Ghosts Stages Almost-Kiss! Are You Into It? — Plus, New Ghost Rule Is Dope
Remember when Pete had a crush on Alberta on Ghosts and she rejected him, and then the show kind of moved on? Well, the potential pairing might be back on!
During this Thursday episode, Pete volunteers to keep an eye on Gabe, Jay's stoned restaurant employee, and discovers a surprising new ghost ability: Since the spirits can smell, they can get high! Which is a very fitting reveal as it's 4/20 in the installment and the episode is the 20th of the fourth season.

While Gabe is smoking up in his car, Pete starts reminiscing about Bugles (which are still sold in stores and just as delicious as you remember, FYI!). Pete later catches up with Flower, who realizes that he's 'totally baked' like the bread he's been admiring. Naturally, the honorable scout leader is horrified by what's happening to him. He doesn't smoke grass, he cuts grass, he exclaims.
Hetty remarks to Alberta that Pete has, surprisingly, become something of a bad boy. Alberta is skeptical… until Hetty points out how Pete has been wandering and dating up a storm, was secretly in the mafia and punched Thor in the face after the Viking slept with Carol. Now, Alberta is intrigued and goes to Pete, who's still high. Alberta leans in, puckers her lips ever so slightly and… Pete facepalms her, much to her embarrassment. Even though he's had a crush Alberta for the longest time, he can't be a cheater when he's still with Donna.
It's been a while since the series addressed Pete's feelings for Alberta, and her lack of them for him, but could this uncomfortable encounter be hinting at a big change ahead and a new Woodstone couple? Or do you think Alberta is suddenly into Pete for all the wrong reasons?
Elsewhere in the episode, local mayor Tad (guest star Justin Kirk) hosts a campaign event at Jay's restaurant and turns out be attic ghost Stephanie's prom date. Hetty and Isaac think it's a good idea to wake her, but they're the ones who get a rude awakening when an angry Stephanie reveals that Tad left her to die. Stephanie wants Jay and Sam to expose Tad's lies, but Jay is counting on the mayor helping them with the restaurant permits and argues that sometimes it's OK for Sam to pick themselves over helping the ghosts. Stephanie's 'not even one of the main ghosts,' Jay adds. Ha! And also, ouch!
Then basement ghost Nancy shares that she was there that fateful night and Stephanie is lying about Tad, who went after the killer before being knocked out. Stephanie is actually trying to get back at Tad for moving on with her best friend just days after her death. Unfortunately, Jay and Sam already had a change of heart and are outing the mayor in front of his guests, not knowing the truth. Sam bluffs about him passing a test and later lies that they were really high. Tad suggests they just split a gummy in the future and promises to give the permit office a call.
Meanwhile, Stephanie discovers that Tad and her bestie found solace in each other after her death. They, eventually, got married and named their daughter after her, which finally wins mean Stephanie over. Not won over, though? Trevor, by Stephanie's many hilariously blatant advances.
fans, what did you think of the episode? Are you into revisiting the idea of Pete and Alberta as a couple?

Emmys Twist: Dept. Q Enters Drama Series Race at 11th Hour, Potentially Upending 2025 Contest (Exclusive)
Did Netflix just throw a grenade into the Emmy race for the second year in a row? TVLine has learned exclusively that Dept. Q, the Matthew Goode-fronted Scottish thriller that dropped May 29, just two days shy of the eligibility cutoff for this year's Emmys, is being submitted in the Drama Series categories. The acclaimed nine-episode mystery from Queen's Gambit auteur Scott Frank enters a crowded field that includes Severance, The Pitt, The White Lotus, The Last of Us and Netflix's own The Diplomat. More from TVLine Ginny & Georgia's Biggest Season 3 Finale Mystery Has Already Been Solved: 'There Was a Debate,' EP Says Virgin River Star Shares Season 7 Update: When Are New Episodes Coming to Netflix? Adolescence Rises to No. 2 on Netflix's All-Time Top 10, Passing Stranger Things 4 - And There It Will Stay If all of this sounds vaguely familiar it's because just one year ago Netflix similarly sent Emmy handicappers heads' spinning with the late-April release of Baby Reindeer. Richard Gadd's searing, semi-autobiographical dramedy — which appeared on the kudos scene a scant one month before the close of eligibility — went on to essentially sweep Limited Series categories at last September's Emmys. It remains to be seen if a similar fate awaits Dept. Q, which earlier this week hit No. 2 on Netflix's consumer-facing Top 10 chart and boasts an impressive 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes (its critical score stands at a strong 84%). Dept. Q, based on the book series by Danish writer Jussi Adler-Olsen, centers on a cranky Edinburgh detective (played by Good Wife alum Goode) who sets out solve a cold case involving a missing prosecutor (played by Queen's Gambit alum Chloe Pirrie). In addition to possibly playing spoiler in the Outstanding Drama Series contest, Dept. Q is poised to be a contender in the acting races as well. A Netflix rep confirms to TVLine that Goode and Pirrie will be competing in the Lead Actor in a Drama Series and Lead Actress in a Drama Series categories, respectively. The show's supporting cast — which includes Boardwalk Empire vet Kelly Macdonald and Game of Thrones' Kate Dickie — is equally as formidable. Have you binged ?

