Melinda’s husband, Jim, was killed in an automobile accident. She “sees” him enter the body of another victim, who is pronounced dead, and then comes back to life. When the victim, Sam, regains consciousness, he has no memory.

Melinda is being pursued by a ghost of the driver that caused the accident. He is angry, and accusing Melinda and Jim of “stealing” Sam’s life.

Melinda locates Sam’s sister, who comes to his bedside. Sam recognizes the scent of his sister’s shampoo, but not his sister. Sam’s parents arrive, determined to take their son home with them. (The back-story here is that Sam’s parents do not have a good relationship with either of their children, as they have tried to manage their lives for them.)

Instead of going with his parents, Sam goes back to the hospital, and locates Melinda through the Antique shop that Melinda and her best friend Delia run. Melinda goes to the park to talk to Sam, where we see a flashback of Melinda and Jim in the same park.

Melinda offers Sam a place to live in her garage, and work to do. His parents find out about this, and come to visit Melinda, demanding that they let their son go with them. Sam chooses not to go with them, but to take off on his own.

Segue to Delia and her son, Ned. Melinda has been packing Jim’s things, so be given away. Ned asks for Jim’s basketball, as he and Jim used to play together. Delia assures Ned that it was fine that he bonded with Jim as a father, and allows him to keep the basketball.

After Sam leaves, Delia goes to the basketball court, looking for Ned (which is where he is supposed to be every Monday – doing a shooting practice). Ned isn’t there, and has to admit to his mother (over the phone) that Monday’s he used to play basketball with Jim. Delia turns around, and there is Sam, shooting hoops. He says that he was drawn to the location, and that he does not understand why.

Delia takes Sam home to talk to Melinda. You see, Delia, who was not a believer of Melinda’s abilities, has now seen them proven through Sam. Melinda and Sam talk – Sam is going to move into the garage, but she still does not tell him about Jim coming into his body.

As Melinda turns around, there is the ghost of the driver of the other car – the one that caused the accident. He tells Melinda that she was right, after all. Melinda then help him move into the light.

I was impressed with this episode, as it addressed the issue of a soul leaving their physical body, by choice, and essentially leaving a lifetime unfinished, so that another soul can take their physical body and live that lifetime out. Looking at Sam’s family background, and the hints that were given in the show about his not being all that happy with his life, it is believable that this happened.
