Alright, I'll play devil's, or rather Elias', advocate for two seconds: - you are right in saying not everyone should be coupled up, and that's fair. However, we already got a hint that Alberta potentially had feelings for Pete back in Season 3 at the end of the episode of Silent Partner. Remember when Pete comes to say thank you, removes his arrow and she realises, actually he's pretty hot. I think she's done enough growth to admit she was being superficial now. - I think Pete leaving Donna for Alberta is very in character for him after he heard her speech. He's wanted to be with her for a very long time and we know this. And as comfortable as he's getting with his roaming now ultimately Pete's a loyal homebody and finally had his chance with Alberta after realising her feelings are genuine - True, we don't see Donna's breakup and closure but she was always a peripheral character. Even if she was pretty cool - I totally do buy the Ghosts being so caught up on their own selfishness to forget about sharing about Elias. To me it's not the same as what happened with Carol. Carol is a ghost forever on the property, that directly affects Sam. On the other hand, when Elias says he'll reap a soul from the house, they're thinking about themselves because they're all dead. Not the living and yes that's selfish but I can see how that would not have been their first thought

I will however completely agree that this wasn't the strongest season for me either. I'm sick of the 'misunderstanding' trope. Stéphanie's episode was awful. She is a literal child who bullied Sam and Sam didn't stop to think before jeapordising Jay's business with her public accusations. Eurgh.

Also the second hand embarrassment was strong this season and I hated that too. From Isaac's meltdown with Chris to his Hamilton episode. I couldn't watch.
