Beatrice, Wirt, Greg, and Fred visit a sprawling mansion of a elderly tea tycoon who believes Greg and Wirt are his nephews. While there, Fred and Beatrice try to steal enough loose change to pay for a ferry to Adelaide's, but the old man reveals he has been haunted by the ghost of a beautiful woman.
Tropes:
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Mr. Endicott, though he gets better by the end of the episode. He and Greg get along quite well.
- Didn't Think This Through: Wirt and Beatrice get pretty mad at Greg for throwing their two cents into a fountain.
- Doing In the Wizard: The "ghost" turns out to be a lady named Marguerite Grey whose manor accidentally hooked up to Endicott's.
- Forced Transformation: Beatrice was cursed after throwing a rock at a blue bird. Her family was also turned into birds.
- Heel Realization: Beatrice gets this after Wirt confesses his "dark secrets," though only the keen viewer will realize it.
- Hidden Depths: Wirt confesses that he whispers poetry to himself at night, plays the clarinet, and has a crush on a girl named Sara.
- Kleptomaniac Hero: Fred and Beatrice are really eager to steal the money they need for the ferry. Wirt only agrees to the plan when he finds out that they only need two cents.
- Only in It for the Money: Mr. Endicott admits that not only is he in the tea business for the money, but he doesn't even like tea.
- Real After All: Played with. Endicott worries his vision of a ghost woman were just mad hallucinations. It turns out she is real, but wasn't a ghost.
- Reformed Criminal: Fred the horse becomes this, working for Mr. Endicott as a "tea horse".
- "Shaggy Dog" Story: After jumping through so many hoops just to get two cents, Greg tosses the coins into a fountain, rendering the entire misadventure pointless.
- Sweet and Sour Grapes: Inverted and subverted thanks to Greg. At first Wirt feels guilty for stealing from Mr. Endicott and pretending to be his nephew, and he finds nothing while rummaging through pockets with Beatrice. After finding out the ghost's true identity, however, Endicott and his competitor each give Greg a penny. Then Greg tosses the coins away because he says he's got "no sense. No sense at all."
- Was Once Human: Beatrice reveal that she has been a girl before.
- Why We Can't Have Nice Things: While rummaging for "loose change," Beatrice and Fred destroy Mr. Endicott's vases and furniture, while Wirt destroys a vase by accident.
