However, thanks to the tracker James had secretly added to John's grave, he is eventually rescued.

When John awakens, he is immediately shot and killed by Liz May Brice, much to Rik's shock.

He gradually regenerates during the following episode.

He revives after Eve Myles opens his bodybag in the hall of the dead.
