Meghan got a 4400 ability, but I don't remember her being exposed to the virus. And if she was exposed to the virus, why did Tom need the shot since he had been around her already?

And were the shots of Richard and Isabelle in the opening sequence in the eppy I missed (The Ballad of Kevin and Tess) or did I miss them somewhere else?

Also, is NO ONE else worried that the increasingly rebellious Maia might, however briefly, turn on the promicin-immune Diana?!

I think you missed a scene or 2 if you didn't see half the people at NTAC dropping dead from the virus and looking at the sequence of events I don't think Tom was exposed.

Diana was given promicen by Kevin in one of last years episodes!

Yes, the virus spread to NTAC. Many people died, including one of Marco's geek buddies. Tom was at home, recovering from being Marked, being cured of being Marked, and being shot while he was Marked, so he wasn't exposed to the virus.

I'm not worried, but what do you mean "turn on Diana"?

I can see her being really rebelious--not that any teen is ever.....but not Turn on her.

I'm not worried, exactly, but I have always been concerned about Diana and Maia's relationship because Diana is so vehemently anti-promicin, and Maia is a 4400. And now Maia is firmly convinced that Jordan is the answer to her prayers and that with him in charge, she will be safe. Diana still thinks Jordan is the bad guy. Which one is right? Well, Maia is always right when it comes to her visions-Jordan has seemed to be a very important person to her since she had the vision of him dying way back in Season 2. If Maia wants to follow Jordan (and with the way the government treats 4400s who could blame her?) I could see some rough times ahead for her and Diana. After all, Diana works for the government that persecutes 4400s. It's like a person who adopted a black child working for the Ku Klux Klan. That's an extreme example, but sometimes extreme examples can be good for pointing up a problem.

That's what I mean. I can see her joining Jordan and going against Diana in that sense, but not completely turn against Diana. But the way it was worded was if she would turn on Diana and hurt her or something. That's what I wondered about. If Charity had meant it that way.

I could never see her doing that either. I would liken it to a child going to a different church. She loves Diana too much to throw it all away.

Maia would never hurt Diana, but she did sound like she was straight out of The Village of the Damned when she said, "We're in charge now." I could totally see her restricting Diana's freedom in some way, or thwarting Diana's efforts, if Diana were to move against Jordan in some significant way. So far Diana's bark has been much worse than her bite when it comes to Jordan-she hasn't really tried to do anything to him. And I think that Maia would see any harm to Jordan as a threat, not only to her own safety, but ultimately to Diana's safety as well. As long as Jordan is around, he will protect Maia, and by extension Diana, because Diana is important to Maia. I also think Jordan would love to recruit Diana-I can't see them as a couple, but it has always seemed to me that Jordan has a lot of respect for Diana.

I am not sure if anyone answered the original posters question about Meghan and I wish that I could but he/she asked when Meghan was exposed to the virus I don't remember seeing this either, she was with Tom when the others at Ntac were exposed and as someone else said Tom was never exposed so when was Meghan? It could have been when she went to ask for Kyle's help but what about when Tom, Diana, and Meghan were dishing out the responsibilities (Diana to see Danny, Tom to see marked, and Meghan to promise city) didn't anyone say he Meg you shouldn't go out there. Am I missing the moment she was exposed??????

I think the scene with Tom and Meghan was before all hell broke loose. It was towards the beginning. I guess they haven't gotten together yet. Meghan probably got it at NTAC when Garrity and his partner got back.

They never showed Meghan get exposed. But I did notice that she was using her right hand to write. wink.gif

This is why I'm confused! I'm pretty sure Diana was talking to Meghan when Garrity and his partner came back. The scene I see Meghan in is the one in which she's with Diana and Tom and decide where to go and what to do. So if Tom leaves and goes to wherever Isabelle is, I guess maybe there's a possibility that he's not close enough to the virus to get exposed while Meghan, heading towards Promise City, is, but I found it odd that they didn't clarify that ESPECIALLY since it was a way for Tom to become P+ (the way Kyle thinks he should be) without having to take the shot.

I think the show doesn't want Tom, one of the main characters of the show, to have an ability forced on him. I think they wanna show the guy we've followed since the first season make a concious choice of whether or not to take the shot.

ITA - it needs to be Tom's choice.
