1 - Love never dies
It’s Andrea’s funeral. A man says “I’ll have her”. Melinda wants to see her and help her. She goes to an ‘expert’ to learn about dark spirits; he does a research for her, this professor. He finds that in 1939 this man Romano turned lots of people to the dark side, and with all them he committed suicide. Now he’s still recruiting souls. He never killed, himself, he convinced them, they were all acting of their own free will, 100 or more people. Andrea died in the accident, her brother Mitch is alive, and she can’t forgive herself because when she realized this, she wished, she prayed for things to be the other way around. For a moment she wished he was dead :( Melinda tells Mitch, and they talk to each other through her and make peace and forgive themselves and Andrea’s safe now and Romano can’t have her now.
2 - Love still won’t die
Melinda sees a boy shoplifting and calls his mom, and she meets Delia. The guy who was researching her name during the last episode, is hit by a car and dies. He haunts her now. It turns out he was an ex-boyfriend, they went out in college for a year, then he left her when she told him her secret. He married but was always obsessed with her. He’s not willing to let her go, he wants to be together again. He messes with her house, throwing Jim’s stuff around, but that’s it. It kind of ended too easily, she tells him she’ll never forget how he hurt her, that his is not love, and he calms down and says sorry (...) both to her and to his ex-wife. Just like that.
3 - Drowned lives
A couple bought a house in town, and there’s the ghost of a little girl causing trouble. She drowned in the pool, and her brother tried to help her but couldn’t. The mother was locked in her room and dad was away. Melinda brings them together to talk to her and make peace.
4 - The ghost within
Melinda and Delia buy some stuff for Melinda’s shop and there’s a ghost that can’t see her, and is troubled, and breaks lots of stuff in her shop. How can she keep it open with her hours and her troubles....
The ghost wants her to destroy those wood images, she burns them but they come back so she goes again to that professor for help. It’s an autistic man who died leaving his autistic girlfriend behind, and wants her to be ok and meet her mother again.
5 - Giving up the ghost
A dead baseball player now haunts the body of a young player. He’s full of anger, he was high when he played and when he died while driving. She makes him realize the coach did not kill him but tried to help him and in doing so got hurt ending his career. He understands and leaves the kid alone
6 - A grave matter
A ghost, Adam Godfrey, tells Melinda that he’s been buried under the wrong name: Steven Burris, and there’s a ghost woman following Delia because of a bag Delia bought recently. Melinda finds the note she was looking for in the bag.
Steve never actually died, only Adam. Steven fakes his death but now tells the truth to his grieving wife who’s happy to have him back.
In the last scene, a creepy, bleeding ghost comes to her with obscure words.
7 - The woman of his dreams
Melinda goes away to her mom who is about to have a knee-surgery or something. Jim’s alone at home and strange things happen: lights going off, beetles everywhere, a naked woman in his dreams, surgeons, and the beetles even follow him outside, on him, which freaked Delia out. Jim: “I should go. Look you have my cell right? You call me in case anything goes wrong?” Delia: “yeah. Just as long as the beetles don’t form a gang and come after me I think I’ll be fine” and Jim “ok” and adds seriously “if they do, call me” :lol:
Jim tells Melinda and she tells him to go see professor Payne. Jim finds out who is the girl in his dreams, a model who died recently, and also a girl that Jim knew as a kid. A girl who tried to change herself to please people, to be as pretty as people wanted her, and had plastic surgery and died during the operation. She was worried for her sister about to follow her career.
For once it was an episode with a ghost haunting Jim :-)
Him’s friend takes a fancy on Delia.
8 - A vicious cycle
Jim took Melinda camping, and they stumble on a ghost, Anna, a woman who died twenty years or thirty years before. Her husband used to beat her so she took her three-year-old daughter and ran away but died. Anne’s husband told Lanie that she had left her because she was crazy because he didn’t want her to know the truth and hate him. Now he has to confess, to make Lanie understand and stop her from marrying Todd, who abuses her.
9 - The night we met
Melinda gets scared seeing Jim at work during a big fire; the anniversary of when they met is near, she thinks he forgot and we see how they met on the job - his job, he was there for a fire. Is he a firefighter or a paramedic?
Professor Payne goes to her shop “do you claim to have supernatural powers?” “it sometimes seems so” which doesn’t sound like the truth to me. She asks him “if somebody said to you that there would be five signs and then death would come, what would you think?”, he jokes and she “I’m being serious!” - “that’s what scares me”, but still doesn’t answer.
Melinda investigates a fire because she saw a ghost on fire. The ghost, Warren Chen (Tim Kang), everybody thinks he set the fire the first time and died in it, but he didn’t, his partner did and he just happened to be there. He couldn’t let it go because now his partner was living with his wife.
