Added DiffLines:

Steve is on assignment to tail mob hitman Bruno Crespi. Crespi is returning to the states from a Malaysian ship after nearly a year broad, hiding out from the murder of mob boss Danny Baylor. As Steve and his team watch Crespi, he suddenly keels over. Steve brings in Mark to check on the man, and draws a shocking conclusion. Bruno is sick... specifically, with the bubonic plague.

While a doctor with the CDC is blowing his horn about containing the virus and saying Bruno caught it from the rats aboard his ship, Mark is convinced he was tricked into injecting in in his meds in an attempt at murder.


!"The Plague" displays symptoms of the following tropes:

* BaitAndSwitch: Jennifer is seen coming into Community General after hearing a report that Bruno is still alive, and is grabbed by Jack and Steve, then tested for the plague, leading the audience to think the killer has been found. However, we then see Regina walk into Bruno's room disguised as a nurse, and figure out quickly that ''she'' is the real killer.
* DrJerk: Dr. Niven, the CDC blowhard going on about the plague.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Regina killed Spengler to keep him from spilling the beans about the attempted murder.
