The Ghost Whisperer Review: "Blood Money"

at .

On this week's episode of The Ghost Whisperer, Melinda's life was actually in physical danger.

"Blood Money" showed us the perfect example of how money is the root of all evil. Henry was a very rich boy whose parents never gave him any of it because they wanted him to not just be a lazy trust fund kid, but to have goals and aspirations for himself. One would think that if you did have the kind of money that the Austin's had, this would be the perfect way to raise your child.

But, things usually never work out like you plan them and because of Henry's friend Jeff's influence, they set up his own kidnapping to get two million dollars from his parents. It was sad that Henry had to die because Jeff didn't believe he could keep this from the cops. We were wondering how, if Henry was in on his own kidnapping, why would he get to see the light? It made sense after the flashback because Henry didn't want the money, he just wanted to go home to his parents.

In Danger?

Moral of the story? If you are multi-million dollar wealthy make sure to always talk to your children about the evils that come with having so much money. Money changes people and in order to stay grounded, you must give to the less fortunate. That's all we got from it. What do you think the moral of this story was?

Another part that confused us was why were the three kids going to that barn anyway? It looked like the only one that didn't know about the money was Greg. The last scene with these guys was in a hospital prison. We feel the writers didn't do a good job wrapping this part of the story up.

Since we only have a couple more episodes before we say good-bye to our beloved spooky friends, it was nice that they threw us a bone and gave us Carl at the end. We really didn't understand his warning.

First he tells Melinda that the Shadows feed off of energy and if they become fearful of her, they will attack her and her family. He leaves telling her to worry less about greed and focus on fear. We don't get it. What should she be fearful of? And how will this help keep her family safe? What does greed have to do with the Shadows and Melinda?

One thing we know for certain is that Aiden will play a huge creepy role in the season finale - we can just feel it!
