isn't he just the best?

(grunts, chuckles)

Oh, yeah. Do that again.

PETE:
Stop it. You... Aah!

(chuckles)
Okay.

(coughs)

You looking for your mom?

Yeah.

She brags about you
all the time,

you know. Your mom.

She does?

Oh, yeah.
Samantha this, Samantha that.

"She went to Northwestern.

"She moved to New York.
She's so beautiful

"and smart and doesn't talk

all the time like you,
Peggy Sue."

(chuckles)
The last part's a bit hurtful.

I didn't know
she felt like that about me.

Of course I do.

I just want you to have
everything you've ever wanted.

That's why

I push.

I just want you to be happy.

I am happy.

I have a wonderful life.

That's all I've ever wanted.

You should come back
for Thanksgiving.

Really? They do
a good Thanksgiving here?

No, it's horrible. Eat first.

(chuckles)

What's happening now?

Oh.

Mom said we should come back
for Thanksgiving.

That sounds
like major progress, babe.

I'm really happy for you.
Just know that Champa

will then probably want us
to go there for Christmas

instead.

Mom, I think
I can talk him into...

Mom?

I'm leaving, Sam.

You are?

I can go now.

You've turned out

amazingly.

I'm so proud of you.

The criticism worked.

(chuckles softly)

Goodbye, Mom.

Goodbye, honey.

SAMANTHA:
She's gone, Jay.

Sometimes, when we're doing it,

I'll get on his back
like a horse,

and I'll steer him
around by his arrow.

(Nancy chuckles)

That is very vivid imagery.
Thank you, Nancy.

I got a lot more images for you.

Here we go.
This one time,

he told me to kick him harder...

Nancy is amazing.
(laughs)

Such a... free spirit.

No pun intended.

(chuckles)

And I was like,
"You're so wild,

but, okay,
if this is your thing..."

And she seems really happy.

You must be a good
boyfriend, Pete.

(chuckles)

(chuckles, sighs)

I wish I could be
treated well like Nancy.

What? What-what
are you saying?

Oh, no, I don't...
(chuckles)

Well, it's just
when I was alive,

I was with a bunch
of cheats and liars.

Maybe 'cause I thought
I didn't deserve better.

Well,
you do deserve better.

You deserve the best.

(chuckles)
Well, too bad.

Nancy got the
last honest guy.

That's me,
a real straight arrow.

(chuckles) Certainly wouldn't
lie about anything.

JAY:
We're home, ghosts!

Or empty room.
I have no idea.

They're in here. Hey.

(Nancy groans)

Who's this?

Ah, hi. Nancy.

I'm Pete's girlfriend.

Pete's girlfriend?

Huh?

Uh, there's a new ghost.

Sure. Cool.

Yep. Yeah,
Nancy's my girlfriend, uh,

that sleeps upstairs
in my room with me.

(chuckles)
We're practically inseparable.

(chuckles)

There's no getting away
from her.

Honey? Shall we, uh...

Looks like I'm gonna get some.

(Pete groans)

SAMANTHA:
So, what happened?

Sleep mode, Sam.
Sleep mode happened.

How are you feeling
about your mom?

Well, I'm feeling happy
for her, obviously.

And that I got
to say goodbye.

But I'm sad because it feels
like I don't have a mom.

Again.

I know.

You know,
she was critical and annoying,

but there's something nice

about feeling
like somebody cares that much.

Young lady,

you are aware

that your luggage is languishing
by the front door.

I know, it's just been a long
day. I'll deal with it tomorrow.

Sorry, Hetty just came in.

Mm, your choice, of course.

It's not the choice I would make
nor the right choice,

but it is a choice
nonetheless.

What are you smiling about?

Something
just made me happy.

HETTY:
Well, don't stay like that.
You'll get laugh lines,

and your husband will wander.

Must I teach this girl
everything?
