Ghost whisperer - season 3

in progress
Missing eps from 14 to 18 (end).


1- The underneath
A surprise party for Melinda, for saving those kids and she receives the city's recognition & thanks :-)
Melinda wears pants and a tank top, she looks good, actually better :-)
She sees strange things on walls and floors. She goes to her mom saying that she thinks 'dad's dead', because "I saw him when I died on the field... he said I have a brother". She says that she does not have a second child. Melinda asks Jim "Am I being obsessive?" - "yes, but with good reasons" :) lovely Jim.
In the pictures taken at the party, there is a man, maybe a ghost?
A girl brings to Melinda a box of old stuff to sell. She's an orphan. Her dad is haunting Melinda, accusing her of letting someone die. Melinda's father helps her in a dream. Melinda's mom was there when the guy died, she saw his ghost but refused to help, she talked to his wife but only said "your husband.." and nothing more, she wouldn't talk about ghosts, so the woman ran on and died. It was a big gas leak or something, a big hole in the ground, an explosion... "I never learned to deal with them... I just can't stand to feel their pain, it stops me cold" and "just leave me alone".
Melinda helps the man and his daughter. The only thing her mom tells her at the end is to leave Grandview because it'll hurt her but of course she refuses.
The blog guy now goes to Payne and guess what? The genius leaves him alone so of course he makes a copy of all Melinda's photos from his computer :-/
Somehow I think I know this actress playing Jennifer... but I can't place her.
2- Don't try this at home
The myth of Bloody Mary. A girl with a heart condition died of scare, and now disguised as bloody Mary Rachel seeks revenge. Two girls are in a coma, but not dead. Melinda talks to Rachel and her parents. The two girls wake up.
It was actually a nice episode :-)
3- Haunted hero
Grandview's "war hero" comes back home; Melinda and Jim meet him at the bus. She sees things and hears war sounds, and strangely the others hear the shots too. There's a video on the net showing Matt making it to the Humvee and driving away leaving his men behind. The father of a dead soldier wants an investigation. There is proof to help Matt, all the bulletts are on the front of the vehicle, meaning that he was driving towards the enemy and danger, not away from it.
Another episode where ghosts actions can be noticed by the living :-/
Matt tried to go alone, a suicide mission to save his men, but his gun jammed.
When there were no more enemies the team came to get him and all died because of a bomb, and he couldn't take it. Something like that, he was very troubled, haunted by his memories.
4- No safe place
Melinda sees a ghost of a girl and thinks that she's a man's dead girlfriend, but he tells her that Colleen was crazy, a stalker. She investigates, goes to her place and finds a restraining order: he was stalking her! He was sending flowers to her! Now she wants revenge. Shane made all her friends go away. Only her detective stayed and knew the truth. Now Shane plans to stalk Melinda. With Colleen's help she hacks in to his computer and sends his secret files to everyone in the firm, plus clients and the detective, so now he's ruined. He can finally be charged :) He kills himself and his ghost goes to her! Stalking her again...
Somehow hands got him and took him down, through her basement's wall. There's something there... Well, she ran away but it worked out well for her! He was saying how he liked the new situation because "now we can be together forever" and was moving towards her when he was pulled back.
5- Weight of what was
Gabriel comes to Melinda's house, and Jim is all protective, pushing him out :)
He gives her something, talks about finding 'their' father, tells her that his mom was in the same psychiatric hospital he was in. Later on a ghost comes to her, saying that 'they took her baby', and Melinda thinks it's Gabriel's mother, but before she can talk more she's pulled in the wall like Shane. There are dark spirits hidden underground. Melinda tells Jim about proof that Gabriel is her half-brother?!? Dr Lawrence's tests? I don't remember any test of this kind, what is this about??
Amy Acker plays the ghost :-)
Melinda and Payne find old teeth. It turns out that the ghost is not Gabriel's mother, she says she's called Tessa. Melinda finds that a strange fever caused people to go insane, dozens died, people killed each other... Tessa saw a ghost who warned her and she tried to warn the others.
