Sophie and her special friend Wade were together on an old St Luke's church and she told him about the whole Joshua ghost story. Police came to investigate the family.Len took care of the interview while Sophie was asked to go home. AT HOME.... Sophie: What? Mom,No.How could you even think I would do that? Cat: Well,you shoved that girl at school.You sneak out to go to a party. I mean I don't..I don't know what you are capable of anymore. Sophie: Mom,it wasn't me.I swear.I really think it was....No,never mind. Cat: No,finish what you're gonna say. Sophie: At some point,you're not gonna believe me. Cat: Try me. Sophie: Fine,I think it couldn't been a ghost. Turns out Sophie went to one of Cat's files and got intrigued so she went to figure out if it's true. (Wait a minute,so Cat is a Doctor by day and investigator by night) Sophie was interested to dig in for the same reason as her mother.So they share something in common atleast.The longing to maybe have the chance to see Will one day. Both parents busy so she has to go to her grand parents because she needed someone to look for her. Cat: I'm sorry Sophie but I don't really believe in ghosts Sophie: I'm not surprise.You really don't believe in anything. SEARCH FOR GHOSTS So Dr T sent Sophie to her grand parents so she can dig further on the case that she rejected but after Sophie thinks there's something to it so Cat changed her mind .She met with Zed and Janel to look further. St Luke's church was build shortly after the civil war.It hasn't been used in years.A recent fast food chain company purchased the place recently planning into turning it to a gastro pub but construction workers refused to work on it. The workers thinks it's haunted.Some claimed to have seen the ghosts such as Joshua Butler. The church was locked so Zed and Janel decided to find the key get in.Meanwhile Dr T was left behind waiting for them when she saw vision of herself seeing her ex husband and daughter in the church. Since she's busy,she asked the two to take in charge with the investigation. She went to pick up her daughter from her parents.They were in a hurry to leave probably avoiding his father but he was able to catch up with them on from jogging.Cat seemed bothered around her father and he just seem cold towards her.They seem to be not in good terms. The introduction of Dr T's parents.He was a retired Colonel. GHOST HUNTERS Janel and Zed continued to look around while Dr T has to leave for some errands. Janel: Think how many life events happened here.Baptisms,weddings... Zed: and Funeral? They were checking when Janel discovered that there's a place colder within the chapel. Janel: There's a theory that for a ghost to manifest,they have to draw energy in the form of heat from the environment that's why haunted places can feel unusually cold. (Door creaks and slammed) Zed: What about wind. Janel: There's no theory about that.I supposed it could be evidence too .A form of rapid energy dispersal cause by manifesting operation Zed: or it's just wind... AT THE HOSPITAL Zed fill in Dr T with their encounter at the church.She thought that's enough to tell Sophie to satisfy her but Zed tried to convince her that Janel thinks it is an interesting field to study. They were interrupted by the nurse telling Dr Tyler his father was rushed into the ER.She ran all the way to the ER.She tried to check on him but his father resisted. Father: No,No No! Get away from me with that thing.Len already did all that.Just give me some aspirin and send me home. Dr T: Great! The one person in the room without any medical experience is the one giving orders...I'm having you admitted. Father: Oh,the hell you are!Oh,the hell... (orders wife to get his pants) Mother:If you're going home,you're going without me or your pants! (Lol) Father: Len,c'mon man.Helped me out. Len: Sorry Col. when it comes to heart stuff,your daughter gives the orders around here. Father: Oh and who thought that was a good idea? Dr T: Maybe we could transfer you to pediatrics.It might be a better fit for you.(Hahaha) THE GHOST INVESTIGATORS Zed and Janel went to meet Mr Van Owen to discuss the GHOST case further but when he found out Dr T isn't coming ,he stood up to leave. Janel: Uh,we wanted to ask you about one of your files,Joshua Butler the merch marine who was killed around the turn of century? VO: Yeah,yeah yeah...that's an interesting case...why don't we order some while we wait for Dr Tyler...