Vic is pretty sure she has some secrets he wants to know and plans to use his time at the FPMP to find out more about what is really going on. Not to mention get some more time with the ghost of Jennifer Chance. Working at the FPMP also gives Vic a chance to spend more time with Richie, a fellow medium from Vic’s Camp Hell days, as well as to meet other key players at the agency. Both men are determined to figure out who killed Roger and what Laura and Con’s roles might have been in his death. Considering Vic saw Con’s assistant Laura Kim at the site of the shooting and Roger’s ghost seemed to implicate her, Vic is pretty sure that the case has been solved, but apparently there is much more going on there than he expected. Jacob doesn’t talk much about what he does for the FPMP, but he eventually tells Vic he has been assigned to figure out who killed Roger Burke. The break actually comes at a good time, as Vic’s frustration with his job is at an all time high as he learns how many of his cases get overturned due to anti-psych bias by judges and juries. Not to mention that Vic still owns Con Dreyfuss an exorcism, and with Vic’s Ps圜ops parter Bob Zigler off at a funeral, Vic figures he might as well take care of that now. Victor Bayne has never wanted anything to do with the Federal Psychic Monitoring Program, but now that Jacob is working there, it is hard to ignore the place. |
