Even if the plot doesn’t hurt Pete and Donna’s relationship, it could still reignite the flame between Nigel and Isaac. Isaac decided to leave Nigel thanks to Pete’s apparent happiness, so it is important to ask whether he really did not love Nigel or if he was just envious of an exciting kind of connection that Pete had. Since Patience’s Ghosts season 4 story is seemingly over already, it is likely that the show will have more screen time to facilitate a comeback for this romance. As a result, Nigel and Isaac may undo their breakup and reunite in Ghosts season 4.
