Death lurks, and two teenage girls try to figure out where he's heading, in this sequel to the unexpected teen horror hit Final Destination. As Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), the only surviving passenger of the ill-fated Flight 180, waits in a mental institution, certain Death will claim her, Kim (A.J. Cook), who has begun to display precognitive powers, is driving along the highway when she sees a terrible accident in which several cars crash into a logging truck. Moments later, the horrible vision is gone, but Kim is certain she saw an accident that was supposed to happen but didn't...and now Death will track down the souls he meant to take that day who slipped through his fingers. A police officer, Thomas Burke (Michael Landes), believes there's a germ of truth in Kim's story, and teams her up with Clear in hopes that together they can help prevent Death from snuffing out any more of the people involves in the accident that wasn't. Tony Todd also returns from the first film as Mr. Bludworth. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Wounded by a stray bullet, Max (Jessica Alba) -- using the alias Linda Eastman -- is whisked off to Harbor Lights Medical Hospital. Knowing full well that knowledge of her unique DNA could be disastrous for herself and her fellow Manticore refugees, Max refuses to allow any testing of her blood. But unless another figure can intervene, her secret will soon be revealed to the world. And what of Max's nemesis White (Martin Cummins), whose behavior vis-à-vis the present situation is strange indeed? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Leading the transgen resistance, Max (Jessica Alba) finds an unexpected ally in C.J. (Henri Lubatti), who claims to have broken ranks with White's anti-transgen Familiars. Alas, it turns out that C.J. cannot be trusted -- and is far too close to White (Martin Cummins) for anyone's comfort. It might just be that the key to the many confusing plot points raised in this penultimate Dark Angel episode may rest with the curious runic "tattoos" that have begun appearing all over Max's body. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Doglike Manticore refugee Joshua (Kevin Durand) has befriended Annie Fisher (Kandyse McClure), a blind woman who does not fear him because she cannot see him. Meanwhile, public hostility against Joshua and his fellow transgens is fueled by White (Martin Cummins) and Mrs. Morehead (Gabrielle Rose). The hysteria reaches a fever pitch when it appears that Joshua has kidnapped Annie. To save her fellow transgen, Max (Jessica Alba) may have to break her vow to avoid Logan (Michael Weatherly) -- even if it means infecting Logan with her deadly virus. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Max (Jessica Alba) is being hunted down by her Manticore-generated clone, a character introduced at the end of Dark Angel's first season. Not surprisingly, this puts an added strain on the already shaky relationship between Max and Logan (Michael Weatherly). Elsewhere, Logan's effort to convince the public that the transgens are not wholly evil results in violence; and the fervently anti-transgen White (Martin Cummins) enters into a dark conspiracy with the "crusading" Senator McKinley (Paul Perri). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Dark Angel borrows a page from The Twilight Zone in this episode, set in the idyllic, picture-perfect town of Willoughby. That the community is too perfect to be true is demonstrated rather forcefully when Max (Jessica Alba) and Logan (Michael Weatherly) arrive in Willoughby, searching for Ray White (Brayden Bullen), son of their longtime nemesis Ames White (Martin Cummins). The climax involves a bizarre ritual and the omnipresence of White's burgeoning alternative-Manticore cult, The Familiars. And elsewhere, Max's pal Sketchy (Richard Gunn) is given an unusual assignment on his new job as tabloid reporter. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

One of the most formidable rivals of LutherCorp is Bob Rickman (Rick Peters), a crooked fertilizer mogul who has an uncanny ability to bend people's wills to his needs. It turns out that Rickman possesses the power to control minds with the touch of his hands. Upset and confused when his adoptive father, Jonathan Kent (John Schneider), agrees to sell the family farm to the covetous Rickman, Clark (Tom Welling) stumbles upon the reason that Jonathan was so pliable -- thereby bringing another person with awesome "persuasive" powers into the picture. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Max's (Jessica Alba) worst fears are realized when she inadvertently passes her virus to Logan (Michael Weatherly), leaving him near death. Frantically, a possible blood donor is sought out amongst the transgens -- but is anyone available, or even willing? As if this wasn't enough dramatic material for the episode, Alec (Jensen Ackles) is confronted with his evil doppelganger; White (Martin Cummins) foments a public witch hunt against the transgens; and the doglike Joshua (Kevin Durand) bonds with a blind woman named Annie Fisher (Kandyse McClure). As a bonus, this episode includes flashbacks excerpted from the first-season installment "Pollo Loco." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Freshly escaped from Manticore, Max (Jessica Alba) touches base with her inner-city pal Original Cindy (Valarie Rae Miller), who now knows that crusading journalist Logan (Michael Weatherly) is leading the "Eyes Only" resistance movement against the corrupt power structure. With Cindy's help, Max takes several of Manticore's youthful transgens under her wing, determined to protect them from the Manticore minions. Meanwhile, the sinister Ames White (Martin Cummins) intends to "correct" the mutant mistakes made by Manticore's Madame X -- through the simple expedient of killing them all, beginning with Max. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
