This week's mystery in "Devil's Bargain" will keep you guessing as we unfold three intricate storylines that are connected to one tragic death. If you've watched previous seasons of Ghost Whisperer, you'll recall that Melinda's visions often force her to relive an experience of the ghost she is helping. Just in the past few episodes, Melinda has had her eyes and mouth sewn shut, she's watched a surgery go horribly wrong, and she's experienced a vision in which she has a rod inserted into her broken neck. This week's episode is no exception as Melinda finds herself caught in a mystery that forces her to experience what the ghost went through in order to help solve the case.
Special thanks to Jennifer Love Hewitt for training for an incredible dance numberr—truly amazing! We'd also like to commend her trainer Rie Katagiri of S Factor, who prepared Love for the role. Don't just take our word for it! Check out the episode and tell us what you think!
