Firestarter: Rekindled

Episode 4 (1x4)

: 13, 2002

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.
