It’s my favorite S1 episode, and I have literally seen it hundreds of times, yet I always wonder: why do Ted and Beard not put anything in the Curse Fire? They are as much a part of the team as Rebecca and Higgins, so why are they not included/required? (I would love to see which of his axes Beard would bring lol) Is it because they are American? That is the only reason I can come up with, but it doesn’t really make sense.

I cannot imagine missing the explanation, nor can I understand how or why the script wouldn’t include them in the ritual.

Thoughts? 🤔 The answer? 😁

    The fact is, Ted inspired the ghosts to believe in themselves, which gave them the strength they needed to truly move on. After 106 years, it wasn’t the show-and-tell sacrifice bullshit that exorcised the ghosts (they were too many to fight off anyways) it was the vote of confidence from the team that Ted initiated that helped them to enter the hereafter