Delia shares a memory of her husband Charlie: he always forgot their anniversary, and when one day she confronted him on that he said “it’s just one day, what’s one day confronted to being married to you every single day” ... But of course Jim did not forget their anniversary!
10 - The curse of the ninth
Jared, the singer of the band Crimson Doves, died and the others could never play again, it was like a curse... Brandon has two ghosts around! His father, stopping him from playing what he likes because he wants him to finish his symphony, and Jared trying to stop his dad from sabotaging him.
Brandon’s dad is proud of him and tells Melinda that Jared is the one sabotaging him. Jared doesn’t want to cross over. He was full of envy for his music. Dad helps him playing the piano and Brandon plays again - it’s much much easier to believe in ghosts when, like in this show, they actually DO stuff that you can see, in the real world...
Brandon’s dad crosses over, but Jared refuses her help and tells her there are others who want him and that they’ll see each other again.
Ned, Delia’s son, finds out that she sees ghosts and wants her help, but Melinda never saw Charlie. They were together twelve years. Jim talks to Ned.
11 - Cat’s claw
Melinda sees the ghost of an adventurer who never came back from his expedition through the jungle. Melinda goes to professor Payne, and strange things happen to him, things moving and such.
Payne goes to her drunk and the ghost enters him to tell her to go save the woman who went to the jungle with him, and they go and save her. She took too many pills. She’s safe and the ghost can cross over now. Melinda told Rick Payne her secret and he promised to keep it.
Melinda has us notice that Payne has a wedding ring on, but looks sad when she mentions it. When he gets home he shouts I’m home, like somebody’s there, but it doesn’t seem like there’s anybody around. He gets drunk before going to Melinda’s house, and at the end when he goes back home we see a woman closing a window.
12 - Dead to rights
A man’s in a coma. His parents won’t accept it, won’t let him go. His wife wants to pull the plug but they say she wants to kill him for his money. Melinda talks to the parents and wife together telling them what Hugh wants, to let him go and stop fighting each other.
Ned tries to give away his father’s stuff because watching it makes Delia sad, but she doesn’t want, at first, then they talk it over and reach a compromise, giving part of it away.
Melinda sees two latin words on Jim’s back and Rick Payne tells her it means : death of a loved one
13 - Deja boo
Melinda and Jim have a couple for dinner. She’s pregnant, and there’s a ghost attached to her. Holly and Scott.
Tim, Jim’s friend, comes to the shop to see Delia, with an excuse :-) - he can’t work out a matrioska? Seriously?- He buys a candle and then he leaves it on Delia’s car with a note “turns out I don’t have a sister. Hope to see you again. Tim” Nice :)
Melinda’s ghost is a mystery. The same face, but he appears to her in different ways, different clothes, different names, like he’s all those four men. Melinda asks again Payne’s help - they are kind of funny: Payne “I’m a little tired of you using me just for my brain” - “if only that was possible, but so much of your mouth comes with it” :-p
This Eric ghost was using the identities of three dead man for fraud, and then also collecting stuff about them. “I died four times” he says. He’s Eric but he remembers dying as Richard, Oscar and Johnny. He says he saw the light, went into it, and came back. She considers reincarnation, it’s like the soul comes back until he gets it right, and now maybe he’s about to be born again, as Holly’s child, and he doesn’t want that. Melinda thinks that Eric will kill Holly’s baby to avoid coming back, but the baby’s fine, and she’s a girl! They call her Erika, but Erik’s still here, not inside her. Melinda keeps feeling sick and thinks she’s pregnant and Erik’s soul will reincarnate in her baby. At the end Erik crosses over and Melinda’s pregnancy test comes out negative. It’s lovely how much Jim loves her, so so much it’s touching, it’s not a thing that really exists.
Melinda and Jim give Delia and Tim Broadway ticket to help them. She shows up at the date but he doesn’t.
14 - Speed demon
Melinda sees a ghost saying that someone is gonna die. She calls a skeleton but it looked to me like someone with a bad mask.
When Melinda asks, Delia tells her that Tim didn’t show up.
Ned is hanging out with older guys. They do illegal car races. A racer, Gordon Pike, died a year ago when his car blew up during a race. His girlfriend Cindy was faster than him and that caused trouble. Melinda has them make peace.
Melinda goes to Payne and meets his wife, and she tells him that “if he ever want to talk..”
15 - Mean ghost
Cheerleaders are being hurt. One of them died last year. Tais died, Maddie quit and adopted a goth look, and Rana is going out with her boyfriend. They were once good friends, but then Rana and Tais turned on Maddy calling her a liar because they found out that she wasn’t rich, she didn’t live in that big house, her dad worked there. Now of course Rana says it has nothing to do with the money, it’s because she lied: yeah sure :-/ Ties tried to make peace but Maddy didn’t show up and Tais died in that place where they were supposed to meet. Rana was there too but left in anger, closing the door. Tais wanted Maddy back in the team but Rana didn’t. Tais liked Maddy because she was different , unique. Rana was maybe kind of jealous because she wanted to be her only best friend. It was an accident of course, Rana had no idea she was locking her in the room. Melinda has the girls confront each other and make peace. The ending: Maddy now does the cheerleaders’ choreography for the competition.
