So this week on “Ghost Whisperer” a young woman was haunting Melinda, a friend, and the whole town of Grandview via an email chain letter that promised death if it wasn’t forwarded. The girl and her mom were in a serious car accident, with the mom barely hanging on and the girl dying. She was convinced it was because she didn’t forward the letter, which came from someone named Scarlett Stitch, a doll with it’s mouth and eyes stitched up basically. She was haunting everyone trying to get them to forward the email and keep it going, otherwise they too would die.

Melinda kept having dreams as if her mouth and eyes had been stitched up. She even woke to a weird ghost couple trying to stitch her up. Jim and Melinda worked together and realized the mom simply had a stroke from a brain tumor, that caused the car accident, not the email. Melinda, Ned and Eli tracked the email down to a little girl in the hospital. She had cancer and had lived there her whole life. She basically lived in a quarantined room as her immune system was so compromised. She had the doll with her from the email, and Melinda couldn’t understand how she could start something like this given she was only 7. At the end of the show we saw her talking to a ghost, a woman who really had been stitched up. The ghost was using the little girl to get revenge on someone it seemed . . .

My Thoughts
So my first thought in watching this show was I swore they had already done a chain letter story :-\

By the end of the show I was thinking they had possibly set up a Halloween episode for later down the road. I couldn’t think of anything creepier to do on Halloween, and that Scarlett girl was creepy (and oddly reminded me of Wynona Rider).

Based on this episode, the previews for next week, and the spoiler release for the week after . . . well it seems they are setting up the hospital as the major haunting ground this season. I guess it makes sense with Sam/Jim being a doctor now, and it is a way they can use the actor a lot more.

I do hope they somehow connect the hospital to the spirits under Grandview. I mean I don’t think that story ever even resolved as it was still going on last season when Sam remembered he was Jim.
