Ep 12. Ghosts

My Family season 3 episode 12, titled Ghosts, follows the chaotic Harper family as they come across supernatural phenomena on an otherwise mundane day. The episode is full of witty one-liners and gags that will keep the audience hooked from start to finish.

At the beginning of the episode, Ben Harper (played by Robert Lindsay), the head of the family, discovers a hidden room in their house, which was previously boarded up. The discovery leads to the family looking for an explanation for the room's existence, with each member of the household offering up their peculiar theories.

However, things take a turn for the spooky when the family members start experiencing supernatural occurrences that all leads to the conclusion that their house may be haunted. The family is spooked, and they all begin seeing apparitions around the house. Ben tries to debunk the ghost rumors, insisting that there is always a logical explanation for such matters.

In the wake of all the strange occurrences, Ben convinces the family to hold a séance with the hope of contacting the spirits that are haunting the house. However, what begins as an experiment to make contact with the supernatural quickly spirals out of control, with the family members getting more than they bargained for.

The suspense in Ghosts comes from the family's struggle to maintain their composure in the face of the increasingly eerie events taking place in the house. While some of the spooks are played for laughs, others are genuinely chilling, leaving viewers guessing until the very end.

What makes this episode of My Family so compelling is that each character goes on their arc, showcasing how their personalities influence how they deal with the supernatural. Ben, for example, is initially dismissive of the supernatural but becomes more receptive to the idea as the episode progresses. Meanwhile, his wife, Susan (played by Zoe Wanamaker), who initially laughs off the idea of a haunted house, becomes increasingly unnerved by the events in their home.

As the characters continue to unravel the mystery of the hidden room and the supernatural forces in their house, the comedy also continues to ramp up. There are plenty of jokes that will make the audience laugh out loud, particularly from the youngest members of the family, Nick and Michael, who adorably add to the humor throughout the episode.
