Ghosts Explores Isaac's Longstanding Grudge Against Alexander Hamilton

The latest episode reveals the petty origins of Isaac's centuries-old feud with the Founding Father, tied to a stolen shirt ruffle and a historic mishap.

• Isaac's grudge against Alexander Hamilton dates back to 1776 when Hamilton allegedly stole Isaac's reserved shirt ruffle before a significant dinner party.
• The theft led to a series of events where Isaac accidentally set the first draft of the Declaration of Independence on fire, getting himself ejected from the signing process.
• The episode humorously portrays Isaac's pettiness as the root of the feud, which has been hinted at throughout the show's four seasons.
• Actor Brandon Scott Jones notes that Isaac's narration may be unreliable, suggesting he could have embellished parts of the story to preserve his dignity.
• The episode includes playful nods to the Hamilton musical and highlights Isaac's partial contribution to the Declaration with the phrase 'the pursuit of happiness.'
