Three months earlier in the Sahara Desert, a little boy plays with his truck in the sand. Overhead he sees a flaming object fall from the sky (Sean's plane). He goes to investigate in the dark, with only a small light. He finds Sean's uniform name tag before something terrifies him.



Now. Claire looks over her son's drawings of his father. She asks when his report is, and he doesn't answer. She tells him that they don't have secrets, but they do. Big ones. Henry's friend Drill has fixed his hearing, and Claire suspects that her husband isn't dead. The door bell rings before she can get more details, and the lights flicker as she leaves. On the microwave is 111215, which is one of the tattoos on the amnesiac Sean's body.



Sean has a clean getaway from the hospital, though his appearance concerns some park parents. Perhaps he should consider atleast ditching the hospital duds. He makes his way into the trees where he's hidden a bag way up high. Inside of the bag are clothes and a strange looking knife.



Claire calls Rollins for more time. She needs him not to release the sketch, and he needs to know why. She's not shutting him out, but she can't explain at the moment. She tells him to meet at the hospital. Claire makes a call too Wes, but his wife is the one who sees it. He's come home early, and is asleep on the couch. Lena tells him that he needs to talk to Minx about her new friend, who knows way too much.



Minx is upstairs playing with her dolls and Drill when Wes comes up. He asks her about Drill, and where he heard the stuff about them. Minx tells him that Drill doesn't have parents, and that adults can't see him. Some kids can't either. Wes puts aside the talk of Drill and focuses on the topic of Mommy and Daddy. Things have been tense between them, but Wes promises that they love eachother, and that things aren't changing. Satisfied, Minx asks for her present. Her dad brought her back money from his recent trip, and together they put it on her map.



Claire sits outside waiting for Wes. She waits until he pulls out onto the road, and then she cuts him off. He didn't answer her calls, and she needs his answers. She needs to know if her husband is alive. Wes isn't sure. Sean's plane was found thousands of miles from where it was suppose to be. It looks like someone walked away, but he can't be sure it was Sean. Claire has something that Wes needs to see. She gives him the sketch of the man that was seen outside before the explosion that killed Jackson. Wes sees it looks just like Sean. If it is, and he survived and he's here, Claire doesn't understand why he hasn't come home. Wes tells her that if shouldn't even be talking to her about what he saw, it could be deemed a national security threat, and treason. Claire laughs about his sudden concern about rules, but he's broken too many and Lena has given him a second chance. Claire's second chance died when Sean's plane went down, and she's got to try to find him.



Sean heads to a storage locker. Inside there are pictures some of locations, some of young children like Harper, and Newspaper articles on the wall, all somehow linked to Drill.



Harper asks the Dr about her mother. Her mother isn't sleeping. Her father said that her spirit isn't in her body, and the Dr. is looking for her, but Harper knows that she's dying. She tells Dr. Maria that she won't be able to help her that her friend Drill told her that he was the only one who could.



Sean works to pull down everything from the storage room walls. Rollins thinks that they should get the sketch sent around as quickly as possible to see if someone recognizes it. Claire points out that they're at the hospital for just that reason. Sean hesitates as he comes to the picture of the tree house, and one of Harper. He takes the picture of Harper.



Claire goes to Harper, and she asks her if the picture is of Drill. Her father tells her to answer the question when she hesitates. Claire tells her that Drill isn't her friend that he's a bad man. Harper knew that she would say that, and she's incorrect, Drill is going to fix her mother. Her father tells Harper that its time to stop playing, that it isn't a game. But to Harper, it is a game, its the most important game of all, and she has to win. She asks Claire not to make her lose, she really wants her mother back. Claire tells her that she won't make her lose. She stops Dr. Maria, and then asks Harper if Drill told her that she couldn't talk to Dr. Maria. There's no rules against that. Claire asks Harper to tell Dr. Maria about Drill, and she starts too, but then stops. Harper doesn't think that this is right. Dr. Maria apologizes, but notices the sketch on the ground. She tells them that he was a patient, but he disappeared.



