Ghosts S04e01 Amr Here

Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky). Her dry, WASP-y horror at Patience’s “uncouth” dirtiness is comedy gold. Watching her try to negotiate with a zealot using cocaine-era socialite logic is a masterclass in farce. The Weird: Where’s the Sass? If there’s one minor quibble, it’s that the premiere feels a bit rushed to reset the status quo. After a tense negotiation, Patience agrees to live in the dirt outside the mansion rather than the basement—effectively writing her out as a recurring threat. It feels like a cheat. A ghost this scary deserved a three-episode arc, not a 40-minute timeout.

The show has promised that Patience will “haunt the perimeter” and return when it snows. Here’s hoping she brings more hellfire (and fewer moles) in Episode 2. ghosts s04e01 amr

Also, the "B-plot"—Jay trying to impress a food critic via Zoom while a ghost screams in the background—is fun but forgettable. We missed Sassapis’ sarcastic commentary and Flower’s spaced-out wisdom. “Patience” is a solid season opener that does exactly what a premiere should: resolve the cliffhanger, introduce a fascinating new dynamic, and remind us why we love this cast. While the resolution comes a little too easily, Mary Holland’s performance as the dirt-crusted Puritan is so perfectly creepy-comedic that you’ll forgive the rushed ending. Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky)
