Ghostly Happenings

Last evening a new episode of Ghost Whisperer was on CBS.  I’ve been following it and was “cautiously optimistic” about Jim remembering his past.  While the episode was pretty good, I was a little disappointed.  I expected that he would get a glimpse of his past life somehow and remember Melinda, but all that happened was he knew how to treat someone who was injured.

The episode itself, aside from my disappointment with Jim, was pretty good- and creepy as far as that goes.  This particular episode was about a ghost kid who had been injured while horsing around on a lawn mower.  For anyone that follows the news, these types of accidents are all too common- expecially when two people ride them at once (think parent with a child on their lap- how dumb can you get?!).  The ghost in this episode was chopped up pretty well after he fell off a riding lawn mower and was run over by his older brother.  Yuck.

The older brother, eaten up by guilt, eventually tries to kill himself by jumping off of the roof of his two-story house.  This is where Jim comes in- he “remembers” how to keep the kid from damaging the nerves in his arm and creates a field splint for the arm with a stack of magazines and a towel.  Pretty nifty, and he thinks he learned this by watching television.  Melinda then asks Jim if he is starting to remember things, he replies that he thinks so.  Unfortunately, instead of turning to Melinda for help, he heads straight for the house of his fiance.

Will these star-crossed lovers ever hook up again?  Stay tuned for next week- it should be interesting with Melinda tagging along on Jim’s trip to visit his fiance.
