1 - Birthday presence
Melinda has an emergency delivery and Aidan is born. We instantly move to 'five years later' and they're happily throwing Aidan's birthday party, but also a bit worried by what Delia calls 'the birthday curse' because every year something happens on that day.
The child can see ghosts too, and there's a ghost woman telling him to go with her. He sees her every birthday. The woman died right when Aidan was born, so she thought Aidan was hers, but it's not. Her baby is well and lives with his dad and his wife. Aidan has 'empathy', he can feel other people's emotions.
2 - See no evil
Gwen, a girl who died in a car accident that also got her mom in a coma thinks it's because she didn't forward a chain-mail and now she's sending that chain-mail to everyone and hurting people that delete it. Mom had a brain tumor that caused the accident, and when she dies she explains it to her daughter.
A little girl that lives in the hospital has a scary ghost-friend that made her start the chain.
3 - Till death do us start
Eli's dad dies and Melinda sees Eli's ghost-mom. She died seven years ago. They're both ghosts now, and his dad keeps trying to keep Eli and his childhood friend Casey apart. Melinda thinks it could be because she might be his half-sister. His father Ray was dead jealous of his wife Evelyn and Casey's dad Dom, but finally the truth comes out. Evelyn was indeed having an affair, but with Casey's mom Ann. Ray was so sure that she was having an affair with Dom, he was never sure if Eli was really his son. Now they move on, but Casey is freaked out by the ghost-thing so they won't be a couple.
4 - Do over
Delia is having a terrible date... After that business with Charlie's ghost, I thought she had started to date that friend of Jim... the one Charlie wanted for her but maybe it didn't work out.
The morgue at Jim's hospital is haunted :-p
Eli is sick and has no voice and is tired of his mom being there all the time :-p
In the 50s a patient died in surgery, but Melinda finds that he's still alive. He was dead for three minutes but came back. The doctor had a heart attack and died.
Delia finds her secret admirer, the one who's been sending her gifts and spreading flower petals for her : the waiter who spilled wine on her because he feels nervous around her.
Melinda talks to the ghost of the doctor, making him understand that he didn't kill anyone, he saved his patient.
So, who's haunting the morgue?? We'll see...
5 - Cause for alarm
Melinda sees Aidan talking to imaginary friends. She tells her 'secret' to Carolyn, Aidan's teacher. Years ago she was going to elope with Sean, but he was accused of stealing, he ran away and had an accident, and died weeks later in a hospital. Carolyn's dad framed him to get him out of their lives.
Aidan can see things that Melinda doesn't see, 'friends' made of light scared of the 'shadows' left by broken people.
6 - Head over heels
Rich Nathan asks Eli to help him with his anxiety attacks. Melinda is worried because her empath son keeps keeping up feelings and odd behaviour. Eli is worried because Melinda knows who his patient is and that his sister died, and she tells him: "who can keep a secret better than me?" which is funny and stupid, because she's always telling everyone or doing strange things and talking to thin air in public...
Nathan was in love with a girl that died, and never knew he had a son, never knew she was sick. After her death her son found out about Nathan being his father and believes that he neglected them and is angry. Melinda brings them together to talk and make peace.
Aidan tells mom and 'dad' of his imaginary friends, different from ghosts somehow.
7 - Devil's bargain
A 19-year-old girl scared of an operation has Jim promise her he won't let anything bad happen to her, but then she dies. He feels guilty and thinks that she's haunting him, but no, it's a completely different story. Surgeon Morgan, Jim's teacher, had a story with student Tina (she was in Jim's class) but she disappeared and died. President Bedford or something tells Eli out loud and clear that he doesn't like him, but later he tells Eli that he did keep him behind to protect him and Melinda too. The 'shadows' are scaring people, they are dangerous...
8 - Dead listing
Kirk died of allergy reaction and tells Melinda that his wife Rita killed him. Delia knew them both because they worked in real estate as well (the actor is Richard from Ally McBeal).