(noticed their reactions) She's not coming is she? Babye! Janel: Ivan was very intrigued by your file and prefer to have someone of your exceptional talent and expertise research this case. Zed: Rather than Dr Tyler who as you know can be a close minded skeptic at times. They were able to convince him to stay and Janel brought up about the residual haunting as stated in one of his files. VO: Yes,it's when the energy remains after a person dies traumatically while someone called the soul is separated from the body too quickly and It lingers unable to move on. (to Zed) Who are you? Zed: (Surprise) Zedan?! Zedan Badawie?! VO: How could you prove that? Zed: (attempts to get his ID) VO: Is it your DNA? Your passport? or is it a process bondage to yourself? And if it is,if the soul exist with an energy,how could that be destroyed? Janel: You're talking about orchestrated objective reduction?! VO: Yes I am Janel:(explaining to Zed) It says that our souls exists neurologically speaking Zed: Fascinating! Since Dr H thinks those were real,Zed asked if he can possibly go with them to the church to find out but he rejected because he was busy. DINNER FOR TWO Sophie and Cat preparing for dinner. Sophie asked her mom how her grandpa is doing.She said he was stubborn and opinionated to which Sophie comments she knew what's that like.Cat was taken aback and she reasoned out she listened to Sophie sometimes and told her that Janel and Zed where investigating on the case but warned her not to be too excited. Sophie would like to be part of the investigation to see it for herself but her mom suggested she should go visit her grandpa first.Sophie mentioned it just felt awkward at times for her.She asked her mom if her grandpa might be blaming her for what happened.The pain in Cat's face says it all. AT THE CHURCH Janel was taking photos using a high spectrum camera that can reveal things that can't be seen by the naked eye.Zed showed up with a better idea that he read from the book.H He said that in order to have contact with the ghosts,they have to call on their names.He attempted to call the name of Joshua Butler. Janel caught something on her camera and called Zed's attention. AT THE HOSPITAL Dr T went to check his father who have been refusing to take his meds.He is fully convinved nothing's wrong with him and he desperately wanted to be released.Dr T commanded him to stay back and take his medicines and it seemed to be a big issue for his father to take orders from her.It hurts his ego as it seems. Father: The only thing that I need is some rest.And how can I get that with that damn machine beepin' dead..you know...(attempting to get out) Dr T: (authoritative voice) Lay back,be quite and take your meds! Father: Well,you like this don't you? Giving your old man orders? Dr T: You know,I am trying to help you.People come all over the country to get my help.Maybe they know something you don't. Father: Oh there it is...huh! just like when you were a little girl. Caroline Tyler Arrogant.Oh,yeah..Is that how you were with Len? No wonder why he left. Seeing her daughter hurt with his words,he apologized quickly asking her to give him the medicine to appease her but Dr T left hurt,pissed off and not saying anything.Zed asked how did it go and she replied "Same as yesterday and 70 years before that". Zed fill her in with what they found out at the church and show her the photo Janel took but as usual,she's very skeptic(Like her father) so Zed told her just to visit the church and see it for herself.(Good choice Zed) She went to see the place at night time.These people.Seriously if I were her,I would be darn scared. Place as creepy like that will scare the hell out of me! She was checking the place when man showed up.He asked if she came to pray but she said she came for her daughter who claimed have seen ghosts.The man said he came to peform exorcism because the diocese are worried the buyer of the place threatening to pull out after the ghost stories incident.ANd she was fascinated people still do that. He wondered why a heart doctor was ghost hunting. Dr T: Well,I just...I told my daughter I would look but I do not really believe in ghosts. Fr: I don't neither.Except of course for the holy ghosts.And to be honest,even that one is a little iffy for me sometimes. Dr T: Wh..what about miracles and... water into wine,raising of the dead.Those sort of things. Fr: I believe in humanity. Aren't we all God's miraculous creation? And look at yourself,your see the difference between life and death everyday. Dr T: That's medicine,not a miracle. Fr: That's FAITH.That's faith that your patience have in you,that you have in your skill that you've been given. Dr T: My father would say that's arrogance. Fr: Don't you think you be proud? Dr T: It's never felt like it.It's never enough no matter what things I've accomplished. Fr: And yet you have...Faith in ourselves..For some of us,that's a hell lot better than Faith in God. My favorite scene.I love