Allison fears that her marriage is falling apart after consulting with her own psychic, though she went just to find out about Joe's biopsy prognosis (turns out to be benign). Joe is having to work late hours, further making Allison suspicious. Plus finding a card that fell out of Joe's pocket from a person with a gender-neutral name, Kelly, made Allison even more suspicious. After the DA doctors up the search warrant (making it seem that Allison got an anonymous tip), Joe is worried that Allison being exposed on the stand would introduce public ridicule to the family and be a hardship on the daughters.

Then I cackled like a hyena as Allison turned the tables on the lawyer defending a cop killer during his cross examination of Allison. Good stuff.

I think the acting on the show is better than the subplots, but pretty watchable stuff, especially since Allison has integrity and isn't afraid to put her foot down when she has to.

That courtroom scene was badass when she dropped a few bombshells on that prosecutor. I got a good laugh out of that one, too.

So.. was "Australia" really nothing???

Yeah, what was with the "Australia" warning, except to surprise the viewers about the real "crisis."

The courtroom scene at the end was great. That defense attorney will show up in later episodes, I bet.

I love the interaction between Allison and Joe, better than average TV acting.

This was to set up when she met the Medium like
herself. That she could not always predict
exactly what was going to happen.
As shown when Joe saved the the girl in the
bar from choking. She assumed an affair.
Again Australia being a bad omen for
the skin cancer. Which it wasn't.

The sad thing about the series is some
of the poor writing & acting. Allison & the DA
on the park bench was painful to watch.
The delivery of his lines was just terrible.
Which was partly due to the poor writing.

I give this ep a C-

I like this show but this ep was not up to par.

I thought that Allison jumped to too many conclusions which was silly because she never really confronted Joe about it.

The courtroom scene at the end did help a bit though.

You said everything I wanted.

Australia was weird, but the acting was some of the best I have seen for a TV show.

I agree with everyone that the twist in the courtroom scene is very clever. I was wondering how Allison is going to get out of that jam after swearing to tell the truth on the Bible.

She got out of the jam by not lying. She convinced the sleezy defense attorney not to press his question by convincing him she would expose his dirty secrets if he did.

I really don't like Arquette and the husband on this show. I don't even believe that they like each other, let alone love each other. There is no chemistry between those two.

I loved Alison laying the smackdown on the defense attorney though. That was great. I know that they admit the inconsistencies of what Alison knows and what comes to her, but isn't it a bit weird that she receives all of this guy's dirty laundry at such an opportune time?

Exactly..The writing is just too suspect early on
with this series.

I guess time.... umm ratings will tell though.

I really like this show, and as acting and writing goes I think its great. the family stuff at home seems like a real family.

Agreed. And the youngest daughter's delivery of her lines is especially noteworthy. I don't know who she is, but she seems to have pretty good acting chops for someone her age.

I wasn't sure about this show at first, but it's growing on me each week. I hope it sticks around long enough to at least complete a season.

No worries of that. It's been picked up for a second season already.

It figures. This swill is a hit and Glenn Gordon Caron's last show, Now and Again, which was vastly superior, got cancelled after one season, with a cliffhanger pending.