It's a tough case because they appear to hate each other, it's a 'war of the roses' situation. What they don't know is that they were both trying to make up but he died first. The fights started for jealousy, and she ended up electrocuting herself by accident so now that she's a ghost too they can see each other and talk and make peace and cross over together.
Aidan's friend can do magic tricks, so he wants to do magic too, using his ghost friends to help him.
Melinda and Jim speak to him to make him understand he must not do that. They don't know there's a ghost of a little girl in his room who tells him that if people find out she's there something bad will happen...
9 - Lost in the shadows
Melinda finds her, the girl that lived in the hospital, in Aidan's closet. Melinda talks about Julia's parents, the angry little girl, and tells them her 'secret' of course, and they're quick and willing to accept it. Julia's very scary "you don't know what you're dealing with". That same night Aidan goes missing. Melinda tells the cop (Eli's friend) that she can see ghosts. Julia leads Aidan to a train station where she thought they'd find kids. She believes that she can't go into the light because the good ghosts will suffer. The place was shut down while she was in the hospital so she doesn't know about it. Carl tells Melinda not to anger the 'shadows'. The 'shadows' attack the little ghost girl and Aidan helps her to call the 'shinings', but they don't come in. Aidan points a light at the shadows to make them go away, and it works. Melinda and Jim finally find him and take him home. There, Melinda has Julia's parents talk to her, and to introduce her to her friends: Ned, Eli, Delia... Julia thinks that when she tried to help her little friend she made her more sick instead, until she died. Lili had leuchemia, the same thing she had. Her parents didn't tell her to let her have hope, because she died a lot later. Finally Julia sees Lili smiling, into the light, so she says goodbye and goes into it.
10 - Excessive forces
Melinda and Jim have a night out leaving Delia with him. While going to meet them, Eli gets pulled over by a cop with a ghost in his back seat, who tells them "do what he says, he's a killer with a badge".
Melinda's car was toed away, and 'accidentally' stripped down looking for drugs. Jim gets her a new car. The ghost is Dylan, a kid who died in an accident. His friend Jake was dating AnneMarie Ramsey, the cop's daughter, but Ramsey was harassing Jake to keep him away from her. Dylan had been breaking his mailbox with a baseball bat, and AnneMarie was so mad at her dad that she had Jake do it too. Ramsey was a control freak, and he cemented the mailbox, so when Jake hit it, it didn't break, and the bat moved backwards and hit Dylan.
They all have a good talk together and Dylan crosses over. Last thing he said was "will you tell them I said goodbye?" and she said "I will, I promise". Why didn't she say it right away, while he was there? I don't understand this way of writing things...
11 - Dead air
Ned has a radio show, and airs a made-up-break-up-call. Delia's upset about it and because she barely sees him anymore, now that he's in college. A woman bursts in accusing Ned of broadcasting a real story, not a made up one. He simply found it on his computer, and after she goes out the machines go crazy, the word 'killers' appears on the laptop and his friend's ear starts bleeding. The ghost then reveals to Ned's girlfriend that he cheated on her. Delia is very angry after hearing it all on the radio.
Melinda finds Delia in her shop and says "do you want your job back?"... when exactly did she stop working there?
Years ago a man pretended to break up with his wife for another woman to win a trip to Bahamas, which seems even stupider than it is when you hear him say how jealous she always was :-/ I mean, come on! The wife Maggie actually put the radio dj up to this, so sure her husband was cheating she wanted him to get a name out of it. She was wrong back then, she ruined her marriage; now her ex Jack is married to the girl he named, Daisy, but that happened later. She was engaged to Bruce, but when Maggie called him to tell him everything, he died in a car accident. Bruce was jealous too.
Jack and Daisy got along well together, but maybe they would have remained good friends, they had no intentions of leaving them.
