TV Recap: Medium: “No One to Watch Over Me” 4/25/2007

April 26, 2007 @ 6:23 pm

Filed under: TV Recaps, Television

The episode opened with a special statement from Patricia Arquette and Jake Weber. In light of the recent Virginia Tech tragedy, Medium decided not to air this episode last week. I felt this was very appropriate and considerate. Unfortunately, this was the best moment of this episode. Although the special effects in this episode were beautiful, the story was hard to follow and filled with plot conveniences. In fact, I’m concerned about the accuracy of this recap, as I had little idea what was going on, most of the time. I was very disappointed.

Allison awoke from her slumber, freezing. She pulled her blankets tighter around her and fell back to sleep. She dreamt her bedroom turned into a winter wonderland. Snowflakes danced to the ground around her, and she was in awe. Quickly the snow became more menacing, and the peaceful storm became a blizzard. With a start, Allison awoke and prepared for the rest of her day.

At the breakfast table, Ariel asked to go to summer camp with her friends. Joe and Allison agreed to consider her request.

Joe was unnerved about returning to work after the hostage situation, but he was received warmly by his boss and his fellow co-workers. Unable to face his demons, he locked himself in his office and played Solitaire.

Allison and Detective Scanlon’s assistance was requested to find a missing girl, Jennie Hefferman. Jennie was a responsible, college student who grew up in the foster system.

On her way home, Allison called Joe. She informed him that they could not afford Ariel’s summer camp. After her phone call, it started to snow again. It started softly at first, and then it became increasingly violent. She stopped her vehicle in a residential neighborhood, and the snow mysteriously ceased. All the neighborhood yards returned to Arizona desert, except one. Allison got out of the car and trudged through the snow to the front door. Her interest shifted to the open garage, where she happened upon a large freezer chest covered in snow. She lifted the lid and found the body of Jennie Hefferman, frozen in a block of ice. When the medical examiner arrived, she informed Allison and the DA that her investigation could not begin until the ice melted. If the body was warmed artificially, valuable evidence could be compromised.

That night Joe told Ariel that they could not afford to send her to camp. She became upset. She told him he had a stable job and everything would be fine. Joe became angry, as the hostage situation showed him that stability could disappear instantly. He later told Allison that he was tired of everyone knowing the future but him.

That night, Allison dreamt of Jennie’s murder. She saw the man’s face, and she believed Jennie had been killed in a storage shed. She awoke excited. She anxiously called Detective Scanlon, who admitted the killer had already been caught. The killer committed suicide and left a detailed suicide note explaining the murder.

Allison soon learned that the man accused of killing Jennie was not the man she had seen in her dreams.

That night Allison dreamt of Jennie rummaging through a storage shed, chanting “bulls eye.” Jennie walked to an archery kit labeled, “bulls eye,” and she found a stash of diamonds hidden within.

The next morning Allison visited Jennie’s apartment. She found a key to a storage shed. As she started to leave, she saw Jennie’s ghost. The “ghost” attacked her and ran off.

While Allison waited for her head to clear from the attack, Joe’s boss called. He was concerned that Joe had returned to work too soon. Joe had not attended any meetings or even logged into the company server. Joe’s boss recommended professional help, and Allison agreed.

With storage key in hand Allison, DA Devalos and Detective Scanlon investigated the storage shed. They learned the shed was owned by Peter Barbera, the father of Jennie’s alleged murderer. Peter was a known diamond thief, and at one time had been in a relationship with Jennie’s older sister, Hailey. Jennie lived briefly with Hailey after their mother abandoned them, but Hailey, suddenly, disappeared. We learned that after a successful diamond heist, Peter killed Hailey and hid her body in the freezer.

Years later, Jennie planned revenge. She befriended Peter’s son, poisoned him, took the storage shed key, stole the diamonds and moved the freezer with Hailey’s body. Jennie hoped everyone would mistake Hailey’s body for her own. She attempted to frame Peter’s son for her own murder, so she could escape to Mexico with the diamonds.

Unfortunately, Jennie didn’t know her sister had ingested the real diamonds, and the diamonds she carried were imposters. When she tried to sell the fakes in Mexico, she quickly learned of her mistake.

At home that night, Allison tried to encourage Joe to seek counseling. They soon drifted to off to sleep, and Allison dreamt that Joe was on the road to improvement.

Next week is to be a continuation of this week’s episode. Jason Priestly will guest star as a murderer. Hopefully, the plot will be easier to follow, and less “convenient.”
