Episode X
Episode 10: Countdown. After two massive chemotherapy infusions, Nana had to wait to see if the blood count would rise. She was also under severe threat of infection, as her immune system had been totally incapacitated. If all went well and the cancer was deemed destroyed, the doctors would perform a bone marrow transplant from Lorraine, Nana’s twin sister. Tim’s dilemma was how to have Auntie-Body© leave the story and have Lorraine, the "non-super" heroine provide the marrow.
First Tim had the "Count Dracula©" character show the blood count as very low, but improving. Chemo© and Rad© despair over killing more than just the cancer while Auntie-Body© leaves to get a new weapon to "restore the marrow and blood cells." Tim resolved the problem of having no Auntie-Body© to fight the germs by creating "Auntie-Biotics©." These "robotic" aides were named after some of the nurses who were helping in the cancer treatments.
