It's Halloween!
[laughs] Aah! Oh, my God.
- What? What is it? - THORFINN: You not remember?
We do seance.
We bring back Flower from beyond today.
Awake. Come on! We do seance now.
Again, Thor, the way this works is, we need an object
that belonged to Flower.
Now, her brother is sending us something,
but it won't be here till later.
I'm tracking it, buddy.
It says it's gonna be
delivered by 8:00 p.m.
Oh, that's rough.
So hard to wait. [laughs]
Oh, he's so excited. It's so sweet.
He's like a kid on Christmas.
Thor gonna ravish her.
My loins burn deep with desire.
Throbbing. [laughs]
Not exactly like a kid on Christmas.
Will do it in the living room. Everyone free to watch. Yes!
Yes![laughs]
Halloween! [laughs]

SAMANTHA: Babe, what about Caroline,
that cool girl with the eyebrow ring
who runs the bookshop? Did we invite her?
Yeah, we did, and she's a yes.
Boom shakalaka. This party's gonna rock.
I appreciate that she doesn't even try
to be cool in front of us anymore.
Ah, the Halloween party.
So brave of you to continue that tradition
after the humiliating failure
that was last year's soiree.
Right. Which is why we're taking no chances this year.
We sent out the invites months ago.
Which did not reek of desperation.
And we have received a solid number of RSVPs
from a highly curated selection
of Hudson Valley locals.
And... drumroll, please.
- Pete's doing it. - Oh, thanks, buddy.
Nico and Sasha are coming up from the city.
The Nico and Sasha? Music manager
and stylist to the stars power couple?
The most amazing bathroom remodel
I've ever seen.
I-I-I snoop while you scroll.
Yes, that's them.
And they're coming for the party tonight,
but they're staying with us - for the weekend. - JAY: And they said,
if they like the vibe up here,
they might even start looking at houses.
I see what's going on here.
You aspire to scamper up
the greasy rungs of the social ladder.
Well, fortunately for you, you have a member
of the Newport 400 as your guide.
Is that like a car race or a cigarette?
[doorbell rings][gasps]
They're here.
Oh, don't answer right away. Make 'em sweat a little.
Is it too late to completely change your hair?
You know what? Never mind.
Sasha and Nico. Get in here.
Hi.
It's not the package, Thor.
Damn it! [grunts] [screams]
Oh!
JAY: Oh.
It has been a while.
Yeah, a couple years.
[bellows] [whimpers]
It's so cute up here...
Oh, yeah, we love it.
And there's, like, tons to do up here.
Do you guys like apple-picking?
Are you really suggesting manual labor?
Yeah, apple-picking's chill.
Perhaps they'd also like to sweep your chimney.
People are chill up here, too.
I mean, you'd think it was just yokels and old folks,
but eh-eh, that is not the case.[laughs]
Knock-knock. Happy Halloween.
Meow, I'm a cat.
Oh, my God. It's Pete's widow.[door closes]
Hey... wh-what are you doing here?
I know, I'm a bit early for the party.
You guys live near my podiatrist,
and I didn't want to go home in between.
Pete, Carol's here.
CAROL: I have to say, you guys,
I was really, really touched when I got your invite.
Oh, uh, sorry, these are our friends Sasha and Nico.
- Sasha, Sasha? - Yeah.
Sasha? Uh, Nico.
Nico, Sasha. Sasha.
This is what you call well-curated?
TREVOR: Oh, I bet Carol
got the invite meant for bookstore Caroline.
Classic email mix-up, which I would know about
as the ghost who emails.
- Is he bragging? - I have no idea.
Did someone say that...?
Cheese and crackers, what is she doing here?
Oh, I almost forgot.
Didn't want to come empty-handed.
Ha-ha. [chuckles]
Whoa. Doughnut holes.
Sick.[chuckles]
CAROL: It's a funny story--
I hate doughnuts, but I love doughnut holes.
Oh, God, not this again.
Aren't they - the same thing? - Oh, no, no, no.
Doughnut holes come out of a different machine.
It's all doughnut material. I can't be here for this.
Um, do either of you guys - have foot issues? - You know what? Uh...
Why don't I show you two to your room?
And, Carol, let's go put the doughnut holes
in the kitchen.
Wow, she's... a bit much.
Don't worry. Jay'll take care of her.
Ooh, ominous.
Point me to the dance floor.
I'm ready to get out there and boogie.
Actually, Carol, I think we need some help in here,
kind of manning this area.
Yeah, they don't want you here, Carol.
No one does.
But isn't the party supposed to be out there?
Yeah, but I just-- I need a really strong
presence in the kitchen.
People are drawn to my charisma.
Yeah, my best friend who you slept with was sure drawn to it.
I can't be around you!
- Thanks, Carol. - Yeah.
Well, well, well, looks like we're finally alone.
And I have...
42 Weight Watchers points left for the day.
Mmm. [chuckles]
[coughing]
SASAPPIS: Hurry up, the window to bring back Flower closes at midnight.
THORFINN: Everyone gather.
It's time to bring my girlfriend
back from the beyond.
Okay, we're ready.
Jay, have you got the object of Flower's?
Let's see what her brother sent us.
Hmm, must be some treasured keepsake
for him to have kept it all these years.