Melinda remembers when she was bullied in high school, called ‘freak’ (but ponytails can’t make her look like a young teenager, sorry - weirdly she looks younger in her normal look).
16 - The cradle will rock
Melinda is not even thirty yet???
Melinda and Delia are at a jewellery store when there’s a robbery and the guy takes all the jewels including Delia’s engagement ring. Randy of the shop dies and it turns out his sister has Delia’s ring, and her husband robbed the store. Randy was in on it, desperate for money. That was obvious.
Melinda is in his basement and she just gets out opening the door! She locks Wyatt in and now he has to shoot the lock to come out! Randy is doing a lot, though, now, so maybe he did it, he opened and closed the doors. Finally Randy’s sister calls the police on Wyatt. Randy doesn’t go into the light, he “got another offer” and tells her “the dead will walk”.
The wife finds the money and goes away with their baby girl.
17 - The walk-in
A corpse walks out of the morgue and his spirit Brian comes to Melinda for an explanation. She goes to Payne. There’s another soul into the body, the ghost of a kid. This zombie keeps walking; he was a disabled kid who died ten years before and he took the body of an old classmate, homecoming king, to go to the class reunion and kiss the homecoming queen. Now, if Melinda has to ask professor Payne “how to preserve the body”, how can a 16-y-o kid know? Jim cuffs the corpse, so Melinda can have a chat with Brian and Jason at the same time, and finds out that Brian committed suicide, never able to face a difficult life. Melinda and Jim free the corpse and apply make-up on him to have him go to the reunion with Melinda and Brian’s ghost too. Brian gets to tell the truth confronting his regrets and Jason gets to get his message over to his best friend Alyssa through Melinda, to never give up on her dreams. Now Jason is a kid, but kissing the queen was such a lame wish, it had to be Alyssa.. Both ghosts cross over at the end.
Tim tries to make amends and say sorry to Delia. He keeps trying, and at the end she sits with him for a coffee outside Melinda’s shop :-) This was nice :-)
For once Melissa didn’t reveal her ‘secret’ to anyone :-p
18 - Delia’s first ghost.
A ghost scares Ned and sabotages Delia’s first date with a colleague. He won’t show himself to Melinda, but a naked ghost appears to her :-p
Finally Melinda sees Charlie, and she tells Delia her ‘secret’, and Delia’s upset with her “you need help, you are nuts” and “I quit”, then strange things happen and she goes back to Melinda. Charlie finally talks to Melinda and it turns out he’s been there for a while. He wants Delia and Tim together because he saved his life once. Charlie managed to bring Delia to Melinda and by doing that to Tim as well. Charlie wants them to be happy, Delia and Ned. He doesn’t want Ned to get in trouble, and then he crosses over. Delia still thinks Melinda’s nuts but she also doesn’t want to lose their friendship :-) and she goes out with Tim :-)
19 - Children of ghosts
Melinda and Delia are out buying stuff at an estate sale, it seems like they buy more than they sell sometimes :-p Delia’s dog is acting strange because there’s a dog-ghost around (and because of this of course Delia’s character is suddenly provided with a dog). It was funny when Melinda told the dog-ghost “do you see a light?” :lol: well, she tried... that dog-ghost provided a few funny scenes - the dog therapist is Cesar, the one from tv :-p
Melinda is interested in Julie, a girl abandoned by her mother and in need of a foster home. Melinda wants to help her and convinces Jim to become foster parents for her. Melinda asks Payne’s help regarding the haunted-kid :-p He suggests poltergeist, then he tells her what she’s doing is pretty great and Melinda: “are you getting soft on me?” - “are you kidding? I am schmetterling, hear me roar” :lol:
Melinda tries to talk to Julie, calm her, get her to continue her piano lessons, and also investigates what happened to her mother. A woman tells her that the child died... Payne brings in machines to monitor Julie’s brain activity. It turns out her mom Valerie’s ghost is there, it’s no poltergeist after all. Valerie stole her when she was a baby, she didn’t adopt her, she stole her, kidnapped her, and now she wants to take her back to her real mother. Valerie knew that she was sick so she wanted to get her back to her real mom but died first. Melinda tells Julie everything. It turns out her real mom is her piano teacher. Melinda brings them together, and Valerie crosses over. The dog doesn’t, and stays out her door. A ghost watchdog, it’s a pity we hear nothing more about him in future episodes.
