    8/10
    Poltergeisting all over the place
    Give DEMON CHILD credit for lots of poltergeist spunkiness, as a young boy's spirit appears to have it in for his mom and her infant daughter. I figured out what was going on in about 10 minutes, but I will leave it to you to dope it out for yourself. The kid playing the mischievous apparition is quite believable, and a lot of roughhousing goes on in this episode, including people getting knocked down stairs and the baby girl momentarily "disappearing" from her crib. The ending is one of the biggest tearjerkers this show has come up with, so be prepared with the facial tissue. Lori Laughlin, formerly of FULL HOUSE, is the harried and harassed mom.
