Ep 6. The House

Johnny Smith, the main protagonist of Dead Zone, appears in The House episode. He has the power to see the future and past of people and things through physical contact. In this episode, Johnny is called upon by Sheriff Walt Bannerman, his friend, to assist with a high-priority case.

The case involves a missing child, a young girl named Sarah Bracknell. Her father, who is a wealthy businessman, hires Johnny to help locate her. Johnny is hesitant as he doesn't want to meddle in others' affairs, but he is persuaded by both the sheriff and the father's offer of monetary compensation.

Johnny realizes that Sarah is not missing voluntarily but has been taken away by someone with malicious intentions. He gets his first vision, a blur image of a house, and sets out to search for it. Johnny is sure that the house is significant to the case and that it would give him a clue to the child's whereabouts.

While on his search, he gets hired to work as a gardener with the Walker family living in the local suburbs. The Walkers are a typical suburban family - the father is a workaholic, the mother stays at home and looks after the house and kids, and the children are in high school. Johnny starts working for them and soon realizes that the house in his vision is the Walkers' house. He decides to continue working with them to investigate.

As Johnny delves deeper, he uncovers the dark secrets and hidden desires of the Walker family. Mrs. Walker reveals to Johnny that her marriage is on the brink of collapse, and Mr. Walker has been having an affair. Johnny also discovers that the Walkers' teenage son, Chris, has a sinister side and a violent streak, which is directed toward his sister. Johnny is alarmed by his visions of Chris, which involve him potentially hurting his little sister.

Things become more complicated when Sarah's kidnapper contacts Johnny with a ransom demand via his visions. The kidnapper, who is aware of Johnny's ability to see the future, instructs him not to get involved and threatens Johnny's life.

With this new information, Johnny realizes that he doesn't have much time left before the kidnapper follows through with his threats. He resumes his investigation and deduces that Chris is the kidnapper, and Sarah is being held captive in the Walker's house.

Johnny confronts Chris and finds Sarah, but his confrontation set off a chain of deadly events that he has no control over. Johnny's visions couldn't predict the future accurately this time, and he must race against time to protect Sarah and the Walkers from danger.

The episode ends with a cliffhanger, and viewers are left wondering about the consequences of Johnny's actions.

In conclusion, The House episode of Dead Zone is a riveting supernatural drama that showcases Johnny's investigative abilities.
