Miracles: The Patient

« prev episode next » episode

A doctor's work with a patient suffering from a paralyzing disease yields unusual results when it appears that the patient can suddenly communicate through his computer. The patient, Sherwood Nichols, displays remarkable abilities and knowledge about curing the disease. The doctor's daughter, Raina, is both intrigued and alarmed by these findings, and enlists Paul's aid in discovering the truth about what it going on. Paul and Alva determine the patient is possessed by an entity, a demon who calls himself "Mr. Friendly". In the guise of Sherwood, this creature convinces the doctor to knock Paul out and overdose the other patients. Alva shuts down the patient's life support long enough to drive the entity out. Later in the hospital, the doctor reveals that his desperation to cure the disease resulted from Raina's death of the same disease two years earlier. Read full recap »

When Keel takes a picture of the patient, it shows him sitting in one position. When it shows the "same" picture later, he's in a different position. edit »

Raina jokes casually with Paul when she finds him parked in front of his house, "Here's to hoping you're just wicked shy and not a serial killer." One of the most memorable roles that Skeet Ulrich has played, to date, is a psychotic serial killer in the 1996 movie Scream. edit »
In "previously on Miracles," this episode shows clips from "The Ferguson Syndrome," and not "The Friendly Skies." This is to show how this one and the first one are linked, such as with Mr. Friendly mentioning Tommy's sacrifice in order for Paul to live. edit »

Alva: (to Paul) In terms of handling the darkness, I was just wondering is it everyone you're worried about or just you? edit »
Paul: I guess I'm drawn to the dark corner of things.
Raina: How come? What are you looking for in all of that dark?
Paul: I keep hoping that I'll see some light.
Raina: Maybe you're not looking hard enough. edit »
Raina: You keep looking for that light. You'll find it.
Paul: (slight pause) Can I kiss you?
Raina: Please. edit »
Alva: I have just one question. Do you have a name?
Sherwood/Mr. Friendly: They call me "Mr. Friendly."
Alva: (Unplugging Sherwood's respirator) Goodbye, Mr. Friendly. edit »
Sherwood/Mr. Friendly: Oh sure - shove a cripple. edit »
