Yet at this point, Julia had no reason to suspect that he wasn't human. She checked him but couldn't find a pulse, so she quickly prepared an injection in an attempt to "shock him back to life." The episode ends with her holding the needle over Michael's arm. Let's think about this for a second. The absence of a pulse indicates that her patient's heart is not adequately circulating blood, and in the absence of CPR, any medication entering his bloodstream through his arm is just going to sit there. <sigh>
Now that's a good point!
As for Michael's death, I'm only saying that it must have been a nasty process for Michael, as hard as a dying process, since
everyone treated it as if it was. Julia needed to observe a deterioration that would lend credence to the death story they were concocting, and she's a doctor and wouldn't easily be fooled (never mind about Liz's "death"). This makes this part of the plot make sense, and I'm sick of watching Leviathans and enduring what seem to me to be nonsensical plot twists. I'm starting to see some intelligence at work this time around, and man am I relieved.
