Medium would have been a great TV series if Allison had no kids. Her husband is pretty useless too, but at least she has him around when she wakes up after a dream. I always wonder what kind of a zero would stay in bed on the many occasions when Allison is going out to visit a crime scene at 3 a.m.
The middle kid is usually the nasty bag of unpleasant remarks and bad attitude. This time it is the other two kids that create the dumb moments of crazy. Little Marie, with her gigantic bottle glasses sees a guy running by her porch door in the middle of the night. He is a killer.
Mommy Allison dreamed it all too, so Marie and Mommy know who the killer is. Problem is that the new alarm system is talking to the little spazzoid. The alarm system tells her where to pick up the gun, and to wipe it clean. Now your kid has to be a big part vegetable if she takes orders from an alarm system. Even worse, Marie lies about it to her Mom and Dad.
So thanks to Marie, the killer gets away with it. He is their neighbor, and he was hired to kill the other neighbor in order to pull off an insurance scam by the terminally ill victim. Does that make it better? The lazy ending tries to wrap it up like a positive.
Meanwhile puffy-faced Ariel is going to an interview to try to get into a top college. Like any child of Allison, she manages to create drama and disaster after "nailing" the interview.
Instead of being overjoyed that she got into the college that she wanted, Ariel uses her insider ghost information to meddle in the life of the ghost and his wife, the lawyer who interviewed her.
Ariel finds out that the lawyer's husband was cheating on her before he died. So Ariel discloses a file with pictures that was in the lawyer's laptop, so she will find out her dead husband had cheated. Why? Because she is a dysfunctional and defective drama queen.
Nobody ends up happy, and Ariel gets drummed out of the school. The lawyer correctly points out that what Ariel did was no normal, and it just hurt several people for nothing. The good news is that Ariel should be going to Nail Salon Academy, but in another episode it is claimed she is going to Dartmouth, which is highly unlikely.