how Dr T finally melt down and confront her pain and worries.Her doubts.Everything she puts down her walls and finally admitted to vulnerability.She felt that she can never be enough for her father.Don't we all have that moment of feeling coz sometimes I do. FATHER AND EX IN LAW BONDING At the hospital,Len and Cat's father bonding over video game and they had a talk.He asked why Len never went visit and he said he felt embarrassed and his father understand with what they went though but her father thinks it's not fair to totally shut Len out of her life.Len was surprised she didn't tell her father the real reason of their break up.That was before the accident,before Will's death he did something stupid.He let her down by cheating on her.Her father in anger asked Len to leave. AT THE CHURCH Father: It's been a while hasn't it? Since you've been in a church. Dr: It was a year ago...just couldn't go in. Fr: To a funeral? Dr T: yes. (so this is the flashbacks she had earlier?) Dr:It's never too late to light a candle. Dr T: I know. Fr: Do you blame God? Dr T: It's hard to blame something that you don't believe in now.The truth is I blame myself more... and I'm not the only one. Fr: I could have told you of your sins but I don't think it would do you any good.What's the point of forgiving you.You first forgive yourself. Sometimes I think we cling to blame because the real truth is it's too hard to face. Dr T: Which is? Fr: There is no big meaningful reason why someone we love is taken from us.It just happens. I reallly loved those calm confrontational conversation. AT THE HOSPITAL She checked on her father and he found out he needed urgent surgery.(Was that triggered with his talk with Len earlier) Since it's medical protocol that she cannot operate on her own father,she picked a specific doctor to perform surgery for his father provided that Zed will be there to assist. While Van Owen and Janell went to the church to check further and turns out it there's no GHOST drama. AT THE HOSPITAL Dr T restless waiting and watching while his father was being operated.If I were the doctor performing the operation I will be so pressured.turns out there was more damaged on the less ventricle so the operation will take longer. While waiting she had a heart to heart talk with her mother and both seemed surprise of how they can still surprise each other through the years.I mean her mother had raised knowing she knew most things about her only she didn't. Cat on the other hand assumed her father must have hated her for how her life has turned and she thought that she can't do anything to please her father only to realized there's more to the mask her father had put on through the years. If he wasn't been through a serious medical condition,I doubt if they had the chance to talk like that.Nor will she have the time off to talk to her family. A father who assumed her girl will always be that arrogant girl she was only to be surprised of her capability to be selfless and to carry all the pain and burdens to herself. After the operation,her father finally acknowledge her daughter and even asked her to go run with her sometime.In exchange was a satisfied heart with the sweetest smile. FAMILY BACKGROUND His father can sacrifice everything for the one he loved and he is not the cold man she thought he was.She never get the chance to meet his dad's parents because when they found out he's going to marry a white girl,they made her chose between her and them.He chose her.So when she was born,all her father could do is send photos of her on her birthdays.Her mom seemed to have an interest in medicine but have to leave it all out and attend to her family when Cat was born and her father is a Colonel.And her mother told her she knew what happened and she should have not kept all those to herself. It was just fascinating how many years it takes you before you learn things about you.You grow old and you see your ailing love ones.Or you see some of them taken away from you and you stood there in wonder why and how come hurting.Blaming yourself,blaming everybody or blaming God. For me,I really wonder how people finally get the chance to talk to people they love when they are dying or already dead and people say these wonderful things and too bad the dead can't hear it anymore. At home,she told Sophie what Zed and Janell found out.Some homeless Chap named Samuel lives in the abandoned church and had tried to imitate Joshua Butler just to scare people. Janell reported it to Dr T and she on the other hand relayed the findings to Sophie. She asked Len why he admitted what he's done to her parents knowing they loved him so much and he said confession is the first step to penance. She was