Suffer the Children
Premiered June 26, 2005
LOGLINE:
Tom and Diana investigate a 4400 junior high school teacher accused of child abuse.
SYNOPSIS:
Back after 30 years, 4400 junior high school teacher Heather Tobey has unearthed her ability as a muse to bring out virtuoso-level talent in art and music in certain students. Although seen as an amazing feat by most of the parents in the community, a small minority find her skill threatening - and a possible danger to their children. These malcontents bring up charges of child abuse against Heather in order to bar her from teaching, and one of the students poses a different kind of threat to Heather when she fails to find the light inside of him. Meanwhile, Richard is caught off-guard when he is recognized as an "AWOL 4400" and arrested by a police officer, but in the end receives help from an unlikely source: Jordan Collier; Shawn gets involved with a group of homeless teenage runaways; and Kyle's episodes of lost time become more frequent.
