SPOILER ALERT!
Ghost Whisperer - "Till Death Do Us Start"
I just have to say two things about this week's Ghost Whisperer. First, it was funny; and second, for perhaps the first time, I didn't see the ending twist coming. I was a little shocked.
The show starts with Aiden drawing a picture with people and water. Melinda is at the hospital telling Jim that Aiden doesn't want to be a doctor, when Eli's dad, Ray, comes in with his business partner's (Ann) daughter, Casey. Ray insists he is not having a heart attack and they wheel him down the hall as Eli comes into the hospital. Melinda spots Evelyn, Eli's dead mother, and we're off and running.
Evelyn begs Melinda to help Ray cross into the light. She doesn't want either Eli nor Ray to know that she's still hanging around. Evelyn believes it would be best for both Ray and Eli if Ray crosses over quickly. This is not an easy task she's handed Melinda. Ray and Eli have a contentious relationship at best and it doesn't improve after Ray dies.
We learn that Eli's father is the screen door king and he wanted his only son to follow him into the business. He wasn't happy with Eli becoming a “touchy-feely shrink.” We also learn that Aiden's picture is of Eli's family house at the lake. Evelyn died at the lake house of an aneurysm and Ray sold the house. We also learn that Eli and Casey were childhood friends and are a little more than attracted to each other in adulthood.
As the show progresses, we learn that Ray suspects that Evelyn had an affair with his business partner's husband, Don, before Casey and Eli were born. He believes that Casey and Eli are half-brother and sister. Ray had been spending his time, before his death, keeping Casey and Eli apart. Both learn that Ray had made up a serious girlfriend for Eli and didn't mention that Casey broke up with her pilot boyfriend. Eli, after learning of the affair, begins to believe that he and Casey could be related as well and he begins to avoid her.
