D&D

**D&D** is the eighth episode of Season 1 in the American sitcom *Ghosts* and the 8th episode overall. It premiered on November 18, 2021.

## Plot

Sam volunteers to help Jay and the ghosts play Dungeons & Dragons together when Jay's D&D group abandons him. Sam then discovers that an old shed on the mansion's grounds was a British barracks during the Revolutionary War, now occupied by three ghosts of British soldiers, one of whom, Nigel, learns that Isaac, who has secretly requited feelings for him, accidentally shot and killed him.

## Quotes

**Isaac**: Troops, we're running low on fresh water, so I must speak against this ridiculous new trend of hand-washing.

**Jay**: Seriously, this is super creepy! Are you guys still in here? Please leave.

## Cast

### Main cast

* Rose McIver as Samantha Arondekar
* Utkarsh Ambudkar as Jay Arondekar
* Brandon Scott Jones as Isaac
* Danielle Pinnock as Alberta
* Richie Moriarty as Pete
* Asher Grodman as Trevor
* Sheila Carrasco as Flower
* Román Zaragoza as Sasappis

### Guest cast

* Tristan D. Lalla as Mark
* John Hartman as Nigel Chessum
* Chad Andrews as Baxter
* Christian Daoust as Jenkins

## Historical notes

* When Samantha is with the contractor, Mark, to disassemble the shed Lieutenant Colonel Nigel Chessum comes out with his men protesting the barracks as the sovereign territory of "His Royal Highness King George III." A British officer of the Revolutionary War would have referred to his monarch as "His Britannic Majesty King George III" and would not have used the title "Highness," which is used to refer to princes, not kings.
* Isaac invents the telescopic sight in 1777 (the "Eye-Saac"). In reality, the first telescopic sight mounted to a rifle was indeed during the Revolutionary war. In the winter of 1775-1776 Charles Willson Peale collaborated with David Rittenhouse to mount a telescopic sight onto a rifle. The invention was largely a dud, much like Isaac's "Eye-Saac."

## Trivia

* Utkarsh Ambudkar is an avid Dungeons and Dragons player and has played his character "Hitch" in celebrity D&D games with other celebrity players.
* This is the first time an episode opens with a point in Isaac's life when he was alive.
* Sasappis mentions that Pete's best friend slept with his wife which was first revealed in the episode Pete's Wife.
* This is the first appearance of Nigel Chessum in the series.
* This is also the first appearance of the shed on the property.
* Out of all of the ghosts only Trevor, Isaac, and Hetty didn't play.
* Neither Hetty nor Thorfinn appear in this episode.
* At the end of the scene of the D&D session between the British and American ghosts, Jay "rolls for initiative" which shouldn't be the case, as the players were already engaged in combat. Also, he says he gets a twenty and the players cheer, which they shouldn't since Jay as DM would be rolling for enemy combatants' initiative, and the higher the number the sooner in the turn order he would get to go.
Bunny Beg-Chetwynde

**Bunny Beg-Chetwynde** is the wife of Barclay Beg-Chetwynde, and neighbour to Alison and Mike. She seems to be confused, and after drinking copious amounts of alcohol, she grows incredibly drunk. However, she does seem to be quite nice, as she is polite to Alison, in contrast to her husband.

She appears in the episode Moonah Ston and is although not seen, is next to Barclay in bed when he heard robbers in Bump In The Night.

## Trivia

* She can eat beef, "but she shouldn't", according to Barclay. After eating beef lasagna and drinking a lot of wine, she becomes very drunk and confused.
* She and her husband own a strip of land in front of the entrance to Button House.
* She is a terrible driver and crashed into the fountain in front of Button House.
* She gets Alison's name correct at first, though Barclay tells her it is Annabel, so she then calls her Annabel.
David Woodstone

**David Woodstone** is the son of Sophie Woodstone and the great-great-great-grandson of Hetty Woodstone. He is partly responsible for Trevor's death.

## Biography

David was there the night that Trevor died. He pulled out a secret drug drawer with the intention of everyone taking random unlabeled pills. He did not stop Trevor from mixing two unknown pills. When Trevor collapsed in cardiac arrest, rather then calling the ambulance or the police he called his dad. He and his friends later took Trevor's body, weighed it down, and dumped it in the lake.

