Medium: Bad Alison!
Medium is definitely going to the dark side in these later seasons, but I’m still tuning in. Oddly enough it’s one of the few NBC shows not going down in the ratings for them. Maybe they should give it a full year instead of a half season like they have been.
The main story in this one was about a woman (Blythe Danner) whose daughter went missing. The woman and her husband (a councilmen or something) were friends of the DA’s, so they brought in Devolas, who brought in Alison and Lee. Of course Alison began having dreams. As it turned out the missing daughter was a real piece of work. Long story short, the daughter was a nurse who killed the woman whose daughter (heart transplant list patient) she was taking care of. She married the husband and then started poisoning the kid. The mother (Blythe) found out and killed her! Alison confronted her, she explained she was saving not only the little girl, whom she had come to love, but this way her daughter just disappeared and nobody knew any wiser. Nobody had to know what she was doing, so her reputation was in tact. Alison faced a moral dilemma . . . . and didn’t turn the woman in! This was a huge departure from the norm, when the bad guys got away or Alison couldn’t prove anything. She knew where the body was, in their brand new swimming pool, but she kept her mouth shut in the end. The granddaughter got a happy ending as well, a heart for her was found.
Alison’s hubby Joe apparently developed a case of narcolepsy. He kept falling asleep, he decided based on doctor’s advice to sleep alone to see if not being woken every 2 hours would help. While it seemed to work, he still was falling asleep randomly. This was never really solved, aside from his doctor suggesting he try naps. I have a bad feeling this will come back to haunt Joe at some point, no pun intended. Don’t kill Joe please! Jim on “Ghost Whisperer” is bad enough.
The final story dealt with Lee. Lee and his “secret” relationship with Lynn was in jeopardy. Lynn was knocked up! Clearly put in because the actress was pregnant. However Lee was panicking, be a typical man. He was avoiding talking to her, sneaking out in the morning or coming home late at night. I don’t think they are even living together, and wherever Lee is staying is a rat hole from the looks. Well Devalos was having a party and invited them both, separately. Lynn agreed to go, Lee was on the fence. He felt if they showed up together . . . well what would it say? In the end Lee did show up, at the last minute, and held Lynn’s hand! He apologized for being an ass as well, suggesting they have the talks that he had been ignoring. Aw, LOVE THEM! I hope we get to see a little more of them this season.
