CBS's new vampire comedy Eternally Yours has been keeping Thursday nights lively while Ghosts takes its holiday break. The series, from Ghosts creators Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, follows a Seattle-based coven of vampires trying to pass as ordinary humans. But one member stands out: Phyllis (Rose Abdoo), a human who has no clue that her husband Jesse (Parker Young) is a vampire—or that their children are half-vampire. Whenever Phyllis gets too close to the truth, Jesse simply wipes her short-term memory. It's also his go-to move for dodging any kind of conflict.
That all changes in this week's episode, titled "Eternal Sunshine of Phyllis's Mind." In an exclusive clip obtained by ShowtimeSpot, Phyllis grows annoyed when Jesse ignores her chatter about her friends to check sports scores on his phone. As usual, he reaches for his memory-erasing ability—but then hesitates. Instead, he decides to actually engage in an argument with her. It's a hilariously awkward moment, as Jesse clearly has no idea how to fight fair, but he's weirdly excited to learn.
The official synopsis teases: "Jesse contemplates whether it's finally time to tell Phyllis his secret. Meanwhile, Max and Emma navigate their first big relationship hurdle." So while Jesse fumbles through his first real marital spat, the younger vampires are dealing with their own romantic growing pains.
For those who've been following Eternally Yours, this marks a major turning point. Jesse's memory-wiping has been a convenient crutch, but it's also kept Phyllis in the dark about her own life. Now that he's willing to have an honest fight, could a full confession be next? The episode promises to deliver both laughs and genuine character development.
Meanwhile, fans of the Ghosts universe have been clamoring for a crossover between the two shows. While nothing official has been announced, Port and Wiseman have expressed interest. Wiseman previously explained that if it happened, the vampires would likely visit Woodstone Manor, since ghosts can see vampires but vampires can't see ghosts. When asked which character they'd want to interact with, Allegra Edwards (who plays Liz on Eternally Yours and briefly appeared on Ghosts as Donna) said she'd love to sit down with Pete and freak him out because she looks so much like his ex-girlfriend.
For now, viewers can catch the new episode of Eternally Yours tomorrow on CBS. And Ghosts returns December 10 with a one-hour Christmas special inspired by Die Hard. Stay tuned to ShowtimeSpot for more exclusive clips and updates.
