A second fire at a resturant and the anniversary of Jim and Melinda. Does it get any better than this?

8.3

There is a second fire at a resturant and a ghost is haunting it. It was also a flash back episode showing how Jim and Melinda got together. That little excursion into the land of love almost over shadowed the ghost that so needed Mel's help in getting peace so he could cross. The gift Melinda chooses for Jim is priceless. Jim, for the matter is more sneaky. When Mel found the umbrella because her first one was destroyed on their first date, it just melted my heart. A good way end my two days off and start my weekend. I can't live without my Friday night CBS shows! Oh, and Mel does cross the ghost over and that end of it was good too.moreless

lovely episode, Melinda in peril, Jim being a hero...

9.5

I really liked this episode. Being a total Jimel fan why wouldnt I?

I thought that having Melinda in trouble, seriously affected by a ghost, gave us a lot of character developement for the ghosts and told us a lot about the progression of this season so far as ghosts gaining power etc.

The anniversary of Jim and Melinda was really well covered. I thouhgt that the flashbacks were well linked in to the other action and the picture was sufficiently treated that it seemed to be a nightime memory.

Undeniably, my favourite part of the episode would have to have been at the very close when Jim said: 'dinner at the umbrella room'. I'm not ashamed to admit I was crying with Melinda.

As usual jlh and david conrad did a fab job of being the more perfect that perfect marriage everyone loves and the supporting fire story fitted really well. Jlh reaction when Jim got knocked down also sticks in my mind.

Only negative point, I thought that Warren's partner (dont know his name)was a bit dull and kinda dum, unexpected on a realtively smart show.moreless

I loved this episode - not only was the plot good, but the beautiful anniversary sequence between Mel and Jim was amazing. Almost perfect.

I have to say, when I sat down to watch this episode a few weeks ago, I remember thinking, "Ok, so it's to do with a restaurant fire. This is probably gonna be one of those great-but-predictable episodes." Oh how wrong I was! The great twist as far as the fire was concerned - and the arson - I think was very well thought out and planned. I didn't see it coming! The story line may not have developed the bigger plot much, but it certainly made for good T.V. Now, the real reason why I think this is almost-perfect, is because of the wonderful anniversary sub plot. I didn't see it coming, and honestly, when I saw what Jim had given her, I was so close to tears it's unbelievable. Absoloutly wonderful episode.moreless

Really good episode

By sportsbabe527, Oct 13, 2007

I loved this episdode. I though it was such a good idea for them to finally show us more about melinda and jim's relationship. I would personally love to know where their second date was and where Jim proposed. I love how he tricked her into thinking that he had forgotten their aniversery but really he knew all along. All in all i think that this was a really great episode and anyone who hasn't seen it really should. I also did like the storyline with the ghost who was on fire. I though that the first time you saw it it was pretty cool.moreless

I found my eyes watering as this episode ended.

9.8

I love watching Melinda Gordon's experiences as she helps out strangers reconnect with their deceased loved ones. This episode also touched on Melinda and Jim's past, how they met eachother. The two leads gave beautiful performances as usual, but I also loved the random ghosts that Melinda helped out. The ghost in the funeral home was just hilarious, and there were so many surprises when we realised which ones were ghosts. The story with Warren's death was certainly intriguing, and I was happy when the world didn't work out for every single character. But I was in tears when Warren finally revealed his love for his wife... so beautiful. And then more tears flooded when Jim gave Melinda her anniversary gift. Jennifer Love Hewitt continues to touch our hearts with her beautiful acting and beautiful teary eyes.moreless
