While the ghosts unpack emotional baggage upstairs, Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) tries to join a local artisanal baking group. The parallel is unsubtle but effective: the bakers have secret starter recipes, exclusionary language (“you’re not fed yet”), and a passive-aggressive Slack channel. Jay’s frustration—“This is just the Woodstone Men’s Guild but with better gluten!”—bridges the two plots. By the episode’s end, he abandons the bakers to share a beer with a similarly rejected plumber, forming his own two-man guild based on actual companionship.
