Ghosts S4E15 “The Bachelorette Party” — A Note Sustained

Spoilers for Season 4, Episode 15 of CBS’s Ghosts below.

For most of its runtime, “The Bachelorette Party” keeps things light. There’s party chaos, mild bickering, a few moments of Alberta wrestling with how she wants to be remembered. Nothing too dramatic. But then—Alberta hums.

It’s just a soft, brief note. But it holds everything the episode can’t say out loud.

That hum carries regret. Distance. Maybe even shame. It’s not framed as a confession, but it is one—a small moment of self-awareness in a life that rarely paused long enough to reflect. In a house where noise is constant, this moment lands because it’s quiet. Because it dares to linger.

And that’s the heart of the episode, more than any punchline or party disaster. The story pivots on a single sustained breath—a reminder that Alberta, for all her bravado, is still making peace with who she was.

Then, just as the mood deepens, Ghosts does what it often does: it shifts. An Australian male stripper named Chris appears, newly dead and very confused. His entrance is jarring, but deliberate. The timing almost feels surgical.

Alberta opens something up. The universe rushes to fill the space.

It’s not a loud episode. But it hums with meaning. And sometimes, that’s enough.
