When Delia sells a haunted house to a father and daughter, Steve and Marlo, Melinda must determine who is haunting the house and why. At first, Melinda thinks it must be Liz, Steve's wife and Marlo's mother, who had died in a fall from a cliff while hiking. Steve had a chance to save Liz, but Marlo slipped and Steve had to save her instead, leaving Liz to fall to her death. This left both Steve and Marlo feeling very guilty, and once they moved into their new house, Steve and Marlo begin acting strangely and aggressively toward each other. Payne and Melinda discover that the house is haunted by Vivian and Matt, who are using Steve and Marlo's guilt to oppress them, forcing them to reenact the sick game of betrayal, guilt and paranoia that took over their own lives and ultimately led to their death. Now just pawns in Vivian and Matt's game, Steve and Marlo try to harm each other, but Melinda is able to get them out of the house and break the spell before it is too late. Once out of the house, Steve and Marlo are visited by Liz, who assures them they should not blame themselves for her death and that they both did what they had to do. Once their guilt is gone, Liz is able to cross over, and Steve and Marlo move on.
