Casualties of War - 
by J-Unit
By the time the two of them get to NTAC, it is already too late. Ryland comes in with a piece of paper saying he is taking over the interrogation, and he's pretty sure his new guy will get results. And his new guy is actually a girl; that's right, Isabelle is doing the interrogation. Having Isabelle mad at you is scary enough, but Shawn is especially screwed. Although she was quite understanding at the time, Shawn effectively left her at the altar, and that's not something anybody is going to forget. Therefore, the gloves come off when she is interrogation Shawn. It doesn't take long to get the information she needed, but Shawn was nearly dead afterwards.
Shawn did give up the information to Isabelle, more through 4400 ability coercion than his own free will, but whatever the case; it led Isabelle and Ryland to the warehouse where Collier stashed all the promicin. Everybody has left except for Jordan Collier, who apparently stuck around to protect the promicin. Finally! We're going to see if Jordan is more than all talk. When he first met Isabelle, he said that he wasn't afraid of her, but maybe he should have been. She knocks him over with barely any effort, and then we see that it wasn't really Jordan Collier at all. It was Boyd Gelder, and he had a message for Isabelle. It went a little something like this...
KABOOM!
All of that promicin the government thought they were looking at was fake, and Boyd Gelder was there as a suicide Bomber, and there was enough binary explosive to literally blow up the whole warehouse. Ryland was outside when this happened, and when he came to, the only thing he could see, after he picked himself up off of the pavement, was Isabelle walking out of the warehouse. I don't think anybody was really surprised to see her come out of it unscathed, but for Isabelle, this time was different. It wasn't so much that Jordan Collier tried to kill her, Boyd pretending to be Jordan Collier tried to kill her, but it was the idea that somebody out there actually thought that she could be hurt.
Isabelle makes her way over to the center, but Collier is not there. He and his people have been busy making little care packages of promicin. He's using the always effective homeless work force to get the word out. Not since Kramer and Newmann started their rickshaw business has a person used transient labor so effectively. That being said, I still don't think Collier is doing enough to let people know that half of the people who take the treatments aren't going to be waking up again.
So, what did Isabelle find when she got to the 4400 center? Well, she decided to head to the children's classroom. Killing off children is pretty bad, complicated by the fact that Maia is in class. The last time we saw her, she was still in a fight with her mom about the school, but I guess she decided it was better than finding a baby sitter or whatever, because she was back in class. Unfortunately, she picked a bad day to return, and although it looked like Isabelle didn't recognize Maia as the daughter of an NTAC agent, Maia could only watch as Isabelle decided that the first person to go would be her friend Amy.
Maia gets up like she is going to leave, and then Isabelle asks her if she wants to be first instead. And then Maia says, "What you're trying to do is not going to work.” Isabelle sort of stares at Maia, but before she can figure out what she said, and even before I can think to myself "Oh Maia can see the future, this is good", we hear shots fired. Diana and Tom to the rescue! They had heard about the warehouse explosion and went to investigate. Ryland told them about Isabelle's plans, and they immediately drove over to the 4400 center.
I think we could all see what was coming next. Tom knew the shots Dian fired would not be enough to kill Isabelle, but it might be enough to stun her and give him a chance to stick the needle in. But by the time he gets out the syringe and attempts to plunge it in her neck, it is already too late. Isabelle is recovered, and she is going to make Tom pay for what he did. Oh well, I guess Tom and Diana can be happy knowing they saved a bunch of kids from the horrible deaths they were about to experience, because nothing could save them now, or could it?
