Summary: Everyone on Earth is excited about a comet passing by, but as soon as its trajectory changes to a collision course, everyone starts to panic. The comet turns out to be a giant ball of light that, after exploding, leaves behind 4400 people. They are missing persons who have been gone from a few months to 60 years, and none have aged a day. The 4400 are put in quarantine and eventually released. Some of the returnees begin to exhibit strange and uncontrollable new abilities. Tom Baldwin and Diana Skouris, two Homeland Security agents, are appointed to find out what happened to the 4400.

Episode Quotes

MISTAKES/GOOFS
- FACT: The whole missiles-fired-at-comet part is wrong: the missiles are shown to impact their target mere seconds (or at most minutes, if we give continuity some slack) after launch. Later, we see the comet fly past the Moon towards Earth. It would take even the fastest rockets at least hours, and more realistically 1-2 days to get there, and standard ballistic missiles can't do it at all. Additionally, the comet is stated to travel at 3,000 km/s, which would bring it to earth in less than two minutes instead of the stated half hour. It would also be very, very hard to hit by missile at all at that speed.
- FAKE: The little girl Maia is collecting flowers in the woods. The flowers are clearly already cut with scissors or a knife and stuck loosely in the moss.
- FACT: The sound of the exploding missiles can be heard as they strike the comet. Since light travels faster then sound, it would be quite some time before the sound would reach earth.