Okay, it's...
It's a 50-year-old bag of weed.
He sent that across state lines?
Oh, now we're all drug traffickers. Thanks, Rob.
All right, people, we know the drill.
[sniffs] Light the candle,
hold hands, and do the chant.[groans]
Just like last year when we brought back
that hot maid who had ghost syphilis.
Still would've gone there.
Mm. HETTY: Don't worry, Samantha.
We will visit with Flower,
but we shall not abandon you in your time of need.
We shall be at your side, a constant voice
in your ear, aiding you as you attempt
to improve your social station.
I ain't gonna sugarcoat it. It was a rough start,
- but it's salvageable. - SAMANTHA: Actually, I would prefer
if you guys weren't in my ear.
No offense, it's just kind of hard
to charm Sasha and Nico with you guys distracting me.
JAY: Yeah, you know, we just don't want Sam
looking like a weirdo in front of our friends.
Not that you ever look weird.
I mean, you really pull it off.
I love you, babe.
Enough!
We're wasting time. Do seance now.
Okay, Thor. [clears throat]
Let's do this.
[huffing]
Spirits, we ask you to open your doors
to the realm of the dead...
Uh, Sam.
[gasps, chuckles nervously]
Yeah, we were just wondering
what the Wi-Fi password is?
Yes. Yeah, and I will share that with you.
We were just praying for a good party.
Do you want this...? I'm gonna close it.
[Isaac chuckling]
This is going about as well as it did for the Hessians
on Christmas Day.
We murdered them in their sleep.
Oh, I'll fix that later. That's just a bump in the road.
Yeah. I mean, that's the last weird thing
they're gonna see tonight.
♪ ♪
That was weird.
Oh, wow.
I think I blacked out.
I'm excited to see Flower.
I wonder if she'll remember me.[chuckling]
No, for real, I do wonder.
Mm. JAY: Okay, not to rush
this very important occasion, but Carol could be
talking goiters with Sasha and Nico as we speak.
Okay, let's go. [clears throat]
Spirits, spirits, draw in near.
From beyond, join us here.
ALL: Spirits, spirits, draw in near. From beyond, join us here.
Hey, Flower.
[chuckling]: Oh, my gosh.
It's just so good to see you, girl.
We missed you so much.
It didn't work.
THORFINN: Where's Flower?
Why not work? [mutters]
Must be something wrong with...
Maybe object not belong to Flower.
Or, or perhaps the object needed to be
something that was on their person
when they passed.
Remember, the maid died with the feather duster.
Jay, the ghosts think that maybe it didn't work
because Flower didn't have this weed on her
when she died.
Interesting. [chuckles]
That's going in the ghost notes.
Yes!
So simple. Make sense now.
Samantha,
you must procure object
that Flower did die with.
Fast!
We have mere hours left till midnight.
Thor, I want to bring Flower back, too,
but, I'm sorry, I wouldn't know where to start.
Well, we know that Flower was mauled by the bear
on the property. You guys were there.
Did anything fall off of her?
Did she drop anything?
It's possible,
and I don't want to get too graphic,
but there was a lot of stuff flying around--
you know, clothes, jewelry, intestines...
Why? Why did she think the bear wanted a hug?
Well, there you go, Samantha.
You just simply must leave
the party and go dig up
the site of Flower's demise.
Or, more likely, just make Jay do it.
Uh, Jay, the ghosts are saying that you should dig up
the spot where Flower died and see if you can find
anything that was on her person.
That's what that long-ass pause was for?
No. We're throwinga party.
I-I want to see people try my shrimp toast.
Please, small man.
Thor want to tell Flower that...
I love her.
When she was here,
too afraid to tell her, but is one true wish
that she know.
Aw, Thor wants to tell Flower that he loves her.
He never got a chance to tell her.
[groans softly]
I mean, the body's not still there, is it?
I think they got most of it.
You know, maybe there's a toe or some teeth.
Nope, they took it all away.
Okay. I'm going to go excavate
the site of a bear mauling
because my wife fell down some stairs once.
[all cheering]
♪ I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go... ♪
But that's what happens when you take the G train.
[laughing]: The G train.
She's laughing - way too hard. - That's it, Samantha,
they want to see your back teeth.
Sam's spending way too much time with them.
That girl is lingering.
TREVOR: Is Nico checking his phone?
Oh, damn it, Sam, get out of there.
Uh, uh, what was I saying?
There you are.
One sec.
I saw a young man putting a beer down on a wooden credenza.
I scolded him and he completely ignored me.
Young people.
Okay, well, thank you for telling me, Carol,
but actually, we were planning on refinishing it anyway.
[chuckles] Uh-huh.
No, I'm a little busy right now, Carol.
Okay, well, suit yourself.
See you later.
Sorry, we invited her by accident.
She's the worst. [chuckles]
Pete, want to join us at the party?
You're being a real John Jay up here. [laughs]
He was most shy.
I can't go down there.

