When Andy (Missy Peregrym) and Cruz (Rachael Ancheril) get exposed to drugs contaminated with Anthrax the pair find themselves quarantined and forced to get far closer to each other and a nervous lab tech (Jim Annan) than either of them planned while the rest of 15 Division frantically searches for the source. Blackstone (Louis Ferreira) is called in to lead the efforts, which allows a jealous Gail (Charlotte Sullivan) to not so subtly prod him for information on just how close Nick (Peter Mooney) got to Andy on their undercover assignment. Although Blackstone can offer no solid answers to her questions, he also can’t deny her suspicions.

“What does one wear to a wedding/prison sentencing?”

Although there’s no body, and only circumstantial evidence of a crime even being committed, Peter (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) and Jared (Breckin Meyer) step in to defend an old friend (Eddie Jemison) who stands accused of the murder of his roommate, an infamous practical joker known as Freck (Kasey Mahaffy).

Although the rest of the team quickly accepts Starfire‘s (Hynden Walch) new parasite “Perry” growing out of her stomach, who is far more interested in celebrating the Tamaran tradition of Feast Day than her fellow Titans, Robin (Scott Menville) suspects that the telepathic alien means all of them grave harm.

Beware the Batman – Hunted

Title: Beware the Batman – Hunted

In my opinion any attempt to make a Batman-inspired cartoon is doomed to pale in comparison to the Batman: The Animated Series. Given the extreme liberties taken with the designs of Batman’s rogues gallery I could never get into The Batman, but I will admit a fondness for the sheer glee in which Batman: The Brave and the Bold embraced the Silver Age ridiculousness of the character (even offering us Catman riding his giant robotic cat in one episode!).

Title: Perception – Toxic
tv.com: link

To get out of helping Kate (Rachael Leigh Cook) on a case involving a millionaire who made his fortunes stealing from nursing home residents, and dealing Donnie’s (Scott Wolf) suggestion that she has romantic feelings for her former professor, Daniel Pierce (Eric McCormack) agrees help to help an environmental activist (Lisa Sheridan) with a bizarre case of several young women in a small town all developing ticks and mannerisms similar to Turrets Syndrome in the space of only a few days (even if that means braving planes, hotel rooms, and angry mobs of locals who will go to any lengths to make sure the plant isn’t closed). The activist believes their conditions may have been caused by harmful chemicals from a nearby plant, but the more he investigates the more Daniel begins to think something entirely different is at play.
