- Attempting to conjure some courage, Mitch tracks down a reclusive 'chemist' in Mexico; Cissy heads up a citywide search team; Bill loses his feathered medium; Palaka's good-luck gift to Freddy ends up with Barry.
- Shawn's disappearance brings the residents of Imperial Beach together, They become a true community, with unity of purpose--to find Shawn. This sense of community awakens a sense of spirituality for many. The sense of community is echoed by first one ,then two ,then many stick figures in the messages being sent by John (or his Father). The residents of Imperial Beach who started out with the common thread of being alienated and disconnected suddenly find themselves strangely connected. Acts of kindness become the norm rather than the exception. John, who is strangely "inhuman" brings out the residents' humanity. Even in those whose original intentions may have not been the purest, one now sees the best in them (i.e. Linc). This episode also marks the appearance of a new character--"the Chemist" --who at this point is the only one not connected to the rest of the community.It is my hope that this series will be renewed because there is little doubt that it is one of the finest on television. It is at once intelligent, mysterious, creative, spititual, uplifting and enriching.
