Summary
- Pete from
Ghosts
is making a return in the season 3 finale following the reveal of his new power to travel beyond the mansion. - Actor Richie Moriarty hints at exciting possibilities for Pete’s character and limitations on his power.
- The
Ghosts
season 3 finale will air on May 2 and is guaranteed to end in a cliffhanger.
Popular Ghosts character Pete will return in the season 3 finale, according to the actor who plays him. The hit CBS sitcom Ghosts is an adaptation of the British series of the same name, and focuses on a pair of married New Yorkers who move into a beautiful country mansion, unaware it is haunted by a selection of benevolent ghosts. Pete, a ghost and former travel agent, has been on the show since season 1, and Ghosts season 3, episode 9 revealed that his power is that he is able to leave the mansion and travel anywhere.
Actor Richie Moriarty, who plays Pete, discussed his character’s new power in an interview with TVLine, and spoke about what this reveal could mean for the season finale. Episode 9 ended with Pete traveling to visit his family, but Moriarty acknowledged he’ll be back for the last episode. Read the actor’s comments on the topic below:
I will say that he does make it back to Woodstone by the finale. The nice thing that the Joes [showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman] have done with this power is that it opens up a huge world of possibilities for him and where he’s able to go, but they find a really smart way to place a limitation on the power so that it can’t be used constantly. I guess I shouldn’t say too much more than that, but they do a really good job of sort of putting reins on this power.

How Will Pete’s Power Impact The Ghosts Season 3 Finale?
Pete’s New Power Changes Ghosts’ Rules
Pete’s ability to now leave the Woodstone mansion provides a lot of exciting possibilities for storylines, and gives him a deeper link to Sam and Jay, as he can help or assist the characters in their day-to-day lives. However, as Moriarty has alluded to, it seems likely that the writers are going to be clever about placing limitations on what Pete is able to do as a character, and this is something that could become more apparent in Ghosts season 4.
Having a ghost with powers too strong would serve as a deus ex machina, and provide easy outs for plot contrivances, so this is likely to be something Ghosts showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman will be keen to avoid. However, the power will also be a great chance to explore the character of Pete in greater detail, with last week’s episode ending with the ghost boarding a plane to St. Lucia to visit his daughter and grandson. Getting to venture out into the world can help Pete grow and experience new things.
Ghosts is a show that likes to keep its audience guessing, and Pete’s power certainly came as a surprise, since the series has long established that ghosts have to remain where they died. This twist opens up the world a bit more, and just in time for the season 3 finale, which is confirmed to end with a cliffhanger. It could be that Pete’s power will tie into the season-ending twist somehow, picking up on this new story thread. Regardless, Pete will return for the end of Ghosts season 3 and be present to celebrate Isaac’s wedding.
The
Ghosts
season 3 finale airs at 8:30 PM ET on CBS on May 2.
