READY TO OPEN HERSELF UP TO NEW POSSIBILITIES, MONICA HIRES A PERSONAL ASSISTANT AND GOES ON A BLIND DATE, ON AN ALL-NEW EPISODE OF 'MONICA THE MEDIUM' AIRING MONDAY, MAY 16

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

Feeling overwhelmed, Monica vows to make some major changes in her life on an all-new episode of "Monica the Medium," airing MONDAY, MAY 16 (10:00-11:00 p.m., EDT), on Freeform.

Monica is stressed out over trying to balance her time between school, readings and a social life. At the end of her rope, she hires Krista as her personal assistant. Their first order of business is to go office hunting so Monica can do her one-on-one readings in private. Within minutes of looking at one location, Monica is overwhelmed by multiple spirits, who have all come through for one of the women showing her the space.

Meanwhile, Monica reads three friends who have all lost special women in their lives. One of the girls is startled when Monica brings forth her mother and mentions the handwritten letters she left behind for her daughter.

Later, Kirsten sets Monica up on a blind date, but she and Kayla don't think Monica should tell him she's a medium. It turns out to be a promise Monica can't keep when she ends up giving Tyler a reading.

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