Given Port and Wiseman don’t spell everything out precisely with Flower’s ascension, the theory wheels in my mind were bound to turn and, sure enough, there was one rather significant thought that crossed my mind while watching the episode. What if Flower wasn’t “sucked off” after all? Yes, she’s stuck on the property, but what if she wandered off? It isn’t hard to imagine a Season 3 finale that involves Flower stumbling back to the main house and acting like nothing happened.
While I am a big believer Port, Wiseman, and the Ghosts writing team can make just about anything work, I do fear such a pivot might be a bit too severe for highly invested fans. Can you imagine spending the majority of the season coming to terms with a main character moving on, only to find out she was never “sucked off” after all?
Yes, it’s a thought that crossed my mind, but it doesn’t seem to be the path Port and Wiseman are heading down. Port’s emphasis on how Flower getting “sucked off” will influence the entirety of Season 3 via an exploration of grief seems to confirm as much.
“It’s gonna be a huge driver of story, and because of the exploration of grief and also just what that means to everybody in the house, it’s gonna lead to a number of other reveals, including how one of our other ghosts died.”
