Spirited

Henry Mallet is back! At the end of series 1, the ghost of Henry returned to The Elysian and to the woman he loves, Suzy Darling. But strange things happen when a ghost and a mortal fall in love, and this time Henry's not returned alone -- he's brought the party with him. An entire entourage of ghosts has come back with Henry and taken up residence in The Elysian.

At the end of episode 1, The King encouraged Henry to put things 'back the way they were before'. All his problems would be resolved by walking through a door in the Ballroom. Now Henry has returned and, to his dismay, things have gone too far back. Not only can Suzy not see or hear him, this is old-style Suzy - uptight, unhappy and socially awkward. Not the Suzy Darling he knows and loves! Worse, there are strangers living in the Penthouse ... Adam and Juan are wary of the scary dentist from downstairs, and all of the ghosts, including Henry's 'boy band' of mates have disappeared. Even Rocco is still alive...

Suzy and Henry are back from their parallel universe adventures and relative normality reigns at The Elysian, until a new ghost catches Henry's eye. Antonia. She's young and she's fun. She and Henry have a lot in common, and not just because they're ghosts... Suzy is feeling at a bit of a loss. Not only is Henry hanging out with his new mate Antonia, her kids are keeping their distance too. Elvis is living with his father, who is on a rampage, determined to make a man out of his bookish, sensitive son. And Verity has clammed up. She won't speak to her mother and she won't say why. But she does have a very interesting new friend ...

Jonquil decides to hypnotise Verity in order to get rid of her imaginary friend, Barney. But as per usual when Jonquil's in charge, things go ever so slightly awry. Instead of eradicating Barney, Jonquil hypnotises the whole family and transports Suzy, in a hypnotic state, to see her long lost mother. Suzy's realises that Helen's not dead, she's alive and well and dealing Blackjack in a casino.

Joan Dart is concerned, ghosts are going missing. But that's minor compared to the drama taking place in Suzy's penthouse: Helen, the mother Suzy thought was dead, the mother Jonquil pined for for more than 24 years... has finally returned. And to Jonquil's distress and implacable envy, is staying upstairs with Suzy.

Suzy's neighbour Rita has a new friend. A sweet young woman who sells make up door to door. Jennifer can transform people from plain to beautiful with one sweep of her blusher brush. But Jennifer has other skills. She can also transform spirits - from trapped and tortured to emancipated and free. And there's something about The Elysian that's making her just quiver all over....

Henry is intrigued to learn of Helen's relationship with her ghost lover. It is scarily similar to his own relationship with Suzy. He plies Suzy with questions: did a taxi ever come for Robbie? Has Robbie seen any other ghosts? Why can't Helen see him any more? Could this be what the future has in store for them?

Zac is delirious with joy. All his dreams have come true because Henry Mallet -- the real, living, breathing, 60 year old Henry Mallet -- just knocked on his door. He's not dead! He's been living incognito in Geneva for the last thirty years, eating cheese and breeding schnauzers. Zac may be in seventh heaven, but Suzy is seriously confused. And a little worried -- is this the real Henry Mallet, or a fraud? And if this old man is the real Henry Mallet, then who or what is her Henry?

Everyone's excited about the biopic of Henry's life being filmed at the Elysian - everyone, that is, except Henry. He's not interested in who or what he was. He's interested in who he is now. And in Suzy, who gets dragged into the madness as an extra. But as per usual when Henry's around, she winds up distracted and the director winds up very, very wet - and very unimpressed.

The Elysian is swarming with men in hard hats. They've come to investigate the large crack that appeared in the building when Jonquil held her 'healing ceremony'. Suzy reassures Henry. This is not a supernatural problem. This is a real world problem, and real men are going to fix it. Jonquil meanwhile, has woken up in the gutter after another all night bender. Zac is alarmed about her new penchant for self-destructive behaviour. Why is his girlfriend suddenly acting so ... lasciviously?