David hadn’t been to Scores (a New York strip club) since he got banned when he tried to get an autographed from Gary Dell'Abate.

In the Pilot, it's revealed that he died some time before his mother. He told Sam as of 1993 he couldn’t get a woman pregnant because he was "shooting blanks" since his dipped his testicles in a hot pot of coffee (because his friend Ari didn't think he'd do it) and therefore his mother, Sophie Woodstone, has no direct heir through her son. Since he predeceased his mother, when she dies the house goes to her great-niece Samantha.

### Death

He died at a strip club and his ghost is hanging around the club with another ghost as shown in The Heir. He says he had an aneurysm while his face was pressed between a stripper's breasts. He jokes that he says he died in a "motor boating accident" ("motor boating" is slang for rubbing one's face between a woman's breasts).

## Trivia

* Trevor remarks that he was "obsessed with strippers."
* Samantha Arondekar calls him her uncle when they are actually cousins. It's likely that's the first relation that she thought of talking to Ari.
* He has a secret drug drawer that he kept at Woodstone Mansion.
* Sam never really knew him personally, she lies saying that they had a few chats together.
* He can't handle going to the Sheraton (a semi-luxury hotel) much less jail.
* He took part of the hazing and has been hazed before.
* In the episode Trevor's Pants, Hetty calls him a "louse" (a mean or despicable person).
* It's noted in The Heir he liked exotic dancers.
* His actor played David in two episodes, a flashback and when he died, implying that he died young and not long after Trevor.

The Pigeon Ghost

**The Pigeon Ghost** is the ghost of a pigeon that died after one of Barclay Beg-Chetwynde’s bitches managed to catch it in her jaws mid-flight in the grounds of Button House.

## Biography

### Life

The pigeon originally lived in what would become Mike and Allison’s bedroom in Button House and was still there when they moved in after the death of Lady Heather Button. However, Mike and Allison persisted to shew it out and try and keep it out of the house. However, the pigeon kept finding different ways to get in. The pigeon met its fate when Barclay Beg-Chetwynde, his wife Bunny, and their dogs (referred to as “bitches”) came to visit Allison and Mike just after they’d moved in.

The pigeon took the opportunity of the door being open when the Beg-Chetwyndes were leaving to try and get back inside the house after Allison had shewed it out that morning, but just as it was flying through the door, Barclay called “bitches!” and the dogs came running out of the house, one of them catching the bird in its jaws mid-flight and mauled it to death shortly afterward.

### Death

Upon its death, the pigeon became a ghost and did not move on, this may be because it wished to stay around and haunt Allison for a bit longer. The morning after it’s death, the pigeon ghost is in Mike and Allison’s room when they wake up and gives Allison a big shock since she thought it was still alive even though she’d just seen it die yesterday. The pigeon then proceeded to fly towards Allison, with her only realising it was a ghost when she claps her hands together to try and catch it, but it flies right through her hands.

## Trivia

* It is likely that the reason the pigeon did not move on because it wanted to stay around and bother Allison for a bit longer.
* The pigeon is the only animal’s ghost that we have seen so far in either the BBC Series or the CBS Series.
* The pigeon ghost does not appear in later episodes of series 1 or in any of the series after that, so it is possible that the pigeon moved on after it had had some fun with Allison or may just live with the alive pigeons in the grounds because animals can see ghosts.

Hitchhiker

> "Were you murdered while hitch-hiking too?"― Hitchhiker to Alison[src]
>
>

The **hitchhiker** is a young adult or teenager who was killed by whoever gave her a ride. Alison stumbles across her while trying to get home to Button House in order to stop thiefs. She greets the hitchhiker initially believing she's alive, but when she asks if Alison was murdered as well, she realizes her mistake and tries to politely walk away.

## Biography

There has been no indication as to who murdered her, nor what exactly her cause of death was. Despite having been killed while trying to get a ride she appears to continue hitch-hiking into present day; it is unknown if she ever makes it to her destination or indeed if she's ever been picked up post-death, though what we know about ghosts suggests it is unlikely. Few living people can see ghosts at all and even if she was picked up, she would probably be unable to move far from the spot she was found.