Carrie & Aidan Are Facing This Classic Long-Distance Struggle in 'And Just Like That' Season 3
Warning: This article contains spoilers for And Just Like That… season 3, episode 1. Fans of Sex and the City and And Just Like That… have seen Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Aidan (John Corbett) go through a lot over the years, and the third season of AJLT will be no different. More from SheKnows Carrie & Aidan's Full Relationship Timeline From Sex and The City to And Just Like That At the end of season 2, the on-and-off couple agreed on an unconventional deal. Despite Carrie buying a beautiful Gramercy Park apartment for them to move in together, Aidan decided to stay in Virginia because his 14-year-old son Wyatt was having a hard time at school. As he delivered the news, he asked Carrie to wait five years. By then, Wyatt will be off to college, and he'll finally be able to leave his life behind and move to the Big Apple to be with her. Carrie was surprised, but she didn't exactly say no. 'No matter what happens… this was not a mistake,' Carrie said the next day as they said goodbye, per TVLine. So, as the third season of the show came around this week on May 29, fans might've been asking themselves what's really going on between them. Are they breaking up? Are they going long-distance? If episode one is any indication, Carrie and Aidan aren't breaking things off entirely. While they were keeping it cool by only sending postcards to one another at first, Aidan then called Carrie in the middle of the night. 'I miss you so much,' he says when she picks up. Then, when she called him out for breaking his own rules by calling, Aidan, who's in his truck in the middle of a field, says, 'All of that went out the window after this third beer.' Quickly, their convo goes from pleasantries to full-on phone sex. 'You know how much I love you, Carrie,' he says, while asking her to touch herself. Then, right when they were both getting into it, Aidan buzzes the horn of his truck. 'I scared myself, I hit the horn with my knee,' he says. 'I might've s– my pants a little.' After that, while Aidan gets right back into it, Carrie's understandably turned off. 'C'mon, we can get back there,' he said. 'Can we?' Carrie asks back, laughing. As she struggles to get back in the mood, she exchanges eye contact with her adorable new cat, Shoe. The mood is decidedly gone for her, but Aidan keeps going and finishes. Carrie, for her part, fakes it. Later in the episode, Carrie summarizes the experience to best friends Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon). 'He said he missed me and we had phone sex,' she says. 'More specifically, he had phone sex, I stopped midway. The kitty was watching, her little eyes were so curious. So when he went there, I faked it.' While both Charlotte and Miranda agreed that faking it was no big deal, after all a study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior in 2010 stated that up to 80% of women have admitted to faking it with a sexual partner, per NBC News, Carrie couldn't get past it. So, she comes clean to Aidan in the last scene of the episode. 'I have a confession, I wasn't totally there with you the other night and I said I was,' she tells Aidan in a call at the end of the episode. She then tries to start up phone sex once again, this time asking him to touch himself. 'Uh, Carrie, I can't do this right now,' Aidan then replies. 'I'm in bed with Wyatt, he's asleep, he had a bad night.' Embarrassed and speechless, Carrie apologizes and almost immediately turns off the call. We'll add here that this isn't just the show and its creator, Michael Patrick King, not knowing how to portray phone sex. After all, longtime viewers of SATC might remember Miranda's phone sex adventures back in season 3, episode 10. Things got steamy over the phone, and we all wondered if we were doing it wrong all along. But, this time around, the show wanted to see a couple struggle through it. And while And Just Like That… has gotten hate over the years for being 'unrelatable,' this storyline between Carrie and Aidan is anything but. In a 2018 study from Elite Daily, 48.6% of respondents said that they never had phone sex over the phone. So, unsurprisingly, countless long-distance couples out there can relate to struggling to get the knack of it, at least in the beginning. When is the right time to get into the mood? What if the signal glitches? What if my pet is looking at me? These are all questions that LDR couples around the world may be asking themselves. And while some couples might eventually become pros, others, like Carrie and Aidan, might need a little of SheKnows 30 Photos of Marilyn Monroe's Too-Short Life, From 1947-1962 Every Time Heidi Klum's Gorgeous, Colorful Fashion Choices Stopped Us in Our Tracks Elizabeth Hurley & Billy Ray Cyrus, & More of the Best Red Carpet Debuts From Celebrity Couples Over the Years

'Predator: Killer of Killers' on Hulu brings back the thrill of the hunt — and it's the most fun I've had in ages
