Spoiler Alert: Insights on Ghosts Season 4, Episode 6: “The Primary Source”
The excitement of Ghosts season 4 centers around the character of Isaac Higgintoot, portrayed by Brandon Scott Jones. The season kicks off with an intense situation as Patience (Mary Holland) takes Isaac captive, leading the other ghosts on a quest to recover their Revolutionary War counterpart. Following Patience’s eventual return of Isaac to the house—where she retreats into the ground—his adventures are far from over. Notably, Isaac struggles to navigate life after a tumultuous breakup with Nigel Chessum (John Hartman), a consequence of his dramatic exit at the altar during the previous season’s finale.
In this latest episode, titled “The Primary Source,”Isaac is portrayed as both vulnerable and evolving. Despite his earnest determination to improve, the episode reveals his ongoing challenges. A silver lining emerges, though, offering opportunities for self-discovery and personal growth for Isaac. Sam (Rose McIver) receives unfortunate news from the publishers regarding Isaac’s biography, intended to document his ghostly life.
Sam Faces Significant Hurdles in Publishing Isaac’s Biography
Isaac Experiences Existential Doubts in Season 4
As the narrative unfolds in episode 6, Sam and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) embark on a quest to locate Isaac’s diary at Fort Ticonderoga, believing they can uncover a primary source for the biography. Unfortunately, their search proves fruitless. When the publisher’s authenticator arrives at the Woodstone B&B, Sam mistakenly perceives him as one of the cholera ghosts because of his attire and audaciously claims she fabricates entries in Isaac’s diary, which disappointingly only covers his deep thoughts on sandwiches.
This misstep leaves Isaac disheartened, realizing his contributions during the Revolutionary War have been reduced to mere footnotes in history. As a result of this complication, Sam’s publisher opts to withdraw the book deal. Though Sasappis (Romàn Zaragoza) proposes a creative alternative—positioning the biography as historical fiction with a vampire twist—it diverges significantly from Isaac’s original intention of maintaining his historical legacy.
Isaac’s Insecurity About His Legacy Intensifies with Alexander Hamilton’s Arrival
The Arrival of Alexander Hamilton in Season 4
The challenges Sam and Isaac face in chronicling his story are set to escalate further with the highly-anticipated introduction of Alexander Hamilton, played by Nat Faxon. According to a recent report from TV Line, Hamilton’s character will deepen Isaac’s narrative journey. This development ties into Isaac’s profound anxieties regarding his historical significance, evolving as he learns about Hamilton’s formidable legacy through Sam.
Isaac’s insecurities are starkly highlighted when he requests Sam to pen the book, hoping to draft his competitive edge against a rival he has carried with him for years. The series promises a significant payoff for viewers, as Hamilton—whether manifesting as a ghost or through nostalgic flashbacks—compels Isaac to confront his historical failures and insecurities, exacerbated by the fact that Sam has been unable to secure his biography’s publication. This turmoil will leave Isaac grappling with the reality that he may never achieve recognition alongside Hamilton in the annals of history.
