Vincent Sforza works for a research company coming up with people who have been awarded money in big legal battles, but who have dropped off the radar. His latest target is Charlie McGee, a person he already declared dead as a girl twice already. This time, he tries researching her father and discovers a history of experiments on a drug called 'Lot 6', which gave those who took it heightened powers, if it didn't kill them. Charlie McGee could start fires. What he doesn't know is that the girl who is also researching that past is really Charlie McGee.

Vincent convinces Charlie to go to the doctors that his company has recommended in the hope that they might yet find a cure for her powers. Instead, she is immediately threatened with capture. Vincent, though, has figured out that he is not the side of the angels and tries to help. Rainbird, though, has cultivated new children with new powers and one has the ability to take down the Firestarter.
The set up is over and this gets on with the action as Vincent realises that he's been duped and manages to save his brother, but not himself. Once inside the research facility, he and Charlie are chased by a bunch of men, but it is only when they come up against the sinister children under Rainbird's control that things start to get interesting.

Vincent helps Charlie to escape from the research facility, but he himself is caught and tortured by Rainbird and his kids into telling everything he knows about Charlie. She meets Richardson, a man who knew her parents, a man who now knows everything, including the future, but who is unable to change anything. Charlie, though, can change something and decides to go back in to get Vincent.
There are times in this episode when the story makes no sense whatsoever. The kids who were so keen on facing up to Charlie again just stand there and watch her escape. Rainbird's army of men, so prevalent up until now are nowhere to be seen and another survivor of the Lot 6 trials wakes up from being murdered when she has had nothing to do with the main plot up until now.
Enter Dennis Hopper as Richardson in one of his more toned down performances (hell he even wears a suit), but his is a character who doesn't seem to do a lot other than to tell Charlie what she's going to do, making it clear to her what she is going to do whether she agrees with him or not.
There is action at the beginning, but that fizzles away to nothing towards the end and the big finale moment is the death of someone who we don't even care about.

Now out of Rainbird's clutches, Charlie plans to go and live in Canada where there is a lot of snow. Vincent decides to go with her, but he has to see his sick father first. Richardson agrees to drop them off at the hospital, but instead drops them off in the town where Rainbird is going to stage the big demonstration of what his kids can do. The test, though, isn't the bank as promised, it's Charlie.
This being Firestarter there has to be a big, explosive, fiery finish and everything in this episode leads up to that one point. Charlie wants to kill Rainbird and Rainbird wants to die at her hands, so why it proves to be such a big problem for her to give him what he wants is hard to understand. There is destruction, however, and action as the kids destroy what is clearly a set and Charlie shows them how it's really done.
This being Firestarter, a happy ending is not on the cards and at least the show lives up to a promise that it made earlier on. Everything else is so unconvincing that it is unlikely that this fire will be rekindled again any time soon.
