Ghost Whisperer Recap: The Night We Met
A fire in a restaurant is the second in about a year. That alone should be a bit of a warning, but it's when Melinda sees Jim running from the building that she recalls their anniversary, happening in just a few days, that she recalls how they met. It's also worth noting that it's not a "real" anniversary, but the anniversary of the day they met. Melinda is also a bit bummed in that she thinks Jim has completely forgotten about the day, since he hasn't mentioned it, and seems to be headed out to his poker game.
In the meantime, a ghost consumed by fire surfaces in the ashes of the restaurant, so it looks like Melinda has something to keep her busy. As she researches the fire, it looks like the ghost may have started this second fire, and the more she digs, it seems like this may be the remains of the person who set the original fire, and he just hasn't left yet.
Like most of the other ghosts Melinda encounters the more he remembers about his life, the more he becomes a normal person and not just a flicker of a ghost, and so as she gets to know Warren, the more she finds out about what happened.
It seems that he was the chef of the restaurant, in business with Jesse, and while it's been established that Warren set the fire (his body was found in the burned-out shell, meaning he was the arsonist), Warren can't remember any details. Until he sees his wife, Lilly, who it seems has married Jesse in the time since his death.
At first mad because they are together, he wants to know if something happened prior to his death, and once he finds out that they only got together after he died, he calms down enough to remember the night he died, and that's when Warren recalls going back to the restaurant to pick up a piece of stained glass Lilly had made for him - and that's when he saw Jesse setting fire to the place to collect the insurance money. Unfortunately he was unable to escape, and his "friend" let him take the fall, and since he was dead, he couldn't defend himself. That would suck.
