Medium Season Finale
So this past Monday was the season finale of “Medium.” Alas there will be no more dreams and psychic visions until next February when the show begins airing again. The season finale wrapped up several stories nicely, but for once there was no cliff hanger.
Alison was hired by a lawyer to try and prove that his house wasn’t haunted, as his wife was convinced she was hearing a baby crying. Alison didn’t feel anything, but later had a dream that a woman drowned her child in the house. A quick search confirmed it, and the lawyer admitted he knew, but only after they bought the house. He had sunk so much money into it, he couldn’t afford to move and he knew the wife would want to. After the wife found out the truth, she killed herself in the tub the kid drowned in. Worse yet, a note was left by the wife in Alison’s mailbox saying if anything happened to her, she did not take her own life and her husband should be considered a suspect. Uh oh! More dreams from Alison cracked this case though. As it turned out, there was another child in the house who saw the mother drown her baby son . . . a little girl. You can see where this one is going! Yes the little girl was the wife all grown up. Worse yet, the little girl and her brother were products of an affair and their father . . . .was also the husband’s father! In case that was too confusing, the wife knowingly married her half-brother! The father of them both didn’t realize his daughter-in-law was also his daughter at first, as he hadn’t seen her since she was a little girl. Eventually he realized it, but he didn’t say anything. Ew! So the daughter basically set everything up as some sick punishment for her father and her father’s family. Double Ew! Can I just ask what is with all my shows exploring the brother-sister love theme lately? It’s very creepy.
Meanwhile the new/temporary DA got the news he was dying. He decided to spend what time he had left with his family, and he and the mayor decided to ask Manuel back. He accepted, and Alison was also hired back. Finally! I have to say while the season has been good, Manuel’s absence has been noted and felt. I feel bad though, I wanted the new DA VanDyke gone, but not like this. I was convinced they’d bust him on corruption or something.
Finally Joe, convinced his partner was insane, decided to dissolve the business. She was more than happy to let him go and buy him out for 250,000 dollars. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize she had a plan all along, so Joe should have refused right there. He didn’t though, as they could use that money. Oh she had a plan all right . . . .she played him like a fiddle. She wanted his idea as she knew she could sell it to a competing company who was developing similar technology. Once she had him in the company, she made him think she was nuts so he’d want out. In the end though the man who bought the invention from her (for 2 million dollars!) liked Joe’s better than what he’s been working on, so he hired Joe for his company to keep developing it. Yay for Joe!
So that is the season finale of “Medium” in a nutshell. No shocking cliff hanger, which is what I was expecting. Fortunately the show will be back next season, but it will be a long wait.
