"Ghosts" (US) - Season 1 Trivia Quiz

Answer: False

Jay immediately wants to sell the estate from the moment they learn about its existence. Despite Sam's enthusiasm for the B&B idea, he remains hesitant throughout most of the episode until Sam falls down the stairs and ends up in a coma. Jay then realises that he doesn't mind where they live, as long as he's with Sam.

Answer: Instructs him on how to fix the boiler

Sam spends most of this episode trying to ignore the ghosts after Jay points out it's likely an ongoing side effect from her concussion. After visiting the hospital and speaking with a ghost doctor, Sam acknowledges the ghosts' existence and asks them what they want.

In order to convince Jay that she can interact with ghosts, she directs him on how to fix the boiler - something she'd not know how to do on her own - by relaying instructions provided by the ghosts who died of cholera and live in the basement.

Answer: Fix the Roof

Sam argues that they should fix the fountain in front of the mansion as it's the first thing guests will see when they arrive. Jay on the other hand argues that they should focus on the bigger picture and fix the roof.

Although Sam wins the argument, the contractors uncover Thorfinn's bones as they prepare to install new pipes resulting in a further dilemma for Sam and Jay to consider: sell the bones to a museum or give Thorfinn a viking funeral.

Answer: Pickleball

Combining elements of badminton, tennis, and ping-pong, pickleball involves batting a plastic ball (which has holes in it) back and forth across a net. In this episode, the ghosts learn that the Farnsbys demolished their carriage house in order to build a pickleball court in violation with the local Historical Preservation Board ordinances.

As Henry is the chair of this board, Sam uses this information to convince him to approve the permit for their B&B.

Answer: Trevor

At the time Thorfinn burns down the gazebo, Trevor, Alberta and Pete were watching 1984 film 'Ghostbusters'. Now that he's a ghost, it's a lot more disturbing than Trevor remembers (Alberta and Pete are similarly perturbed). When Pete wants to tell Sam and Jay what really happened to the gazebo, Trevor sides with him saying, "We spend our days complaining that Halloween makes us out to be evil and movies paint us to be the villains. But if we let some kids take the fall for something that we did, then aren't we exactly what they say we are? And don't we deserve to be busted?"

This speech changes Sasappis', Hetty's, and Isaac's minds and the ghosts do come clean to Sam and have to live with the consequences (no TV for a week).

Answer: It's Getting Hot In Here

Sam describes the show by saying, "they take 20 sexy singles and they put them in a really cold house so everybody has to stay bundled up and you can't see what anyone looks like - so that the singles can connect emotionally. And then each week, the thermostat gets set higher and higher until by the end, everybody is naked and ideally in love".

Both Sasappis and Thorfinn initially say that the idea of the show is stupid until they find themselves hooked.

Answer: Winky and Shiki

Winky introduces himself first and reveals that he was trampled by a horse. Shiki then introduces herself, says she's Lenape, and that she's been a ghost since the 1500s. Before Sam can tell her that she also knows a Lenape ghost (Sasappis), the editor walks in.

Sam later discovers that Shiki and Sasappis do know each other and their relationship involved unrequited love. This leads to Jay getting involved and helping Sasappis send messages to Shiki via Sam.

Answer: Pete

When Jay's friends "break up with him" (his words), Pete can relate because his character, Gelvin Monkspear, was killed by the Demogorgon in one of his own Dungeons and Dragons campaigns. Jay then has the idea to be Dungeon Master for a campaign with Sam translating for Pete. Alberta and Sasappis also participate and a great time is had by all except Sam who is bored.

When she learns that campaigns can go on for months or even years, she lies to Jay by saying that it was the ghosts who didn't want to play any more.

Answer: Alberta's toenail

Todd says that he bought it online and hoped that one day he might be able to make his own Alberta using just a small piece of nail, comparing it to what the scientists did in the film 'Jurassic Park'.

Upon hearing that Todd's most prized possession was her toenail, Alberta's reaction is a loud "Oh, hell no!" followed by "What is wrong with you, Todd?"

Answer: Squab (pigeon)

Of course, none of the meat options suggested by Hetty are ingredients Sam and Jay have available and there aren't any nearby specialty stores that supply them. As Jay says, "people don't eat boiled calf's heads or beaver tails any more. We found better things".

