Back at HQ, they're watching the DVD, and it's the same guy we saw dead from the original scene.

He's talking directly to PJ. With the sincerity of Kurt Cobain, he's saying he doesn't know who she works for but maybe she can help change the inevitable. Maybe he doesn't have to die. Maybe 3M won't have to die, and maybe, just maybe, she can help avert all the other disasters he's seen.

"I can't stop them, but maybe you can. ... Please don't come after me. Keep your team away. It's the only way to save their lives and mine."

Vasco mentions Brian to Maureen, who doesn't look put out that PJ's going out with anyone. Let's wave the lip-lock fantasy between the two bye-bye. Apparently Painkiller Jane is bisexual in the comic book the show is based on, Loken's open about her homosexuality in real life, and has done a few well-received star turns in HBO's The L Word, where the L word is seven letters and rhymes with lesbian. Anyway, that's the skinny on the street.

Temple's Vascoesque Voiceover: You know, sometimes information just becomes information I don't need, baggage that becomes unwieldy to even the seasoned TV traveler. Live and learn, but a lot of things just aren't important to understand a TV show. And seriously, why IS Hasselhoff popular in Germany?

Thursday, 8:53 a.m.

Riley's been "tracking" weird calls about a being able to know what's happening in the future. The police apprehended the guy after an airport scare but let him go. Not before the dirty media took video footage. Gulp. It's the same guy on the DVD. Turns out his name is Ethan Grant. Gulp. Vasco shows them the DVD message. Coincidence? Nope.

McBride wants to stop Grant from being able to see the disastrous end of lives. With a glint in her eye, PJ points out that rather obvious aside, that "3 of You Will Die" if they all go after him, a suspected Neuro. Why go after him, PJ asks. "No crimes have been committed and in fact he's saving people's lives. Why assume he's trying to hurt anyone?"

"Because he can," McBride snarls in return, adding that being able to figure out presidential motorcade routes and the final season of Lost in advance can do great damage to the country.

A little Riley Nerd juice dribbles on the keyboard and they've found the poor boy's sister's apartment and head over for gin and juice. They have to settle for coffee and cookies, though. Sarah Grant, 403 Morningside Lane is the fair one's address.

We see Ethan suffering from information overload. We see him sitting in front of TV screen, with images flashing and tumbling around him. He seems to be filtering a lot of visions to detect the worse. But he still knows people are dying.
