Ghost Whisperer: Going Greek
This week’s episode of “Ghost Whisperer” I really enjoyed, well I enjoyed the ghost story part of it at least. The story involved a group of sorority girls having a hazing ritual for new pledges, one of which who ended up going missing. The missing girl was the sister of one of the current members.
Of course a ghost showed up, looking like the pledges did when they were being hazed in the woods the night before (in a nightgown and a burlap sack over her head), and she was blaming the sister for her being missing. Melinda and Eli thought it was the missing girl at first, but the plot thickened! It was the ghost of a sorority member who died in the woods decades ago. She was trying to stop the hazing, and decided the only way to stop was to let the girl who had gone missing die. She was still alive, but the ghost wanted her to die so the others would get in trouble.
Melinda convinced her that was wrong, and in the end the ghost led her to the missing girl. The ghost saw she was wrong about these two, they did care for one another. The one who was a member actually tried to make it easy on her sister, to help her cheat, but her sister refused and wanted to do it the hard way. In the end, everyone realized how stupid the hazing ritual was, and the ghost moved on.
I liked that the ghost story had a twist, that the ghost wasn’t who we originally thought it to be. That was good, very unexpected 🙂 I’m always happy when I’m not able to predict the outcome or solve the mystery.
What I of course didn’t enjoy that much in this episode was the Sam/Jim/Melinda stuff. There wasn’t much there, but basically Sam/Jim was becoming suspicious of Melinda. He knew she was at the scene when the missing girl was found, he saw it on TV (unbeknown to Melinda that someone filmed it and sent it to the news). She however denied she was there. He was left puzzled by this lie.
What annoys me more than anything about the recent episodes is the need to show us Sam’s face in some kind of mirror at some point. We get that he’s Jim in Sam’s body! None of us will ever forget that the show decided to kill off our Jim 🙂 We don’t need to be shown Sam in every episode as a reminder.
Did anyone else reconize Rachel the ghost?? I thought she looked so familar that I went back to look at the begining credits and saw the name Andrea Bowen. Then I couldn’t place her, so of course I looked her up and she played Juile from DH

I am kinda bugged by the fact that they always have to show Sam, too. I’m kind of starting to accept the new relationship Melinda is having, and actually accepting David Conrad as Sam, but it doesn’t help that they keep reminding me it’s all messed up!

When they show Sam in the mirror and also David conrad jim, i think about the old scfi series Quantum leap where Sam bekett Scott bacula leaping in and out of people!!! it was a great series which also starred Dean Stockwell as Al, i was sooo sad when that series Ended!!
Sam never returned home but in the End helped Al reclaim his family wife and kids in the final ep mirror Image!!

It’s shown on one of the girly channels in reruns still 🙂 I think Oxygen, maybe Hallmark? I see it every now and then when I’m flipping. Or maybe it’s on Retroplex lol.
