Someone want to explain to me what's with all this bird-flu nonsense all of a sudden? I realize it's out there. I understand the extremely scary threat that it poses. But do we really need all this crazy television coverage? First ABC has that bird-flu TV movie, and now CBS has an entire episode of Numb3rs devoted to it. I guess people just like to be scared.

Fortunately, this episode had a lot of other good stuff happening. Larry is back, and it's a good thing. His comic relief was sorely missed in last week's episode. Plus, the romance between Charlie and Amita has started to heat up... well, sort of.
