Patience the Puritan in Ghosts Season 4 Story Explained

The history of Patience begins in the 1600s

Like most of the ghosts in the series, Mary Holland’s Patience has been around for a long, long time. However, she did not play a major role in the story of the hit sitcom until she kidnapped Isaac. After Isaac dramatically called off his marriage to Nigel, he was kidnapped when Patience dragged him through a wall in the basement. Prior to this, Patience was briefly mentioned in season 3, where Bloom and Isaac explained that she was a Puritan who was left behind in the dirt when Thor, Sass, and Isaac escaped to the main house. Isaac revealed that his sneeze had left him impatient.

This was not the first time that patience had been lost. “Patience” began with a flashback to 1692, as Patience was called before the head of her Puritan colony. She was informed, in no uncertain terms, that she was too humorless and pious even for the harshly punitive Puritans, and she was banished for it. It makes sense that Ghosts Season 4’s scary new character is angry with Isaac since she has a long history of abandonment. Isaac soon calmed her down by claiming that he, Thor, and Sass all missed her, but the grief didn’t last long.

Ghosts Season 4 established Isaac’s redemption arc when Sass convinced him that he owed it to Patience to help her escape the dirt, having previously left her there for decades (albeit accidentally).