Wes sits with the Secretary of Defense. In the books Sean was just on a surveillance run. He was really out to test a new weapon. Just as he was about to test the weapon he disconnected his transponder, and they lost him. Wes knows that you can't disconnect the transponder on the F22, but the Secretary points out that he had to have had help. Which explains how he disappeared, and how he got from the Artic to the Sahara. Wes is tasked to find out how he survived, and who was helping him. Wes meets with his team, doling out assignments. Someone had to have seen something somewhere. He tells them that they are assuming that he survived, and he was seen outside of a complex before an explosion. One points out that they should start with his wife, but Wes has already talked to her. Another thinks that they should put a tail on Claire and Henry.\
Min plays a game with her friend, and she wins easily. The friend complains that Minx always wins. Minx has a game that she can win easily. She hands the girl a hard drive. All she has to do is print out the files, and not show anyone. The game doesn't sound fun to Violet. Minx insists that it is, and if she wins, then she'll get to see magic. Violet wants a preview, and Minx calls on Drill to show her a bit of magic. He talks to her through the electronic game, and Violet wants to know how she's doing it. It's magic, and Minx extends the game invitation again.



Claire and Rollins speaks with Dr. Maria. Sean had no memories of anything prior to the last three months. He gave no hints about knowing anyone since then, and she suspected that he was all alone. But when he was unconscious he spoke Arabic, and said they're searching for the lights. She doesn't know what it means. Sean is walking like a man on a mission, headed straight to a shop. The Arabic man inside gives him an envelope. Dr. Maria tells them that he was covered in tattoos. They were all different, one looked like a tree house. Rollins is sure that he is their guy. Claire points out that he's just a person of interest at the moment. Sean leaves the shop. Security footage is being pulled in light of the attack.



Claire sees the footage of Sean taking down a guard. He's military trained for sure. Claire's silence is too much, and Rollins shuts off the monitor. He wants answers. She's been acting weird since she saw the sketch, and he knows that she knows who he is. Claire admits that she thinks it may be Sean. Sean is suppose to be dead though. Claire tells him that last night they found his plane, but not his body. The man in the sketch isn't similar, but looks exactly like Sean. But the man Dr. Maria described doesn't. Sean doesn't have tattoos, doesn't speak Arabic, doesn't attack people. Rollins tells her that if she believed that she would have released the sketch. Claire needed more time. Rollins points out that gave the man more time on the streets.



Claire gives Dr. Maria her card, asking her to call her if she sees him again, and to not call the police. Dr. Maria tells Claire that he needs help.



Sean calls in. He had an appointment with Dr. Maria he tells the receptionist, and he's running late. He gets the her hours, and then dumps her SIM card.



One of Wes's agents finds some footage from a satellite from when Sean went down. He watches the stills and something isn't right about them he notices, and his agent confirms its not what he thinks moving. At his desk he gets a call from Lena. He runs home, and she had not choice but the let the agents in, they had warrants. He tells her to take Minx and leave, but she refuses. Wes goes to find out what happened. His server was accessed, and restricted files were downloaded against protocol. Wes wasn't even home at the time it happened. The FBI is taking his computer to see how someone could have gotten access. Wes asks Lena about it, and she's upset that he would think it was her. She realizes that he thinks she went on there to see if he was emailing Claire from his work computer. Wes insists that she has nothing to worry about. Lena asks him if he was contacting her on his work computer. Wes doesn't want to do this with a house full of people. Lena thinks that they already know about his affair anyways, since they were doing it at work. If Wes could change things he would, he just wants to get past this. Lena wants to not be looked like a terrorist, for things between them to be good, for Minx not to have this imaginary friend telling her crap, and she wants to believe him. Ever since he was with her things have gone wrong, and now she wants him to fix it. Minx tells them to stop fighting. She confesses that it was her, she went into the computer. She tells them that they should be yelling at her, before she breaks down in tears. Wes rushes to hold his daughter.



Claire calls her mother to make sure that Henry is inside. She tells her to keep him inside and insight, but not why. She notices Dr. Maria searching for her keys. Her keys and wallet are both missing. She heads back to check with security, and that raises a flag with Claire.



