‘Ghosts’ Season 4 Episode 20 “I Know What You Did Thirty-Seven Summers Ago” Recap


Three people stand in a dimly lit room, all appearing concerned. One wears a blue dress, another a pink cardigan, and the third a striped shirt.


Did THAT just happen? I have been waiting for movement on the Pete and Alberta front for the last couple of seasons and it was finally touched upon again on tonight’s episode of Ghosts, I Know What You Did Thirty-Seven Summers Ago. 


Let’s get into the ‘Ghosts’ “I Know What You Did Thirty-Seven Summers Ago” recap.


So even though Pete and Alberta were the B story this episode, in my eyes, they were the main story. Jay is hosting the Mayor’s campaign event and he hopes that if the night goes perfectly, the Mayor can pull some strings to get the permits he needs to reopen his barn restaurant. Having a man fall through the roof and die really isn’t a good look. The roof has been repaired and the permits are the final step. 


Jay talks to his one employee asking him not to celebrate 420 as he needs everything running smoothly. Of course someone who celebrates 420 is not going to smoke. Pete decides to keep an eye on him and because ghosts can smell, Pete accidentally gets high. For some reason this development along with all the changes Pete has gone through this season causes Alberta to see him in a new light and he is now a “bad boy.” Alberta finds Pete listening to jazz music and Alberta makes her move! She leans in to kiss Pete but he stops her with a face palm, a call back to when he tried to kiss her many seasons ago. 


Embarrassed, Alberta leaves. Pete explains to Thor he is taken and does not want to cheat but where does this leave them?


Will we get a follow up? Does Alberta truly have feelings for Pete or was this just a one-off? Guess we will have to wait for the next two episodes to find out. 


Meanwhile, it turns out that the Mayor is connected to ghost Stephanie. He was her prom date and there when she was killed. He tells the story of how he tried to save her but when Stephanie wakes up she tells Sam that he left her to die. Feeling like he shouldn’t get away with that, Sam and Jay call him out at his event only to be told that Stephanie lied.

Sam unsuccessfully tries to walk it back and Stephanie reveals that she lied because after her death he dated her best friend. Turns out they got married and named their child Stephanie, her death brought them closer together. Stephanie forgives him and Sam lies to the Mayor about being high for 420 so he decides to still help them with the permits. 


All well that ends well…except I need to know what happens with Alberta and Pete!
