1-11 Weecap	What Can the Harvest Hope For, If Not for the Care of the Reaper Man? Black Rain - We get our first legitimately frightening character in the last three minutes of the show, but before that exciting sequence, there's a whole lot of Julia reveling in a God complex. Understandable, since she can now cure anything.	03.14.2014 03.17.2014	N/A	Sobell
1-10 Weecap	Impending Death Is the Best Cosmetic Fushugi - Sarah's spinal tumor goes into overdrive, and as young Dr. Gizmo edges closer to the end, her skin becomes positively radiant and her hair's never looked better. Meanwhile, Julia appears to be on the fast track to immortality.	03.09.2014 03.10.2014	B	Sobell
1-9 Weecap	Fifty Vectors, One Cup Level X - The previously mindless vectors have developed culture – and it is, of course, based on goo-swapping social interactions. And speaking of swapping bodily fluids, Julia finds out about Alan and Sarah. However, after the rap Hatake lays on her, her ex's extracurriculars are the least of her concerns.	03.02.2014 03.03.2014	B+	Sobell
1-8 Weecap	Whatchu Talking About, Willis Hypothesis? Bloodline - Once more, people make vague utterances meant to pique our interest about conspiracies, secrets, and super-races, or whatever. But the real fun in this episode is figuring out exactly how crazy Hatake is.	02.21.2014 02.24.2014	B+	Sobell
1-7 Weecap	Don't Worry, Scientists! Now We Have Executives to Save You! Survivor Zero - So the bad news is that now we have MBAs on the scene, and they're more frightening than the goo-spewing infected people. The good news is … well, there is no good news in this episode.	02.14.2014 02.18.2014	B+	Sobell
1-6 Weecap	The Truth Is Out There? Maybe? Aniqatigua - Julia's subconscious throws up a lot of hokum in an effort to make anyone care about the connection between her and Hatake, and a shirtless Balleseros discovers that there are actually people who are smarter and meaner than he is. (I applaud this development.)	02.07.2014 02.10.2014	B+	Sobell
1-5 Weecap	In a White Room/with Black Sputum… Single Strand - Balleseros's actions over the last four days begin to catch up with him, Sarah makes a move on Alan for all the wrong reasons, and Hatake's obsession with Julia gets even creepier. Fortunately, her hallucinations are on to him.	02.01.2014 02.03.2014	B-	Sobell
1-4 Weecap	Doctors? More Like DUH-ctors Single Strand - Doreen learns the hard way that you should never trust anyone who refuses to take off his black leather gloves in your presence, Alan learns the hard way that either his ex or his brother is a lying liar who lies, and Sarah learns the hard way that her fancy quick-test did not work.	01.26.2014 01.27.2014	B-	Sobell
1-3 Weecap	Trust Nobody, Especially if They're Cute 274 - It's early in the series, but I think it's safe to say that Sarah and Balleseros is tied for "Who is screwing over everyone the most?" She does it with a faulty test for the Narvik virus and he does it by sabotaging the CDC.	01.17.2014 01.20.2014	B	Sobell
Mondo Extra	The Natives Are Restless Vector - Julia smells a rat in Peter’s research and goes to replicate his results -- and wow, are those results disgusting. Meanwhile, Doreen singlehandedly takes care of a stray sickie, and Sarah gets taken hostage a few times.	01.10.2014 01.13.2014	B+	Sobell
1-1 Weecap	Who Put Monkeysicles on the Secret Menu? Helix Pilot - We quickly establish that a remote arctic base is an excellent place for incubating both lethal viruses and secretive people who have no intention of actually helping stem any outbreaks. Also, there are fleeing monkeys.	01.10.2014 01.13.2014	B+	Sobell