Sean heads though a gate, and to the Dr's home. He has her keys and wallet. He enters her house. Inside he begins to search through her belongings for something. He finds a gun hidden in a bag. He goes into her bathroom to take a shower. Milo has packed on the muscle, and you can see his ripped tattoo form through the shower glass. On his chest there are three tattoos, that haven't been explained yet, but one looks like a target of some sort. As he showers he begins to tremble as something overtakes him. He falls to the shower floor.

Wes goes to the lead investigator, Alex, and tells him that Minx accessed them. Alex doesn't really believe it, but its the truth, and it'll make them look as bad as him. It's a little personal for Alex. Wes was a good agent before he left. Alex didn't like what Wes did to Claire. They all knew that she had a shaky home life, and he thinks that he took advantage of her as her superior. Wes doesn't want to do this in his home, and Alex doesn't plan on dropping the case. From the second floor Lena hears it all.

Sean scrambles out of the shower, searching for something and begins drawing on the floor. Claire arrives outside of Dr. Maria's home, and arms herself.

Wes gets a call about Claire's location. He heads straight there, but advises his agents not to approach until he arrives.

Claire quietly enters Dr. Maria's house, looking for signs of Sean. She hears a squeaky hinge and heads upstairs. He's already making his way out of the window as she enters the room. Claire gives chase, and Wes sees her. He calls to her, but nothing is stopping her from chasing after Sean. He tears through the crowd and manages to evade her for a moment, but Claire spots him again. She runs after him, but at another intersection she loses him for a moment. The two make eye contact across a street, but when a bus passes he vanishes. Wes catches up in his car. He asks if she saw him, if it was Sean, but Claire tells him that she's unsure. She never got a good look at him.

Harper's father is called back to work, but he doesn't want to go. His family needs him. Harper looks over her mother. She calls to Drill. He told her that he was going to help her, he promised. Harper's mother's eyes flutter, her vitals get better. She's not awake, but she's improving. Harper asks what's next.

Henry sits watching TV, with the sound on. He calls out to the TV answering it. Grandma hears the TV, which is unusual since he's suppose to be deaf, and she heads up to see what the voices are. She asks him who is there, who is talking. He tells her that its just the TV, but she's suspicious. She turns off the TV and tells him to get to bed. The TV comes back on with nothing but static. Henry gets scolded by Drill, he apologizes since his recovery was suppose to be a secret. Henry gets in closer, staring into the screen.

Wes gets an update on Sean. They've ran through all facial recognition programs, still no hits. Claire has gone back to Dr. maria's but Wes doesn't think she needs to be brought in.

Minx takes a little walk down the slowly darkening street, thanking Drill. She doesn't want to be home anymore.

Sean watches Dr. Maria in the garage.

Claire searches for what Sean was doing in Dr. Maria's home. She finds his sketch on the floor and takes a picture of it.

Minx goes back to the tunnel at the playground. She looks over a map, a maze according to Drill. It's a wiring schematic.

Dr. Maria gets into her car, and Sean in there with her gun. He needs her to take him somewhere. On his arm is a brand new tattoo, the same Guillotine looking drawing as on the floor at Dr. Maria's.

The Whispers has probably one of the scariest teasers, especially if you have children. What if your child's imaginary friends weren't so imaginary, what if they were deadly? The series is finally here, and its goosebump inducing to say the least.

The first little girl that we're introduced to is Harper. She's young and cute as a button, and she's got an imaginary friend named Drill. She complains that her mother never listens, that she's always on the phone, and her father is a scientist, away on a trip. Drill wants to play a game, and Harper is all for it. Harper goes out to the tree house and calls her mother over. Her mother doesn't like that Harper is so high up, and has no choice but to go up after the girl. Harper tells her mother that she won't go down until the game is done, and to step on the X. She does, and falls through the floor. She did what Drill had asked, but it seems that Drill is no longer there. Harper looks into hole at her fallen Mommy, pleading for her to wake up not that the game is over.

Claire cheers on her son during his baseball game when she gets called into work. She hasn't been there for months, but agrees to come in. After running across home base Claire tells her son, and he thinks that she should go in. It's been months since a tragedy hit their family, and its time for her to go back.

