Recap & Review: What could be more perfect for Halloween night than a ghost story. Ghost Whisperer is airing on the perfect night, and from the previews to this episode we have one angry ghost for Melinda to cross over. This week’s episode starts with a teenage girl dying suddenly. Melinda has her own issues to deal with those as she tries to find out if she is in fact pregnant. Her and Jim have been trying to have a by. We learn that she did get pregnant, but the baby didn’t survive. While Melinda is still at the hospital, the teenage girl is brought in with her friends. Ned is among those at the hospital. Parents arrive on scene just seconds before time is death is called. The teenager, Diana, looks about ready to move on, but she quickly follows the other teenage girl, Olivia, and her mother out of the hospital.
Melinda tells Delia about Diana, and the girl seems to start haunting Olivia at her home. There is an incident with her computer and the power going out. Something tells me Diana is not too happy with Olivia. The two used to be friends when they were younger. The mothers of the two also used to be best friends. But something happened between the families. My guess is some type of affair. Melinda thinks that Diana and Olivia are sisters connected by the same father. At home, Olivia is with her father when she once again hears noises. The two of them go upstairs to investigate the attic, and a trunk comes crashing down. When her father tries to go upstairs again, he is met with a scream and a door slammed in his face.
The ghost isn’t only after the family, but the woman doctor that called her time of death. The woman is attacked by the spirit at the hospital. Melinda has Jim sneak her into the hospital records to find out why Diana is doing all of this. She does find some errors in the hospital records that bring another thought to her mind. The two girls had been switched at birth. This was something I had considered from the start of the episode. Diana is determined to make sure no one finds out about the baby switch. Melinda goes to the nurse, and she tells her to confess.
The nurse tells her she isn’t the one that made the error. Another nurse was bathing the babies when she accidentally switched the babies. Melinda then decides to go to Diana’s mother to tell her about the baby switch. However, Diana’s mother knew about the switch the whole time. The more Diana’s mother says, the angrier Diana becomes, and in retaliation she decides to go after Olivia. Diana gets there first, and she leads Olivia to a box in her parent’s bedroom. Olivia learns the truth by reading through the letters in the box. Olivia then runs off. Diana does lead the other women to her though. The woman and the teenagers are work through their issues before Diana crosses over.
An episode of Ghost Whisperer has not brought me to tears in a long time, but this one did it. It had some scary moments perfect for Halloween night, and it was full of touching moments that make this show great. They also mixed in Melinda’s own desire to be a mother and her troubles conceiving as well. This was definitely one of the best episodes of this series in quite some time.
