The one with another Cortexikid! Poor James Heath. And his victims. (So much for the Cortexikids being immune to each other, Walter.)

Cortexikids all in a row

Writer: Matthew Pitts
Director: Brad Anderson
Originally aired: 8 Apr 2010

Synopsis:
A rapid-onset disease threatens to spread when a perfectly healthy woman is found dead, just minutes after meeting a mysterious man from Olivia's past. The science team investigates as the inexplicable fatalities mount. Olivia struggles to keep Walter’s secret from Peter, finding solace in the advice of a familiar counselor.

Most Memorable Quote:

OLIVIA: You thinking what I'm thinking?

PETER: Well, I'm thinking that cancer isn't contagious.

OLIVIA: Well, it wouldn't be the strangest thing we've seen. But it would be close.

PETER: That trip down to Jacksonville was crazy. We were both exhausted. We were both emotional. And, you know, if something had happened between the two of us, I mean, if we had actually kissed, then we'd have to deal with that, but we didn't.

OLIVIA: No. No, we didn't.

PETER: Right. You know, this past year, this is the longest I've ever stayed in one place. So this thing that we have, you, me, Walter, this... this... uh, little family unit that we've got going... I don't want to do anything to jeopardize that.