Back at work Claire turns heads, but heads straight to her director's office. Her reputation proceeds her Rollins says. Claire looks over the pictures from the crime scene. Claire isn't sure that a small child could have done it. Their time is short, the grandmother has given permission to question Harper, but her father will return from his trip soon. Claire heads out, and Rollins gets called back for a moment. The Director knows that there has been talk about Claire, but its the people talking about him. She just lost her husband, but she'll rise to the occasion, and he hopes he will too. Rollins understands loud and clear.

At the park, a little girl, Minx, shows off for her mother, Lena, as she chats with a friend on a park bench. Gymnastics has been paying off for Minx, but the piano lessons haven't for her friend's son, Noah. The friend asks about her relationship. Lena's husband is away on a new job, he's a defense contractor. She's not really sure what he does, but at least he's not around their daughter anymore. The friend is surprised that she stayed, but Lena still loves him.

In Africa, a group of men meet with an African General. It's a pretty hostile situation, but their questions will soon be answered.

Claire sits down with Harper, to find out about her game. Harper isn't suppose to say. Claire tells her that its a safe room, and she's allowed to say anything. Harper tells her that Drill told her that adults wouldn't understand. Harper can't see Drill either, but he speaks through the lights. He said that they would have a domination. Harper struggles with Drill's big words. She thinks that he told her the answers to the questions but she doesn't remember the answers. Drill has left her for now, the game isn't over, and he's out looking for a new friend.

Minx on the playground has become Drill's new playmate. He talks to her in the wind, asking if she would like to play, and she does.

Rollins asks what Claire thinks, if they should turn her back over to the locals. Claire thinks that things feel off. The little girl has obviously been coached. The father arrives to pick up Harper. Claire wants more time, but Rollins doesn't think that there is a case. The Director wants clarification. Claire runs after Harper, taking a drawing asking if the picture is Drill. It isn't. She believes Harper that Drill is real. Harper tells her that there was another boy, but he couldn't win the game. Claire looks in the FBI database for anything that links it to another crime. Rollins thinks that she's wasting her time, it was a crime of a disturbed mind. Claire doesn't think that Harper fits that bill. She finds a similar case where a little boy detonated a bomb and killed himself, the mother survived. It was believed that he was under the influence of an entity named Drill and they were playing a game. Rollins thinks this may be a copycat, but Claire knows more than a little about kids, and it doesn't work that way for ones so young. Their connections are sacred. Most kids know that imaginary friends aren't real, but not Harper. She's sure of the opposite. She's not sure how, but someone is getting these kids to do these acts,

Minx plays in a tube, and a boy asks if he can play. She confers with her imaginary friend and agrees to let him. He runs out of the tube screaming, wanting to leave immediately. Lena goes to find out what happened, but Minx won't talk.

The man that was outside of Harper's house struggles to write a note, on it is Minx's name. He collapses.

The men get questioned about the property that the African General has seized. They can't talk about it. The wind whips up, something is happening. A geologist is outside, they have to show them something. The storm knocks out the lights outside, as they suit up and to take a look at something. The general brings them to see a ship that they've found. The men move to get a closer look. Wes goes to reach out an touch the thing, and gets a little shock. The lights come back on. The airplane is stuck inside of the rock, it looks like it was grabbed right out of the sky. Wes sees what looks like deep footsteps walking away.

Claire asks Rollins what the office is saying about her. He kneads him until he answers her. It's a little suspicious that she took a leave of absence right before her husband died, the same time that her sister did. She asks what he thinks, Marriage is complicated. She asks how long he's been divorced. His divorce isn't official yet. He asks about her son. He lost his hearing, and then his father. Claire and Rollins are brought to see Ms. Bellings. Claire tells her that a little girl thought she was playing a game with Drill and hurt her mother. Ms. Bellings says nothing. Claire sits down next to her, people say that it will get better, but what does that mean. She tells her what her mother told her about grief, and how to get through it. Her husband was killed 3 months ago in a plane crash, that brings Ms. Bellings out of it. She gives her condolences. Claire understands loss, but not what she's going through. She has her son and she can't imagine what she'd be like if she lost him. Ms. Bellings is what it would look like.

The man wakes up. He's labeled as John Doe. In his sleep he says something about time, about it being too late. They're searching for the lights. The Doctor has no clue what it means.

