Guest Stars:
Christopher Masterson (Todd Paley) Kristen Dalton (Dana Bright) Michael Puttonen (Coach Foley) Ken Camroux-Taylor (Doc Cooper) Chad McMillan (Calhoun) Alvin Sanders (Principal Pelson) Sandra Ferns (Mrs. Paley) Ted Cole (Mr. Bill Paley) Anna Hagan (Vera Smith)
The story is about Johnny's attempt to return to teaching, and Todd is one of his students, a hockey player. Johnny has an incredible vision that suggests the player might have a serious heart condition but there's no medical evidence to support him. So, in one sense, it's a story of Johnny's powers versus modern medicine. In another, it's about Johnny's hope of reclaiming some part of the life he lost before the accident that sent him into a coma.

Pleasantly surprised to see the eldest brother from Malcolm in the Middle, Francis, as a major guest star in this episode.
The first thing that struck me that this is one sexy titles sequence in the show. Lots of special effects that bring to mind the opening sequence of Fight Club, and some spiffy looking shots from the show itself. Yum.
The epsiode itself had the story with the kid as the "A" plot, and Johnny's ongoing efforts to re-integrate himself into society as the "B" plot. On balance, the secondary part was more interesting. How people react to him is interesting, if a little (lot) cliched. The report is a walking stereotype, and I find it hard to imagine her actually becoming likeable enough for Johnny to want to actually sleep with her at some point.
My single most favourite part - while discussing his esp with Todd, the kid asks whether he can do a "mind meld" - LMAO!
Confused about what is going on with the ex-girlfriend. They are flirting as if something might happen, but that just doesn't seem likely.
4 stars.
