   Summary

   Ilya gets the flu and his fever spikes high enough that he starts slipping into Russian, reliving memories of being punished for showing weakness as a kid. Shane doesn't understand the words, but he can hear the fear—and has to keep Ilya grounded while the fever works its way through his system.