Claire asks what happened that day. She went to work, thought that Jackson went to school, but he was in the hall. Jackson told her that he thought that he was doing a bad thing, that it wasn't a game. He ran into the supply closet, and then.... He told her about Drill, but she just got mad. She thought that he was too old to be playing such games. Claire thinks that Drill is real, that someone is behind it. Ms. Bellings remembers that there was a man across the street, that he was watching. She describes out John Doe. He was covered in tattoos, weird ones, like a treehouse. Rollins calls for a sketch artist. Ms. Bellings tells Claire to hold onto her son, to not let him go.

John Doe wakes up as Dr. Maria is looking at his tattoos, and panics. She gets him calmed down, telling him that she wants to help, but the man can't even remember his name.

At home Lena asks Minx again what happened. Minx doesn't think that her mother would understand. The boy probably freaked out because he's turning. When kids get a certain age, they being to turn, to think too much about stuff. She'll never turn Drill has told her. Lena is impressed by her artwork, which looks like the White House, and a suspicious plane. Minx tells her that that is where the light comes from. Lena thinks that her father will like it, but not Minx. Drill has told her that her father doesn't care. He did something bad, but Lena is pretending it didn't happen. Lena wants to meet the friend, but Minx says no. Lena calls Wes and leaves him a message. She tells him that Minx knows what he did. Minx thinks its confirmation that Wes doesn't want to talk to Lena when he doesn't answer.

Wes goes to check his messages, but gets interrupted. Peter shows him what he's found about the plane. It was to find classified information, but it lost control around the artic circle. There is no way it should have made it to the desert, with how much fuel it carried. Wes looks further, he knows the pilot.

John Doe can't remember his name, all that information feels like its just out of reach. He's dreaming, but he doens't know what they mean, only that they're important. Dr. Maria tells him that when he was sleeping he was speaking in Arabic. John Doe doesn't speak Arabic. Dr. Maria tells him what he said, but it doesn't mean anything for him. She orders a CT scan. He looks at his tattoo, and then the clock and zones out. The Dr. snaps him out of it. He thinks something is about to happen. Little Harper stands watching. She's looking for her friend. The Dr. offers to have a nurse help her find him, but Harper knows she won't be able to help, but thinks John can. Creepy.

Claire returns home, and she's happy to see her son. It was kind of nice to be back at work, but she missed her son. They missed eachother, and they missed his father.

Lena gets ready for a bath, when the lights go out. She checks outside and the lights are on out there. Her lights come back on.

In Minx's room, her robot toy goes crazy, waking her. She doesn't want to play right now, but the game never stops. She heads down the night lighted hall, and follows a light up truck. When it stops she heads upstairs to the office. She goes on her father's computer, and she knows his password to log into his military account. She waits for more instructions from Drill.

Dr. Maria goes to check on John Doe. He's not at his tests, she calls for security to find him.

Harper and her father sits by her mother's bedside.

Claire looks over her case when she receives a sketch from Rollins. While she waits for it to open she notices one of Harper's drawings. Claire cannot believe her eyes. She grabs a magazine, and the picture is similar to the magazine spread. She gets a call, and thinks that its Rollins. It isn't. It's Wes. He has something to say about Shawn, but Claire doesn't want him to even say his name. Wes wants the past behind him as much as she does. They found Shawn's plane, which Claire thinks is impossible. Wes has more news, Shawn's body isn't inside, he may not be dead. He should be considered missing. Wes has to go, but Claire needs more information, her mind reeling. She sees the sketch that was sent over by Rollins, its her husband, its Shawn, its Mr. John Doe.

Shawn runs the halls of the hospital.

Wes gives the president an update. He talks about the rock they found, the petrified lightening, and shows him what a typical formation looks like, and then theirs. The heat from the plane did not cause it. No one is talking, no one is saying anything. It could have been weapons testing. The president doesn't understand how anyone could have survived. Wes isn't sure, but he wants to stay to investigate further. The president calls him home, there is something he needs to know.

Henry sits looking out his window. He can't believe it he says, that this is the best present. He thanks Drill for fixing him. Drill wants him to keep it a secret and he will. He tells Drill that he loves him and goodnight.
