The show Ghosts follows the newly-ghostly Alison and her husband Mike as they try to restore an old mansion they inherited. In season 1 episode 2, titled "Hello!", the couple faces a new challenge from an unexpected ghostly guest.
The episode begins with Alison and Mike trying to navigate their new afterlife as ghosts. Alison is still trying to come to terms with her death and Mike is trying to keep their relationship strong despite the fact that he can't see or touch Alison. The two of them are determined to make the most of their paranormal situation and decide to start renovating the home they inherited.
As they work on the house, they realize that they aren't alone. A new ghostly figure makes an appearance and introduces himself as Julian. Julian is a charming and confident ghost from the 1920s who immediately takes a liking to Alison. He flirts shamelessly with her but Alison is hesitant to be distracted from her goal of fixing up the house and trying to figure out how to move on to another plane of existence.
Meanwhile, Mike begins to notice that something is wrong with the wiring in the house. He suspects that Julian is messing with it but Alison doesn't believe that any of the ghosts could be causing harm. However, their discussion is interrupted by a loud noise and they realize that something has gone terribly wrong with the electrical system. The power goes out, leaving Alison and Mike scrambling to figure out how to fix the problem.
As they work to restore the power, they discover more about Julian's past. They learn that he was a con artist who made his living by scamming wealthy women out of their money. Julian's ghostly presence has remained in the mansion for decades, and he has grown bored with the solitude. When he meets Alison and Mike, he sees the potential for new companionship and begins to manipulate the wiring in the house in order to get their attention.
As Mike and Alison investigate the cause of the power outage, they come across an old diary that reveals Julian's true intentions. They learn that Julian had been attempting to woo a woman named Alice who used to live in the mansion, but when she discovered his true motives, she turned him away. Julian was so desperate for companionship that he decided to trap Alice in the house by disabling the electrical system.
Alison and Mike are able to restore the power and confront Julian. In a tense moment, they manage to convince him to leave the house and move on to the next plane of existence. Even though he tried to hurt them, Julian admits that he had grown attached to them and will miss their company.
In the aftermath of Julian's departure, Mike and Alison are left to contemplate the nature of their afterlife. They are still struggling to understand the rules of their new world, but they are learning that their experiences are shaping their perspectives. Alison begins to realize that there may be more to the ghostly world than just fixing up the house, and Mike continues to try to protect her from any harm that may come their way.
Overall, "Hello!" is a gripping episode that continues to explore the mysteries of the afterlife. With the introduction of Julian, viewers are given a glimpse into the complex and sometimes manipulative nature of the ghosts that surround our protagonists. The episode's themes of companionship, hurt, and healing serve to deepen the show's universe and leave viewers eagerly anticipating the next episode.
