Plot
After five years on NBC, CBS picked Medium up on Friday nights between Ghost Whisperer and Numb3rs. Allison is finally out of her coma after suffering from a brain tumor on her brain stem and at first she can barely use her right hand, but as the season progresses she gets better and better. For the first few episodes Mrs. DuBois walks with a cane and does physical therapy. She got to keep her gift because she delayed the surgery from season 5 at the very end to catch Oswaldo Castillo. Allison's friend who was in the hospital with her (played by Martha Plimpton) dies under mysterious circumstances and Allison realizes it was the doctor who saved her life. The Halloween episode Bite Me is a take on Night of the Living Dead where Allison uses her dream to catch a killer no one would never suspect. Another greedy doctor creates a vaccine hoping to make millions by infecting people, but the courageous guy that the doctor gave it to, killed himself. Joe gets a new job, but to his dismay he gets to work with a very eccentric leader played by Joel Moore. After Terry (Joe's last boss) sold the company, the people that bought it out wanted to keep Joe on working thee days a week in San Diego, but when Allison got sick he had to resign his position. By now, all three girls are growing up with Ariel graduating high school. Allison learns a valuable lesson in one episode where she tries desperately to get Ariel to do the things she does, but soon realizes, Ariel has to live her life and move on and the college she wants to attend is Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. Lee and Lynn have a baby and decide to get married in the final episode.
