It’s more than just a resolution to last season’s big “Who got ‘sucked off’?” cliffhanger that has us eager for the return of Ghosts.
More from TVLine
With Season 3 of the hit CBS comedy arriving Thursday, Feb. 15, we’ve put together a wish list for the forthcoming episodes. Of course, we have a preferred way that we’d like to see that aforementioned cliffhanger scenario play out. But more than that, we’re looking ahead to some other unresolved mysteries involving two spirits that are due for answers.
Meanwhile, a dead-in-the-water romance has us begging for mercy on behalf of a ghost. And then there’s our livings: Jay and Sam’s previous possession adventures have us dreaming up crazy ideas that would shake things up for the married couple.
Plus, we’re putting in a special guest star request for some of Rose McIver’s former TV castmates to drop by the comedy and stage a mini reunion.
What do we hope to see happen in Season 3? Read on for our 5 WANTS, and the 1 thing we DO NOT WANT.
WANT: Answers about two deaths
Thus far, the show has shared the circumstances under which most of the ghosts died, even detailing how Trevor lost his pants that fateful night and revealing who murdered Alberta after a season-long whodunnit. But much remains unknown about how exactly Sas and Hetty lost their lives. Were their deaths humorous mistakes, tragic accidents or tragically intentional? (We don’t trust that Elias Woodstone!) All we know is we can’t wait to find out.
WANT: Pete to move on from his crush
Pete’s feelings for Alberta were cute at first, if slightly out of nowhere, but the jazz singer doesn’t seem to have any romantic interest in the troop leader. Not only has she never returned his feelings, but many times, she’s tried to dismiss them, leading the rest of the ghosts to make fun of constantly rejected Pete. And he’s far too sweet and good to perpetually be crushing on someone who’s just not that into him. (Plus, all the main ghosts hooking up with each other is getting to be a bit too much.)
WANT: Jay to (temporarily) see ghosts
One of the best episodes featured Jay being possessed by Hetty, so let’s take things one step further and let him see the ghosts for just one installment, while his wife Sam loses her ability. Not only would it be loads of fun — just imagine D&D buds Jay and Pete seeing each other for the first time! — but swapping places would also allow Jay and Sam to truly experience and understand the other’s unique situation.
WANT: iZombie guest stars
The CBS comedy has done a stellar job with its guest casting, employing the likes of Veep vet Matt Walsh as Hetty’s husband, Superstore standout Nichole Sakura as Sas’ love interest and Brandon Scott Jones’ The Other Two costar Drew Tarver as a cult leader. But we’d like to put in a special request for one (or more) of leading lady Rose McIver’s iZombie castmates to pop by. We can picture any of the talented and funny actors from the CW dramedy — Robert Buckley, David Anders, Aly Michalka, Rahul Kohli or Malcolm Goodwin — easily fitting into the ensemble, be it as a living or a spirit.
WANT: Sam possessed by Flower
Yes, Sam has already been possessed by Thorfinn. But the brief yet brilliant snippet of her playing Flower during a reenactment on Dumb Deaths, not to mention the instances when she’s walked through the high hippie, have us wishing for an entire episode of Sam-as-Flower. We have no doubt that McIver could pull it off to hilarious effect.
DO NOT WANT: To lose any series regulars
We hope the Season 2 finale’s cliffhanger ending — who, if anyone, got “sucked off” into the great beyond? — has a satisfying and dramatic conclusion that more than makes the long wait for Season 3 worth it. But at the same time, we would hate to see any of the main ghosts that we’ve come to know and love depart the earthly plane for good. It’s just too soon in the show’s life to lose a series regular and to mess with the ensemble’s chemistry. So while it might feel like somewhat of a cheat for a “lesser” character to go, we’d be OK with it if it was done in a fun, inventive way that still had repercussions for our beloved ghosts and/or Sam and Jay.
