Recap & Review: It seems that Jim and Melinda can never go on vacation without a ghost getting in the way. A few weeks ago, their romantic cruise was interrupted by a ship full of ghosts. In this week’s episode, the couple are going away to attend the wedding of a friend of Jim’s. However, a ghost immediately makes himself known once they are at the cabin. The ghost first approaches the little girl, the daughter of Jim’s friend. He begins to play a game of hide and seek as the little girl’s new imaginary friend.
Melinda doesn’t buy the imaginary bit though. She quickly sees that and she figures out it is a ghost. As she continues to research, she figures out it is the ghost of a little boy. He wants the woman to play a game with him and find out what the clues tell her. She isn’t too keen on the game though. The more clues she does find, the more things happen to her. However, Melinda pushes her forward to continue on to find what the clues mean. Even on the woman’s wedding day.
Melinda finds out the ghost is of a little boy that used to play with Tricia when she was a little girl. The little boy is adamant that she figures out the clues cause it will save her from some kind of danger. She finally figures them out with only moments remaining before she is to walk down the aisle. The man she is marrying is not truly the man she thinks he is. He has been lying to her since the two of them met, even about his own name. The wedding is called off, and Jim and Melinda start to help their friend clean up.
This isn’t where the episode ends and the little boy crosses over into the light. There is a lot more to this episode. In the process of cleaning up chairs and setting the cabin back to rights, Jim goes up alone to the woods. The man that had lied about everything is drunk and upset over losing his fiance. He pulls out a gun, but when he tries to shoot Jim he misses. Jim gets the gun away, but in an accident he is shot by an officer Melinda calls in.
He is taken to the hospital, and at first all seems well. He makes it through surgery, and Melinda is waiting on him to wake up. When she thinks he has, she is sadly mistaken. He has somehow passed on and he sits there to talk her through. Melinda has lost yet another important person in her life. Season one we saw her best friend pass on, and now it is her husband. Next week, it looks like she has to help him cross over. Something he doesn’t seem all that willing to do.
I think I watched the final moments of this week’s episodes three times, and it was just as powerful each and every time. There had been talk of Jim dying in November, but to see the writers behind the series once again have a major character die is hard. This could be the beginning of some dramatic changes for Ghost Whisperer. Changes that might put an end to the series. We’ll have to wait and see. What did you think of this week’s Ghost Whisperer? Were you shocked by the sudden death of another major character? For daily tv listings, check What’s Hot on TV .
