Medium Sets Up An Arc
So this most recent episode of “Medium” was fairly interesting I thought. James VanDerBeek guest starred as a man who had an odd relationship with his sister, and whose very wealthy mother had just died. Allison kept having odd dreams about him killing his sister with his old girlfriend, but the sister was very much alive. Then came the info that the fingerprints at the crime scene of the mother were the old girlfriends. Well it didn’t take long to figure out what was going on, thought it took Allison a bit longer.
James’ character killed his sister and the girlfriend helped cover it up. She was heading to the airport to leave the country, James was to follow her. However she got into an accident, and because she was in the sister’s car, they assumed she was the sister. Her face was badly damaged and would require plastic surgery. They cooked up a scheme to have her take the dead sister’s place, as the mother loved the sister and was going to cut the son out of the will.
Well fast forward to the mother, who begins having kidney issues and needs a donation. The “sister” couldn’t donate or she’d be found out, so she and James killed the mother. They almost got away with it, were it not for Allison.
I have to say the whole idea of having your girlfriend look like your dead sister is just gross! Every time you kissed, every time you . . . yuck! That’s an image you don’t want in your head!
The best part about this episode is Ariel disobeyed her parents and snuck off to a ski trip with friends, leading a “To Be Continued” at the end. It looks like the show is setting up some connected storylines. Allison soon gets a stalker terrorizing her and her family. I always love the “Medium” episodes that connect and flow into each other as storywise they are always the best ones.
