- Genetic engineers Clive Nicoli and Elsa Kast hope to achieve fame by successfully splicing together the DNA of different animals to create new hybrid animals for medical use.
- Through the journey of recording artist Sting, we learn how the brain uses music to shape the human experience. As Sting undergoes brain scans to learn how music is manifested in his brain, the film explores how music shapes each stage of our lives. Also featuring Michael Bublé, Feist, Wyclef Jean, and brain scientist/musician Dr. Daniel Levitin.
- Speculations into the philosophical, political and ethical complexities that might arise as sciences continues to evolve 30 or 40 years in the future.
- Attempting to flee his guilt David escapes to China and bums around trying to forget. After six weeks Homeland Security interrogates the team at NORBAC wanting to know why David is in China. David is arrested by the Red Army and taken to a remote location where they want him to investigate a mysterious, virulent pandemic that is killing 2 out of 3 people. David eventually agrees but is appalled by the antiquity of the equipment and the secrecy he must work under. He gets a partial message to NORBAC and after some analysis they reply that the mystery bacteria is an unknown hybrid of two bacteria, one of which causes food poisoning and is not usually fatal! One useful fact provided by NORBAC is that the hybrid contains over 100 copies of the same gene for some unknown reason. David is baffled by the hybrid and doesn't understand the 2-in-3 death rate. The team in NORBAC are frustrated by the lack of communication with David and eventually come to the conclusion that the mysterious bacteria is not a hybrid but the granddaddy of the two individual modern bacteria. While watching an old man draw water with an old-fashioned lift pump, David has a flash of inspiration realizing that the repeated gene is for a pump and that the bacteria must be very old and live in very hostile conditions. With this information the team conclude that survivors are those that have had food poisoning previously. Back at NORBAC, Caroline entertains a new investor. She and Carlos are to attend the Toronto AIDS conference. At the conference she is attacked by a protester and infected with a previously unknown strain of HIV.
- While attending a conference in New York, David chases a petty thief named Owen (Michael Seater) into the city's abandoned subway tunnels where he finds an underground community of homeless people.
- While in Cuba investigating the cause of decimated orange groves in Florida, David and Carlos uncover information that points to a possible bio-terrorist plot on the part of the Cubans. The American President jumps the gun and immediately blames Cuba for the damaged crops.
- Autopsies on a dead deer lead NorBAC to suspect that worms from parasitic eggs are responsible for a recent spike in depression-related suicides in the Southern U.S.
- Jill and the U.S. National Guardsmen begin to recover after receiving the lethargica antidote; but shortly thereafter, the Guardsmen begin to fall ill again with a secondary more deadly infection.
- David returns to Toronto and visits Caroline and Audrey Graves in hospital and explains to her how NORBAC can help her to fight the HIV injected into her. David returns to NORBAC and he team gets to work sequencing the new strain of HIV. They discover it really is a new strain and that none of the standard anti-retro viral drugs will be completely ineffective against it. Mayko Tran has been following the effects of the mass prion infection to see if anything positive has arisen and apparently IQ spikes have been noted in some of the affected children. David returns to Audrey and explains their findings and ask her to use her influence to get samples of all the cutting-edge HIV anti-viral drugs for NORBAC to test. The team try all the combinations to no avail, worse they discover that this strain is very virulent and Audrey becomes HIV+ within days. Also she must have an emergency Cesarean section to save her baby! Mayko contacts Prof. Simon Jessop, a British neuro-scientist, and invites him to NORBAC to study the IQ spikes. In sheer desperation, to help Audrey, David suggests making drug cocktails from the HIV anti-viral's and more common drugs such as Asprin.
- David has less than two days to discover a drug cocktail that will prevent a premature baby from becoming HIV positive.
- NorBAC's investigation into a cluster of suicides occurring in the southern United States uncovers an unnatural enzyme in the brains of the victims.
- Carlos and David and a Cuban scientist look into a claim that an exiled Cuban, now a rich Florida Orange grower, is a victim of bio-terrorism. Bob and Simon Jessup try to help Caroline's Nephew, Glenn.
- NorBAC uses innovative scientific methods to track the source of mutating radiation that is affecting fish on the East Coast of Canada to radioactive fuel rods that were dumped into the Ocean in the 1950s.
- A weaponized biological agent was released during fires on the west coast, NORBAC must find the creator of the agent. However, Rachel is more worried about her son who was attacked by a bear.
- Outbreaks of a deadly virus in San Francisco and Boston have NorBAC scrambling to find a Patient Zero; Owen wastes away in a jail as David and Angelica argue over his treatment options.
- A chef is stricken with the same delirium that caused a bear to attack Rachel's son.
- The team tracks a deadly strain of C.difficile.
- David and Bob investigate simultaneous explosions that incinerated a high tech lab and several of its employees; new virologist Rachel Woods studies the DNA of a gay-basher suspected of killing a fellow student.
- David and Bob become ticking time bombs after ingesting the same deadly bacteria combination that incinerated the Greenway scientists; an anomaly in the genetic makeup of gay-basher Julie Henshaw temporarily puts Rachel off track.
- NorBAC continues to investigate outbursts in San Fransisco, Boston and Tampa, but stumbles upon a possible mercury poisoning in Washington state.
- A link is found between the smallpox scam and the tantalum contamination.
- Magnetobacteria jeopardizes the country's electronic infrastructure.
- A Chinese paleontologist flies into controversy when he discovers a four winged dinosaur and claims it is the missing link between dinosaurs and birds rather than evolving from reptiles. Opposing sides in the controversy prepare skeletal reproductions to demonstrate their position but neither can figure out how the creature could possibly fly, leading to the creation of a detailed, poseable scale model for wind tunnel testing.
- Is today's strong pot damaging young minds? That provocative question is at the heart of this new documentary on recent science discoveries about marijuana and mental illness.