12 - Blessings in disguise
Ned likes a new girl in town, Katie. Her family acts weird. Melinda has a vision touching her brother's hand, and Aidan saw it too... Her real name is Rachel, and her parents were 'protesters', and one of his friends died instantly in an accident trying to do something bigger than spraying, and all this time he's been haunting them believing that he left him behind to die alone; Melinda allows them to talk it out and the ghost Trevor tells them where to find the proof that he didn't kill him.
Rachel's father still has to answer for the fact that he ran away, but his family won't have to, and they'll be able to stay where they are, and not keep running away anymore.
13 - Living nightmare
Robert (Will from Criminal minds) comes to Jim's hospital all bloody and Melinda has a vision of a girl being hurt with a knife.
(Jim says to him, "my name's Jim"........ well, it's not, have you forgotten? you're Sam now right? Everybody sees Sam and knows you as Sam, because Jim died...... but this little detail has been forgotten apparently so not to disturb anyone with the maybe-unpleasant thought that she actually had a child with Sam.... )
Robert's biological father was believed insane and the murderer of his wife. Robert has the same pathology, a chronic insomnia without cure that leads to death. The ghost of Robert's father says that the demons get to you when you sleep, that's why he doesn't want the doctor to make Robert sleep. He didn't want to hurt his wife, he wanted to protect her from the demons inside him (and she died from a simple cut on her arm? As bad as it may have been, she just stayed there to die? what did I miss?)
His father was preventing Robert from sleeping, but it turn out that Robert is not sick like him. Dad never slept. Robert is about to kill himself when his girlfriend and Melinda stop him. Without his father interfering, he can now sleep.
14 - Dead to me
Ned gives his teacher of the occult a ouiji board, and they have a message from the dead. She thinks that he's trying to hit on her, and he tells her that she's haunted. The ghost leads her to meet a man, and they like each other, until Brian turns out to be the guy on the other car in the accident that killed her fiancèe Curtis, and his daughter too. The girl brought them together because they're so much alike and understand each other, and Madison wanted to do something for him, like finding him someone to talk to. After that's over, the board still tells Melinda that someone she knows is about to die.
15 - Implosion
Aidan's turtle Giovanni died. Eli's cop friend is transferred.
Eli and Ned take turns in hiding the Book of Changes... :-/
A 12-y-o kid dies at a military base, and he tells Melinda and Eli that Bedford, the President of Eli's university, took away a mine from the base. He keeps asking them for the Book, he's scared of the Shadows, and he threatens to kill himself along with Delia if they don't give it to him. Eli goes to Delia's office with the Book, freeing her, then talks to him and gives him the Book (it's all blank pages now). Eli goes away and the Shadows make the bomb explode, killing Bedford. The Book of Changes is now in Ned's home disguised as a school book, but Bedford's ghost sees it.
Robert (Will from Criminal minds) comes to Jim's hospital all bloody and Melinda has a vision of a girl being hurt with a knife.
(Jim says to him, "my name's Jim"........ well, it's not, have you forgotten? you're Sam now right?

16 - Old sins cast long shadows
Ned is hurt again while checking out a house for Melinda - haunted obviously, they all are apparently. Delia can't take it anymore, after the explosion, but of course Melinda doesn't stop looking for her ghost. A little girl, Cassidy's ghost, is there, but she's not the only one. In that house many years ago an old woman pretended to be a medium and now she keeps ghost children trapped in there to please the Shadows. Melinda can cross over Cassidy and her two older ghost friends who tried to protect her, and Delia comes to help them all.
17 - On thin ice
(Eli cried reading Twilight??? Oh my.... )
A graphic novelist is haunted. So we have an episode with Melinda in graphic-novel-style... oh-my-again....
The anthropology teacher helps them. Thanks to her 'anonymous' call, the body of Shane is found frozen in a lake. His stepbrother Colin is the real author of Damon's new novel. Finally Damon admits it in front of everybody at his book signing. Shane took Colin's work and brought it to Damon, than took a shortcut across the lake and fell through. Now Colin and Damon will probably work together.
