01E18 - Once Bitten, Twice Die

Director Merrick needs the team to help rescue peace talks between top delegations from White Russia, Latvia and Lithuania, whose border dispute may escalate into an East European war that could trigger World war III. Paige seems to break the ice by bringing them together in a vodka ritual, but president Kreshenko collapses, poisoned. Walter's team must urgently identify the snake venom and culprit, and manufacture and administer an antidote within hours, despite security agents holding everyone off at gunpoint. Walter faces his fears in the nearest reptile center, which legally can't cooperate, and helps Paige make a history exam in time.
