Some key points from the episode:
The pilot establishes the rules of the universe. Ghosts stay behind because of unfinished business, guilt, or denial. They are often surrounded by "dregs" or shadows. The act of crossing over is portrayed not as a religious judgment, but as a release from suffering.
