"9:02" -- An electromagnetic pulse fries everything with a
circuit board at 9:02 p.m., plunging the town into darkness, on JERICHO,
Wednesday, Oct. 25 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Nancy Won wrote the episode which was directed by J. Miller Tobin.
Before the power goes out, the citizens of Jericho watch as minutemen
missiles are launched into the sky. One by one, the townspeople receive
phone messages alerting them that the Federal government has been shut
down and that everyone is under local or state jurisdiction. For the first
time since the explosion, people realize they are on their own and must be
responsible for maintaining law and order in their town. Meanwhile,
Allison, Hawkin's daughter, starts to question her father's motive for
moving to Jericho.