Coincidentally, Sam and Jay have hired someone to come and remove the pigeons in their attic so Jay pivots and ends up cooking them instead. Since squab is just immature pigeon (generally under 4 weeks old), this is a pretty close match and the meal Jay eventually produces goes over well with the wedding planner.

Answer: Shrimp breath

Sam's mum, Sheryl, died of an allergic reaction at Mojitown - a Mexican restaurant named after a Cuban cocktail featuring decor that includes a cheeseburger playing a (Hawaiin) ukulele. When Sam describes her accident and the role Trevor's power played in it, Sheryl says that her ghost power "sucks" and demonstrates that she can burp on a living and they will smell shrimp.

Answer: L'Chaim

Although all of the options are the equivalent of the English "cheers" in different languages, "L'Chaim" is Hebrew and is commonly used in Jewish families. It literally translates as "to life".

Trevor uses the photo from his online obituary (the only photo of him on the internet) and the text "L'chaim, ladies" as the entirety of his profile however it seems to have worked because he matched with Jay's sister, Bela. When Bela discovers that the person she's been messaging is dead, she initially thinks that Jay and/or Sam are responsible since it was their device that Trevor had been using.

Note: "Kanpai" is Japanese, "Yamas" is Greek, and "Prost" is German.

Answer: They momentarily become horny

Elias uses this power a number of times throughout the episode and one memorable occasion results in the cancellation of the wedding Woodstone Estate was hosting. This leaves Sam and Jay in some financial difficulty until they find an expensive watch on Elias' corpse which they can sell, tiding them over until the B&B gets off the ground.

Answer: Hetty

Pete is upset that Jay enjoyed spending time bonding with his contractor Mark whilst watching basketball when this was a pastime he and Jay used to enjoy doing together (with Sam as the intermediary of course). Despite Flower offering to watch basketball with him a couple of times, Pete's too focused on Jay ditching him to realise he's done the same to Flower.

When Flower is feeling down about this, Hetty tells her to not just sit there and take being disrespected by a man, but rather get up and do something about it. Flower is shocked and responds with, "Damn Hetty! Are you a feminist now?"

Answer: Oskar

Not only did Thorfinn kill Oskar but he also ate him raw. Although everyone is initially horrified and disgusted by this revelation, Thorfinn then reveals that it was the depths of winter, they were starving, and importantly, that Oskar was a squirrel.

Answer: Chekhov Chill

The prank involved someone hiding a Chekhov Chill and whoever finds it must immediately drop to one knee and drink the bottle in one go whilst the other 'bros' surround him chanting "chill!" with gusto.

Trevor had to do this on the night that he died and the alcohol, mixed with the drugs he took, likely contributed to his death.

Answer: Prom

Stephanie was the victim of a chainsaw murderer who'd escaped from a local mental facility in 1987. As a ghost, she sleeps for almost the entire year and only stays awake for approximately one day.

Answer: No

The procedure involves sourcing ingredients that were incredibly rare in Thorfinn's time: sugar and cinnamon. All Sam needs to do is pour them into boiling water whilst Thor speaks an incantation and the curse shall immediately be broken.

Alberta questions whether this will reverse all the negative effects caused by the curse and therefore cause Sam to lose the ability to see and interact with the ghosts. Thorfinn doesn't know (he's never had so much sugar before!) and after some moving speeches from each of the ghosts, Sam decides she can't go through with the procedure if there is even a small chance.

Answer: Nigel

Isaac finally admits to himself that he's developed feelings for Nigel in episode 15 ('Thorapy') after he tries to seduce Hetty and can't bring himself to even kiss her "comely nape" (as he put it). When apologising to her, he says that he was trying to prove something to himself and that it's Nigel who's caught his eye. She is shocked but understanding.

Answer: No

The only times we've seen ghost characters leave the estate is at the beginning of the pilot episode when Sam's great aunt dies and ascends to another realm, and when Hetty's ex-husband Elias descends to Hell in episode 13 ('The Vault').

In episode 10 ('Possession'), Hetty unsuccessfully tries to leave the estate whilst possessing Jay and in the same episode, we see Flower unable to leave the estate whilst chasing a butterfly.
