The 4400: As Fate Would Have It
Maia foresees Jordan Collier’s assassination and NTAC springs to action to provide protection. Collier rejects their advice after ‘consulting’ baby Isabelle and ends up being shot, apparently by Kyle Baldwin! The main sidebars to Collier’s assassination are that Shawn is called out by Kimmy as a fake when he claims that he can’t heal everyone, because it would be too draining.
With the death and ‘resurrection’ of Collier, many questions arise. Collier tells Shawn that Isabelle lies—in general or just to him? Did the baby really tell Collier to go through with the celebration, and if so, why? What purpose does Collier’s death serve for Isabelle and does she act on behalf of the 4400? Who orchestrated Collier’s death—someone human-present (possibly Collier himself or those opposed to him) or someone human-future (controlled by the 4400)? If the 4400 are involved, then how do Kyle’s blackouts work and who is really responsible?
The absence of Collier’s body brings even more connection between Jesus and Collier, but his actions are far from pure. Having been ‘really dead,’ based on Shawn’s inability to bring him back, the absence of his body offers the option of ‘conspiracy theory,’ i.e., a body moved or a staged death, or the possibility that Collier came back from death. A woman working at the 4400 runs to tell Shawn and Tom that the body has disappeared, similar to the events of Jesus’ resurrection.
All that is clear when the dust settles is that Shawn has taken over the 4400. He appears to be pure of heart and was groomed by Collier to take over in the event that Collier was no longer able to run the Centers….one question remains: is Collier a mastermind or a martyr?