## Appearance

The hitchhiker is a young woman with dark hair worn in pigtails which has come loose in places, presumingly during her murder. Her clothing was colorful at one point with flowers and geared towards colder weather. Nothing in her appearance gives away precisely when she was murdered but it can be assumed, based on her clothing and other things, it was some time in the last fifty years, in the 1970s.

## Trivia

* She is possibly a reference to the legend of hitchhiker ghosts that get picked up by drivers, take the driver's jacket or clothing, disappear, and the passenger finds out they're dead with the clothing on the gravestone.
Headless Ghosts

Candidate for deletionThis page has been nominated for deletion. *Reason: Pages on each ghost type is not necessary since it's repeating what's on the character pages*Remember to check what links here and the page history before deletion.

## Headless Ghosts

### Rank in Ghost Society

Usually quite low

**A Headless Ghost** is a ghost that died via decapitation and the ghost’s head can be easily separated from the body.

## Notable Individuals

The two most notable ghosts that died via decapitation and became headless ghosts were Crash (from Ghosts US) and Humphrey Bone (from UK Ghosts).

Crash’s death and fate is predominantly unknown, all we understand is that his head was removed in the process of his death, but we know that Humphrey’s head was sliced off by two swords which swung down that the wall above the fireplace in Button House when he climbed out of the fireplace he’d been hiding in. This rendered his head separated from his body, hence why they are two different parts of his ghost-self.

Both of these ghosts are not treated as main ghosts by the others, since they are often having trouble finding their heads and keeping them on, but are always treats fairly when they are in full form. They are of higher social ranking than the Disease Ghosts and are treated better by mainstream ghosts.

### Specific/Special Ghost Abilities

There are no known advantages or powers that come with being a Headless Ghost. Neither Crash nor Humphrey have been seen to have powers or special abilities and are both unable to interact with the living world in any way (except through those that can see ghosts of course).

Eleanor

## Eleanor Higham

* Eleanor played by Richie
* Eleanor played by Sidi

**Eleanor** was a Georgian noblewoman and the adoptive sister of Kitty. She appears in the episode Something to Share? where she is portrayed by two actors: Charlotte Ritchie as Kitty's idealized memory of her, and more briefly by Emma Sidi as she really was.

## Appearance

Eleanor was a dark-haired white woman of roughly the same age as Kitty.

## Personality

Outwardly, Eleanor gave the impression of being a good friend to her adopted sister Kitty, but in truth she was cruel and resented the fact that her father acknowledged Kitty as his own, and intended to split his estate equally between them when she didn't share the the same blood. She often "played games" with Kitty which were actually a way of punishing her sister, though Kitty's trusting nature meant that she never realized this, to the extent that Kitty still has an idealized image of Eleanor more than 200 years later (and, being a ghost in Button House, presumably having seen Eleanor's life after her own death). Eleanor also enjoyed gloating about her legitimacy to Kitty, and would state that she was their mother's "true" daughter.

After Kitty's death, she realised that she loved her sister and regretted how she behaved.

Creepy Dirk was nominated to stand against Alberta and Isaac by one of the other Cholera ghosts and won the election with a total of six votes, and had a majority of three votes, meaning he got double the amount of votes Alberta and Isaac got.
Beatrice

**Beatrice Higgintoot** was the wife of Isaac. She only appears in the CBS series in the episode The Christmas Spirit.

## Biography

When Isaac narrates to Sam about his life, he says that his wife Beatrice was a "handsome woman." Then goes on to say they slept in separate bedrooms to "keep their flame alive." Isaac did mention that they have kissed before.

In the episode The Christmas Spirit, she affectionately called Isaac cricket since he would "chirp endlessly like a cricket." She had sewn him a handkerchief with a little cricket on it. When Issac told the ghosts about Beatrice, Sasappis revealed that he remembered a woman call Issac the name cricket and how he thought she was a nurse as he witnessed Issac's dying moments, in which it is turns out Beatrice came to the camp Issac was stationed. Upon finding him, she told the latter that she was there for him and changed his clothes into his proper uniform before he died (which Isaac had assumed one of his men did). Upon hearing she stayed with him as he died, Issac was shocked and touched to hear how much Beatrice cared for him and this motivated him to move on by coming out.

