A Touching Episode.
!!!!!! This review contains spoilers !!!!!!

What I liked about the episode was how Melinda becomes Peter Pan's Wendy, Rat as Peter, and Marty and Vic as her lost boys. In this episode, we find Melinda and Andrea host their first antiques auction for Mr. Ambrams, who owns a run-down hotel that once was an orphanage.

While moving some items for the auction, Melinda runs into 3 boys and their dog that lived in the orphanage, but died in a fire that destroyed the place. At first it seems that she didn't want to help the boys cross right away, but once she met the new owner, whose plans are to tear down the old orphanage, Melinda steps up her plans to find out why the boys, specifically Rat, refuse to cross over.

After she finally earns their trust, Melinda starts working on trying to have the new owner, Mr. Northrop not tear down the building, at least until the boys cross over. It was when the auction was taking place when Melinda realizes that Mr. Northrop's real identity is that of Ernie, a boy believed to have also died in the fire. It was after this when they go back to orphanage and talk about what happened on the night of the fire that happened years ago. Mr. Northrop tells her how guilty he has felt since then about how he made it out of the fire while the other boys were trapped inside, trying to get to him and then make it out safely.

It was after hearing this; the boys feel that they are ready to cross over, with Rat saying how he can't wait to see his brother who passed away after he was adopted. However, before the boys go, they tell Melinda how they would consider her their mother, which I found to be touching. The part of the episode that I found most enjoyable was the ending, with the boy's dog finding his way to Melinda's house, like he adopted Melinda and her husband as his new people. A great installment, a big improvement over last week's episode.
