Alberta finds Pete chilling while listening to jazz, and they bond over how there are “no rules” in the controlled chaos of the music.Alberta and Pete share a charged moment, but when Alberta leans in for a kiss, Pete instinctually puts his palm up on her face, stopping her. Alberta leaves in a huff. Pete immediately confides in Thor that he’s had a crush on Alberta for decades, but he’s exclusive with his St. Lucia girlfriend, Donna. Given what Carol did to Pete, he would never cheat.
Why Pete & Alberta’s Revived Romance in Ghosts Won’t Last
Alberta’s Change Of Heart Is Too Quick To Be Genuine
Ghostsseason 4, episode 20 leaves things quite unresolved for both Pete and Alberta. I’m worried Pete is going to break up with Donna for the chance to be with Alberta. But because Alberta’s change of heart is so abrupt, it doesn’t seem genuine. While I’m relieved Pete, even stoned, doesn’t cheat on Donna (that would be wildly out of character),I don’t want him to break up with her over one fleeting moment with Alberta.
Between the jazz, drugs, and the image of Pete that Alberta wants to see, I’m not sure if they will be able to replicate the same chemistry later.
Between the jazz, drugs, and the image of Pete that Alberta wants to see, I’m not sure if they will be able to replicate the same chemistry later. Donna seems to genuinely like Pete for who he is and not who she wants him to be. While Donna can’t leave St. Lucia, Pete can roam with some parameters newly updated inGhostsseason 4, episode 17. Alberta wants a bad boy, but Pete is the embodiment of a Boy Scout.