## Trivia

* It's *likely* that she and Isaac had at least one child since Hetty says "they were all parents" when they talk to Sam and Jay about the vandals needing a punishment in the episode Halloween. Only Sasappis vocalizes that he didn't have kids.
* It's also likely that she knew that Isaac was gay but still loved him.
* She is mentioned in the episode Pete's Wife, when Isaac says that he wouldn't blame her if she remarried his best mate Edward.
Tad

**Tad** was the boyfriend of Stephanie before she was killed by a chainsaw killer who found them making out on the Woodstone Mansion property and decided to kill them. However Tad’s fate remains ambiguous due to not being seen as an ghost in the present day nor mentioned by Stephanie or the other Woodstone Ghosts.

## Biography

### Life

Tad was born in 1969 to two parents. He attended the same high school as his girlfriend Stephanie in Hudson Valley and was considered one of the most popular boys in school, and Stephanie was the most popular girl. They started dating in High School. Tad got a car when he was about 16 or 17 which he could drive himself. He was planning on going to the school prom night in 1989 the night Stephanie was killed. He pulled up just on the property and started making out with Stephanie when a major announcement suddenly appeared on the radio which said that there was an escaped convict who was a chainsaw serial killer on the loose.

Tad said that it was unlikely that the convict would even be nearby and that if he was, he wouldn’t care about some kids making out in a car. However, just seconds after he says this, he is proved wrong by the sound of a chainsaw revving. Both Tad and Stephanie turned to see what was happening and saw their killer running towards them. Stephanie and (presumably) Tad were then violently murdered.

### Death

Tad may have become a Ghost for a short while, but it’s more likely he ascended to the afterlife straight away.

## Trivia

* Tad and Stephanie’s deaths were not allowed to be shown on screen in the episode Attic Girl because the violence would be too graphic. As such, there’s no evidence that Tad died with Stephanie. Some have theorised that Tad pushed Stephanie away last minute and escaped leaving Stephanie to die. However, it is most likely Tad died because the Chainsaw Killer was approaching the car door on Tad’s side, making it unlikely for Tad to be able to escape as by the time he would have realised his doom there wouldn’t have been much space for him to escape and he could have been caught. As such, it’s most likely Tad is dead.
* He was considered to be one of the popular boys at his school, with Stephanie being a “mean girl”.
* He lived in the Hudson Valley area.

Stephanie

**Stephanie** is a teen ghost who sleeps through most of the year in the attic of Woodstone Mansion. She appears in the American sitcom *Ghosts*.

## Biography

Stephanie was a popular but cruel high school girl who enjoyed pulling mean pranks. On the night of her prom, she and her boyfriend Tad parked in the driveway of Woodstone Mansion. As they were about to hook up, an escaped chainsaw murderer noticed them and brutally killed Stephanie, and presumably Tad too.

## Death

She starts dating one of the Cholera ghosts, Ralph, in Woodstone's Hottest Couple.

## Trivia

* She is revealed to have been born in the same year as Trevor but died as a teenager. Stephanie tries to flirt with him, much to his discomfort.
* It is unknown if her boyfriend became a ghost or if he moved on, although some fans speculate that he survived since Stephanie's death scene was never shown to the audience or explained in greater detail due to TV Parental Guidelines restricting graphic violence on networks such as CBS.
* She shares her first name with Fanny, making her the third character from the American adaptation to share a name with a character from the original British series (the first being Sam and Clare's wife and the second being Pete and Pat's wives who are both named Carol). Although Fanny doesn't go by her full name.
* She makes fun of Pete's knees in Woodstone's Hottest Couple. Her favorite movie is also noted to be 16 Candles in the same episode. She talked about Frenching a guy at a Flock of Seagulls concert.

## Disease Ghosts

### Traditional Cause of Death

Widespread, contagious diseases such as Cholera and the Bubonic Plague.

### Notable Ghosts

Nancy, Creepy Dirk, Mick, Jeff, John, Nigel

### Location Found

Disease Ghosts often live in the basement.

