The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy season 1 ended with Dr. Sleech and Dr. Klak developing an anxiety cure that partially works
In the last few episodes of The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy season 1, Dr. Sleech and Dr. Klak were on opposite sides when deciding what must be done to the mutated worm after capturing it. While Dr. Sleech believed that they should kill the worms, Dr. Klak wanted to harness them to create a cure for anxiety.
Henceforth, through a series of events, Dr. Klak and Dr. Sleech joined forces and worked towards removing the mutation from the worms that was causing them to behave in absurd ways. They then attempted to extract a cure for anxiety from those worms.
When the cure was put to the test, it was observed that it did not work on everyone. For instance, Dr. Klak, who was keen on getting a cure for the mental health issue she was facing, did not have any luck with it.
The show attributed the same to the existence of scar tissue in Dr. Klak's brain. The same emerged when he had put Larvin inside his brain, leading to permanent damage to the tissues of his brain cells.
