Ghost Whisperer at a Comedy Club

So I learned something new about Ghost Whisperer ghosts today. Apparently if someone died suddenly, horribly, then their ghost is not the pretty image of their living self, but much closer to what their corps looked like. Luckily, after a few chats with Melinda, the beauty comes back.

Also, this death was a suicide, which was a first, and yet he was still able to pass to the other side, going towards that light. Did he achieve forgiveness or do penance in his ghost form? I still haven't quite figured out what all the rules are for crossing over...I wonder if we ever will.

But none of that really matters compared to what our lovely lead was wearing. There was a definite red theme going on. Red dresses, red coat (a fabulous, full-length, full-skirted number I would kill for), even her night gown was a sexy silky red number (with a red bathrobe) rather than her flowy white 19th century garment. It's a good thing her antique store is turning a profit, or she'd never be able to afford all those new clothes.

We also got a sign that there is a ghost plot line that isn't just going to take place over one episode. Some crazy laughing ghost, who had appeared strangely at the end of an earlier episode was back, still laughing, with a fedora-wearing ghost whose face we could not see who claimed he had "business" with Melinda.

Will this turn into a serious ghost encounter or will Melinda help him to reconcile with his family and cross over as well? I guess I'll just have to keep watching!
