First and foremost, is nobody questioning the cage that was on the stage when Home was a kid? Because that is a cage, right? Right?
Theory #1 - Grandpa is the last ghost
Home inherited twelve properties, and we have twelve episodes, so we get a property an episode. His grandfather wanted a traditional 100-day grieving period before his ashes would be scattered at the little house, so the Scooby Doo Gang has 100 days to wrap this up since I think the grandpa will be the last ghost.
Theory # 2 - Home and Kan are related
I can't win prizes if I don't play games, and I think these two are related because 1) it would be funny that Home was trying to hit on Kan to begin with but also because 2) the grandpa's first wife had a three-year old daughter when he married her, then when his first wife passed away, he remarried and had two kids, one who is Home's parent, and the other is Home's uncle. There are a lot of gaps here because where is Home's other parent?
Plus the colors are coloring, especially for Kan, who is neutral color-coded up until now.
I've stated it every week, but Kan is not who she appears to be, because, Thai folks, correct me if I'm wrong, but all the names tie into the person. Home needs to find a home. Peach (food) needs to start cooking again. Ride needed to finish his last ride. Rak (beautiful) wanted to feel beautiful again. Pangpang (amazing) needs to be awesome. Even Best, if going off Pangpang's comments, needs to be the best. Which is why I don't think Kan is who she is because what does her name gotta do with anything? She is after something, and is it finding her parents? Her sibling? WHAT?!
She is always off doing something else when the ghost starts ghosting, so she has other plans, and I want to know what they are!
Theory #3 - Kan's ghost is from her childhood
Everyone has a ghost. Home's is his grandpa and Peach's is whoever is in this picture with him and Best.
And Kan is being haunted by . . . a parent? A sibling? Someone from her childhood? Which is why she doesn't believe in ghosts because if they existed, she thinks her ghost would have already visited her, but they didn't. Not yet at least.
We know Kan has a sweet tooth because she eats sugar at the table during dinner and pours more into her meal.
She sits in the car with her sucker in episode three.
In episode two, she couldn't decide which sucker to get in the store.
And in the trailer, a ghost seems to be handing her a sucker, but she seems younger here. If Kan had seen a ghost when she was younger, she wouldn't be skeptical now, so this is Kan seeing her ghost and reliving her childhood.
Which would make my Kan and Home are related theory better if Kan believed her parent went missing due to Home's family which is why she is investigating them, but both of them actually lost a parent in childhood because they had the same parent!
Girl also knows how to lay a wig, so I think she had to work from an early age since she didn't have a parent.
Don't ask too many questions or the theory falls apart. Just go with it!
Theory #4 - This is a BL without being a BL for a reason
Heteronormativity was the issue this week. The Scooby Doo Gang almost missed Thansai being the recipient of Ride's gift because she is trans, and they were overlooking that. And what Ride was gifting her was a home.
Then, Peach popped this banger out of his mouth without hesitation that even if Ride and Thansai weren't able to be together romantically, they were still each other's family.
And of course Pangpang gave us this golden nugget of saying Peach and Home were the mom and dad of the family.
But also, Rak had a husband that the gang didn't even consider, and when the husband shared his story, he said he had done what he could to help her move on, but their love wasn't the focus.
So what happens when red + blue combine?
They make purple.
I'm giving the show too much credit only three episodes in, but is the love less meaningful because it isn't explicitly stated? Is the relationship overlooked because it doesn't fit the standard of what we expect? The story doesn't need to state it's a BL for us to know they are in love, which is why the show isn't a BL.
This show is giving us VISUALS! Like Rak with the wig.
The uncle and the past that is haunting him.
And Ride's head cut off in the mirror, but also being told his face is too serious, so he finally smiles in the end when he delivers his gift.
Kan doesn't believe in ghosts because she hasn't seen one, but she is ignoring everything in front of her. We are being told every episode to believe what we see by the visuals.
We need to believe what is right in front of us and quit overlooking it simply because it doesn't fit the norm or isn't the sole focus.

Kan was the only one to have a double show up in her intro, which goes with my theory that she is not who she appears to be.
Also, she couldn't decide what sucker to pick at the store.
Interesting . . .
Although Kan has already picked up on Pang's phrases ("Did it alone, my bum"), she hasn't picked up on the ghost activity. She wasn't in Best's house the first episode, she left the warehouse to take a call before Rak showed up, when Home went back to give Rak expensive food, Kan was too busy examining the lockers to see anything else, she didn't see Pang being possessed because when she showed up with Rak's husband, Pang passed out, and when she made the wig for Rak, Rak didn't do anything, so she had to rely on Peach's word that the ghost was there.
While Kan grabbed a sucker in the store, Pang picked ham
And Peach picked bread, but this was BEFORE the manager told them what Rak's favorite food was, so he most likely made it up based on what they had already selected.
The picture we saw in the first episode of Best and Peach with the frowny face covering up whoever is standing between them,
It now has a smiley face in the middle, and it's bleeding in the intro.
In the intro, the books by the pictures of Home with his grandfather are American Style, Kinfolk (2x), Changeless (a paranormal romance novel), and a book about cooking (interesting)
But both pictures shatter causing a separation between Home and his grandfather in the image.
And his grandfather kept these pictures on his desk in his office which is now being occupied by the lead attorney.
All of the characters are color-coded.
So Rak possessed the Pink Person.
Red Rascal Home wore orange twice
But in the end, Blue (and Green) Boy Peach wore orange
And Home wore blue.
However, I think everyone will wear orange at some point because all roads lead to the grandfather.
Finally, the uncle joked that he would buy all the properties, and Home told him he knew he just wanted to make a profit, but the warehouse immediately got in offer while they were still in the building. It's too sus to be connected, no?
Oh, and when Pang told Peach that he was a good and kind big brother who she would always support, the steak in the shape of a heart was behind her.
And when Peach was talking about how much he hates the name Home picked for them, the heart steak is by Peach's left sleeve
