MONICA'S NEW ROOMMATES STRUGGLE WITH HER GIFTS, PARTICULARLY WHEN SHE SPONTANEOUSLY READS ONE OF THEM, ON AN ALL-NEW EPISODE OF 'MONICA THE MEDIUM,' AIRING MONDAY, MAY 9

Produced by Dave Caplan's Trooper Entertainment in Association With Lionsgate

Kayla and Kirsten are settling in with Monica and Krista, but both girls are still nervous about Monica's gifts on an all-new episode of "Monica the Medium," airing MONDAY, MAY 9 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on Freeform.

To celebrate Kirsten and Kayla moving in, the girls decide to throw a housewarming party. While out shopping for party supplies, both girls make it clear that they are nervous about Monica's abilities. But when Monica spends time alone with Kirsten, Spirit comes forth loud and clear and Kirsten reluctantly agrees to hear the messages. Even though Kirsten has a positive reaction, Kayla remains spooked and does not want Monica to ever read her.

Meanwhile, Monica decides to go car shopping. At her first stop, she meets a pair of friends who both have relatives come through. One of the friends, Nicholas, is especially touched when he discovers his grandfather loves him for who he is and is proud of the man he's become.

Later, when she goes to a car lot, she ditches the salesman to talk to a mother and daughter who have lost their husband/father. Although she doesn't buy a car, Monica's clear details give the women closure and healing.

The show is produced by Dave Caplan's Trooper Entertainment in association with Lionsgate TV. Caplan will serve as executive producer alongside Malachi McGlone.
