In this episode, Sam (Rose McIver) discovers a hidden diary belonging to Hetty’s (Rebecca Wisocky) late husband, Elias, revealing a secret about the mansion’s original land deed.

In Episode 8, that dynamic shifts. The plot revolves around Alison and Mike’s desire to take the next step: legally marrying at Button House. It’s a catalyst for the ghosts to project their own romantic fantasies onto the event. This is where the writers, Mathew Baynton and Jim Howick, display their genius. They use the levity of a wedding to expose the profound loneliness of the undead. The essay would highlight a key scene in
If there is a MVP of this episode, it is Mathew Baynton as Thomas Thorne. Thomas has always been the melodramatic foil, the "simp" of the 19th century. It would have been easy for the show to keep him there, as a joke.
