1-10 Recap	The End Is Here His Visit: Day Nine - Well, what a long, strange trip it's been -- emphasis on the "strange." But before we surf off into the sunset, Shaun and John return from their wanderings to deliver a message of hope, community, and hot, new surfing gear. That last part comes courtesy of Linc, who's able to make some headway on deciphering John's message and purpose, and who decides to create a Yost-based marketing campaign to provide some cover for all the mystical happenings so that the citizens of Imperial Beach don't get too worked up. Another way to keep them from getting too worked up over John and his message: make sure there's not a second season. Mission accomplished, HBO.	08.11.2007	C	Mr. Sobell
