SPOILERS AHEAD

Ghost Whisperer - "See No Evil"

When I saw the previews for this week's Ghost Whisperer, I thought it looked a little weird. The premise was that people on campus were receiving a chain email. When the chain is broken, something happens to the chain breaker and a loved one.

The episode starts with Melinda and Jim discovering that they have a free night. Aiden's asleep, the dishes are done, the laundry's folded, and Jim doesn't have to work at the hospital. A little romance is in order and they get right to it and that's when the scene switches to Ned and his girlfriend Brianna,  whom we've never seen before, making out in her college dorm. Can I say right now that I've been in college dorms and they were never that large? I don't know anyone who has been in a dorm that large. His girlfriend gets up to double check something, turns on the light and lets out a blood-curling scream.

Melinda, oblivious to Ned's predicament, has a dream/vision. A man and a woman dressed in black sew her eyes shut. She screams and the credits play.

The next morning, Melinda is telling Jim how she could feel the rusty needle. They're interrupted by Aiden. After declaring that he wants milk for breakfast, he asks if Ned's okay. Seems that the little five-year-old empath has another skill — human caller ID. He knew that Ned had called that morning and wanted to speak with Melinda, even though the phone was on vibrate and he had been sound asleep when the call came in. It was at this point I felt just a little sorry for Jim. Like Joe on Medium, he is the only member of his family who doesn't have visions or see ghosts. I can only imagine what that must feel like to have everyone else in the family have a gift and you don't.

Ned's voicemail sends Melinda to the college where she sees Brianna's dorm room in a mess. Brianna tells Melinda that it must be her dead friend, Gwen, that hung her doll up. Ned shows Melinda the strange chain letter and we're off and running.

During the course of the show, Ned breaks the chain and both he and Delia end up hurt. It seemed a little gimmicky. Melanie is left trying to convince a dead Gwen that breaking the chain did not cause the accident that left her mother in a coma.

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.
