Last season ended with another surprising cliffhanger involving Jay, who has accidentally sold his soul to the devil after Hetty’s evil husband pretended to be his publicist. His life is now at risk, as Elias will not stop until he claims Jay’s soul. Speaking with Collider, Ambudkar opened up about his character’s Season 5 storyline, revealing that Sam and their ghost friends will now be very protective of Jay. “I think that that will lead into, if there’s an avenue, into this whole idea of why he signed with a publicist, why he’s trying to get the restaurant going, why he inadvertently sold his soul to the devil. You know what I mean? He’s got a lot of stuff to get through in the next two seasons,” he said.
Ambudkar continued, “I don’t know if our boy Jay is gonna stay alive. We’ll have to see. I mean, Elias is coming for him. Sam now has a chance to protect Jay. So do the ghosts. He’s gone from somebody who joins the madcap scheme or gets caught up in other people’s craziness. He’s the one, now, who’s made the huge mistake with literal life and death consequences. So the whole house has to protect him.”
