Something Thomas is hoping for. Alison being alive is an obstacle but if she committed suicide, they could be together. Alison is not impressed. In "Redding Weddy," after surreptitiously reading a few passages from Lady Chatterley's Lover, she spends most of the episode aroused by Mike doing the most mundane of chores and is ready to confess to Alison her affection... until she witnesses him gobbling nachos. Initially believing the ghosts to be an after-effect of her accident, Alison eventually accepts the truth and confronts them. Because the Coopers cannot leave for financial reasons and the ghosts are bound to the mansion's land until they can ascend into the afterlife, both sides eventually agree that they have to coexist as best they can. Meanwhile, the house requires a lot of work, and Alison and Mike devise several schemes to assist their perilous finances.

Mike tries to convince Alison that her seeing and hearing the ghosts are after-effects of her coma. The ghosts embark on a war of attrition to try to force the couple out. With the ghosts becoming more intense, Alison visits a doctor who proves that she really can both see and hear them, being a ghost himself. Convinced they should sell the house, Mike finds out he cannot get out of the loan they took out to renovate the house without losing all of their savings. Alison attempts to reason with the ghosts, and they tell her that they want her and Mike to move out, but she refuses and tells them that she will do something for each one so that they can all co-exist peacefully.

A booking mixup for a birthday party at Button House leaves Alison and Mike realising that they are not catering for two 86-year-olds, but 8- and 6-year-olds instead, and Mike is forced to organise the emergency change of plans. However, Alison has a lot more on her mind: when Mary suddenly and unexpectedly ascends into the afterlife, she and the ghosts have to find ways to deal with their grief.
