Part 3/9:
Amid the chaos, we are introduced to Ephraim Goodweather, the head of the CDC's rapid response team. Ephraim faces personal turmoil as his wife, Kelly, informs him of her intent to divorce him for another man. Their counseling session is cut short as Ephraim is urgently dispatched to the airport, where he and his team grapple with the assumption that all passengers on the flight have perished.
A Race Against Time
As Ephraim and his colleagues arrive at the scene, they are met with skepticism from homeland security officials, who suspect a terrorist attack rather than a viral outbreak. Ephraim effectively argues the potential catastrophic nature of viral infections, ultimately securing approval to investigate the aircraft.
