MONICA STRESSES OUT OVER FINALS AND CONTEMPLATES QUITTING SCHOOL ALL TOGETHER ON AN ALL-NEW EPISODE OF ABC FAMILY'S "MONICA THE MEDIUM," AIRING TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20 AT 8:00 P.M. ET/PT

Burbank, CA (October 2, 2015) - Monica is nervous about whether or not she passed her final exam and contemplates quitting school on an all-new episode of "Monica the Medium," airing Tuesday, October 20th (8:00 p.m., ET/PT) on ABC Family.

Monica panics as she crams for her final exam for the year. She finds it harder and harder to study when she has so many people to read all the time. The pressure leads her to contemplate quitting school all together - a decision her roommates and family are firmly against. But if she knows what she wants to do with her life, is school really necessary?

Meanwhile, Monica connects a daughter to her mom, a family with their father/husband, and two girls with their relatives. Plus, Monica goes on a horseback riding date with Mitch.

Monica the Medium follows Monica, a college junior navigating friends, family, relationships - and the fact that she's a medium and can talk to dead people. Her uncommon vocation provides an endless supply of emotional and engaging stories, with a unique millennial perspective. The show is produced by Dave Caplan's Trooper Entertainment in association with Lionsgate TV. Caplan will serve as executive producer alongside Malachi McGlone.
