Tedd appears to see someone he does not want to see. Bishop? A step sister?

My money is on Ashley with Liz.  Grace seems to be steering Sarah away from the main floor.  Bishop, as a married woman, isn't invited to the ball.

And, given the current context, Cindertedd might get the idea that Liz wants to be male.

Flip Kicks are not the way to exorcize ghosts. 

They are effective against zombies, IF you can convince the shamblers to show off their Bruce Lee moves.

So what is the best way to exercise ghosts?

Burning sage, then lining the walls with sacred salt.  That's the Neo-pagan way.  The traditional Christian way involves a priest with a holy water sprinkler and a thurifer with a censer filled with blessed  incense. Not  sure about other options.  Burning stuff seems to be a major part of the ritual regardless.

I said, and meant, “exercise”, not “exorcise”. Ghost athletics.

Wight lifting.

So don't name your kid 'Sage'.   [ . . . or "Behave, or I'll name you 'Sage' . . . ]

The thurifer is only a thurifer if the censer is a thurible (I assume; I'm no expert, but the words suggest this, and looking up 'thurifer' linked 'thurible', not 'censer'). The distinction appears to be 'suspended by chains' (although oddly, the first pictured example shows one with a single, awkward looking chain suspension mechanism) and context, 'used in some churches' rites'. I've seen one in use once; visited a Christmas eve service at a big name Catholic Cathedral in NYC with some friends ages ago; it was kind of freaky, because it was something I was not familiar with, but <shrug> whatever. Smelled nice.

That seems more due to human affinity for playing with fire than spooky beings actually being repelled by it.

The Wight Stuff. 

Since we are invoking the space age, bring your thurible and do a censer probe.
