Ep 14. Plague

In Dead Zone season 2 episode 14, titled "Plague," Johnny Smith is plagued by visions of a deadly virus that threatens to wipe out an entire community. When a flu-like illness strikes a small town, Johnny is called in to use his psychic abilities to find the source of the outbreak and prevent it from spreading. As he delves deeper into the mystery, Johnny realizes that there may be more to the illness than meets the eye and that he may have to make a difficult decision in order to save the lives of countless people.

The episode opens with Johnny having a vision of a young girl in a hospital bed, writhing in pain as doctors and nurses try in vain to save her life. He awakens from the vision, drenched in sweat and feeling ill himself. When he turns on the news, he learns that a mysterious illness has struck a nearby town, killing several people and causing widespread panic.

As Johnny and his friend Bruce investigate the outbreak, they discover that the virus is highly contagious and spreads quickly from person to person. They also learn that the local hospital is overrun with patients and understaffed, making it nearly impossible for doctors to keep up with the demand for treatment.

With the help of his psychic visions, Johnny is able to identify the source of the outbreak - a man who has been infected with a rare virus that he brought back from a trip overseas. Johnny tracks down the man and convinces him to come forward and get treatment, but not before the virus has already spread to dozens of other people.

As the town descends into chaos and the death toll rises, Johnny is forced to make a difficult decision - to quarantine the entire town and risk inciting widespread panic, or allow the virus to continue spreading unchecked. With the help of his friends and allies, Johnny makes the bold move to isolate the town and stop the virus from spreading any further.

In the end, Johnny's intuition and quick thinking saves countless lives and brings the outbreak under control. As he reflects on the experience, he realizes that his psychic abilities come with great responsibility and that he must use them wisely in order to make the world a better place. The episode ends on a hopeful note, with Johnny ready to face whatever challenges come his way in the future.
