If you actually have a soft pulldown on hand, I doubt there can be leftover combs (you're supposed to force film those to begin with, btw).
Still, in case you have some small combs to fix for whatever reason (different patterns overlayed or stuff like that), then try vinverse.
Another good filter for the purpose can be daa.

You don't need to IVTC soft telecine, that's the whole point of soft telecine. If you have combing in soft telecined material, then it's field blending and you're pretty screwed. You should read up on how to process soft telecine, see mirko's post.

Is this ghosting?

Looks like chroma blending (ghosting is generally luma). It's simple enough to check if that "ghosting" effect is in every moving frame but if it is then you can calculate the offset, lose a frame at the start or end, and shift it accordingly. But I almost wonder, given the slight combing above, if you tried to IVTC it or something and that's why it happened. What exactly did you do to have it as a progressive clip?

The frames are blended only in a small section of the episode.

It's combed because you didn't read the manual. Do you know what fieldop actually does?
