Part 2/8:
In a desperate bid to eliminate the cockroach population and stop the epidemic, Dr. Peter Mann, the Deputy Head of the Center for Disease Control (CDC), recruits entomologist Susan Tyler. Together, they engineer the Judas bug to accelerate the cockroaches' metabolism, causing them to starve and die off at an accelerated rate. The plan works effectively, and within months, the disease is eradicated. The couple celebrates their success by tying the knot, seemingly closing the chapter on their entomological endeavors.
