Melinda discovers Julia, the girl who was living in the hospital dying from leukemia, hiding in Aiden’s closet, now a ghost. Suspicious of her, Melinda demands that Julia leave and she can help her crossover. But Julia refuses, only wanting to talk to Aiden. She threatens Melinda fearfully with “You don’t know who you’re dealing with.” Melinda and Jim talk to Julia’s parents, to find out more about her. They say she pushed them away in the end but she kept a lot of journals. They promised to look through them to see if there’s something helpful in there to help her crossover. That night, Melinda has a terrible vision she poisons Aiden and when she goes to his room, she discovers he’s not there. Frantic, Melinda and Jim start a search party for their 5-year-old taken by a little girl ghost. Julia takes Aiden into the woods to a long-abandoned train museum/playground. Julia is nervous and frightened and just wants to be in a safe place. The “Shadows” begin to close in on her but Aiden saves her by using his flashlight to chase the Shadows away. Meanwhile, Julia’s parents reveal, from the journals, that Julia blamed herself for the death of her friend, believing she caused it by giving her a “potion” she concocted, trying to make her better. Melinda and Jim catch up to Aiend and Julia. She reunites Julia with her parents and Julia discovers she had nothing to do with her friend’s death - her friend, sadly, was sicker than her parents ever let on.

Jim is devastated when a female teenage patient of his dies unexpectedly during a simple surgery. When he and the senior attending, Dr. Morgan, seem to get haunted after the procedure, Jim is sure it’s his patient. Melinda discovers through a vision its actually Tina Clark, a medical school classmate of Jim’s and Dr. Morgan’s old TA. In her vision, Melinda got the impression that they were having an affair and the newspapers have reported her missing. When Jim tries to ask Dr. Morgan about her, Dr. Morgan clams up. Through a dream, Melinda discovers Tina worked as a stripper to make money to help her through medical school. When she and Jim question one of the strippers, they discover that Tina was seen with President Bedford, the president of Rockland U. According to Dr. Morgan, who finally admits to his relationship with Tina but having no idea what happened to her, President Bedford was the only one who knew about their affair and encouraged Morgan to break it off and not jeopardize his chance at the presidency for Rockland. Tina ran away but news of their relationship camp out and Bedford replaced Morgan as the top candidate for the job. When Eli confronts Bedford, already angry and sick of the way Bedford has always abusively treated him, Bedford admits to his attitude toward Eli all being an act. He’d been trying to protect him and Melinda from the Shadows who are really pulling the strings with the series of events. Melinda gets increasingly worried about these so-called all powerful Shadows as she can feel them but can’t see them or hear them. She suddenly feels helpless and concerned about their power as even The Book of Changes erased all mention of them in fear.
