SPOILERS for Ep 8 -- Just Watched It -- Spoiler Summary
I just watched the new ep. Lots of SPOILERS in this post.
I actually liked it because instead of wrapping the ep in a neat bow, they gave it a major twist at the end.
Jana's group got into a tunnel that they thought would get them out of the cordon. But it turned out to be full of bad gas and two of their group passed out. They had to turn back.
Leo and Lex solved the mystery of the real patient zero. He was the original female doctor's boyfriend from ep one. He infected her, she infected the false patient zero. He was sent the virus, I think they said from the CDC, but the lead doctor at the hospital, Cannerts, created it. I'm pretty sure that's what they said, but I'm tired, so it might not be a hundred percent accurate.
Jake and Katie finally get together, there's a shower scene.
The rat guy, Burt, goes home to tell his wife, there's a cure coming after he hears Thomas's blood can cure the virus, and when they start to celebrate, she falls and injures her leg badly. He goes back to the hospital and Cannerts gives him medical supplies for her.
Everyone thinks the boy, Thomas, is the answer to the cure, they let him out of quarantine. They start to smuggle him out of the cordon because Lommers and her husband want to be in charge of testing Thomas and creating a cure. And then........we find out, he's just a carrier. He's able to infect everyone around him. Katie and Lex, Lommers, and even Jake may have been exposed. Thomas had contact with alot of people.
Lex and Lommers are quarantined together at the end.
I thought it was one of the better eps. I was expecting it to wrap up with a miracle cure and that's not what happened at all. I'm definitely curious as to how they will wrap this up and if any of the major characters will die.
