As we start our last episode of the season, everyone is putting up a good front, but covering up a deep well of anxiety. There is some hope that Dr Cora Wolf will come through with a cure. Eric has put together a background reel to introduce us to the doctor. Dr Wolf is a genius who was a prodigy. She was working for the CDC when she came across her first zombie case.
The subject had murdered and eaten his entire family, and partially eaten two hikers. She was ridiculed and fired. Dr Wolf started her own biotech company to search for a cure. Sheila is still worried about what will happen if she ends up randomly murdering people and Joel needs to put her down. Sheila is appalled. Just like Joel feared, wrong answer. Sheila wants him to make it special, maybe even romantic.
He should kiss her, then put a silk pillow over her face, and shoot her with a pearl-handled revolver. Maybe Joel could just bedazzle the bat. Dr Wolf arrives, and immediately hugs Sheila. The doctor examines Sheila and determines that she is indeed dead. Dr Wolf also brought the ancient Serbian book. It has to be given before they get too aggressive. Dr Wolf can have almost all of the ingredients for the cure formula there in two days, but she needs a full-blooded Serbian to collect bile from.
Medieval Serbians developed intestinal flora that resisted the virus. Her normal guy is on vacation. Joel realizes that the Baka is Serbian. He and Sheila will visit her and try to get her to vomit. Joel rants a little and storms out in frustration.
Dr Wolf says that when she has to put down a rat, she dims the lights, puts on Mozart, gets them high on nitrous oxide, and drives a tiny mint flavored toothpick into their brains. Sheila would rather have Dr Wolf kill her than Joel.
