Fans are without a doubt about to have the best laugh of the week with the next Ghosts episode airing this Thursday. Titled “Alexander Hamilton and the Ruffle Kerfuffle,” we will see Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) become fixated on the success of a fellow chef, while Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones) serves up a cautionary tale about his own rivalry with one Alexander Hamilton (Nat Faxon). As expected, CBS has dropped a couple of sneak peeks from the upcoming episode, teasing the exciting drama and hilarious affair ahead.
Alexander is that one archenemy, Isaac, can’t seem to get over in Ghosts, which is apparent in one of the recently released clips from the sitcom’s next episode. The video shows a not-so-memorable encounter between the duo that Isaac will eventually unpack later in the episode, as he hinted as much in another sneak peek. Unlike the former, the video centers on the troubles Jay is experiencing with his new restaurant, particularly the lack of customers. To top it off, Pete (Richie Moriarty) can’t find any bright side to the situation, which is a rarity.
Jay is stumped about his restaurant’s problems, prompting him to compare himself to a fellow chef as he points out to Sam (Rose McIver), “I don’t get it. I’m serving great food. Meanwhile, Connor’s (from Jay’s culinary school, whom he hates) place is packed every night.” Isaac quickly compares the situation to his tragic tale about “how an obsession with a nemesis can derail one’s own promising career.” He obviously means Alexander, who apparently ruined his chance to become someone history remembers by wearing the exact ruffle he reserved at Henry’s haberdashery to the same exclusive event they both attended.
