Warning: SPOILERS For Ghosts Season 4, Episode 16 - “St. Hetty’s Day"Unfortunately, there will be no newGhoststhis week, along with any other original scripted CBS programming. This is disappointing following an eventful run of episodes sinceGhostsreturned from its winter hiatus. Jay has finally opened his restaurant with the help of his sister, Bela. Pete helpedThor learn the truth about his abandonment inGhostsseason 4, episode 11. In a shockingly quick turnaround, the man of Isaac’s dreams, Chris, dies on the property and comes back as a ghost, although it wasn’t the happy ending Isaac envisioned.

Despite being one of the most senior spirits, Hetty was one of the lastghosts in CBS’Ghoststo discover her power. InGhostsseason 4, episode 16,Hetty’s truly awesome power is revealed: the ability to be seen by the living, at least on St. Patrick’s Day. Despite the momentum of these developments, we will have to wait until next month to learn whether Chris will have to return to the property or if Hetty is ready for a real relationship, asthere will not be a newGhostsepisode next weekeither.

What To Expect From The Upcoming Ghosts Episode

Ghosts Has Teased A Few Future Relationships

Ghostshas a few dangling threads I hope they address in the remaining six episodes left in season 4.Hetty and Trevor became “power friends”in season 4, episode 12, then in the very next episode, the other ghosts worry what would happen if they revive their relationship. With Hetty making a real connection with Jay’s cousin in the last episode, it does feel likeGhostsis building towards Hetty and Trevor getting back togetherin a more serious way.

Ghosts Season 4 Finally Redeemed An Underrated Supporting Character Who Deserved To Shine

Ghosts season 4 episode 12 followed a largely forgotten character’s story, proving that they remain a pivotal part of the CBS sitcom in the process.

Sas’s status as a virgin has become such a running jokethat hopefullyGhostswill give him a real love interest sometime soon. Sas had a brief relationship with the car-bound ghost, but as a character who often gets lost in the shuffle of the bigger ghost personalities, he deserves to end his postmortem dry spell and have his own storyline.

Tier Three

In the lastGhostsepisode,Isaac tells Nigel a white lie about Chris’s disappearance. While this seemingly wrapped up the love triangle, I have a sneaking suspicion this is not the last we’ll see of Chris. Pete is the only other ghost able to leave the property, but he has to return after a certain amount of time away or risk fading away. If this also applies to Chris’s ghost power, he will have to come back to Woodstone Manor, and Isaac will have a hard time explaining how a ghost he claimed was sucked off is now back.

HopefullyGhostsuses this opportunity to take some bold risks.

Ghostsis in a rarified position in modern network television: having beenrenewed forGhostsseasons 5and 6, they are going into the season 4 break knowing they have 44 episodes of story ahead of them. HopefullyGhostsuses this opportunity to take some bold risks - while many ghosts have been getting closure, none so far have been sucked off.
