Recap of Common Side Effects episodes 1 and 2

The show begins with Marshall being kicked out of a pharmaceutical event and meeting up with his old friend, Frances. He tells her about a new drug that he has discovered that can cure all diseases. While telling her about this, he starts getting stalked by the DEA agents Copano and Harrington. Marshall then explains to Frances where the drug grows and how he found it in Peru.

However, Marshall soon realized that he felt like he was being stalked and escaped the area. On the other hand, Frances discusses the drug with her boss Rick, who is the CEO of Reutical. When Marshall reaches home, he notices that his alarm systems are going off and he soon realizes that the DEA is conducting a raid on him. He then escapes and quickly contacts Frances.

Elsewhere, Connor - a Reutical employee in Peru - meets with a politician named Cecily, whom the company is financing. He tells her about Marshall using the drug on an ill child who gets instantly cured.

While Cecily isn't sure about the story's validity, she gets confronted by Jonas, who happens to be a board member of Reutical. He then hires bounty hunters to kill Marshall as the situation is escalated to the government.

Marshall, who is still on the run, meets Frances. She continues to research the mushroom and goes to Marhshall's house to research it further, but he destroys any evidence of it and eventually destroys his house as well after the DEA raid. Marshall then gets attacked by the bounty hunters and escapes them, and Frances escapes within an inch of her life.

Jonas then gets to know that Marshall has escaped and to ensure that things don't go any further, he shoots Connor in the head, too.
