Ep 4. The Outsider

Johnny Smith, a man who was in a coma for six years after a car accident, continues to have psychic visions of both present and future events. In Season 2 Episode 4, titled "The Outsider," Johnny is called upon by a woman named Tracy, who believes that her boss is somehow involved in a string of murders. Tracy's boss, a wealthy businessman named Samuelson, recently acquired a struggling lumber mill, but when the locals start turning up dead, she suspects that he may be involved.

Johnny agrees to help Tracy, and he starts by visiting the lumber mill and speaking with the employees. He's shocked to find that they all seem to be under some sort of spell, speaking in monotone voices and repeating the same phrases over and over again. Johnny is convinced that something is not right, and he starts to dig deeper into the mystery.

As Johnny investigates further, he realizes that there is an "outsider" involved in the killings - someone who is not from the town and who has somehow managed to sway the minds of the locals. Johnny tracks down the outsider, a mysterious woman who goes by the name of "The Collector," and he's shocked to learn that she has the ability to steal people's memories and manipulate their thoughts.

With the help of Tracy, Johnny hatches a plan to take down The Collector and bring an end to the killings. But as they attempt to confront her, things quickly spiral out of control. The Collector is powerful, and she seems to have an almost supernatural ability to control the minds of those around her.

As the episode reaches its climax, Johnny finds himself face-to-face with The Collector, and he must use all of his psychic abilities to try and stop her. With time running out and the lives of the townspeople hanging in the balance, Johnny must make a split-second decision that could have dire consequences.

Overall, "The Outsider" is an intense and suspenseful episode of The Dead Zone that showcases Johnny's psychic abilities in a whole new light. With a compelling mystery, a cast of unique characters, and a tense showdown that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats, this episode is a must-watch for fans of the show.
