Here’s the recap of the open mic event for Medium episode 6.15 How to Beat a Bad Guy. I thought you might like to see Dean Norris, who plays Scanlon’s now deceased brother Paul.

9:00
Allison is walking in a dark parking lot on the phone with bags on her arm.

9:01
Looking more alert now, but a guy is approaching.

9:01
He wants $5.

9:01
Now, he’s stealing her purse. She wants her daughter’s baby photos.

9:02
She beats him up. And goes Kung Fu on the other boys.

9:02
Way to rewrite your ending Allison.

9:03
I love it. “I would have given you my purse, but nobody touches my little girl’s baby pictures.”

9:04
And she’s being revived in the parking lot. I liked the kicking butt version better.

9:07
Joe wants to kill somebody, but other than that.

9:08
Talking to the self defense instructor.

9:08
Maybe some lessons are in order? She took the instructor’s card.

9:09
Kids are upset. I would be, too. Seeing their mom’s face like that….

9:10
Allison hears a noise and turns to ask Joe if he heard it. But he’s not there.

9:10
Gets up to investigate and is attacked by the mugger. Thank goodness it was a dream this time.

9:11
Allison goes to see the instructor in the morning.

9:12
Hears her story about why she became an instructor.

9:12
Lee is meeting with Devalos. Ooh, nice suit.

9:13
Scumbag attacking a teen and videoing it.

9:15
An undercover guy on the case disappeared and Devalos is warning Scanlon to stay away. He’s almost certain that the rapist is Scanlon’s brother!

9:16
Wait. Scanlon has a brother. Did I know that?

9:20
Oh, okay. His name is Ben. He’s a bad guy, but he saved Scanlon when their drunken dad was beating him.

9:20
Of course, Scanlon did not listen to Devalos. He went right to visit his brother.

9:21
Scanlon and “the mom” are engaged. His baby’s name is Lee. Is it just me or is he more into Lee than former Deputy Doll?

9:22
His brother says he isn’t a pervert. He’s 50. He’s a different guy. He’s got a handle on things.

9:22
Scanlon doesn’t believe him.

9:24
Joe is watching a movie and Allison does some Karate Kid moves.

9:24
She’s feeling more like herself again.

9:24
Joe thinks so, too.

9:25
Kira is fighting with a man in Allison’s dream.

9:26
Allison goes to her and tells her she found the man on the sex offender registry.

9:27
She doesn’t think it was him and isn’t sure she really saw his face.

9:27
She brushes Allison off and walks off.

9:28
Allison goes to Scanlon for help. Henry Maynard is the guy in the photo. Really Sean Riley who is the undercover cop who disappeared. Uh, oh.

9:32
Joe makes Allison feel better. “Gee, now I hate you, too.”

9:33
And Allison didn’t know about Joe’s brother, either. I guess I don’t need to feel so bad.

9:33
And they found Riley dead after Allison dreamed about his location.

9:34
Devalos will be bringing in Scanlon’s brother for questioning.

9:35
“Manny, you don’t understand. This is my big brother.”

9:35
Devalos is asking Ben about the girl in the video and about his tattoo.

9:36
He denies all knowledge.

9:36
But Henry/Sean he does recognize.

9:37
Not as a murderer, but as the scumbag who might have hurt a girl.

9:38
Ben yells at Scanlon, who he knows is watching. He calls him “Mr. Good” and blames him.

9:39
Allison sees a vision of Ben attacking a girl.

9:40
She evades Scanlon’s questions about his brother and brings up her head injury. He gets to the truth. His brother was the one who raped the girl.

9:40
Fat weasel. I guess I’d call my brother worse than that if he was a rapist.

9:41
Scanlon is holding his gun to his brother’s head after breaking into his place to question him.

9:41
Does he believe his story?

9:41
I think he wants to. But does he?

9:42
Henry/Sean wakes up bound and gagged.

9:42
He sits up and tries to escape. Picking the lock on his cuffs when Kira walks in and says, “You’re awake. Good.”

9:43
He tries to talk, but there’s a gag in his mouth and she doesn’t want to hear him anyway.

9:44
Sean tries to explain, but he doesn’t quite pick phrases that would make a former rape victim happy. “Stop fighting.” “It’ll only get worse…” Dude. Seriously. Try, “I’m a cop under cover!”

