Season 1
1. Wheel of Fortune (Original airdate June 16, 2002)
Johnny Smith was leading an idyllic small-town life: working as a high school
science teacher, engaged to the love of his life, Sarah, and being a devoted son
to his widowed mother, Vera, who lives nearby. But after a near-fatal car
accident puts him in a deep coma, Johnny awakens six years later to find
everything has changed: Sarah is now is married to someone else, local sheriff
Walt Bannerman; the child they are raising is actually Johnny's son and knows
nothing about his real father; and Johnny's mother Vera has passed away, leaving
Johnny's finances under the thumb of Reverend Purdy, an influential religious
leader who is also his mother's former lover. But, most importantly, Johnny
himself has changed: he now finds himself with the gift (or curse) of second
sight. Through visions he sees with a simple touch, he becomes responsible for
saving a nurse's little girl from a fire, helping his Vietnamese doctor reunite
with the mother he thought was killed during the fall of Saigon, and now must
prevent a local serial killer from striking again. Now Johnny is faced with the
daunting task of coming to grips with his new powers - and navigating his way
through his new life.
2. What It Seems (Original airdate June 23, 2002)
Johnny, certain that nurse Allison will be the Bangor Strangler's next victim,
enlists the help of his physical therapist and new friend Bruce to try and stop
the murder. He also clashes with Penobscot County Sheriff Walt Bannerman, who is
uncomfortable with Johnny's sudden appearance in his life. Nevertheless, Walt
pays Johnny's powers some heed by letting him touch a piece of evidence. Johnny
has a vision in which he enters the mind of the serial killer and, to his
horror, learns what it feels like to kill. Allison eventually turns up very much
alive, having been out of town for a couple of days, and Johnny becomes a
laughing stock. However, Bruce, in his infinite Zen wisdom, helps Johnny see
what really happened: Allison actually managed to elude the killer - but the
killer eventually chose another victim.
3. Quality of Life (Original airdate June 30, 2002)
The story is about Johnny's attempt to return to teaching, and Todd is one of

player might have a serious heart condition but there's no medical evidence to

medicine. In another, it's about Johnny's hope of reclaiming some part of the
life he lost before the accident that sent him into a coma.
4. Enigma (Original airdate July 7, 2002)

Abby at the Stage Door Canteen before going off to fight in World War II, but
when he returned from the war, she had vanished. Arthur is sure he spotted Abby
recently in New York, so Johnny travels to The Big Apple to search for her.
Johnny becomes increasingly enchanted by Abby in the visions he has of her as a
young woman. He sees her through the eyes of Tommy, an old buddy of Arthur's who
had a secret affair with Abby. It turns out their affair produced a child, which

own and claims that Walt won't escape him as Johnny did. Johnny's link is
