Recap / Ghosts US Seasson 1 Episode 9 Albertas Fan

Go To

Original air date: 12/2/2021

Alberta is thrilled when a super-fan visits the mansion, but gets creeped out when she learns that he seems to be obsessed with her. Meanwhile Thor convinces Hetty to go on a walk that would hopefully spark a special memory.


Tropes:

  • Character Title
  • I See Dead People: Young children can occasionally see ghosts as well, although they eventually lose that ability when they grow older. Hetty realizes that she used to fall asleep to Thorfinn's lullabies when she was growing up in the mansion as a young girl.
  • Loony Fan: Jazz historian Todd Pearlman visits Woodstone to do some research on Alberta. He seems normal at first, but then he smells Alberta's clothes multiple times and shows everyone the toenail clipping he bought online. Then he reveals the Alberta tattoo he has on his back.
  • Mass "Oh, Crap!": Todd, the titular fan, is found on the floor suffering from a severe case of food poisoning, and everyone freaks out at the prospect of him dying and possibly coming back as another ghost they would all be stuck with for eternity.
  • Stalker with a Crush: Todd Pearlman visit Sam and Jay in hopes of learning more about Alberta and solving her 'murder'. Alberta is thrilled at first until it becomes clear that he's less a historian and more creepy loser with an obsessive crush, to the extent of having a huge tattoo of her face on his back and keeping one of her toenails in hopes of some day cloning her so they could be together.
  • Whodunnit to Me?: In previous episodes, Alberta is convinced she was murdered and asks Samantha to solve her murder, even though the other ghosts say she just had a heart attack. This episode proves she was right, as her moonshine was poisoned.
