Alienation - Recap

A wife suddenly faints while having a bridal shower. With 5 patients in the hospital and 3 of them already dead, the NIH is summoned to the medical center in Philadelphia. The first commonality they found was that all 5 patients live every close to each other. However, that commonality automatically disappear when a couple of Africans check in with the same condition. Dr. Natalie Durant tests the patients and finds out that they have anthrax. As Connor and Frank Powell go out to find the source and hope to stop it from infecting more people and Dr. Miles McCabe staying behind in the hospital to watch the patients, Eva Rossi tries to keep the anthrax scare from hitting the public. Her job is made harder when one of the reporter grab an inside source about the anthrax and threaten to spread it to the public. Although Eva is able to keep the scare down during the press conference, the team know they must hurry and find the source.

Connor and Frank went to the butcher shop, where the Africans work. Since the Africans work with meat and anthrax does come from animals, they believe they found the source. However, the test results of the meat comes out negative. They then went to a flea market, a place where the Africans performs music. Connor thinks about the drum the African plays with and then realizes the drum is made out of animal skin. They went to their house, find the drum, and the results come back positive. It turns out when the African plays the drum, spores of anthrax is released into them. How did the wife and other patients got infected? It turns out that they were all very near the drum when the Africans were playing and got infected by the spores when they got close to give money.
