The two part “Ghosts” Season 6 premiere offers a familiar, cosy Halloween story built around Pete’s disappearance and Hetty’s troubled family history. The review finds the episode entertaining and unexpectedly tender, while noting that its comforting formula is more its strength than a source of surprise.
With Sam away in Australia, Kyle helps Jay care for the ghosts as they try to bring Pete back, despite his request for no séance. A replacement mirror brings Hetty’s estranged sister Margaret into the story; Margaret has been trapped inside it since her death nearly a century ago and swaps places with Hetty. Pete returns before the second episode ends, while the mirror plot briefly raises the possibility of another character being lost.
In short
- The premiere revisits Pete’s disappearance and brings him back before the credits.
- Hetty and her estranged sister are at the centre of the Halloween story.
- The review praises the show’s cosy tone and sweet family storyline.
Explained simply
Ghosts is a comedy about Sam and Jay, a married couple who live in a country house inhabited by spirits from different periods of its history. Sam can see and speak to the ghosts, while Jay generally cannot, so the spirits often rely on her to help them with problems that outlasted their lives.
Pete is one of the house’s ghosts, and Hetty is a former resident whose family history is tied to the property. Their stories sit alongside the everyday lives of Sam and Jay, whose attempts to manage the house and its unusual residents drive much of the series. The show mixes supernatural mishaps with family relationships and a warm, domestic tone, making its Halloween stories part of a broader comedy about life shared across generations.
