Write a Recap »A ghost appears to Melinda in form of EVP... hide show
Melinda and Jim's car is stolen by a troubled teenager boy whose mother died in an accident in the woods. He feels that his mother betrayed him when she was alive and can't forgive her, because she was having an affair with a friend of hers. Melinda must help him understand what his mother wants to help him confess to his father that he is gay and encourage him to continue writing, since he is so good at it. His mother was an electrical engineer who died via electrocution and can only communicate by EVP (Electric Voice Phenomenon). This is the first time that a ghost can make Melinda sick, because of the so many voices that "talk" through the white noise (EVP).
A very different ghost hide show
Melinda deals with a ghost that travels through electronic devices in this episode. It sounds corny, but the writers and producers actually made the episode work. The ghost was a woman who was cheating on her husband with another man. The person she hoped to fix things up with was her son, who was lost and couldn't find his way since his mother's death. I liked the bond between them and how by one act the whole relationship fell apart. I'm just disappointed they couldn't think of a more unique ending, if they had managed to do that this episode would have been perfect.
Meanwhile, Melinda also deals with her husband's obsession with his mom's new boyfriend.
Absolutely beautiful. A mother's love for her son that has to be sent through Melinda is very original. hide show
There are no words to describe how beautiful and wonderful this show is. Our beautiful angel Melinda does it once again. This time the ghost of a distraught guilt-ridden mother, trying to reach her trouble and closeted homo-sexual son to tell him that she does love him and that because of keeping a secret from him that he had to stop hurting himself. Only Melinda can give him that message. I thought that the subplot of Jim's Mother dating a new man was kind of shakey but it too was still very good. I just couldn't find the reason why Jim would suspect this man. That's all that was truly wrong with the episode. Other than that this episode was a touching and warm-hearted episode that mother's and children should watch together. Truly triumphant.
Melinda helps a ghostly mom reconnect with her son, and helps the boy reconnect with his father. hide show
The episode begins after an evening out, Melinda & Jim's car gets stolen. The cops are able to apprehend the culprit a few miles away, and it appears to be a teenage boy, whose father arrives on the scene and pleads with the Gordon's not press charges and he will pay for the damages.
After getting back their car they hear extremely high static on their radio, and a woman can be heard screaming in the distance, and the noise appears to be affecting Melinda greatly. It turns out to be a ghost who is trying to connect with her through EVP.
Lacy was eletrocuted when she was running in the woods with her lover, and when her son found out he lost his faith in her, himself and his talent for writing.
He wrote a short story called the Red Glove, which is about a boy who is afraid to tell his father that he is gay. It appears that the mother knew, and encouraged him to tell his father through his writing.
As usual Melinda is able to get through to Kirk, and he has a tearful good bye with his mother and his father is giving the story by Melinda.
During this time Jim's mother is paying them a visit with a new boyfriend who Jim distrust immediatley, but his doubts are soon put to rest when he gets to know Ellis a little bit better.
Overall, this episode was very dull, and once again, I'm concern for the show's future.
A bit dark, a bit light and a decent Episode. hide show
I like this Episode it has that darkish feeling to it along with a bit of lightness that goes cleverly well with the Plot. The Effects were also cool cause the ghost appeared in a different form than it normally does but it could have down without her falling into the well and than the ghost getting up like nothing happened would have liked it better if they just left out the ghost part and let the guy find out she was died would have had a much better impression.
I really like that this Episode also had some Character developement for Melinda and Jim and also having his mother their made it perfect cause it showed that he is a protective son that only wants whats good for her.
Again all of the Main Cast did a good job cause everything just balance out for a perfect Episode along with the Guest-Stars.
