Medium Recap, Season 6, Episode 10 – You Give Me Fever – air date 12/04/09. In this episode Alison’s visions take on a desperate importance after samples of a deadly disease disappear. He virus is spread by people to people, and has an 85% mortality rate.

Alison dreams about a car crash – and then sees it happen on her way to get a flu shot. She then develops flu-like symptoms, tells this to one of the detectives she works with, and is visited at home, early in the morning, by medical personnel in bio-hazard suits. It seems that the man in the crash – a man who worked for the company that owned the viral samples – was infected, and meant to kill himself.

The information on the crash is televised – the next day, Alison goes to work, only to find out that 20% of the staff has called in sick, and a good percentage of the rest of them are wearing bio-masks.

Alison has a dream about the head of the bio company – that he is the one creating the problem. He has infected a male employee that he is in a relationship with – which, in the end, goes badly. Alison confronts the company head, who denies everything, and tells her she has no proof anyway. By a strange twist of fate, he compromises his own immune system, and dies of the regular flu.

The good news – Detective Scanlon asks for Lynn for her hand in marriage – and she accepts!

Quite an interesting – and realistic – episode.
