Ep 13. Home But Not Alone

Melinda and Jim are both excited for their upcoming wedding but they soon find themselves dealing with some unexpected family drama. Jim's mother, Janice, comes to town and immediately clashes with Melinda. Janice feels that Melinda is taking her son away from their family and is angry that Jim chose to propose to her instead of staying in the family business. Melinda tries to make peace with Janice but it seems like an impossible task.

Meanwhile, a young couple, Lila and Josh, move into their new home only to find that it is haunted by the previous owner. The ghost, a man named Walter, died in the house and is now attached to it. He doesn't want to leave but he also doesn't want anyone else living there. He begins to make his presence known to Lila and Josh, causing them to become scared and uneasy in their own home.

Melinda is called to the house to investigate the situation and she quickly realizes that Walter is not the only ghost in the house. There are several spirits there, all of whom are connected to the house in some way. Melinda learns that the house was built by a wealthy family in the early 1900s and has been passed down through generations. Each owner has added their own touches to the house, but it has always remained in the same family.

As Melinda begins to unravel the history of the house, she realizes that the ghosts are all fighting for control of it. They each want to claim the house as their own and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Melinda knows that she needs to find a way to help the ghosts move on, but it won't be easy.

While Melinda is dealing with the ghosts in the house, Jim is dealing with his own family issues. Janice is getting increasingly agitated and is causing tension between him and Melinda. Jim tries to talk to his mother and get her to see things from his point of view, but she is stubborn and refuses to listen. Jim begins to wonder if he is making the right decision by marrying Melinda.

In the end, Melinda is able to help the ghosts move on and find peace. She also finds a way to make peace with Janice, helping her to see that she and Jim belong together. The episode ends with Jim and Melinda continuing to plan their wedding, now with Janice's support.

Overall, "Home But Not Alone" is a great episode that combines family drama with the supernatural. It is a reminder that even ghosts have their own stories and that sometimes, the living need just as much help as the dead.