this girl her father would love to bend to obey.She was this girl her father asked to confess in a church for hitting on a boy.All those flashbacks came to her when she saw her little girl grow up full of conviction.She was the product of her father,and I guess every time she looks at Sophie and she can see her self in her.That feeling of euphoria and nostalgia I can feel it. Seeing Cat light the candle could be a symbol of hope,faith and forgiveness for her.Just as people entrust their lives on her,she too had to lay her burdens and be free for a while.FAITH. BOTTOM LINE IS In my general psychology subject under the topic of human behavior,it says that who we are is a product of our parents genes we inherit and our environment.Though there are some arguments about how we develop and obtain our skills or personality,one thing is certain.We inherit a genetic imprint that is already part of us when we were born.I think depending on certain factors such as experiences can we display behavior different from our parents.Seeing Dr Tyler's father made me understand her pain and personal struggles.She lived with very authoritative father who seemed skeptic about anything even on her own daughter's ability and strengths that she on the other hand seemed to have inherited some of it. I have read somewhere that the person who do not believe in anything is the poorest and I think it is true.That person is not only the poorest but the saddest state to be in.I could not imagine a life being pessimistic. I would rather believe in something that is unseen than never believe in anything at all.That's just too sad. THE SHOW GETS BETTER Just as I thought I know what to expect from the show,turns out it comes in great surprise and twists.I love how they introduce her parents and what she was like as a child because I get to understand her more.She was indeed her father's daughter.She has this certain attitude that her father called arrogance.I also thought she was too arrogant and bitchy at first watching her.She gave me this impression that she's better than anybody but turns out she put that to shield and protect herself. It took me forever to finish watching this episode because I have to keep repeating certain scenes.This episode was more spiritual for me.It has all those things that makes me ponder about life deeper.It was all these things that makes our heart rushing,needing,wanting,finding. Above all,it was liberating watching that scene she had with the priest.It was their first time to meet each other and yet they have this certain connection as if they knew each other in ages.She opened her heart like she never did to anyone and he told her things that really took her by surprise and changed her.That scene made me reflect on my faith.I was always a believer and I have faith in God,in humanity and kindness and love.I have faith in certain things but I didn't go to church for a very long time but it doesn't mean it diminish my belief in the existence of God. I love how they make it merge together beautifully.They have opened but sides fairly and it doesn't make you chose which side to believe but it makes you personally search yourself and be open to possibilities.I think that Science and Faith works hand in hand and shouldn't be separated. INTERESTING REVELATIONS Giving Sophie more screen time of her own and incorporate some ghost story which I know is a huge sensational topic among youngsters today is a brilliant idea.Also I love how Zed and Janell were given more screen time.I loved the development and the path it went through. The revelation of the real reason of the break up also surprised me.I thought it was because of the whole thing she went through.Her NDE and Will's death.Turns out Len had screwed her up.This is my fave episode so far.It didn't seem a jargon at all to me.It felt easier to understand and relate with compared with the other episodes. OTHER HIGHLIGHTS
I had the luxury of time to check tags on tumblr and I chose some that really made me smile..." Does the Priest count as a ghost because I’m like 90% sure he wasn’t there with present Cat, especially when he looked exactly as he did when little girl Cat was dragged in for confession. That was mildly confusing, but the exorcising priest with his hooch wasn’t even the oddest part of this episode." via gottawatchit on tumblr I see what she meant :)"I love that Jennifer Beals parents are always bi racial no matter what show she is on. Like her father was black on The L word and on this new TNT show Proof. I wonder if she puts that shit into her contracts." via artapoelc-thequeen on tumblr "I’m so glad to have finally found a female character who is just as outwardly angry as i am inwardly" |