Melinda goes alone at night to investigate where the church where many died was. She moves some shelves (so easily :-p ) at the Archives, she opens a door and goes inside alone. A ghost tells Gabriel and so he goes to the City Hall Archives to close the door, trapping her inside!
Melinda finds old 'Clay Street' down there. Tessa lived and died there. The church is there too. A priest locked people inside to protect them but only had water and bread to feed them and the bread was bad, it caused the fever and the insanity so the priest set a fire killing everyone and himself too. Since Tessa had warned them that a ghost said the fever would come, they thought she was a witch (of course, it was 1840 or something). They took her away from her baby and locked her up in the church to stay with the ones 'she had killed'.
Melinda enters the church, talks to the ghosts, explaining that it was the bread and not bad magic, but the evil ghost threatens her (was it the priest?)  and she runs away because now the place is shaking.
Tessa's baby was actually Melinda's great-great-grandmother.
Jim won't stop until he finds her and she's saved.
At the end, Melissa's dad tells Gabriel to not kill her next time he asks his help with his sister, which seems ok, but then he adds that she'll have to join them when the time comes! Oh my, it seems dad and Gabriel are on the same side.. :(
 - How is it that whenever they cook, Melinda and Jim are always shown chopping vegetables? :-p
6- Double exposure
Rick Payne's date doesn't show up in pictures, so he goes to tell Melinda, and she investigates. This teacher, Claudia, Rick's date, had a little story with  a student, Kevin. He had a girlfriend, Sophie. She found out about them and was so hurt that she attempted suicide, sending him the message (how?? was it livestream??). He saw it and ran to her but died in a car crash, thinking that she was dead, but she wasn't. Melinda has Kevin talk to both Sophie and Claudia. Sophie forgives him and he crosses over.
Jim thinks about going to medical school, but ti would mean leaving Grandview. At the end, she tells him, "when you get into med school I'll be right there with you", but first he has to study.
Then she takes pictures of herself and sees behind her lots of spirits.
7- Unhappy medium
A man, Casey, says he can communicate with spirits and writes books about it. Melinda doesn't believe him. When he consults on an on-going case, she gets involved. A girl is missing, he says she's alive but Melinda finds out that she's not. They join forces and they find her body. Without him, how could she have explained to the cops how she found Sidney's body in the woods?
She was her mother's perfect girl and to keep up with the expectations Sidney started taking drugs to stay alive. Her sister Nikky wanted to help her and called her ex-boyfriend and tried on her the same way he got out of those drugs-addictions. They locked her in a cabin in the woods and took turns in caring for her. One day he unlocked her for a bath and she hit him and ran. She got lost, fell and died. She doesn't blame Nikky, she knows that she loved her and was trying to help her, and wants her mom to love Nikky as she loved her.
Melinda and Casey are no more enemies now, she tells him that he has a gift, although he's more of a profiler than a psychic, and also that he did help her... still, if he was in such good faith, really thinking that he could feel the girl was alive, then how come he pretended to see that she was with a man dressed exactly like Melinda had told him??
Anyway, in this ep she tells her secret to Sydney's mom and sister and of course to Casey. How come there is still someone who doesn't know?? Nobody talks to each other in that place? She keeps going around telling everyone!
8- Bad blood
A house is haunted :-p by two spirits: n1 the young wife who killed her old rich husband; n2 the son of that man, who was having an affair with his stepmother.
Everytime someone goes to live in that house, they try to control them. Now, a man and his daughter, full of guilt over his wife's death (but it was an accident, he let her fall to save their 15-y-o daughter) come to live right there, and almost kill each other because the spirits of Matt and Vivian told them to. When the wife/mother crosses over and Melinda explains about the mischievous couple, he knows that he can't sell the house knowing about them, so he opens the gas and blows up the house. The ghosts are still there, waiting... :-/
9- All ghosts lead to Grandview
Melinda and Jim are camping. They find a stray kid, Becca: she ran away and is scared. A ghost is terrifying her. She sees him too. Melinda tries to help her, teaching her how to deal with ghosts, how to help them cross over. Becca is scared, she doesn't want all this, plus her parents come to pick her up and she pretends that she just lied, she tells them that she's ok now and that she sees nothing strange really, so they won't try to lock her away. The ghost Daniel keeps going to her so she runs away again to help him. Melinda goes to her too in her basement and together they help him find his dead parents and all three cross over. Becca can finally prove to her parents that she can see ghosts.
