The season premiere finds Johnny still shaken by his Armageddon visions and growing increasingly obsessed with Stillson, whom he's secretly following to try and gain further visions.

Johnny eventually tracks the missing boy and the kidnapper, Ritter - the owner of a small company that the CEO bought out. Ritter tells Johnny that Smith is Daniel the prophet and he has to save the world by helping it to save itself, before killing himself in a police gunfight. Meanwhile, Stilson takes a sexual interest in Sarah Bannerman.

While saving a young boy, Johnny is severely injured in the process. He is rushed to the hospital where he is given a blood transfusion after suffering from internal bleeding. When Johnny awakens, he is shocked to find out that the mother of the boy he saved is suing him for reckless endangerment. But, what blows his mind is that he starts experiencing the daily lives of the six donors through visions as a result of the transfusion that he received. Dr. Gibson tells him that this will only be temporary and that it should go away in about a month when their blood filters out of his system.

It isn't easy because each person is experiencing what is perceived to be a life-threatening situation.

The situation looks grim because time is running out and they haven't figure out what the cause of the one donor's death will be so that they could prevent it. Then Johnny realizes through a vision that by Bruce and him attempting to help these people get through what seems to be their darkest hour, they have set a series of events in motion that once again intertwines the lives of the donors for a moment to save the bicycle messenger from being hit by a car.

This seems to be a joke commenting on the movie receiving a very mix response from both critics and Star Trek fans.

b: 06-Jul-2003 pc: 2014 w: Michael Piller s: Laura J. Burns & Melinda Metz and Michael Piller d: Michael Robison


NOTE: On 06-Jul-2003, this episode was the first of the series to be broadcast in "letterbox" format; the aspect ratio is (1.85:1).
• Michael Piller took the idea of a mysterious tornado from a similar incident that occurred at Lake Cobbosseecontee, Maine in 1998.
• This episode marks the premiere of the extended summer second season, nicknamed by fans as Season 2.5. "Dead Zone" castmember, John L. Adams (Bruce) wrote in his "behind the scenes" column on the official website that producers referred to these summer episodes as "The Sexy Summer Six." The unaired episode, "The Hunt" was later added into the schedule.
• Frank Whaley is credited on-screen, reflecting the first of several appearance he'll be making up to the season finale where he plays a major role. The USA Network website doesn't credit him, presumably to keep the exact nature of his role a secret.
• Much confusion originally arose over whether this episode was the start of a new season - even after USA and various other sources stated the last six episodes would just be a continuation of season 2, on-air commercials continued to refer to an "all-new season of The Dead Zone."

NOTE: Originally scheduled to air March 30, 2003. This episode seems to have been taken off the Season 2 schedule because of the war with Iraq.

• The episode was originally entitled "The Hunt for Osama."
• This episode aired in Latin America on channel AXN on Wednesday: June 11, 2003. During the episode there was a shot of the U.S.S. Enterprise, probably an inside joke. The show aired again at 2 a.m. and at 2 p.m. the following day, with another repeat on Sunday at 5 p.m.
• Due to USA Network concerns, Osama bin Laden is never mentioned by name on-screen.

b: 17-Aug-2003 pc: 2019 w: Craig Silverstein d: Michael Robison


NOTE: Season 2 Finale
• This is the third (and largest) appearence of the mysterious man that appears in Johnny's visions. (First being "The Storm", and the second being "The Mountain")
• Actually, it's the fourth appearance - the mysterious man also appeared in "The Combination."
• Frank Whaley (Christopher Wey) and Ione Skye (Madeleine Wey) previously appeared together in the 1998 movie "Went to Coney Island on a Mission From God... Be Back by Five." That movie uses a lot of interwoven flashbacks and past-present mixtures, just like The Dead Zone.
