This story continues just a couple of days after the events of the previous season 2 finale episode, but in that time, the backroom of Melinda's store has become a deep basement; her husband, Jim Clancy, has had his hair cut noticeably shorter; and, the town has arranged a thank you ceremony and made a plaque commemorating her for saving the town's children, a few of them whom are not even from Grandview (see the events in Ghost Whisperer: The Gathering (2007)).
