The Medium - Season 5, Episode 11 – The Devil Inside (Part 1) – air date 8-18-09. In this episode Allison is dealing with a serial murderer, and with Lucas Harvey, a man who is stalking Allison, convinced that he is doing the work of God by getting rid of her and her ability.

The entire family is confined to their house after Lt. Scanlon discovers Harvey’s apartment, and in-depth information on Allison’s and Joe’s schedules, as well as those of their daughters.

The serial murders are an interesting scenario – young women are being killed, and in her dreams Allison sees some type of device being held over their mouth and nose, rendering them unconscious. She guesses that it must contain some type of gas, which it does turn out to be – gas that is used during surgery, indicating that the killer has access to medical devices, and the knowledge to use them.

The detective that Allison works bring groceries to the family, as they do not want them to leave the house. Allison hear water running, and goes to check it out. The bathtub in the master bath is running – and when she goes to shut it off, the door slams and Lucas Harvey appears. He forces her head into the water, but is killed by Lt. Scanlon before Allison is harmed. (I still don’t understand why Harvey had to be shot, but that is what happened.)

In a dream, Allison sees another young woman about to be killed. She sees the killer, waiting in his car, and then sees his license number 2THDR1. The car is traced to a dentist – who has had a heart attack, and been in a coma for four months! The girl that she saw killed was actually killed the day before her dream. In the same dream, she received the answer to a question put to her by Joe’s boss – should he buy a certain stock. In the dr4eam, the answer was yes. In reality – the stock tanked, meaning that Joe will have to start laying off people at work.

It gets better – Allison has a dream where there is a young girl tied up in her basement. Lt. Scanlon, DA Devalos (her boss) and her husband all appear, ready to beat the girl up – black leather gloves and all! She startles awake, and wanders into the living room, where she encounters the ghost of Lucas Harvey.

Harvey informs Allison that he is the creator of her dreams, and he will continue to send her incorrect information, so that her powers are nullified.

Have I mentioned that I hate two part shows!
