Ed Campbell, Our Man for Recap and Exposition.

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 8343

"Well," said Campbell, "having tested your drug on the rats and decided it was safe to try it out on human beings--" He gave Stacy a sympathetic smile when she winced at this, and went on: "You put out a call for volunteers. By the way, I hate to say this, but I had a look at the waiver you had people sign, and I kind of doubt it'll stand up in court." Stacy winced again. "Anyway, as you know, you tested it on four people, counting yourself. I've got names and addresses for the other two if you're interested. Now, you told me..." He paused to shuffle through some notes. "Ah, here we go. You told me that four people wasn't enough of a sample to be scientifically significant, but you figured it was a start, and you hoped to try it on more people later. You never did, of course."

"Thank goodness for that!" interjected Donald.

"Yeah, well," Campbell went on, "I've got some technical notes here, too." He handed Stacy a piece of paper. "That's the chemical formula for the drug, or so you said. Means nothing to me, of course..."

Stacy looked at the formula written on the paper.

  1. It was identical to the formula in Susan's notebooks: the drug they had given to the rats. Well, no surprise there.
  2. Wait a minute... This wasn't quite the same formula as what was in Susan's notebooks!
  3. It was the drug that had been tested on the rats, sure enough. But a scribbled note next to it was what caught Stacy's attention.
