Review - Medium: A Changed Man

Does a man ever truly change?

This episode left you asking yourself that very same question. And to ponder even further still - if he does change, isn’t he still deep down inside still the same man?

This Medium episode entitled A Changed Man has Allison (Patricia Arquette) chasing after a seemingly benign copy shop owner, David Saunders (Richmond Arquette) who happens to be having MRIs in the same doctor’s office as Allison and her children (another story I will get to momentarily). It seems as though Allison has visions of David doing very naughty things to a string of prostitutes, the last of whom may still be very involved in his life.

As Allison chases her demons, she also has to deal with the fact that all of the visions she has seen may be reduced to a simple peanut shaped overabundance of brain tissue on one side of her brain. While this thought does not make her happy, it seems to push Joe’s (Jake Weber) scientific theory buttons in all the right places. He rushes to have daughters Bridgette (Maria Lark) and Ariel (Sofia Vassilieva) tested only to find that his theory does not add up to a hill of peanuts (if you didn’t watch the episode you may not get this little joke).

At any rate, it turns out that Allison even after falling and bumping her head has still got it as she brings yet another murderous fugitive to justice. After all, even a murderous fugitive who may have changed his evil ways still needs to be brought to justice.
