Last scene briget moynahan big herpes sore.


Wtf? The scene on the lawn with the old russian guy she has a prominent outbreak. They couldnt use makeup or shoot another day?

Maybe herpes, maybe not:

During the earlier scene at the hospital when power generators were started and electricity came back, she had a bleeding wound in her lip right at the same spot. You can clearly see it when she says they'll do anything they can to help (or something like that).

Herpes may become active if stress levels rise up. Well, right after ***nuking*** Baltimore that's quite obvious thing to happen. We should be happy her stress levels decreased in couple of days so that at the White House lawn her herpes was already getting better...

Or: was it just a glass sharpnel or any other injury caused by the blastwave...? And it just did not heal fully within that time...?

Well, you decide ;-)

Yes, she'd been through a lot. Not sure how someone can claim it's herpes with any high degree of accuracy.🐭

Wound from the blast so obviously.

Remember, that bomb that kind of exploded in her city?

reply

Nuclear Bombs cause Herpes?

Does the medical profession know this? If we were waiting for ONE good reason to get rid of Nukes, THIS is it...surely.

(Either that or she had a cut lip from all that flying glass during the detonation. Your call.)
