    • Trivia
      Rochelle shows Laurel a "parasagittal scan of a healthy cranial cavity"; however the image is a horizontal (aka transverse) image. Horizontal sections start at the top and progress downward; parasagittal sectioning starts at the side and moves toward the middle.

      [musical recap]

      Choral Singers: Previously on BrainDead...

      Jonathan Coulton: Remember how there was / A meteor from outer space? / Brain-eating space bugs roam around / As if they own the place / Red Wheatus is controlled by them / But Gareth, Luke, and Laurel aren't yet / Does Laurel like him? Kinda, sort of / Maybe yes she does / They rocked the Tax Prom / It's the lamest prom that ever was / They scheme against each other / And the end up with some feelings they regret / Laurel sees two old friends / For a while she pretends / But Abby isn't who she used to be / Something really isn't right / She went crazy overnight / Now she's having Stacie back for tea / Ella calls for Luke's replacement / Scarlett thinks that sex is gross / Gustav starts investigating / When a second head explodes / That's all the time I have / Because this episode's too long.
