A doctor carries out brain surgery on a boy whilst he's still awake. Soon all the staff pass out, being gassed. As Lindy (Victoria Justice) prepares dinner for Jake to thank him for cooking her dinner, she finds it tastes repulsive. If they said a few eps ago that they can't cook and the kitchen is never used, then why was she even attempting it. He calls to cancel and Tommy (Casey Deidrick) shows up asking for a favour. He tastes the sauce or whatever she's made, wishing he hadn't! The Doctor who was the neurosurgeon is being blamed so he has to find out who hacked into the system. Lindy says all the machines are automated so it'd be easy to do. Heading to the hospital, they meet Doctor Wells (Elizabeth Alderfer). Lindy asks if they used to go out and he says one Summer, cos neurosurgeons and cops don't mix. The Doctor seems a little jealous of Lindy as well. She gives Lindy a pass key to the server room and she heads inside. As a van pulls up for carpet cleaning.
Lindy is being watched by the hospital cameras and it's obvious that it's the Virtual Killer. But why would he be watching the hospital and know Lindy would turn up, besides stating the obvious. Especially since he knew what was happening at the hospital but did nothing to alert her to it, if he was so interested in helping her. As he did at the end. Also she gets the notion to check herself into the hospital to investigate further. She asks George (Harvey Guillen) who is in the van outside, to make sure she has a condition that is serious. She runs up and down the stairs and takes pills which shows she's got a high temperature. So I suppose the Virtual Killer was also watching her on the camera. Oh wait wasn't there a camera on the stairs. The nurse takes her blood and runs it through the system. If only all hospitals were so efficient. We have to wait a week here at least before we get back blood work results. George gives her neurosyphilis cos it's the only thing he could think of. So she can be taken to ICU.
He tells Lindy to faint and she throws the tray down before pretending to faint, but she doesn't faint anywhere near where she dropped the tray. She's left in the hall on a gurney and a girl, Erika (Erin Wilhelmi) is wheeled up in a chair connected to her IV. She's a bit of a strange one. She ask Lindy what she's got and she can't recall it. However Erika knows what she has and has remembered it. She needs a heart transplant but the medication she's on has destroyed her liver. As we see her take a cocktail of pills. That was a bit of foreshadowing for later. The doctor tells Indy she's too young to have that disease and so more tests are needed. When Lindy's in her room, she takes her tablet with her and looks for the rogue signal coming from a wireless router. When she sees Erika again. She's hooked to a machine which is her heart and her boyfriend Michael (Christian Coulson) leaves the room in anger. He's British and she says that they're not really that close and she doesn't know what he'll do without her.
Lindy finds the signal which is coming from the router in the chapel, placed under a table. The nurse comes back to get her as he finds her there and she replies she's meditating. The nurse glancing back at the table so we consider him a suspect. He was too obvious though. It's time for her lumbar puncture and Tommy comes in the nick of time to save her. Telling them he's her fiance and she didn't tell him she was coming here. The doctor tells him to hug her, it'll be easier and he needs to have one too if they're intimate. Doctor Wells comes in and takes over. Saving them both. George finds the tablet that was used for the hack belongs to Lawrence Kennedy, the nurse (Tobin Mitnik) . But Lindy notices the tablets are left at the nurse's station, so anyone can take them. Lawrence's social media page, shows Lawrence was in Chicago at that time.
Erika's machine stops functioning and she dies. With a suspicious Michael attempting to fiddle with it. Lindy questions Michael asking what job she did and he doesn't tell her, but she reads the name of the company from his ID on his coat. Yeah what is it with people wearing their IDs everywhere they go. Hate that! Either they're showing off, or advertizing to the world where they work. She asks George to check out the company and turns out he and Erica both worked for a company manufacturing viruses. The virus was triggered at the same time Erica's TOD was recorded. Michael tells them she developed the virus and she wanted to use it to get revenge cos they couldn't save her. It's stopped by a kill switch but he doesn't know where it is. Which is what Lindy saw him frantically searching for in her room. As the virus is triggered all the systems shutdown in the hospital causing dangerous chaos.
George looks at the camera security footage and the kill switch is very tiny as they see Erika swallow it. They have to remove it from her DB in the morgue. Tommy is nervous about finding it and George gives them instructions. Lindy says they'll do it together, as Det Yeager (Marcus Callender) tries to find Doctor Wells. Who eventually does it for them. Lindy heads to the server room and they need a password. It's not the name of the drug that destroyed her liver. It's something different. Lindy gets a call from the Virtual (I know it's meant to be Flirtual but I like Virtual better) Killer who tells her she needs his help which she does. He says she should try the chemical formula of the drug. Disaster averted. "I have such high hopes" he intones.
Doctor Wells asks about Lindy and Tommy says it's hard to explain what she does with him. Doc's not engaged she just wears her grandmother's ring so she doesn't get asked out by patients. She'll call him. Lindy gets home and finds a package outside which is from Jake obviously. It's a cookbook from around the world and he apologizes for missing dinner, until next time.
Still it appears it's Ben who's the killer, I know I keep saying that. But never mind. We get an ep where the killer strikes and then one where he takes a backseat, so it's no wonder the show didn't last. People must've gotten tired of the format. This episode wasn't that good, it's fairly routine, it was obvious Erika was behind the virus, she must've been one sick person (no pun) sick in the head to make those innocent patients suffer like that. It's not like they were responsible for her condition. Same as the Killer, he's one sick in the head psycho too. Tommy's line of having half a brain to access the system was a bit harsh under the circumstances especially that boy in the opening getting brain surgery! ICU in the title needs no explanation of course! Unless it's referring to the Killer watching Lindy. Yeager asking George how he sleeps at night, "on my back or in the foetel position if it's cold."
