We have a two-fer this week with this half-season finale. The City Hall in Providence where a former mayor's ghost is alleged to haunt the building makes up one part and then the team travels to New York to help a couple whose 4 year old grandson sees ghosts in their house.

I can understand the team traveling to New York. But, the description of this episode also stated that the team traveled to Rhode Island. Well, I guess that makes sense, they ARE on the road quite a bit so an investigation in their home state might be something they have to travel for.

This might really even be considered a three-fer as this is a much anticipated episode, but not because of where they go or what ghosts are alleged to haunt the places. The "tease" last week has set quite a bit of discussion off in many places with explanations ranging the whole length of possibilities:

• Someone has been caught faking evidence and is being kicked off the team
• TAPS is moving its headquarters to the Spalding (I guess that would explain tears)
• Someone has a serious illness and has to leave the team
• It was determined that someone was stealing stuff from homes they investigate (not likely, they don't investigate that many homes)
• Family troubles for a team member cause him to need to leave the show
• Amy lost her flashlight

None of these really seem plausible. The most likely (at least to me) explanation is the breach of contract lawsuit filed at the end of December against NBCU, SYFY, Pilgrim, and Jason. 

If (IF) this is the reason, it will be interesting to see how it is spun out for this next episode. The reason I don't think the faking evidence (or stealing stuff) have any merit whatsoever as a reason for the drama is because it would taint the show and trust would be gone (like it's in great supply to begin with) That being said, for the same reason I can't quite see them coming out and saying that they are being sued for theft of idea and breach of implied contract.

This could be a half-season that was cut short, too, since it's been
several seasons since the first half has only run for six episodes.  Cutting it short does leave some questions.

You can bet your last EMF meter that the upcoming script was written or at least okayed by their legal team and may be why I think it was shot in multiple takes (wrist bands seem to change size between scenes)

Or, this could all be because Steve saw another freakin' cricket or spider. Regardless, be sure to watch and see what really happens and how it happens.
