Storyline

Just now Melinda wants to concentrate on winning Jim 'Sam' back, Eli can't handle the mystery of Rebecca Kelly's ghost, which is obsessed with her former sorority's harsh hazing. The ghost seems bent on seeing a pledge die, but her past rather suggests motives to oppose the harm done by hazers.

User Reviews

Ghost in the hood

Except for the ongoing train wreck of a subplot involving Sam/Jim, this was a pretty decent episode. It involves a sorority tragedy, a missing student, and a hooded ghost who may not be who she appears to be. Melinda gets involved after the hooded ghost appears to her. The only interesting thing about the train wreck subplot is that Sam/Jim becomes aware that Melinda lies a lot. Hopefully, he will decide to leave town. Hopefully. The episode does a little COLD CASE plotting when Melinda goes to talk to a former student of the college who is now a member of AARP. Flashbacks to the woman's student days help Melinda unravel the mystery of the hooded ghost.
