Plot summary
Johnny has a vision of a plague that starts with the children at a science fair. He and Walt must convince a skeptical health inspector and the CDC of his abilities to save everyone. He looks into the future and sees the cure weeks before its discovery. Note: In May 2020, a YouTube video highlighted apparently prescient similarities to the COVID-19 pandemic. Heavy.com noted "It’s no surprise that the episode is so similar to what we’re experiencing now, since SARS and SARS-CoV-2 are in the same family."
