John is hit by lightning on his chest-brand and can see in color andmdash; going to see a fresh body, John realizes he's also lost access to his vast supply of knowledge and all the physical talents it provided. It's not a good time as a hugger strikes, leaving a kidney from his victim with the promise of more to come. The hugger strikes again with two huggings as John tries to come to terms with his newfound ignorance and the loss of his money when he can't call the shots for his broker. John is bitter and reluctant to admit his newfound loss to anyone, and a disappointed hugger threatens to come after him. It turns out that two women, sisters, are working as the huggers and lure John into a trap andmdash; fortunately John figured the hugger(s) were women and he'd be targeted and the police have him wired and are watching. While pursuing one of the huggers John is hit with electricity again and is back to being color-blind and super-smart.

John Doe Show Summary

The series is about the life of John Doe, a mysterious man who rises from the primordial waters of an isolated island, possessing knowledge of literally everything in the world, yet having no memory of who andmdash; or even what andmdash; he is. Doe quickly finds his way to Seattle, where he befriends the police and uses his special gift to help them solve 'impossible' crimes each week, while continuing his unending quest to uncover who he is and where he came from. Despite his considerable charm, Doe is an emotional island unto himself. Want to know the population of Peru in 1853? How many blue cars there are in the state of Washington? Or better yet, predict which horse will win every race at the track based on knowing all the variables? Doe has all the answers. But what is he like? Family man or loner? Hero or villain? What is truly in his soul? Doe doesn't have a clue. In his search to unlock the key to his past, He may be a government agent, an extra-terrestrial or perhaps just a regular guy.