At the end of the ep, Melinda meets Gabriel again and they talk a little.
10- Holiday spirit
It's Christmas, and the shop is actually full. A child buys a gift for his mom when a ghost makes his dad burn his hand. Melinda delivers the gift personally to have an excuse to poke around. It happens again and the ghost tells her "I want him to know what it's like to lose everything". The ghost says that he's Santa Claus and he's trying to help the kid, he wants the dad to pay attention to him. He separated from his wife because she cheated and he's not sure the kid is his son. Melinda understands Santa's letter was from William, not little Riley, and Santa is actually William's birth father. She helps them talk and make peace and be a family again.
The ghost does not cross over though because he likes being Santa Claus and he likes that kids can see him.
Melinda has her Christmas party. She was late at home so Jim brought the party to her at the shop.
11- Slam
Ned plays basket ( how he's grown up! ) and Delia and Melinda are at the game. He's sitting down, not playing, but weird things start happening. Melinda sees the ghost of Tomas, Lucy's brother, a girl Ned likes. Thomas had a fight over a girl and got pushed once against the blackboard, but he hit his head. Lucy was secretly writing to Krista, she liked her, but Thomas wanted to protect her from that and went in her place at the meeting and fought with Krista's bf over nothing. He went in her place because he was worried that, after knowing that she had been writing to a girl, Krista would have spread evil gossip and tried to protect her. At the end, before crossing over, Thomas makes sure that she's not blamed by the police or the school for what he did, and also makes her meet Krista after all. Lucy was right, she kind of knew it was her all along, hoped it was her..
Justin, the vlogger that some time ago stole Payne's files on Melinda goes to tell her that he knows that she sees ghosts. He tells her that he'll keep her secret but she owes him a favour now.. :-/
The scene with Melinda running away from the bats was a bit ridiculous :-/
12- First do no harm
There's a fire in the middle of the night so Jim is called to work. There's a guy trapped but they can't help him. Melinda sees his ghost and is afraid he might haunt Jim, but she meets his brother and tells him right away her 'secret' (... how many people do know about it by now? it's incredible there's still someone who doesn't know...)
She has it all mixed up, so sure the ghost was haunting Jim, so worried, she had a man pouring his heart out to a complete stranger ghost, then she found out this ghosts didn't die in the fire at all. This man Peter Harrison tells her a doctor, now passing for a nurse, killed him, because he was confused and didn't remember that he had asked for her help. She did it, eutanasia, because he had asked her, and there was nothing that could be done to heal him.
Jim is upset because she didn't tell him when she thought he was being haunted, but he loves her too much anyway. Jim is the one bringing peace to Joe, the brother of the man that died in the fire. Melinda tells Jim how important he is and how he makes the difference in everything he does every day. (Good, that's so true, he's so unreal than the I-see-ghosts-part )
13- Home but not alone
Ned has a girl, Lisa, but strange things happen. Melinda thinks it's the ghost of Lisa's dead father. Delia forbids Ned to see Lisa again but he does anyway. Melinda tries to help Lisa and her little brother, but their older sister pushes her away. Then Lisa tells Ned that her mom's gone for two days, went to meet a boyfriend and never came back, and she doesn't know what to do. They call the police. Young Henry tells Melinda that her dad was not abusive like gossiping people think, he was a good dad. They are all looking for her mom now and the sisters stage a phone call from her to make people believe she's fine. Melinda calls the police with an excuse to find mom's body buried in the garden. She had cancer, and it was her idea to hide her death, so they could stay together; the older sister has been doing her work, and pretending to be her, not having a life anymore, but now social workers will separate them. Melinda finds a sort of secret sister the kid's mother had. They hadn't seen each other for a long long time, but now she takes them in so they can stay together as a family :-)