End: Aidan draws two figures, him and his 'brother': just imagination or premonition or...?
18 - Dead eye
The ghost of a clown scares Melinda, she has a sort of phobia for clowns I guess. Charles was actually a private investigator who died dressed as a clown at a party. He's still here to protect Sherry because she's a very good girl. She won the lottery and gives a lot to charity. She left her long-term boyfriend because she thought he proposed after eight years together because he had found out about it, but he didn't. He proposed because he thought she was pregnant. She became engaged to a guy she thought was rich already so didn't need her money, but he's actually almost broke and does know that she's rich. At the end, Sherry and Todd get back together. Charlie fell in love with her too, and goes away now that he knows she'll be happy.
Bedford's ghost comes to tell her "trust nothing and no-one"
19 - Lethal combination
Jim wants to take Melinda out on a date and calls a new babysitter, and Aidan tells this Kelly that she stinks then insists on playing hide and seek. He got locked in a little cross-space and she called 911. A ghost tells Melinda to keep Kelly away from children. They ask a man who gave Kelly references (the ghost was his wife) and again they introduce themselves as Melinda and Jim..... they completely forgot (maybe by distraction maybe on purpose who knows) that he's Sam for the world!
Accidents keep happening to children in Kelly's care. Ex-wife Laura cause the accidents and tried to kill Kelly and Gil. Laura had been addicted to painkillers and alcohol, and Kelly became Gil's second wife, according to their traditional lifestyle (???). He loved Laura, with Kelly was something different, not romantic (??) Kelly took care of their daughter.
20 - Blood money

21 - Dead ringer
Gail and Kyle are moving in together in Grandview and she says her dad did not like that when he was alive.
Watcher Carl keeps teaching Aidan board-games, chess....
Melinda sees Kyler's ghost and tells Gail he's dead, but he's not. Melinda's visions are getting more and more strong and real, scaringly so. Ned thinks the Shadows are messing with her head.
Kyle had a twin brother and they were both adopted by a loving couple, but Seth died when he was 8, only a week before they would be brought home. Melinda gets served with a restraining order...
Aidan falls and hurts his head and she didn't help him because she thought it was a vision..
Carl tells her that Aidan is in danger, from the Shadows. He tells her to make Aidan stop seeing ghosts, to tell him that these things are not real, but she doesn't want to.
Kyle sees Seth too, and Seth threatens Melinda's life. Seth is angry because when their adopted mom died in the plane crash she went into the light instead of staying with them. Melinda tells Kyle that she went because she was happy from all the love that she had for them (well, for Kyle, but Seth hoped he could have her too now) and Melinda and Jim have a discussion about keeping Aidan safe.
Seth breaks a lot of stuff at the shop (ghosts do a lot of things that people can see, like moving things), and finally Melinda gets him to calm down realising that he's just mirroring Kyle's image but he died at eight years old, wanting her mom and a family. Before going into the light, Seth tells her that Bedford told him to be angry at Melinda.
Melinda is sad because to keep Aidan safe she'll have to lie to him and change who he is.
22 - The children's parade
Aidan tells them "I feel better, that there's no such things as ghosts. I feel better"
Melinda acts strangely, in a bad mood, saying hard things like that she hates her shop, that she can't see the difference between real people and ghosts. Carl tells Eli that making Aidan believe he can't see ghosts is a terrible thing, and maybe the Shadows made him say otherwise to Melinda.
Aidan can still see ghosts and Shinings, and he tells Carl that the Shinings are children who have crossed over already, that's why the Shadows want ghost children. The Shadows take hold of Melinda, so Carl asks for Aidan's help. He calls all the Shinings to help and fight the Shadows away and save her.
Melinda and Aidan go together to talk to the ghost boy at the hospital who was sad thinking nobody ever loved him or wanted him, but his mother did, so much she died saving him, and he crossed over along with a lot of children that many years ago
