As Melinda and Sam decide to give dating a try, Melinda must also help the ghost of Deborah Marks protect her teenage daughter from a supposedly bad-news boyfriend.
Deborah Marks: In her early 40s, accomplished, she’s a civil litigation lawyer who is married to a judge. Deborah died one month ago in an accident that left her bruised and seemingly burned. She begs Melinda for help in preventing her daughter, Kira, from spending time with Tim Dwight, one of Deborah’s work-probation kids. Deborah rescued Tim from juvie and tried to set him on a new path, but now she regrets ever bringing him into her and her family’s life.
Kira Marks: Legal 18 to play 17 years old, troubled and frustrated, with bitterly conflicted feelings about her late mother Debora, she is a high school student who used to be in orchestra with Ned. Kira’s date to the dance is a total creep, so she calls her older friend and crush, Tim, to come pick her up. Kira is convinced that her mother wanted Tim for herself, and she fears that Deborah cared more about her work-probation charity cases than her own daughter.
Douglas Marks: In his mid 40s, imposing but a bit worn out, he’s a newly-appointed judge who met and fell in love with his late wife Deborah when he was in law school and she was an undergrad. He hasn’t had the heart to look through the items in her safe yet, and reveals to Melinda that he’s not thrilled about his daughter Kira hanging out with Tim Dwight.
Tim Dwight: 20 years old, rugged and protective, he spent time in juvie for a robbery and was rescued by Deborah Marks, who got him a work-probation job at her law firm. Tim feels a connection to Deborah’s 17-year-old daughter Kira, and picks her up from the dance when her date proves to be a jerk, but he doesn’t encourage her crush. Now, just when he’s about to turn his life around, he’s considered a suspect in Deborah’s death.
Gail Dwight: Tim’s mother, she’s in her late 40s, poised and stalwart, convinced of her son’s good character but worried about him. She explains to Melinda that Tim’s stint in juvie was the result of Tim taking the rap for someone else. Source: SpoilerTV
