What this episode covers
The virus approaches the cell membrane, but the membrane doesn't recognize it as an invader. After the virus infiltrates the cell, it removes its disguise and takes over! The viral DNA replicates instead of the cell's own DNA. Now there are more virions than ever, and more cells are going to be invaded. However, some of the virions have come across a cell that might give them some trouble.