Got to say, you do not see that on a ream at Joann's.
Wow. Uh-oh.

So, Carol's a ghost. HETTY: Oh, my goodness.
She must have expired somewhere on the property.
This is remarkable.
We got to tell Sam.
- Sam! - Samantha!
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Hey, Sam, we know you said
not to bother you, but...[Samantha shushes]
I don't want to hear it. I very politely asked you guys
not to talk to me at the party,
because when you do, it makes me look like a crazy person.
Samantha... No. I've had it.
I don't want your help.
You died hundreds of years ago, and I'm sorry,
but your advice really isn't all that relevant.
[gasps]
Oh, my goodness, are you kidding?
Like I'm watching a toddler.
Carol.
Well, what do we do now?
You heard her. Little Miss Living doesn't want our help.
[scoffs]
Hey, Carol. Uh, can I steal her away for a sec?
CAROL:I'm telling my Daryl Hall story.
He hit on me once at a Safeway.
Well, maybe it's not the best time for that.
[whispers]: So sorry about her.
Okay, yeah.
We're gonna go, um, get snacks.
[laughs softly]
Thanks a lot, Carol.
What did I do?
You talked their ear off.
They weren't giving me much back.
[Sasha sighs]
This is really disturbing, Nico.
Sam's talking to imaginary people.
She's completely lost it.
Well, she's stuck up here in the middle of nowhere
in this creepy old hotel.
SASHA: Speaking of creepy,
look at this Halloween decoration.
Geez, that looks realistic.
Oh, well, there's Carol's corpse. [chuckles]
I was wondering where that was.
Mm, mystery solved.
SASHA: That does look
really real.
Yep, that's a dead body.
Oh, my God.
SASHA: Oh, my God.
Nico, that's the lady from earlier.
The one we said was a bit much.
And then Sam said that Jay would "take care of her."
See, this is interesting, because they think
that Sam and Jay murdered Carol. [gasps]
Oh, I would love to alert Samantha,
but I also want to honor her wishes not to bother her
with my outdated advice.
What to do, what to do? Mm.
Oh, my God. You don't think...?
That they killed this lady 'cause they're desperate
to be friends with us and we said that we didn't like her?
I knew they could smell the desperation.
I told Samantha to rein it in.
Maybe it's just a coincidence.
- Yeah. - I mean, people can be crazy,
and there can be dead bodies,
but it doesn't mean that - the crazy people killed them. - No, right.

