So, if that girl is Kyle's ability isn't it possible she is the one who shot Collier?

Also, does anyone else think Cassie looks an awful lot like Diana's sister April?

I think maybe Isabelle's blood will kill those who take Promicin and get abilities. That was what they tested for. Her blood made the Promicin in the first place. The government dark suits want to eliminate all those who get abilities and Isabelle will be how they try to do.

If they were just going to give the autistic kid the inhibitor, why was it necessary to change him?

yes, shawn did try to heal someone who took promicin (devon) and it didn't work. i believe it was in the last or second to last ep. of season 3.

i had a feeling that cassie was kyle's ability as soon as she said he was the shaman.

isabelle...ehh, i wish they would've killed her off @ the end of last season.

hope jordan's in next week's episode!

I can't quite place the actor who played Mr. Powell (the autistic child's father). Does anyone know who he is?

I'm not the parent of, well, any kind of a child, so I can't speak from that perspective, but I didn't see them curing Brandon of autism as a way to rid him of the autism - it was something they did to help him learn to control his ability so he wasn't accidentally scaring the living daylights out of people.

If they had taken an autistic kid to Shawn to be cured simply because they didn't want an autistic kid, I dunno - I guess I could understand the desire to do that, but I can also see why it might be disturbing to some people. But I didn't feel like the episode was demeaning autistic kids or implying that autistic children are somehow defective - it was done as a safety measure to keep him from being too dangerous to live at home, with his family. YMMV

I have a kid with Asperger's, too. I feel the same was you do (so does he). Can't imagine what it's like to have a classic autistic. Not at all cool to leave the mom in the dark. 50% chance of death?

royally screwed up comment 8 - retyping it:

I didn't THINK Shawn could heal people who were dying from taking promicin? I thought the 4400 secretary chick from last season took it at the end of the season and she died from it and Shawn couldn't heal her. Sent him over the edge because WAS part of the cheerleading squad for her to take it?

Thought maybe that is WHY Shawn was apprehensive about his brother taking it - he wouldn't be able to heal him if he was one of the unfortunate 50%.

Maybe I am wrong.

I was suprised about Kyle's power and for the first time, truly intrigued. When we first met Miss Red-Head, I thought she was a 4400 who would tell him what his power was. Then I thought he had the ability to see the dead. Then she tells him he's a Shaman, and I thought, "She's a looney!" To find out she WAS his ability peeks my interest. I have no idea how this will unfold, whether she is his inner voice, whether she's an external influence, whether she is a physical manifestation of future events or something else entirely.
Regarding Isabelle - I'm sure hoping the writers are going to keep her powers gone, because if not, whoever has written her current storyline needs to be fired. Manuvering her into a low-security facility, blandly telling her if she took promiacine she'd die and her powers were gone forever... As it stands, her neutralized-threat-stance is being renegotiated in an extremely clumsy manner. Introduce a new threat or get creative in how to restore Isabelle's scariness.
