Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Is millionaire Quincy Endicott’s sprawling mansion haunted by a beautiful ghost, or is the tea baron going mad? Greg and Fred the Horse are on the case! Meanwhile, Wirt and Beatrice get trapped in an armoire while searching for loose change.
Our Take
A fun change of pace that leans into comedy more than creepiness, and it mostly works. The mansion mystery has some genuinely funny reveals, and Wirt and Beatrice stuck together produce the episode’s best moments. It’s lighter than the chapters around it, but the humor lands and the pacing never sags. Worth your twenty minutes.
