Oh yeah. Just like a cliff-hanger ending to any modern US 24-parter - gets you biting your @rse. I imagine they'd be the lab that first developed the virus and accidentally let it loose. Expect we'll find out on Tue/Thu whenever 2nd part is.

BTW really enjoying the latest Dickens from BBC - "Little Dorrit" - excellent. Published in half-hour epos, just like Chaz used to issue his stories.

Of course, for us, on the BBC it's nice neat half-hour epos but for the US would fill a good hour slot! :-)
