TV Recaps: Ghost Whisperer - “Do Over”/Medium - “The Medium is the Message”

Part of: The Ladies of Friday Night

SPOILER ALERT

Ghost Whisperer - “Do Over”

Two kids decide that a fun thing to do on a boring night is to break into the morgue and see if they can spend 15 minutes inside one of the freezers. This results in one boy seeing a ghost, which would've scared me. They are convinced that the morgue is haunted. A haunted hospital morgue? I would have never suspected it. To top off the haunted morgue, the hospital is clearing out surgical equipment from the 1950s. Jim brings home an old clamp. He shows it to Aiden, who has a vision of a doctor ready for surgery.

After a morgue attendant experiences a haunting, Jim brings Melinda to the morgue. While she's trying to contact the ghost, a corpse picks up a scalpel and tries to attack them both. Melinda begins seeing a vision at 9:15 every night of a doctor and a nurse before surgery. Each night, she follows them from her kitchen into her dining room, where the surgery moves further and further along. Finally, Melinda has the vision while Jim is there. She describes the room and the equipment to him. The patient dies on the table, because of a mistake the doctor made.

Eli is sick, so Jim visits him at home. It turns out that Eli just has laryngitis, but he has more than that. He has his mother, Evelyn, visiting him. She's keeping a close eye on her ill son and hovering over him like only a dead mother can. Eli tells Jim that the clamp he is carrying has a very angry ghost attached to it.

Jim hunts through the hospital files. He finds out that the doctor that performed the surgery in Melinda's visions died the same day. But he was interrupted by his own haunting before he can discover the name of the patient. Melinda has the vision again and this time she checks the name tag on the patient's wrist.

Let's take a break and look in on Delia, because this was truly the highlight of the show.

The side story of Delia's dating life was a good one. Delia goes out on a date with a lawyer named Roger. Things seem to be going good until the maitre'd spells a red wine on Delia's very white blouse. Roger goes ballistic on the guy. This causes Delia to decide that Roger is not the one for her.

I have been writing ever since I can remember. I recently came across as a short story I wrote as a child. It was horrible. I'm hope that my writing has improved in the thirty years since.
