Ghosts Season 4 Episode 18 Preview: Ghost Traps Get the Girl
Caught between his long-time crush and dream ghost gal, Sas sets out on a dangerous mission to reunite with Shiki.
Ghosts Season 4 Episode 18, “Smooching and Smushing,” dusts off the broken ghost trap in hopes of having it carry Sas across the mansion’s boundary and straight into the arms of his love.
However, the stakes escalate when Sam hires a dangerous ghost exterminator to fix the broken machine, and Sas learns that attempting to leave the property could have consequences.
Meanwhile, Joan attempts to help Sas prevail in his mission to see Shiki while battling her growing feelings for the storyteller.
Much to our delight, Hetty and Trevor reunite for more Power Friends shenanigans. This time, H-Money sets their sights on teaching Flower a valuable lesson while the rest of the house is occupied with Sas.
Unfortunately, these two anarchist lovers may have picked the wrong ghost to mess with this time.

What Happened on the Previous Episode?
Previously on Ghosts, Pete made good on his promise to set Sas up with an eligible ghost gal when he introduced the storyteller to Joan, a fellow roamer and 1940s scriptwriter with a knack for stories. Despite their chemistry, Sas found he was still hung up on Shiki.
So Pete asked Shiki once and for all if she had romantic feelings for Sas. The Lenape woman wasn’t interested until she found out Sas was the one to leave her a dead deer all those years ago. While she was smitten with the gesture, the ghosts were not and chose to lie to Sas so that he would move on with Joan. When Sas found out they lied, he came clean to Joan about his feelings for Shiki, and she offered to help get his girl with the help of the ghost trap — the possible key to crossing the Woodstone boundaries.
