* SympatheticAdulterer: Carol was having an affair with Pete's best friend when Pete was alive. While Pete is obviously and understandably deeply hurt by this, the show doesn't paint Carol as a villain, either. She's still harboring a lot of guilt for betraying Pete, because she knows he didn't deserve it, and comes to Woodstone partially to get it off her chest and find some form of closure that way. She and Pete's best friend genuinely fell in love, and are still together all these years later, showing that she didn't just betray Pete for a fling. Ultimately, Sam and the others help Pete forgive her. [[spoiler:A few years later when she ends up becoming a ghost on Woodstone's property and thinks Pete is cheating on Alberta. She gives him advice on how to cover his tracks this makes him realize how deceptive Carol was all along and he calls her out on it stunning her into silence.]]
