Not all of the 4400 realize that they have powers right away. Some are just beginning to learn that they have some sort of gift. One of those people is Gary Navarro (played by Sharif Atkins of er fame), a baseball player who was taken in 1973. He made it back to the minors, and after a little bit of a hot streak, he has the attention of some scouts, some of them who may want him to join the big leagues. The only problem is that Navarro has a lot of people telling him what to do and he can't block them out of his head, which is understandable, because now he can read minds.

I know what you're saying, mind reading would be cool. You could find out what your coworkers are thinking about you, determine if your friends really like your jokes or are just laughing to be polite, and my personal favorite, to find out if that girl likes you for your personality, your gorgeous looks, or your modesty. And in the beginning, it was OK for Navarro as well. He could hear what the catcher or pitcher was thinking before anything happened, and was always prepared for the next pitch. Unfortunately, sometimes things go too far, and you can't block out what anybody is saying, like Mel Gibson in "What Women Want." Everything you hear is driving you crazy.

After going crazy on a baseball scout, Gary decides to seek some help from NTAC. Diana and Tom are assigned to the case, of course, and although they don't really believe him at first, they see he is telling the truth. Case closed, get the kid some help, right? If for nothing else than the fact that Sharif Atkins is really over-acting during the times when he is supposed to be going crazy, they should do something. He is taking some anti-psychosis medicine that seems to help him concentrate on only one voice, so with a little work, maybe he can learn to control what is happening to him.
