The unscrupulous faith healer Stewart Fishoff is exposed by a man during his cult. He flees, hunted down by deceived costumers. In an alley, he trips and falls on the dirty floor, and finds one white glove. He wears the glove in his right hand and a woman arrives, sick and crippled, to complain of him. When he touches her with the glove, she is healed and the glove becomes dirty. He flees again and stumbles upon a police officer and, when he touches the man with his glove, the disease is immediately transferred to the policeman. Some time later, Ryan is watching Fishoff on television and Jack recognizes the glove that belonged to Lewis. Jack unsuccessfully tries to retrieve the glove, and Ryan and Micki see the effect of the cursed object in a woman. Now Jack visits his old friend Jerry Scott, who is the man that exposed the con artist Fishoff, expecting to retrieve the glove. But Jerry has other intention.
"Faith Healer" is another great episode of "Friday the 13th: The Series". Directed by David Cronenberg, the show has a good story and nasty special effects. The villains Stewart Fishoff and Jerry Scott have great performance. The price charged by the glove to heal people is cruel. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "O Curandeiro" ("The Faith Healer")