'Predator' has always had a special place in my movie-loving heart. There's just something truly great about the idea of the galaxy's ultimate hunter going against some of the strongest humans throughout time. So when I heard Hulu was releasing a new animated entry in the franchise called 'Predator: Killer of Killers' (directed by Dan Trachtenberg, no less), I was immediately all in. I'll admit, I had high hopes. 'Prey' was a phenomenal surprise that reminded everyone just how good a 'Predator' movie could be. And while 'Killer of Killers' doesn't quite knock it out of the top spot, it absolutely earns the silver medal. And yes, that includes placing it above the original. This thing rules. From the opening minutes, it delivers exactly what I want from a 'Predator' story: brutal combat, clever kills and characters who don't go down easy. What really surprised me, though, was just how fun it all is. For a franchise that often leans gritty, 'Killer of Killers' finds a sweet spot between savagery and style. If you're a longtime fan like me or just someone who loves a well-crafted action thrill ride, this latest installment is some of the most fun I've had with 'Predator,' and it's now streaming on Hulu. Here's why this one's worth the hunt. 'Predator: Killer of Killers' is a Hulu-exclusive animated anthology movie that features three standalone stories set in wildly different time periods, each centered around a deadly clash between a skilled human warrior and a relentless Predator. The first chapter takes place in Viking-era Scandinavia, where a hardened raider, accompanied by her young son, goes on a brutal quest for vengeance after her village is decimated. Her path leads her into the wilderness, where she encounters something far more dangerous than any clan rival. The second story unfolds in feudal Japan, where two estranged brothers — one a disciplined samurai, the other a stealthy ninja — are forced into a confrontation over the future of their clan. Their final showdown is interrupted by a new kind of enemy. The final tale jumps to the skies of World War II, where an Allied fighter pilot begins noticing strange disappearances during missions over Europe. A routine investigation turns into a desperate fight for survival when he realizes an invisible enemy is stalking him from above. 'Killer of Killers' stands out from the rest of the franchise in two big ways: It's beautifully animated, and it tells three separate stories that ultimately converge. Right from the start, it's clear this is a 'Predator' movie that dares to do something different, and it succeeds on every level. The stories told are impactful and actually quite clever, using personal conversations and animated facial expressions to make us care about the characters. Not to mention the voice acting, which makes every scene feel that much heavier. Out of all three stories, the feudal Japan segment absolutely stole the show for me. It's the quietest of the trio (almost entirely free of dialogue), but that silence speaks volumes. What unfolds is a visually stunning, tension-soaked battle between a disciplined samurai and his estranged ninja brother. It's rare that a 'Predator' story feels this elegant. Like 'Prey,' which gave us a Predator perfectly matched to the time of the Comanche warriors, 'Killer of Killers' does something similar. Each Predator is tailored to its setting, both in design and behavior. The one in Viking-era Scandinavia is a hulking, primal force. The Japan segment gives us a fast, silent hunter who moves like a ghost. And in the World War II chapter, the Predator is almost machine-like as it flies a spacecraft. It shows that the creators put real care into adapting the Predator design and behavior to fit the culture and era. The animation style in 'Predator: Killer of Killers' really caught my eye, and it makes sense considering it took inspiration from 'Arcane' and 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.' It's a bold choice that gives the movie its own unique vibe while still staying true to the gritty, savage spirit of the iconic franchise. Honestly, it's one of the reasons I had such a great time watching it. Most of all, 'Killer of Killers' knows exactly how to be a standout 'Predator' movie. There's plenty of carnage and brutal deaths, including a Predator that wears multiple spines as a cape (yes, really). So, if you're a fan of the franchise, be prepared for the gory action you expect. 'Killer of Killers' is a really fun ride, and I'm glad to see the franchise keeping up its good streak after 'Prey.' Here's hoping 'Predator: Badlands,' coming later this year, can keep the momentum going. If you're even remotely a fan of the 'Predator' franchise or just love stylish action with serious bite, 'Killer of Killers' is absolutely worth your time. It's bold, beautifully animated, and packed with moments that'll leave your jaw on the floor. Each segment brings something new to the table, and together they create one of the most memorable entries in the franchise. So do yourself a favor: Fire up Hulu, hit play and enjoy one of the coolest surprises of the year so far. For even more streaming recommendations, see what else is new on Hulu in June 2025. Stream "Predator: Killer of Killers" on Hulu now.
