'Limitless' Season 1 Episode 16 Recap: Sands is injured.

With only a few episodes left till the end of its first season, the hit TV series ‘Limitless’ has been widely received by its loyal band of followers and viewers. And now with the revelations and storyline of its recent episode, many are curious as to what will happen next for the show. But before we talk about the next episode, let us all have a little discussion on what was episode 16 titled “Sands, Agent of Morra”, all about. So if you haven’t seen it, then spoilers alert!

The episode kicks off with the return of Brian’s sister, Rachel, who once again comes over for Thai food and a fantasy show that may or may not be ‘Game of Thrones’.  Brian and Rachel’s super chill night, however, is interrupted by the arrival of a bleeding and very grumpy Sands, who has an enormous shard of glass lodged in his thigh and needs Brian to take an NZT pill and remove it — without calling 911 or Sen. Morra.

We all know Sands to be a tough and bad-ass person who is your standard-issue British henchman, the kind of suave bad guy who has a penchant for dark liquor and clandestine meetings in the dark. But in this episode, we got to see a vulnerable side of him. That after all, he is just a human who can still die from severe bleeding.

Brian has to rely on his extensive medical knowledge — a.k.a. reading his brother’s med school textbooks once — to complete this impromptu game of Operation and remove the glass, but as soon as he does, Sands immediately collapses with a blocked lung, and Brian has to stab him in the chest with a knitting needle.

But, surprisingly enough, Sands was able to recuperate quickly and get back to business as he crossed a name off a mysterious piece of paper, and informed Brian that he still needs his help — and a change of clothes.

So what is in that mysterious paper? Stay tuned for more updates.
