'Ghosts' Season 4 Episode 18 "Smooching and Smushing" Recap: Sass Finally Gets the Girl

Finally! Finally Sass gets the girl in Smooching and Smushing and this Ghosts fan could not be more happier! 

Jay tries to fix the ghost catcher trap and it is not going well. He attempts to blow on it like an old video game cartridge and as Trevor points out that does work like 99 percent of the time. The working theory is that because ghosts cannot leave the ghost trap that perhaps that is the only way they are able to travel. Is it just me or wouldn’t the ghosts just get sucked back to where they died once they leave the ghost trap?

But anyway, Sam and Jay hire a ghost trap repair man (I assume you find this very specific repair man in the yellow pages) and learn from him that there is a possibility that once Sass crosses the ghost boundary he may get smushed. Of course this is a problem and causes Sass to reevaluate his plan. He goes to Isaac and Thor for advice because earlier he and Joan had a moment earlier where they almost kissed each other.

During their conversation Sass decides to talk to Joan to see if there is something there and finally stop pinning over his 500 year old crush. Joan and Pete are talking about her feelings for Sass and she decides she wants to confess her feelings and practices on Pete (pretending he is Sass). Well, as you guessed, Sass shows up at the wrong time and thinks that Pete and Joan have feelings for each other. 

Sass decides to try the ghost trap but Joan attempts to tell Sass about her feelings and he is cold to her. Once inside the ghost trap, Pete shows up and explains the miscommunication. Jay loads the ghost trap in his car prepared to take Sass and Thor jumps in to rescue Sass. He and Joan finally get on the same page and reveal their true feelings and kiss. Sass finally has a girlfriend and she can stay. Oh happy day!

"Have sex now! Please just end this!" - Flower

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the episode, Trevor was going to spend his money from his job on some ice skates from his favorite movie but Flower suggested he give the money to charity. Hetty and Trevor come up with an idea to trick Flower into buying something for herself but she one-ups them and uses the money Trevor gave her to buy the skates and will sell them to him for twice their worth. Sometimes Flower is fully aware of what is going on.