20 - The collector
Melinda wears quite a sexy dress for a funeral :-/ At the funeral home she sees another ghost-whisperer, a man talking to a ghost. Melinda wants to meet him and goes to talk to the funeral home’s usual ghost :-p That man talked to him too but he wants to stay right there :-p The man’s called Gabriel. Melinda meets him, takes him home to talk, and Jim looks kinda jealous.
Both Melinda and Gabriel noticed the shift in the spirit world, they’re getting stronger, can affect us more than they could before...
Gabriel didn’t live with his uncle, he was a patient in a psychiatric hospital, and we finally have proof that Payne’s wife is a ghost. She tells Rick to read her journal as she wants.
Melinda follows Gabriel to a house full of ghosts, and she meets again those ghosts that refused the light. Gabriel says “we’re getting ready, we’re blocking the light soon no-one’s gonna get through”.
Four of the five signs have happened, not yet the ‘death of a loved one’.
What Rick’s wife wanted him to know is that she was having an affair and wanted to leave him...
Gabriel had been watching her for some time; Rick’s wife tells Melinda that Gabriel wanted her to hurt Rick, that he wants to hurt everybody who helps Melinda, to make her weak. They want the dead to be stronger than the living. Gabriel tries to keep the dead here.
Rick refuses to forgive his wife, keeps saying “no”, he says “there’s too much pain” and she changes and says “he doesn’t know what pain is, none of you do but you all will”. I understand the pain but Rick was so lame: “she was with another man Melissa!” :-/ She’s dead, she’s sorry, and he contributed to help the bad guy, I’d say it was time to let it go.
21 - The prophet
The floor is full of water and she plans to use a towel?? For real??
Melinda dreams of Delia dead. A ghost tells her “it all started with Mary O’Connell”, which turns out to be a British ship that sank two years before.
We see that Melinda has got a shirt and pants, which is rather shocking news to the season.
This ghost is showing her pieces she doesn’t understand. Payne wants to go on a sabbatical. A man (Julian Sands) meets children (one in London and one in Moscow) that keep doing the same strange drawing because “it’s in their head, they have to get it out”. One is in Rome, but it sounds like they couldn’t get an Italian person for the scene.. his Italian is rather... .
it’s always the same drawing. This kid speaks Italian well, he might be Italian, not sure. He draws Melinda holding a lamp (one like the one I have ). Melinda sees cars falling down a bridge on her and she keeps screaming and nobody says anything??
Rick stays to help her and they hug. She looks up bridge incidents in Italy and sees a page written in Italian, with only a few mistakes here and there... “Bergamo. La struttura viene a mancare. 111 vittima sul ponticello, dado 2 qui sotto (???) catastrofe del ponticello de Bergamo”.
Melinda finds on May 11th a bridge accident in Rome, a ship sank in Britain, a tunnel collapsed in Russia, plane crash in Grandview in four years. In one week it’ll be May 11 2007. A call tells her to go to a house where she meets the three children and Julian Sands saying “you have something I want”
22 - The gathering
Julian Sands plays Ethan Clark, British millionaire. Those children are the only survivors. He’s here to locate the little girl who survived the plane crash. Stefano speaks not only good Italian, but perfect English too, must be Italian-American.
Melinda tells everything to Delia. The little girl wrote at school “I hate knowing what I know”.
Payne speaks of little things that may have big repercussions on the world, the future.
Grandma comes to Melinda in a dream: “the only way I can come to you now” and “they’re gonna come for you honey, just don’t be afraid, you must protect the balance”.
She tells Ethan her ‘secret’, and he says his wife was a psychic but he laughed at her for believing it. She had a bad feeling about the ferry but he didn’t cancel, then was late and she got on without him and died. Melinda and Payne figure out something will happen at the crash-memorial.
Melinda is all “not a good time” to a poor spirit who needs help.. it also seems like she could even listen for a moment, it might very well be a quick thing, and the more she crosses over the better right?
Melinda thinks Gabriel is following Delia, then tries to follow him but loses him. Maybe if she wore more comfortable shoes instead of heels from time to time she’d be quicker...
Kristen, the little girl, goes to Melinda, she wants to meet the other children.
It turns out that Ethan’s wife is the ghost that’s been giving signs to Melinda, the red-hooded woman. Melinda sees Gabriel talking to Ethan and doesn’t even try to stop them, she goes to Payne! Come on, she should have thought of the kids :-/
Ethan believed Gabriel’s lies and gave him the kids. Silly man. Well, pain clouds judgement, I know.
The kids are at the memorial. The dark spirits come and the four kids are in danger. Everyone runs away but Melinda runs towards them and saves them. She remains on the floor and sees everything as a spirit. She comes back, thanks to the ‘yellow crayon’ Stefano gave her.
“It wasn’t about me protecting them, it was about them protecting me”. The spirit of her father told her she has a brother. It ends without saying who that is, but it doesn’t need saying..
