Casualties of War - 
by J-Unit
A little later, April comes home and I am glad that she was able to finally build up some anger against her sister. She has a new tattoo and actually thanks Diana for helping her see who she really is. She's not the type of girl who hangs out with artists, OK, tattoo artists maybe, but you get the point. She likes spikes and studs, and fetish balls, and most of all, she hates her sister. Still, April is cool with Diana and Ben, and she even gives back their mother's engagement ring. Love triangle over? We hope.
One of the first things I had wondered about Ryland's promicin experiments was the apparent lack of side effects among the participants involved. Berkhoff had that horrible disfigured face during his treatments, and if there was one thing that would prevent me from taking the advice of a hot girl when it comes to injecting drugs into my body, the possibility of looking like Rocky Dennis is it. What we learned is that the promicin produced from Isabelle is much more pure than what Berkhoff was using so the horrible disfiguration should not occur. But I'm not saying that other side effects don't occur.
With Shawn in custody, I thought that it would be only a matter of time before he once again ratted out Jordan, but I was wrong. Shawn went to interrogation, but wouldn't give up the location of the promicin. For some reason, Jordan knew that Shawn would stay loyal, but he still had plans. Richard, on the other hand, wanted to cut and run. Better to destroy the promicin than be responsible for killing more people. When Jordan didn't agree with his plan, Richard decides to leave, but what can he do with all of those NOVA group members around? Well, he doesn't have to do anything, because he can move things with his mind, and he decides that he is going to break all of those vials of promicin before they can pass any of it out.
Richard's plan would have worked perfectly, but as the promicin vials were breaking, Richard still had that look of concentration/constipation/masturbation on his face, which meant that he had to be doing something. Before he broke too many of the vials, Tess got him with her mind control and stopped him.
Take a guess how Ryland acted when he learned what happened to Devon. I guess we now know what he was talking about when he said passing out the promicin was doing his job for them. He knew the dangers all along. Of the twenty men that he recruited for the mission, ten died from complications due to the injections. So why didn't he tell anybody how dangerous this promicin was once it was all stolen? Well, if people died because the 4400s gave them promicin, then Collier would have made a mistake, and Gods don't make mistakes, which is kind of debatable. If Gods don't make mistakes, then how do you explain how we had to wait so long for a Goonies sequel?
So now that they know how dangerous the promicin is, Jarvis tells Tom and Diana that they are going to "step up" the interrogation of Shawn. As you might have guessed, there are many good ways to use "step up" interrogation is probably not one of them. Tom decides that they can use Alana to get into his head, and although she said she would never do anything to harm another 4400, she decides that it is in Shawn's best interest to not have a car battery attached to his balls.
