On their way to work Toby and Oz rescue a young woman, Anna Sokur from a fiery car crash, Toby is troubled by visions of her missing son Nicki. She is traumatised and frightened claiming to have been alone in the car, so Toby is unable to get her to share any information.

Anna disappears from the hospital and Olivia concerned about her condition asks Toby to go to her address, but she has taken flight desperate to find her son.

And as his own fears for the child's well-being increase, he realises he's going to have to act quickly. Toby goes to Nicki's child daycare center and finds a body in a nearby car.

Quotes

• Thoughts of Toby Logan

"Ever wonder what people are thinking? I don't, I know.

The secret isn't hearing peoples thoughts... The secret is making it stop.

I've been doing both for as long as I can remember, way before I heard the word telepath.

Still, when God hooks you up with free cable, you've gotta think he expects you to do a little surfing"

...."All my life I told myself, Turn it off, Shut it down, Make it go away....Today I broke the rule, I stopped looking the other way and I saw the truth...This isn't a curse, it's a gift"
