[edit] Season 1

Shawn was at a campsite with his cousin Kyle talking about his neighbor when a light appeared. It was trying to take Kyle, but Shawn shoved him out of it. The future never wanted Shawn, but since he was the one who was taken he became a 4400. Shawn is the only unintended abuductee to be featured on the show. Kyle was left comatose from the ordeal and Shawn went missing until he was returned three years later. Though everything initially appears normal, Shawn soon finds himself with the power to both heal and do harm (he can drain beings of power just as much as he can restore people). When Shawn came back from his abduction, Danny's girlfriend Nikki Hudson, showed an interest in him. This put a strain on his relationship with his brother. Danny began to have an anti-4400 sentiment. They have had an uneasy relationship throughout the show.

Tom always believed that if he could find Shawn he would realize what happened to Kyle.

If it weren't for Shawn's healing abilities Kyle would've never woken up from his coma. Shawn had a very uneasy relationship with his uncle ever since he returned because Tom always considered Shawn responsible for Kyle's condition.

[edit] Season 2

Even after Shawn brought Kyle out of the coma and the future agents explained what happened, Tom still felt hostile towards Shawn. During the second season when Kyle went missing, Tom went to Shawn to ask him what he knew about it. Shawn asked if something bad happening to Kyle was his fault, and Tom responded "it's been known to happen."

Kyle reveals to Shawn that he was the one who killed Jordan Collier. Shawn "cures" him by removing some kind of field from him, causing an explosion. It was an unusual moment, even by The 4400 standards.

Shawn became estranged from his family and went to live at the 4400 center, where he developed a strong bond with Jordan Collier. After Collier's assassination, Shawn was left in charge of The 4400 Center, where he continued Collier's work in establishing a community where the 4400 can live in peace and work to harness their abilities for the greater good. He reluctantly begins sharing power with Richard upon Matthew Ross's advice.

[edit] Season 3

After Isabelle rapidly aged, she showed an interest in Shawn. Isabelle insisted on marrying Shawn.

In Fifty-Fifty, Shawn is captured by NTAC after being unable to save Devin. They want to know the location of the promicin taken from Haspelcorp. Unfortunately, Isabelle arrives to question Shawn. He isn't willing to give up the information voluntarily. Isabelle somehow forces the information from Shawn, which leaves him in a coma.

[edit] Season 4

In The Wrath of Graham, Kyle gives Shawn a shot of promicin while he's in the hospital. This gives him the boost he needs to wake up from his coma.

In The Truth and Nothing But the Truth, Shawn is coaxed into running for the Seattle City Council. One of his opponents was Gabriel Hewitt until Gabriel decides to run for Mayor. In The Marked, Gabriel suffers a stroke for which Shawn thinks Jordan or one of his follower's is responsible. Shawn heals Gabriel, and asked him to change his views of The 44400.

He tracked down Kevin Burkhoff and Tess at a diner where she was holding everyone hostage under the delusion that it was her sixteenth birthday party. He managed to convince Tess to let him heal her.

Shawn greatly opposes Collier's distribution of promicin, leaving him the leader of a split faction of 4400s opposed to Collier. He was working with Kevin Burkhoff to develop a test (MRI) which could determine who would survive the shot, but Jordan didn't want him to announce the research. Shawn remains the one of the few pure characters, since Collier doesn't care about the deaths and Tom has become one of the Marked.

In the season four finale, Shawn is integral to removing the nanomachines that made Tom a Marked and, presumably, Collier as well. Meanwhile, Shawn is forced to deal with the accidental death of his mother (Tom's sister), and the task of assisting in the suicide of his dying brother. At the funeral, Shawn, Tom, and Kyle renew their family relationship as a means of coping.

Along with Tom and Diana, he is the only character to appear in every episode.
