Storyline

Director Merrick needs the team to help rescue peace talks between top delegations from White Russia, Latvia and Lithuania, whose border dispute may escalate into an East European war that could trigger World war III. Paige seems to break the ice by bringing them together in a vodka ritual, but president Kreshenko collapses, poisoned. Walter's team must urgently identify the snake venom and culprit, and manufacture and administer an antidote within hours, despite security agents holding everyone off at gunpoint. Walter faces his fears in the nearest reptile center, which legally can't cooperate, and helps Paige make a history exam in time.

Goofs

Mitzy Von Schneiden is neither a Lithuanian surname or a Latvian name. "von" indicates a noble father's lineage in German. So she couldn't have a Lithuanian father or her surname would be more Lithuanian (like "Sudeikis", "Gedminas" for example).

Quotes

Dr. Chong: I'll just inject them with ferret blood without processing it. A million-to-one shot, but what choice do we have?
Toby Curtis: [Toby grabs Dr. Chong] You're not taking a million-to-one shot with my friend's life! You understand that? If you come near him with that ferret, I'm going to cram that furry little dude up into a place it can never run away from! You understand?

User Reviews

Shocking

The dumbest TV episode ever made. No sense to comment absolute nonsense. I hardly can afford to write ten lines about this weed-vision of the real world. Too shy to name real problem in this part of Europe: Big Bear out of leash? If you want just entertain F-grades, please don't use real names.In classic TV shows no one uses real country names in these type of adventure-fiction ("Mission impossible").It's very rude to talk about real countries without knowing elementary facts. Venom and killing of the first born son, oh it's not The Games of Thrones.You are far off off off their league. This show declining very fast.
