Ghosts Should Have Saved Its Jay Twists In Season 4

"Pilot"/"Hello!" - Samantha and Jay throw both caution and money to the wind when they decide to convert a rundown country estate they inherited into a bed & breakfast - only to find it's inhabited by the many opinionated spirits of deceased residents who now call it home. Also, when Sam thinks she's crazy because she continues to see the ghosts of Woodstone Manor, she tries to ignore them, making them even more determined to get her to acknowledge they're real, on the special one-hour series premiere of the new CBS Original comedy GHOSTS, Thursday, Oct. 7 (9:01-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+. The one-hour premiere will be seamless with back-to-back episodes.

More than anything, I wish Ghosts had waited to let its Jay twist play out. The news is a major spoiler, and I wish I hadn’t known this considerable plot twist going into Ghosts season 4. Like many viewers, I enjoy the suspense and twists of any story. Jay’s new ability coming as a surprise would have been a real treat. Now, I will anticipate the moment that Jay can see ghosts rather than be thrillingly caught off-guard. It would have been a real mind-bender unveiled organically.

The series employed a similar tactic ahead of Ghosts season 2, teasing that Jay would be able to see the dead in the show’s sophomore run.

Now that the series has released this update, I’m afraid that the Ghosts season 4 twist is a fakeout to garner attention. The series employed a similar tactic ahead of Ghosts season 2, teasing that Jay would be able to see the dead in the show’s sophomore run. Instead, when season 2 aired, Jay’s ability to see the dead was just wishful thinking. After experiencing a life-threatening fall in the Ghosts season 1 finale, Jay hopes that he can see the dead due to the circumstances that had him knocking on death’s door, but it doesn’t pan out
