Isaac\u2019s carpetbagging strategy<\/a> in the basement is going. Isaac is miserable by the odd mannerisms and dull conversations held in the basement. While the process of trying to gain the trust of the boiler-obsessed ghosts is grueling, it is important to Isaac that he finally holds an elected office. Even one as meaningless as \u201cghost representative\u201d aka \u201cperson who asks Sam for something.\u201d<\/p>\nNot long after, Bela announces that the engagement is off. The engagement that never actually happened. Eric cancelled his trip because of work and explained he needed Bela\u2019s ring size for his and hers bowling balls. Bela was \u201cSassapis-ed.\u201d A term she used unknowingly in front of Sass to say she was experiencing romantic disappointment. After Bela sulks out of the room, Sam explains to everyone she is orchestrating a true surprise proposal with Eric. She has Eric call and pretend to cancel to give Bela the surprise proposal of her dreams.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, Sass wasn\u2019t present for the latter half of the conversation, prompting him to go into Bela\u2019s dream to console her. They bond over shared disappointments in their partners. This culminates in them hooking up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The morning after, Sass goes to Sam to explain what happened. He then learns about the real proposal and panics that he\u2019s now a homewrecker. There\u2019s a brief discussion about the moral ambiguity that technically, all this happened in a dream. None of the actions were real, at least on Bela\u2019s end.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the illicit actions of Bela and Sass, Isaac is caught in his own bed of lies. More accurately, he was caught lying on the couch. In an attempt to find some comfort, Isaac snuck out of the basement during the night and slept on the couch. But he was discovered by Nancy who deemed him as not a real basement ghost.<\/p>\n
The basement ghosts confront Isaac with their decision regarding his eligibility as their representative in the coming election. They say that he can prove himself by participating in the basement fight club. Pete, who was acting as moral support for Isaac, reveals he is an avid fan of the fight club. Thus, Isaac is compelled to become a fighter.<\/p>\n
Out at the restaurant, Bela is working when Sam, Jay, and the ghosts arrive. Sam and Jay let her know they are aware of the affair and there is no reason to feel guilty since it wasn\u2019t technically real. However, Bela doesn\u2019t feel remorse because of how hurt she was at Eric getting her hopes up. This revelation causes Sam to come clean about the proposal plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bela is disgusted with herself for cheating on Eric. Especially since Sassapis was her \u201cbackup ghost.\u201d Sam and Jay urge her not to say anything to Eric because it would just hurt him. At this, Eric bursts out of the dishwasher box having heard the entire story. The hurt of this is compounded by the fact that in order to hide in the box, Eric installed and programmed the new dishwasher. He\u2019s a really good guy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Understandably Eric is upset and needs space.<\/p>\n
At fight club, Isaac is set against a large brute. Pete acts as a coach and encourages Isaac to get out there and fight. Unfortunately, this results in an instant knockout with Isaac coming out the loser. Isaac\u2019s defeat, however, was his path to triumph. He gained the respect of the basement ghosts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That night, Sass invades a rather dull Bob Ross-style dream to beg forgiveness. Eric reveals he doesn\u2019t love the idea that Bela is so hung up on ghosts. But Sass points out that Eric is in the unique position of being alive and having the opportunity to seize what he wants. Sass can\u2019t go after Joan but Eric can go after Bela. This forges understanding and forgiveness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Siblings Jay and Bela have a heart-to-heart at the restaurant about Bela\u2019s relationship. She is afraid of starting over and having to restructure her plans. Jay didn\u2019t notice Bela mention anything about loving Eric or her desire for their shared future. From this, it\u2019s understood Bela doesn\u2019t love Eric. She\u2019s settling because she\u2019s scared of being alone or being behind in life. Bela needs to end things.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ending things happens sooner than expected. Eric, trying another romantic gesture, was hiding again. He heard the whole conversation. This poor guy can\u2019t catch a break. Even worse, he flew his parents out for the proposal. They were also hiding and heard the conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Given Sam\u2019s efforts to produce a meaningful engagement story for Bela, Jay realizes he should redo his proposal to Sam. The couple had a lackluster engagement story so Jay recreated the vacation to the Bahamas and showed Sam the beautiful yet comedic engagement he had planned for her. The touching display makes Sam thankful to be able to spend her life with Jay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
