This week’s episode of CBS’s Ghosts , titled "The Tree," tackles a surprisingly high-stakes (for a comedy) piece of real estate: the massive, ancient oak tree in the backyard of Woodstone Mansion.

His panic is palpable. He summons a literal lightning storm (which is a fantastic visual effects flex for a sitcom) to scare off the lumberjacks.

Hetty, in a hilariously on-brand moment, initially sides with Sam and Jay because "a tree doesn't pay taxes," but eventually softens when she realizes Thor is having an existential crisis.
