24 episodesIntroducing Victoria
In this new spin on Mary Shelley's classic "Frankenstein," soon-to-be MD, Victoria Frankenstein (Anna Lore) has decided to document her scientific experiments in her university's laboratory. In this episode, she explores electrophysiology with help from her subject/co-host Iggy DeLacey (Steve Zaragoza) and with some rather shocking results.
The Truth About Fake Blood
After last week's minor mishap, Victoria's discussion of the uses of synthetic blood is sidetracked when Dr. Abraham Waldman stops by the lab for a rather serious chat about bioethics. Victoria remains stubborn in her optimistic goals to achieve the scientifically impossible.
Anaesthetics vs. Paralytics
Victoria (Anna Lore) is joined by old hometown friends Eli Lavenza (Brendan Bradley) and Rory Clerval (Sara Fletcher) in a voluntary drug trial. Meanwhile, Victoria carries out her own drug experiment, using her friends as unwitting subjects in demonstrating the difference between paralytic and anesthetic drugs.
Magnetic Brain Stimulation
In this week's round of experimentation, Victoria (Anna Lore) and Iggy (Steve Zaragoza) investigate the effects of electromagnetic induction. Meanwhile, Eli (Brendan Bradley) checks in to report the side effects he is experiencing in the ongoing drug trial.
Mind Control Rats
Despite Dr. Waldman's (Kevin Rock) skepticism, Victoria (Anna Lore) and Iggy (Steve Zaragoza) manage to successfully utilize optogenetics in this experiment to manipulate their lab rat's movements. However, when the trial eventually takes a turn for the tragic, Victoria and Iggy are forced to take immediate action.
Frozen Rats
In a hasty attempt to save their lab rat, Victoria (Anna Lore) and Iggy (Steve Zaragoza) have cryopreserved him, and now, armed with a plan, it's time to bring him back to life. Their attempt, however, is interrupted by a low-spirited Rory (Sara Fletcher) checking in with her drug trial progress.
Natural Remedies
Finally at the conclusion of their ongoing drug trial, Victoria (Anna Lore), Eli (Brendan Bradley), and Rory (Sara Fletcher) review Victoria's analysis of the experiment, and receive their final results. Meanwhile, Iggy (Steve Zaragoza) pops in to propose a new sleep deprivation study.
Sleep Deprivation
Several days into their sleep deprivation study, Victoria (Anna Lore) and Iggy (Steve Zaragoza) test their physical and mental capabilities in their hilariously sleep-deprived state. Their efforts, however, are interrupted by some tragic news about their friend.
Great and Sudden Change
In a less-than-stable mental state after losing her friend, Victoria (Anna Lore) resolves to take a look at the circumstances surrounding his death. Despite interruptions from Eli (Brendan Bradley) and Dr. Waldman (Kevin Rock), she is insistent on exploring the theoretical treatments that could have potentially saved his life.
Build-a-Bone
Victoria (Anna Lore) and Iggy (Steve Zaragoza) utilize 3D printing technology to construct a super-strong, specialized bone. Rory (Sara Fletcher) is called in to assist in testing the strength of their product, resulting in a surprise altercation with Eli (Brendan Bradley), who is also assisting in the lab.
The Spectacular Spider-Goat
With help from their "borrowed" lab goat, Victoria (Anna Lore) and Iggy (Steve Zaragoza) investigate the role of spider silk and goat milk in engineering stronger human skin. When Victoria decides to test her experiment on Iggy, Dr. Waldman (Kevin Rock) steps in, halting her progress. Both he and Iggy begin to question her ethical standards.
