GHOSTS returns with another heartfelt and hilarious chapter as GhostsSeason 5 Episode 5, “T-Daddy,” airs Thursday, Nov. 13 (8:30–9:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streams the next day on Paramount+. This week’s episode explores family tensions, workplace challenges, and the ongoing chaos that comes with running a restaurant and cohabiting with a mansion full of eccentric spirits.
In “T-Daddy,” Trevor finds himself struggling with the growing emotional divide between him and his daughter. A former finance bro with more swagger than sensitivity, Trevor pushes her toward a career in finance—mirroring his own past—despite her passion for poetry. His misguided attempt to guide her choices puts their relationship under strain, and the ghosts at Woodstone Mansion aren’t shy about weighing in. Trevor must confront his own insecurities and learn what it really means to support someone he loves.
Meanwhile, Jay faces his own crisis at the restaurant. As labor unrest begins to simmer, he must navigate the challenges of keeping his team motivated, satisfied, and committed—all while balancing the expectations of the living and the curiosity of the dead. The ghosts, of course, watch with fascination and offer their usual blend of unhelpful advice and unexpected insight.
Written by Rupinder Gill and directed by Heather Jack, the episode delivers a mix of character-driven humor and emotional storytelling that fans have come to adore. Ghosts continues to shine due to its unique ability to blend supernatural comedy with grounded relationships and personal growth.