### Rank in Ghost Society

Very low

**Disease Ghosts** are ghosts that died of a widespread illness or disease that was very contagious. They are treated as lower class ghosts and are not seen as much as the other “main” ghosts.

## Notable Individuals

There are a total of seven named Disease Ghosts - three Cholera Ghosts and four Plague ghosts - seen across Ghosts US and UK Ghosts. These are Nancy, Creepy Dirk, Stuart, Mick, Jeff, John and Nigel. Nancy and Creepy Dirk both died of Cholera, the defining thing that makes them Disease Ghosts, and the other four all died of the Plague.

Nancy, despite being a Cholera ghost, seems to dislike living down in the basement with the others and occasionally takes a trip upstairs to relieve herself of her boredom. However, Creepy Dirk, Mick, Jeff, John and Nigel all seem to be fairly happy to live down in the basement and are alright with socialising predominantly with those from their own time period.

Mick, one of the Plague Ghosts, is slightly disliked by the others and occasionally given a hard time over the fact that he gave the other ghosts the Plague back when they were alive which would ultimately lead to their deaths, but the other Plague ghosts only seem to bring this up when he does something they do not like.

### Life in the Basement

All the ghosts that have died if widespread diseases like Cholera and Plague have lived in the basement and been more of “recurring” ghosts than main ones. They tend to appear at least once every few episodes and mostly keep themselves to themselves living the basements of Woodstone Mansion and Button House. Due to this being their place of living, they have developed a deep fascination for water heaters and boilers alike. The Plague ghosts in the British Ghosts series are seen to have even named the basement’s boiler “Betsy”. The Disease Ghosts of both series are mostly all happy to live down there with possibly the exception of Nancy who goes upstairs every now and then for her own entertainment. However, this exception aside, they are alright with living down there and only take occasional trips upstairs, for example when the Plague ghosts went to watch Thomas recite a poem upstairs and when the Cholera ghosts go upstairs to place their votes in an election for Ghosts Spokesperson.
The Thomas Thorne Affair

The duel

**The Thomas Thorne Affair** is the fourth episode of Series 2 of *Ghosts* and the 10th episode overall. It premiered on 12 October 2020.

## Plot

A discovery in the house leads Thomas to go down memory lane, but as Alison comes to realize, memory and reality don’t always go hand in hand, especially when there are ghostly witnesses eager to tell their own version of events. Meanwhile, Mike struggles with his own distorted memories of Alison’s past and dreads confronting an old adversary.

## Trivia

When Kitty is telling the other ghosts about the Highams' party, Pat asks whether they had a buffet, and mentions pineapple, to which Kitty replies that the Highams were wealthy, but not royalty. This is both a reference to Kitty's past in Restoration England, when pineapples were so expensive they were often used only for display, and the series Horrible Histories, that shares most of the cast and where this particular subject was explained.

Jerry

**Jerry** was the best friend of Pete Martino, second husband to Carol Martino and step-father to Laura.

## Biography

### Life

Jerry was likely born in the late 1940s or early fifties and became good friends with Pete. He didn’t get married at a similar time to Pete and Carol however, and was single up until his forties. He began a sexual relationship with Pete’s wife Carol and she cheated on Pete with Jerry.

After Pete’s death by arrow through the neck, Carol was free to do what she wished and got married to Jerry shortly after. However, this did not stop her feeling guilt over it. Jerry and Carol did not have any children, but Jerry was step-father to Carol’s young daughter Laura Martino.

Jerry and Carol did not treat Pete’s life like a not-to-be-discussed matter, they still talked about him every so often and came to Woodstone Mansion when Pete’s ghost showed Sam where to find his troop manual which he knew Carol would come and pick up when she found out it was there. This plan worked and Jerry came with Carol to pick up this book. At first Pete was happy Jerry had come until he realised that they were married.

## Trivia

* Jerry’s British equivalent, Morris, was much shorter than him and didn’t speak much.
* Jerry and Carol were in a relationship whilst Pete was still alive.
* Jerry loves eating meat.
* You couldn’t put it past Jerry to get very drunk at a wedding party. (Quote from Pete).
* He went to Syracuse University as noted in Ghost Father of the Bride.
