"Last Execution" concerns a man hanged for killing a romantic rival. The man happened to be a great artist, and there is a conflict over ownership of his paintings. His spirit has returned to set things right. Scarier than usual, this episode features the ghost as the hanged man, black hood and noose in place. He manages to scare Melinda and the viewers alike. Saige Thomson plays the man's daughter, a starving art student in possession of a single painting by her father while familiar TV actor Scott Paulin is the dead man's lawyer, who is in the process of shipping the bulk of her dad's paintings out of state. The ending is a pleasant surprise, but we have to contend with a ghost that can physically possess others, a rarity on this show.moreless

This episode was the episode that scared me the most. I will never never never ever wash my hair in a sink because of what happened to Melinda even though it was just a ghost doing it. Melinda was really scared by this ghost to and i understand how she is imagine having someone being hanged in front of you over and over again. That was crazy when Melinda was being hanged een though it was just like a dream kind of thing what ever you call them. I also can't believe that women was sueing Jim and saying that he hurt her more but I am glad they caught her.moreless

The Last Execution centers on an artist ghost and his daughter that is finding trouble around the world, especially when she struggles to be a painter. Melinda hopes to help the father cross over and to help the young girl through her struglle to break into the art industry and her hardships when it comes to money. With only the obstacles of disbelief and the father's old friend in the way, Melinda hopes to help the family through their problems.

The thing about The Last Execution is that it has a very simple story. There were no twists and turns to be found, but it still gets you hooked! Great episode!moreless

"Perfect"

By Blackberry_Girl, Mar 06, 2007

This was one of the best episodes. It was full of excitement and it kept me hooked the entire time. I really liked the plot for this episode, it was very good. And I must say I screamed at least three times while watching this episode, and cried a little too. It was that good. The ghost was very interesting and I liked how Melinda got to go through the same experiances that the ghost did. And it was a good twist that he couldn't take of the mask until his daughter got the message, not going to say what it is because I don't want to give anything away. Once again a very good episode, I loved it!moreless
