NUP_133308_0008

Medium episode 5.13 and 5.14, parts one and two of “How to Make a Killing in Big Business” were just amazing! If you missed it, you’ll want to catch up before part three.

9:02

Patricia wakes up in an elegant bedroom and walks down to a gorgeous kitchen with a hubby in tennis whites. The kids come in from the pool and Allison tries to open a door.

9:02

Joe gets upset when she tries to open it and warns her it was their deal to never look behind it. She pulls it open anyway to see bloody walls.

9:09

Allison wakes up and all is as it always is.

9:10

Caitlyn calls Allison to ask her to meet for lunch. She brushes her off and heads out to meet Lee.

9:11

She steps into a place belonging to the missing Autumn. She sees blood and a battered body. Lee sees a shiny, beautiful room.

9:11

Ariel heads to school, worried about the PSAT’s, only to hear that a classmate drowned after a car accident.

9:12

Caitlyn stops Allison on the way to her car and talks to her about being a psychic for the private sector.

9:14

Allison isn’t really interested in the job offer, but the high six figure salary? Umm. Maybe she’ll have second thoughts.

9:19

Joe is interested. Allison feels intrigued. “What does it mean when she says high six figures?”
Joe – “It means you call her tomorrow.”

9:19

And someone is throwing suitcases in the river. And ick. The one that he unzipped had a body.

9:21

9:21

Wow. Allison looks hot.

9:22

Allison is going to sit in on Caitlyn’s two o’clock. Caitlyn throws away a casual, “Like your boss said, everyone takes a little personal time now and then.

9:23

Meanwhile, Ariel is in the bathroom when her books start floating away. She looks up and sees the drowned and dripping Stacy Ann.

9:24

9:25

Caitlyn dreams for 4 hours a day and gets paid six figures. I might want her job!

9:36

She comes home to a dance party. Lydecker sent presents.

9:37

“Let’s go crazy. We can order appetizers and desserts. I might even draw on the placemats with crayons.”

9:38

And we’re back to the bloodbath dream.

9:42

Scanlon stops by to say goodbye.

9:44

Ariel says the pill didn’t really do anything for her. Then she goes out the door and steps in a flood of water.

9:45

She steps into an English classroom and there is writing on the board. The teacher catches her and tells her she should be elsewhere. She glances back at the board and it is completely different.

9:46

Allison signs a contract and gets told to log every dream in a book. Devalos calls and asks her to remember to hand in her id and other stuff.

9:54

Lee blows Allison off. He won’t question the lead detective on the case.

10:08

10:10

Allison tries on a ton of clothes.

10:12

Allison drives home in her fancy car and Joe is happy to discover she is still smiling at bed time.

10:15

Allison falls asleep and sees the same lead detective putting together a new bloodbath.

10:19

Wait a second. He didn’t kill her. He cleaned up after the killer.

10:20

Ashley’s dad calls Joe. It sounds like Ariel is going to get caught.

10:21

Allison reports to her boss that one guy gives her a dark feeling.

10:46

[Comment From Mike]

Wow, this is the best episode ever!

10:46

[Comment From Mike]

Ariel seeing the dead girl reminded me of that episode early in season two when Allison kept seeing that creepy old guy.

10:46

Hi Mike. My computer crashed and it took me ten minutes to get coveritlive back up.

10:47

What I missed talking about: Allison and Joe confront Ariel about her drug use and Allison decides to take her to the doctor for a prescription.

10:48

Allison calls Lee and he agrees to take a look at the lead detective. He ends up shooting him in self defense. Now, they don’t know who the killer is.

10:49

Allison dreams that Mr. Lydecker’s son killed himself. She can’t get a hold of him.

10:49

Ariel dreams a teacher is dead. She gets to school and sees the same teacher standing there.

10:50

Allison goes to Mr. Lydecker and tells him about his son. He almost blows her off and is more concerned about the fact that she mentioned her dreams to Lee.

10:51

Mr. Lydecker explains that Allison cannot tell Lee or Devalos about any of her thoughts or dreams. He owns them all and telling them is an act of theft.

10:52

He appreciates her sense of civic responsibility and he will sue her to here and back if she ever shares her dreams again. He wants her to be happy, though.

10:53

Hmm. I can’t see her sitting still for that. I wonder if she can get out of her contract?

10:57

[Comment From Guest]

I think that guy is going to die for some reason

10:57

Me, too. She’s going to get out of it somehow.

10:57

Joe thinks Allison is being a little unreasonable. He understands the corporate mindset.

10:58

She dreams about Lydecker Jr. trying to kill himself again.

10:58

He doesn’t seem to want to.

10:59

[Comment From Guest]

OMG!

10:59

He’s the killer. No wonder Lydecker hired her. He’s covering for his son!

10:59

I know!

11:00

No wonder the cop was cleaning up. His dad probably paid a fortune for the clean up service.

11:00

[Comment From Guest]

That was crazy! I can’t wait until next week!

11:01

I’m just glad they didn’t stretch it to three weeks. I wouldn’t have made it a third week for the ending. Two will be bad enough.

11:01

[Comment From Mike]

Yea

11:02

[Comment From Luke]

Wow.

11:03

[Comment From Luke]

I thought this was supposed to be the season finale?

11:03

Luke, No. There are several more episodes ahead.

11:04

[Comment From Luke]

Wow, I did not know that! Heroes ended last week, but I guess I’m pleasantly surprised and glad to hear that Medium is going to go on for a little while longer! :)

And a few more. I think June 4th is the finale. I’ll have to doublecheck the date to be sure.

11:05

They may have changed the end date with the double episode weeks we’ve been having.

11:08

[Comment From Luke]

Yay!

11:12

Well, I’ve got kids to get on the bus tomorrow, so I’m turning in. See you all tomorrow!
