This episode offers Melinda and Jim a respite from the daily grind of Grandview. No Eli, no Delia, no Ned. Just the two of them on a cruise whose ship is scheduled to be sold and turned to scrap. A moment of peace before Jim meets his fate two episodes later.
The conflict is based on misinterpretation; the ghost witnesses her beloved with another woman on board and jumps to the wrong conclusion. That she was there surreptitiously leads to her death. Now with him on board again, as owner of the ship, she seeks to take revenge on his perceived infidelity. Given 45 minutes to present the story, it still moves at a snail's pace to resolution.
What really stands out is the number of other ghosts on board who will finally enter the light. Special mention should be made of the humor provided by Katharine LaNasa as Betty, who refuses to leave, thus assuring the ship will continue to be haunted even after it is dry-docked and turned into a museum, offering Adam and Amy, the Ghost Hunters, or the Haunted Collector a chance to rediscover her.
