Ghosts Season 2 Episode 3 Review: Jay’s Friends

Jay’s seek for some new associates has come again to hang-out him.

Instead of a vigorous group of individuals he can hang around with, Jay has attracted a cult on Ghosts Season 2 Episode 3. And sadly, the scenario obtained manner uncontrolled.

It’s simply one other day on the Woodstone Manor. Thankfully, we have the ghosts to avoid wasting the day!

“Jay’s Friends” was a lightweight misadventure for the brand new mattress and breakfast. An straightforward and cozy downside for the group to resolve that did not trigger many waves or large hurdles.

At most occasions, the occasions felt like filler.

We weren’t launched to something tremendous necessary through the battle towards Micah, and Pete’s points with Sasappis got here and went with none main points. If it wasn’t for Flower’s reconciliation along with her brother, there would not have been something memorable from the episode.

Don’t get me improper, the group’s shenanigans have been enjoyable and the takedown of Micah obtained some laughs. It’s simply when evaluating it with different episodes from Ghosts, “Jay’s Friends” did not stand out as a lot.

Speaking of Micah, Jay’s first warning indicators ought to’ve been the patches and the way the group spoke of Micah.

It’s one factor for a gaggle of associates to talk extremely of somebody, however it’s one other for them to deal with him like an untouchable chief. Members like Norm and Alana have been talking about Micah like he was an all-knowing and all-seeing being. And that it was an honor to get any recommendation from him.

Jay ought to’ve picked up on that straight away.

Flower: You imply the cult?
Alberta: Yes, Flower!
Flower: Huh… no one ever talks a few cult being within the improper.
Alberta: I really feel like folks do.

Though, all the group sporting the identical patches on their arms was one other lifeless giveaway. All the advantages they listed could not have been positioned in a single patch, and it felt cult-like for the way they wanted to put on them.

It’s a miracle that Micah obtained a gaggle of individuals to imagine his lies. They have been so outlandish that they could not be true, however histories about cults have taught us that something can occur. And then we’re left with True Crime podcasts explaining the way it obtained that manner.

Jay and Sam are fortunate that the contract would not maintain up in courtroom. As a rule of thumb: you all the time have to learn the positive print and contracts earlier than signing!

Fighting that settlement in courtroom would’ve considerably broken the enterprise. Micah knew precisely what he was doing to get what he needed.

Though, the deadline being set till the tip of time appears like one thing that might’ve made the contract null and void. It’s an unrealistic time period of situations that might be out of their palms. Also, the settlement was buried deep inside a product buy order, in order that they have been coping with fraud too.

Jay and Sam may’ve known as the police to get them arrested and off the property.

Did anybody else love how Hetty and Flower helped save the day?

Hetty is getting extra scandalous and saucier by the week. The previous Hetty would’ve by no means taken a peak at Micah altering, however fortunately, she did as she had the proof to border him.

Flower’s recommendation can typically be on the market, however she is aware of her cults properly. She knew precisely find out how to fracture them and tear that group aside in seconds. If Micah hadn’t give you an answer, his whole group would’ve imploded.

Tell them you understand concerning the moles on his proper buttock. Trust me!

Hetty

The mixture of the ghosts and Sam working collectively was one other wonderful option to present their expertise in fixing the issue.

Sam and Jay would’ve by no means realized the group was a cult with out Trevor and Flower’s warnings. And they would not have the plan to take action with out Flower and Hetty. It all got here collectively as a well-connected plan.

Regarding Pete’s points with Sasappis, the B-plot appeared prefer it did not slot in. Did something occur past Pete altering his vibe a bit earlier than turning again?

Sure, it is sensible why Pete was upset that his cheeriness wasn’t appreciated. He went by way of the identical challenge throughout Ghosts Season 1 when he did not wish to be pushed round by the group anymore.

Sam: Now, it’s bear season. So for those who see any…
Flower: Do not hug them! You’re gonna wanna hug them however don’t!
Sam: Just hold your distance.

Pete is a beautiful, optimistic, and completely satisfied one that is taken without any consideration by the group.

His change to the extra dramatic and indignant Pete was fairly noticeable; it considerably shifted from who he was. Though he reverted fairly rapidly, it did not appear to be he or Sasappis discovered one thing from their roommate rigidity.

It was a minor challenge that got here and went with none large concern.

Flower exploring her previous in a cult and her reconciliation along with her brother ought to’ve been centered on extra. This story should not have been the C-plot.

We’ve discovered bits and items about Flower’s previous cult life, however her sharing the story about her brother trying to find her was a heartbreaking growth. It was a giant second when she found that he was nonetheless alive; extra time and focus have been wanted to offer this a highlight remedy.

And when she learn his electronic mail, I used to be shocked that she did not get “sucked off” to the afterlife.

Alberta: Sam, if Trevor saying even the new one has to go, we’ve got to take him critically.
Sam: That is alarming, however I’m positive there may be an harmless clarification.
Hetty: Samantha, if Jay actually is being supplied a snake oil alternative, one should at the least entertain the notion.

What does she have to do to seek out peace? The electronic mail was emotional and resolved a variety of previous guilt she had. The scene would’ve been a good way to tie up Flower’s story since she addressed her previous cult life-style and located closure along with her brother.

Maybe we’ll get to see him sooner or later? It could possibly be the trick for locating her peace.

Last Thoughts From Woodstone Manor:

• 
  Micah bringing all his followers to the manor for yoga was an enormous pink flag. Never present as much as a spot you were not invited to; it’s extremely impolite.
  
   
• 
  I really feel Flower’s lack of reminiscence will come again as a twist sooner or later. She’ll have seen one thing or know one thing that can make an enormous distinction.
  
   
• 
  Norm wants to comprehend he would not want Micah or the group. None of them respect him or deal with him properly.

Now, over to you, Ghosts followers.

What did you consider “Jay’s Friends”?

Will we ever see Micah once more sooner or later? Which ghost do you suppose would be the first to get sucked off? Did you want the brand new model of Pete?
