Greg (Eric Szmanda) and Sara (Jorga Fox) investigate a CS which has plenty of blood spatter around the dead man's house, but is too much to have come from a shooting and Greg notices Jack Smith has plenty of books on viruses and diseases. Sara notices he may be contaminated since his eye has been bleeding blood and could be any pathogen ranging from hemorrhagic fever. She calls CDC and they are quarantined. They are going to 'nuke' the place as the Dr Emmett (James Lesure) tells DB (Ted Danson) but that means all the evidence will be lost and they're not allowed to collect the evidence either. The landlord found the DB so how come he wasn't quarantined either. DB tells the Doc they need to find out who the shooter was since the DB was shot and this means there's another possible contaminator running around which could lead to an epidemic. David (David Berman) arrives at the scene and says it should've been him here first but he was preoccupied with another case.
Dr Heather Hanning (Lauren Stamile) introduces herself from Rhineland Labs and she is going to help them with the case and finding which virus they may have been exposed to. She and Ecklie (Marc Vann) watch Doc (Robert David Hall) performing the autopsy and she suggests he should use scissors instead of a saw since he could cut his Hazmat suit that way. Doc says he's taking his time and besides, he isn't an amateur that he doesn't know what he's doing. The Vic's lungs and spleen have been infected and seconds later some blood spurts onto the plastic surrounding the lab and where she and Ecklie are standing.
Nick (George Eads) and Morgan (Elisabeth Harnois) go over the CS photos that they uploaded from the CS and he's trying to determine the DB's ID. Morgan notices a library book which leads them to Id the DB as a Dr Jack Weaver (Rick Otto) who Greg found was known as Jack Smith, he did say that name was too generic to be his own. He was obsessed with viruses and was researching and collecting viruses from around the world. They also discover that Heather knew Jack but didn't tell them this. DB interviews her with her lawyer, Rudy (Walter Perez) present and she says she hadn't seen Jack for a long time. He was too emotional about his job and couldn't stand to watch people suffer, so he was relieved of his job. A policeman also recalls he was called to the scene where Jack was prophecizing about the virus and he wasn't arrested, and here that prophecy has happened and killed him.
Nick thinks that perhaps he was working with someone, a bio terrorist and maybe he was being paid to sell the virus. The lab has DOD approval since they're researching and developing viruses which the country maybe attacked with one day. Greg and Sara will be monitored to see if they show any of the symptoms but they feel so helpless. Greg calls his grandmother and tells her he will visit soon. Also saying that this gives them time to think about what they want to do, like going on that vacation they never went on. Sara commenting how something like this is what makes them think about doing things.
Nick and Morgan are able to return to Jack's house and look for the missing bullet so they can ID the suspect. Morgan notices the bullet had ricocheted off the floor and the mark on the floor shows this, meaning he had to have been on the floor when he was shot, Nick manages to find the bullet lodged in the sofa. Which they ID as belonging to a Sean Steubens (Jake Richardson) he's in the system and Nick and Officer Mitchell (Larry Mitchell) go to his apartment. Nick sees him inside and he's infected too. In isolation Nick asks him what happened and he tells him he saw someone in a Hazmat suit, thinking they were cooking up meth, he entered the house, saw the man on the floor, took the briefcase after he panicked and shot Jack when the Hazmat suited person entered the room, saying it was an accident.
DB finally gets to see Greg and Sara and she says that if anything happens they want to go out fighting and want to be working this. Sara had a relapse and her temp was 104, but it could be a cold or something less serious. DB tells them what they've found so far. Greg and Sara look at files and e-mails and Sara finds some where Heather has had meetings with Jack and lied about not seeing him. Rudy turns up and says that a vial went missing from the lab, which is enough to destroy many lives. He plays back a recording where Heather tells him they can't report the missing vial. They think Jack took the vial when she left him alone when he went to the men's room.
Nick and Morgan are able to look at files etc from Heather's office and Morgan finds a letter Heather sent herself when they were in Bolivia in 2006 after the outbreak of the virus. They were sent there to contain it and it had only infected two people thus far. But they lied to the people telling them it was just a fever and they entered the place and also died from it. Jack couldn't handle it and it seems that Heather couldn't either from the letter. Morgan and Henry ( are able to check the lab and Henry mentions a mitochondrial procedure where anything a person may have touched can be traced and their signature will be unique to them, relating to anything their hands may have picked up from whatever they touched. Since anyone who entered the lab would be suited, the thief wouldn't have been and would've touched the locker. Morgan sets up various cultures.
Nick calls her and tells her to be prepared for her jaw to drop. DB questions Rudy the about a photo that was taken in Bolivia, it shows him in the photo and he says he lost his entire family due to that. The company took care of the children, sending them to school and he wanted to work for them, but could only do so as a lawyer. He wanted to get back at them and he stole the vial and infected Jack. Not thinking about the consequences of his actions and how many other innocent people he'd infect along the way.
Greg and Sara are given the all clear and David has to take care of Sean who didn't make it. Sara tells Greg that the virus has an incubation period and is only airborn for two hours, so they weren't infected. Greg says it's a given and they hug each other. It's not strange that Asra and Greg ended up together cos they have been friends for a long time and have that brother/sister chemistry between them, but they didn't share many feelings whilst there, possibly for this reason, that they know each other too well, as they both say, "it's a given." Thus no words are needed (and of course there was no mention of Gil.)
The title referring to the bad blood which was expelled fro the Vics, but also to that which was eating up Rudy for all those years and all he could think of was revenge.
A topical subject of course with the ongoing Ebola virus outbreak and showing how easily these viruses can get out of hand and infect people. DB calls Finn (Elisabeth Shue) who is still researching in Seattle and all she needs is a date of birth to find out more on the Gig Harbour killer twins case. She wishes she could be there, but DB tells her it's safer where she is, right, so what about all his other staff. Well we all know what Finn's been up to in Seattle so it's no wonder she hasn't been very successful in her research! ha. (Daniel ring any bells!)
