Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Ghosts season 4 episode 12, “It’s the End of the World as We Know It and What Were We Talking About?"
WhileGhostsseason 4, episode 12 might have revealed a major new ghost power, it is tough to tell whether this one will make another appearance in the series anytime soon.The ghosts of CBS’sGhostsare a varied bunch, and their supernatural powers are almost as unusual as their clashing personalities. Thor has known that he can manipulate electricity since the sitcom began, while Sass only discovered his ability to enter the dreams of living people in season 3.
WhileGhostsseason 4’s new character Patiencehad the chilling ability to make the walls bleed human blood, this was not the only impressive ghost power that Sam and Jay have encountered in the sitcom’s latest outing. Ever since he discovered his ability to temporarily leave the environs of the Woodstone B&B, Pete has been going on frequent trips overseas and even went to Norway to finally find out the truth behindThor’sGhostsbackstory.
The Basement Ghosts Proved They Do Have A Ghost Power After All
In season 4, episode 12, “It’s the End of the World as We Know It and What Were We Talking About?,” the basement ghosts reveal that they have a shared power of their own, much to the chagrin of Sam and Jay. Flower tries to warn the couple that her cult leader, Bruce, said the apocalypse was coming on the night of Jay’s restaurant opening. However, the couple was too busy for her paranoid ramblings. AsGhostsseason 4 gave Bela a stronger supporting rolehelping out the opening night, Flower took matters into her own hands by enlisting the basement ghosts.
Only time will tell if this ghost power makes another appearance.
It turned out thatthe basement ghosts can give living people cholera, although only temporarily, and not contagiously. This gruesome fate befell the entirety of Jay’s staff at once, meaning Sam finally had to talk to Flower about the apocalypse and her naïveté. Fortunately, Sam, Alex, Jay, and Bela were able to open the restaurant with the help of the ghosts filling in for the kitchen staff, and the episode’s ending revealed the workers all made a full recovery off-screen. Only time will tell if this ghost power makes another appearance.
Will The Basement Spirits' Powers Appear Again (& How?)
The Basement Ghosts Play A Relatively Minor Supporting Role In Ghosts
It seems unlikely thatGhostsseason 4 will revisit the power of the basement ghosts, since they rarely play a major role in the sitcom and the topic of cholera is not that funny in general. However, the sequence was a light-hearted plot twist, no serious harm was done, and season 4 has given the basement ghosts a bigger role in the sitcom.Ghostsseason 4’s complicated plotsoften sideline major characters, meaning it feels like there is little room for supporting stars like the basement ghosts.
Ghosts Season 4’s Alexander Hamilton Isn’t As Special As You Think After A New Update
Ghosts season 4’s Hamilton cameo sounds a little less impressive since a new bit of behind-the-scenes context was revealed about the character’s role.
That said, Nancy’s possession of Sam played a major part in season 4’s Christmas special “A Very Arondekar Christmas Part 1,” and the basement ghosts also inadvertently brought Patience back to the mansion during season 3’s ending. The basement ghosts might be supporting characters, but they can be pivotal to a lot of plots. As such,Ghostsseason 4 may end up revisiting their newly revealed powers after all.
