It's pretty shocking that last week's "Medium" is one of the few times Ariel ever brings home a boy. For a pretty high school student she really does not date at all, what's up with that? Not that the show could use a teenage romance at the center of it, but she's almost in college. Ah well. So the episode starts with Ariel bringing home a handsome young boy, and her parents are excited because she got a letter from her first choice school Cornell. Instead, Ariel tells them she's pregnant and has no plans to go to college. Allison wakes up panicked, and that's certainly the kind of nightmare parents everywhere have.

Allison is troubled by the vision, but Joe insists she write it off as a common dream. Ariel finally talks about her friend - Casey - and Allison suggests he come over. Poor guy, they're not even dating yet and he has to meet the parents! Scanlon calls Allison in on a murder scene where a man has been shot to death. She gets a vision of the man murdering someone else and sealing him in a giant hole somewhere with cement. She does not know who either man are, or how that first murder is tied with this one.

Things start to come together a little when she has a vision of Casey sitting outside of the murder victim's house with a gun. She freaks out naturally and insists Scanlon bring Casey in for questioning. This is part protective mother and part psychic. He insists he doesn't know the man, and then his own overprotective mommy shows up to lose it at the cops. She threatens to sue and cause problems, and then Allison sees her outside talking to Casey and sees instead the man who was trapped in cement in her vision. Whaaat?

Ariel is very upset with her mother. Surprise. And seems to think she would certainly know if this boy was a murderer or not. Ah, to be young and think you know everything about everything. Casey's mother does not want Casey hanging out with Ariel anymore. At school she apologizes to him and he kisses her, but she has a vision herself of him hiding the gun that killed the victim in question. Ariel is heartbroken but does tell her mother, proving she will not be stupid and secretive over a cute boy. Nice to know. Allison has a strange vision of Casey talking to his mother and admitting he knew exactly who the man is, and he has the memories of Angelo, the man who was killed in the beginning.


It turns out that Casey is the child of Angelo and his mother, the result of an affair, and she had Angelo killed by the current murder victim so he wouldn't rat her out to her husband. She's been paying the assassin off ever since and he finally asked for too much, so she killed him too. Unfortunately they have enough on Casey to put him in jail, and it looks like his mother would actually let that happen. Ooo, she deserves what she gets. Blaming your kid, even if you think he's delusional, is not good parenting. Allison threatens to do a DNA test, and that does the trick. Case solved.

In a side story, Bridgette has visions telling her to watch this neighbor make a fool of himself and put it on the internet. She keeps taking videos and uploading it to YouTube. The neighbor is very angry about this and plans to sue the family, until it puts him in touch with his long lost love. Aw.

"Medium" is on CBS Friday nights at 9 PM EST.
