While Isaac is getting financial advice from Trevor (Asher Grodman) about whether he should invest in Sam and Jay’s restaurant, there’s another major story unfolding in the background. Carol is new to Woodstone after having tragically died eating a doughnut hole on Halloween and is now getting acquainted with the spirits. During her adjustment, she is followed around by Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky) and Sasappis (Román Zaragoza) who are curious to know what’s in her purse because, as it turns out, when you die, everything you die with is on you. With Carol showing them what’s inside, she offers them candies (previously believed to have been an Easter egg for Isaac). But as she tries to share, the candy snaps back into her hands. It’s at this moment we get our first hint of the magnetic power all these items have to the spirit that holds them.
Meanwhile, Pete is trying his hardest to not look like a loser to Carol, so he puts on a ruse about how he too, has moved on. Much to her chagrin, Alberta helps Pete out — as does the cholera ghost, Nancy (Betsy Sodoro), which prompts Carol to believe he is a cheater. She then offers advice to Pete about cheating while denying the experience firsthand. Instead, she chalks it up to the drama she has learned from soap operas. Frustrated by Carol’s constant suggestions about how to manage the two and her shrouding her alleged infidelity, he breaks down and tells her he isn’t like her. Though Carol tries to explain, the scoutmaster asserts himself as Alberta listens intently.
In the next scene, Alberta tells Pete how much she admires his standing up to Carol and speaking from the heart. But as they are chatting, Pete suddenly pulls the arrow from his neck to scratch an itch, and The Thompson Twins’ “If You Were Here” starts playing. Alberta, in awe, gazes at Pete as a warm hue saturates the space around him. He runs his fingers through his hair in slow motion and tosses his head from side to side as Alberta watches on in a newfound, amorous daze. But that is cut short onlywhen Pete lets go of the arrow, and it abruptly flies back into his neck like a magnet, forcing his gag reflex. At this moment, we get our first major clue about how Woodstone’s supernatural lore could save Flower.