9:47
By the way, if you miss Joe’s dad, be sure to tune in for episode 6.16 Allison Rolen Got Married. He’s in it!

9:47
Allison stops in to see Kira.

9:47
A new list. A list of dead sex offenders.

9:49
And news about Henry being a cop under cover instead of a sex offender. Kira says again she knows nothing. Then she asks Allison if she’s going to arrest her, which would require proof and muscle, neither of which she has.

9:50
Scanlon’s brother shows up with a stuffed toy to meet the gf and the baby. Scanlon tells him he sent them away. And then he tells him he watched the video of the teenager being raped today.

9:50
The guy kept bending his thumb back all the way to his wrist. His brother is double jointed and had the same habit.

9:51
One time offer to turn himself in and Scanlon will stand by him.

9:51
He’ll get him help to get better. “You don’t get it Mr. Good do you?…I’m fine. I like me.”

9:52
Very creepy guy. Must take after their dad.

9:53
Kira is talking to her victim – Scanlon’s brother.

9:54
Scanlon wakes up when Allison calls to tell him that Kira is going after his brother.

9:55
Wait. Kira’s going after Paul? I guess they changed Scanlon’s brother’s name from the casting call?

9:55
And Scanlon relieves the detective watching two hours early.

9:56
He sees Kira walk out after his brother.

9:56
Allison calls Scanlon. “Paul’s dead Allison…They were too late…”

9:57
Only he isn’t dead yet. Scanlon’s sitting in his car and just waiting.

9:57
Wow.

9:57
And next ep, as I mentioned, Allison is a young bride and Joe’s parents and her grandma will be appearing. Fun!

9:58
See you all next week.

I am so excited! Another episode of Medium finally is airing and I can’t wait to watch. Anyone want to join me for an open mic? I miss the fun of chatting with all the other fans at Medium Dreams. If you want to laugh and cry along with me as I watch Medium episode 6.15, entitled How to Beat a Bad Guy, I’d sure like to have the company. I’m not above bribery, so I’m bringing out the goodies:

Long Island Iced Tea because no one knows how to make a potential mugger cry and run away better than a true New Yorker and a dark chocolate truffle assortment just because I love dark chocolate. Mmmm.

So what’s up tonight? Why don’t I let Patricia Arquette tell you?

Ready to join me? You can comment here and I’ll check back a few times, but I’m also going to be live blogging the fun at CoverItLive:

Someone pinch me. Ow! I didn’t mean literally. But seriously, did you ever imagine that Medium would go from the poor stepchild of NBC to the darling child of CBS? Every issue of TV Guide I pick up has Medium in it. Everyone who is anyone is talking about the show. Patricia Arquette is presenting major awards! (And for those of you who are flat chested, let me assure you – they don’t make those dresses for well endowed women. It is almost impossible for her to find a dress that doesn’t highlight her chest without going for a style that has a Victorian ruff!)

Anyway, I open the September 28th issue of TV Guide and see a picture of Patricia Arquette and Jake Weber on the Inbox page. Yup. Right beside a photo advertising The Vampire Diaries recaps is a reminder to check out PaleyFest videos with their faces smiling back at me!

I’m thinking my life is complete until I get to pages 16 and 17. There, I see a nice shot of Jake Weber and Patricia Arquette again, along with a blurb about their new haircuts.

Ah, can it get any better? Why, yes. Yes, it could. For example, we could have a CBS forum just for Medium and Twitter and Facebook pages! Wouldn’t that be nice? Oh, wait. We’ve got them!!! You can follow the show on Twitter at @Medium_CBS.

Because of Season 5′s cliffhanger ending that had Allison DuBois in a coma with a shaved head, Patricia Arquette is sporting a new, short do. I think it suits her. It is nice to see some of the Medium gang together, isn’t it?

Oh, and check out her bling. Patricia Arquette and Sofia Vassilieva both have great taste in jewelry!

Ah, Jake Weber. I really don’t need to say any more, right?

Wow! Is this starlet at the CBS press tour party the same little girl we know and love on Medium? She is so grown up looking! I absolutely love those pretty earrings and the dress is gorgeous. I know a bunch of people are going to say the dress is too mature for her, but I’d rather have a young star wear something too sophisticated than have her show up in ugly dresses so short you can see what is (or isn’t) underneath. Sofia Vassilieva gets two thumbs up from me.
