A House Divided | |
| Ghost Wars / int_21889507 | comment |

Winston and Mort form an armed militia, Val and Marylin isolate themselves to care for a mutated Abigail, against Isabelle's wish, Daphne leads what's left of Lambda to conclude her experiment, while Roman, Billy and Dr. Baker try to find a way to end the ghosts. | |

I'm a Humanitarian | |
| Ghost Wars / int_22071825 | comment |
I'm a Humanitarian: Mort was under an illusion for the whole time Karla was pregnant, the food he was feeding her wasn't game, it was corpses. | |

Plot Armor | |
| Ghost Wars / int_2a44899 | comment |
Plot Armor: While the city's citizens start to diminish by the scores, most of the main characters remain OK through the show, even though they seem to be risking the most, while the town folk is generally killed by the ghost's most basic mind tricks. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Ghost Wars / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The city is fixed, the ghosts are gone and Val and Doug seem positive about their capacity to rebuild the town, but Maggie takes over Daphne's body and runs away accompanied by Roman and the stone that caused everything to begin with. Furthermore, Father Dan's ghost is still around, with implications he has become the Whistling Man ghost. | |

Advertised Extra | |
| Ghost Wars / int_4b0ef86e | comment |
Advertised Extra: Marilyn is marketed as a main character, and even appears in the promo. However, her wife Val has a much more constant focus and larger amount of screen time, let alone plot relevance. Marilyn herself only is relevant to the plot related to Abigail and Isabelle. | |

Sharing a Body: Downplayed with Abigail and Isabelle. After Abigail's body Came Back Wrong, Abigail and Isabelle's spirit inhabit the same body, with both of them being able to communicate with others, but Isabelle is in control most of the time. | |

Token Heroic Orc | |
| Ghost Wars / int_5ee0a2d8 | comment |
Token Heroic Orc: Maggie, Doug's dead daughter is a ghost, but she still tries to help Roman, believes he has a gift and uses her powers for good. Abigail is a ghost that is not interested in using her powers for evil, and in fact uses Isabelle's connect to the supernatural to try to warn her mothers against trusting the being in Abigail's body. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Death's Door needs someone to be actually dying to be opened. When they realize this, Billy promptly decides he ought be the one to go, since he is already Secretly Dying. Marilyn kills him with an injection, allowing his ghost to open the door. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Ghost Wars / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Burke, the director of the Lambda facility, is an arrogant, weaselly Smug Snake who is far more concerned with saving face than doing right by his employees. The ghosts eventually drown him in his own ocean-wave screensaver. | |

Master of Illusion: All ghosts are capable of creating hallucinations in people's minds, making them see things that aren't happening and even killing them, or forcing them to kill themselves. | |

| Ghost Wars / int_9b06e314 | comment |
Greater-Scope Villain: Daphne, the CEO of Lambda. She knew about what could happen if the experiment carried on, and forced it because she wanted to be able to manipulate paranormal forces in an attempt to avoid her own death, following her appearance, she becomes somewhat of a Token Evil Teammate as she believe that finishing the experiment will give everyone what they want. | |

A Day in the Limelight | |
| Ghost Wars / int_9c8701b5 | comment |
A Day in the Limelight: "The Curse of The Copperhead Rose" basically works as an origin story for Billy and how he stayed in the town. "The Ghost in the Machine" is basically what happened in the start of the plot focused on Landris and her team on Lambda. "The Exorcism of Marcus Moon" mostly deals with Father Dan as he wonders about performing an exorcism on the Creepy Child Marcus. "The Feast" tells Norm's story, and is almost exclusively shown from his perspective. | |

Came Back Wrong | |

Downplayed with Abigail and Isabelle. They might behave strangely and have a connection to ghosts, but they are well meaning. Played fully straight with Abigail once she Came Back Wrong. | |
