WTF!!

" Will you bite my wife" for some reason that line just cracked me up. That and the expression on the wife's face .

That was such a great line, really cracked me up. Funny thing is that it is only the second best ending line to a TV episode that I've heard this week, because the best one was South Park S20E03. (Can't explain the line without context, so you'll just have to watch it.)

As for Murphy's bites, I don't understand why he keeps biting people on the face, surely he can bite them on the hand or something. I know it's mainly so us viewers can easily identify who has been "Murphied", but they could make it just as clear with an arm, leg, neck or hand bite.

Murphy has his own "Operation Bite-Mark"

I wondered why the guy didnt ask murphy to bite both of them, didnt know why he just wanted him to bite his wife. Kinda gave some strange offering type vibe to me. We dont know the full extent of what murphy biting normal people does, the couple whom he left his daughter with lost their fine motor skills and looked like they were becoming full zombies. Maybe the writers will change it in due course, they have a doctor and are planing to do some research.

Also anyone know if dr.kurian is alive or dead?

The wife looked sick. So I guess the husband just wanted her to be better just like the child. They don't know yet what Murphys bite really does to a person.

We know Kurians head is still alive. But so far we don't know it's whereabouts. Last seen at the Zeros compound.

I think they went with the line "Could you please bite my wife?" because it sounds humourous and absurd, which is exactly what this show aims to be.
Murphy will most likely bite both of the parents either way.

Another possibility is that the parents didn't feel confident enough to just go up to Murphy and demand that he bite them, so just in case Murphy doesn't want to just "hand out free bites", the husband was just making sure his wife got treatment before him.

I imagine it was a toss up between the line "Bite my wife" and "Bite me" in the writer's room, and they ended up opting for the former. "Bite us" or "bite me and my wife" just doesn't sound as good.
