Why is Jerry Ortega making an appearance?
This episode seems to have two characters that we're sure to focus on. One of course is Jorge Garcia as Jerry and the other is 'Terminator's Robert Patrick as Ian Cain. The other guest stars include Carey Van Driest as Dr Novak, Sunny Mabrey as a recruiter, Daniel O'Callaghan as an older man/Dr. Viskoff and Jordan Trovillion as a nurse. Episode 7 also saw Frankie back played by Aly Michalka! It seems as though these guest stars bring a lot of substance to the episodes and the streak continues on to episode 8! It seems that Jerry is set to help Taylor and Bozer work through another Codex mess!
