I've read one opinion that the overnights may include the ratings for the baseball game in New York and L.A. If that's true, the numbers probably aren't that good at all, since the Yankees in NY may have easily drawn about a 15, which would seriously distort the overall number. But I don't know if that's true or not.

This is good. Two reasons, one, the audience that caught it apparently got a very good episode that will bring them back, and Two, the ratings went up. Even if it's slow, if the ratings continue to climb, we're good, and the fact that it and John Doe are getting roughly the same ratings (it got a 4.8/8) that means it won't be seen as a bad lead-in. With lead-ins, if the show after you get's lower ratings, it would be Firefly that is blamed for being a bad lead-in, not John Doe, and the fact that John Doe got a 6.0 in it's first showing is actually good for us cause they can't blame Firefly as a bad lead-in.
Lets hope the next episode improves further (although i think it might be the repeat of 'last weeks ep' on Wednesday(?) or whenever that might be a big factor.
