Complete story — includes the ending

Melinda hears that there has been a fire at the Rockland University Building when Jim is called over there and hurries over, fearful for Professor Rick Payne, but he is revealed to be alive and well. However, a therapist by the name of Eli James dies and Melinda witnesses his soul being brought back. This 'near-death' experience grants him the ability to hear ghosts. The episode is focused on the ghost of one of Eli's patients, who was possibly more than that, and whether or not she has been starting fires since she was 12. Whilst Melinda is trapped in the archives, she meets a group of seemingly benign ghosts calling themselves the watchers, who warn her that dealing with death may brush off on something she loves. Note: This was Jay Mohr's last appearance as Professor Payne. First appearance of Jamie Kennedy as Eli James. Guest Star: Alona Tal as Fiona Raine
