Who is the facially scarred "man in black" who has been stalking Johnny (
Anthony Michael Hall) throughout the past few episodes? It turns out that the mystery man, Christopher Wey (
Frank Whaley), has an important message from the future -- one that will profoundly alter the future of humanity. But Wey refuses to reveal the particulars of his prophecy unless Johnny agrees to prevent the seemingly unpreventable murders of Wey's wife (
Ione Skye) and daughter. This final episode of
The Dead Zone's second-season closes with the traditional cliffhanger, this time incorporating an ominous magazine cover. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