Jay, you're amazing. How did you find this?
I went right where you told me to and I started digging
and it was creepy and it was dark,
and then I heard an owl make a hoot,
which brought up some really painful memories,
but you know what? I hit pay dirt.
How's it going here?
Not great. Carol keeps hovering
when I'm trying to talk to Sasha and Nico.
I don't know why she's still here.
[singsongy]: I got a clue.
JAY [distant]: It's okay, babe, I'm here now.
Everything's gonna be fine.
We are gonna get rid of Carol,

We know too much.
Okay, go. Go, go, go.
Enough talking!
Only three hours left till midnight.
Thor yearns to tell Flower he love her.
And do other things that, again,
others are invited to watch in living room.
ISAAC: And with that,
let's bring back a ghost.
Uh, Nico and Sasha
are packing up faster than the Hendersons back in '84
when they had to flee the Bahamas due to a hurricane.
I was working on getting them a full refund when yuh-oh.
Pete says Sasha and Nico are leaving.
What? No, no, no. We got to stop 'em.
Wait, we bring back Flower first.
And now they're sprinting down the stairs.
[gasps] Thor, I'm sorry, we'll be right back.
Jay, let's go. I bet this is because of Carol.
[singsongy]: You're probably right.
Hey, seriously? You're just gonna leave the big guy hanging?
What about his loins?

Wait. Damn.
I forgot my coat in the closet upstairs.
- Leave it. - It's Loro Piana.
It's quiet luxury.
Oh, your father will buy you a new one.
Well, I hope so.
You guys aren't trying to escape, are you?[screams]
We are not letting you get away that easy.
- Oh, yeah, uh... no! - No, we weren't. Okay.
We don't want to-- we just-- uh, we... we have to go now.
Is this because of Carol?
No, no, no. Something came up.
And, uh, we don't even know what you're talking about.
Wait, well, did somebody else bother you? Because if they did,
I can stick them in the kitchen, too.
No, no, no, no, no, no! Everyone has been so chill.
It's been awesome and...
And we won't tell anyone what we saw, we swear to God.
What you saw? Sasha, are you feeling okay?
You look a little pale.
Oh, it's food poisoning, yeah.
But not something that you made, Jay!
It's from earlier.
And, yeah, man, everything you made,
you're an amazing cook.
And, uh, we would never want to upset you.
- But please, man. - What?
- Sam? - Oh, here comes Carol.
CAROL: I don't know what's going on with this foot medicine,

Well, that would be ironic. You don't even like doughnut holes.

Yeah, it's weird.
Once you tell people the coroner's on the way,

No. I don't even want to talk to you.
Let's just bring Flower back, since that's all I'm good for
is doing stuff for you guys,

What did I do to the universe? I mean, I was a good person.
Sure, the deck was unpermitted, but...
Is that what this is, God? Is this about the deck?

It's just that we were hurt.
HETTY:We have all this knowledge and no lives
with which to use it.
I mean, we can't even leave the property.
Wait, seriously?
Carol, not now.
But through you, in some small way,
we get to continue to live.
It's like they say-- you have the whole world,
but you're our whole world.
Hetty?
