Ep 3. Fever

Quinn and his sliding team arrive on a world where a deadly plague epidemic is sweeping through the population. The group quickly realize that they themselves have been exposed to the virus, and they must find a cure before the virus kills them and others.

They stumble upon a hospital where they meet Dr. Geiger, the only doctor working to find a cure for the virus. Dr. Geiger tells the group that the virus is caused by excessive exposure to sunlight, and that it is highly contagious. He reveals that his own daughter was infected by the virus, and this motivates the group to help him find a cure.

The team splits up and each member sets out to find a solution in their own way. Quinn and Wade investigate an abandoned lab where they find a serum that can cure the virus. They bring the serum back to the hospital, but Dr. Geiger refuses to use it, stating that it could be too dangerous. Meanwhile, Rembrandt and Arturo accidentally find themselves in a group of infected people and must find a way to escape without getting infected themselves.

As the virus continues to spread, the team becomes desperate for a solution. Arturo decides to take matters into his own hands by using the serum to save his own life. Dr. Geiger sees the success of Arturo's self-administered cure and agrees to use the serum on other infected patients.

Despite the serum's success, the group faces another obstacle in getting off the infected world and back to their own world. They must still find the particular slide that will take them back home. With their time running out quickly, the group must work together to find the slide and escape the plague.

Overall, "Fever" is a gripping episode that highlights the team's resilience and resourcefulness in the face of a deadly epidemic. The episode is filled with suspense and tension, as the team's exposure to the virus adds a personal stake to the crisis. Quinn, Wade, Arturo, and Rembrandt's individual storylines add depth to the plot, while Dr. Geiger's motivations and reluctance to use the serum provide a strong emotional arc. "Fever" is a strong addition to the Sliders series, and exemplifies the show's ability to combine science fiction and drama.
