Continued from the previous episode, Melinda bursts in to Tom Gordon’s hotel room, where it appears that he has attempted to take his own life. Tom is rushed to the hospital in critical condition, but survives. Melinda, still working under the assumption that Paul Eastman is seeking revenge for being wrongly convicted of murder, figures that Tom had been possessed by Paul during the suicide attempt. However, when she confronts Paul and asks him to leave Tom alone, Paul leads Melinda to his own body, which is buried in the house Melinda grew up in. This leads to even more questions about Tom’s involvement with Paul and as Melinda peels away the layers of lies Tom has told her she finally learns the horrible truth. It turns out that Melinda’s mother had been madly in love and engaged to Paul when he was accused of murder, which was how she met Tom. After Paul was convicted, she explained to Tom that she and Paul could see ghosts, and that’s how he had found the little boys body. Tom, who turns out to be a total sociopath, promised to help get Paul out of prison, but secretly did nothing to help Paul so he could endear himself to Melinda’s mother and eventually marry her. When Paul finally escaped and confronted Tom at his house, Tom killed him and buried him in his basement. Topping it all off, Melinda discovers that Tom isn’t even her father, but that Paul Eastman is.

Melinda finally reunites with her father, Tom Gordon, after a long search and under suspicious circumstances. While searching for him she discovered he was a prosecutor in Grandview before he disappeared, and a spirit led her to a case he had prosecuted that involved the murder of a young boy, Michael. Tom had convicted the man who found the body, Paul Eastman, of the murder, sending him to prison where he escaped during a fire. However, before finding out that her father was in town, Melinda, led by clues left by the mysterious spirit, had approached Michael’s family hoping to get information from them about her dad. When she met with Michael’s mother she discovered that his ghost was still living with her, and that she was well aware of it. Melinda tries to convince Michael to go in to the light, but Mother and son are happy with the way things are. Melinda then discovers that Michael wasn’t murdered at all, that he had died after falling from a tree. After confronting Michael about it, he tells Melinda that Paul had found his body because Paul was also a ghost whisperer. Michael had told him where to search, and because of that Paul went to prison an innocent man. Knowing her father has been on the run for a long time, Melinda then assumes that he was running from Paul, who was hunting him to seek revenge. After getting Michael to cross over, Melinda rushes to find her father to warn him about Paul, but when she gets to his hotel it appears that she’s too late. To be continued…

Professor Payne asks Melinda to set up a family friend, Kylie Sloan, with a job, as she’s been struggling to pay her way at Rockland University since losing some scholarships. Payne thinks she’s been having problems at school because she’s haunted, which is another reason he wants Kylie and Melinda to work together. They quickly learn that she is indeed haunted, and they initially suspect the ghost is her brilliant, scholarly father. That theory gives way when they discover that Kylie is being haunted in a similar fashion to several horror movies, making them think the ghost is a horror film fan. They later find out that Kylie was actually working on a horror film with a young man, Toby Bates, who had died while setting up a scene for their movie. Kylie had missed that day of filming and blamed herself for his death, but Toby’s ghost didn’t feel that way at all. All he wanted was for her to finish the film they were working on, and to follow her passion for horror movies.
