    This episode was a really good one. I didn't think there would ever be a person with the same abilities as Melinda. None the less in Grandview. I thought it was good to see the girl from the plane again. Im glad that she now wants to go in the light. I felt bad for Rick. I really thought he would forgive his wife so that she could cross over. I didn't think that she would go with the others who haven't crossed over. I reallly want to know what's going to happen to all the living people. I want to see if Melinda can save them or what. I really want to know who is going to be hurt or pretty near killed due to the 5 signs of death. I like how Delia is now becoming more interested in Melinda's ability. She completley changed from telling Melinda that she needed help to asking her all these questions about what she does with ghosts. Im glad that she came back to work with Mel though. Anyhow this was a really goood episode and I can't wait till next Friday!!!moreless

    OMG loved it! from when we first met kate (paynes wife) i though she was dead!! and she is, and i thought payne would forgive her so she would cross over! now shes gonna do something i just know it but now im quiet scared about which loved one will die cause the 5 signs have came ! and i really don't like gabrile! i hope something happens to him, i really do. somehow i do not think that the air steward crossed over , so i don't know about her tbh. also i really want to know what happened to the wide brim and the laughing man! and was the the ghost guy in the house that was bleeding the man with the bleeding hands??? so many questions and only 2 episods of the season left??? and i don't they all will be answered! Also at the house when you saw all the other ghosts who didn't cross over you start to name them, i.e randy and the bleeding hand guy.moreless

    I love this show too as it is a feel good show and that hopefully it will remain on the CBS schedule for years to come as it has great storylines and acting. Melinda sees a person who has the same time of abilities as her. But that person wants to do harm rather than good. As that is the only difference between the two. Keep up the good work!

    Another great episode of the series and evidence of why so many people are hooked on it every Friday night.
    Melinda encounters a young man, named Gabriel, who can also see the dead. At first thrilled to no longer be the only one with her gift, she eventually discovers that Gabriel isn't using his abilities to help those lost souls. He's collecting them. He's discovered that the more souls who block the way into the light and remain here on earth, the greater power the dead have in our world. It's his desire, and we learn the desire of others around the world, to harness that power. To help the dead rule the earth.
    Seriously spooky stuff!moreless

    This episode was so powerful episode. i can't believe there is another Ghost Whisperer in town but he is evil! I also can't believe What Kate Payne did to her husband Rick Payne I mean that was so sad and when Melinda was reading it out loud it made me more sad for Rick Payne and I totally wouldn't have guessed that that was going to happen. I knew that Kate Payne was dead because I saw on some forums that other people thought she was dead and then I started to think maybe she is dead. I so can't wait tell the next episode!moreless
