Phil is currently in the elation stage of that process.
Sadly, that stage isnt going to last long.
This episode doesnt exactly end well, though it does begin with a celebration.

I still cant believe Im not sterile, Phil cheers after finding out that Carol is indeed pregnant.
You didnt masturbate too much after all!
Its all interrupted when Gail busts in and claims that she just saw a flying record player.
No, wait, it was flying skillets.
No, hold on, two hovering griddles.
Nope, still not it: They were floating hair dryers, and they were staring right at me.
In other words, Gail saw a drone.
Later on, Mike and Erica get some alone time together to talk about her previous life in Australia.
Meet Amanda Williams, averyAmerican young woman who loves her sorority.
They just latched onto the Australia thing and stopped right there.
Things are going well!
Maybe Mike can claim the title of babydaddy to her future child that is, if he survives.
Fast forward to a bit later, and Mikes coughing as hes milking the cow.
Its not just a throat-clearing cough: Out comes blood, a.k.a.
one of the symptoms of the dreaded virus.
Isnt post-apocalyptic romance sweet?
(Thats not sarcasm.
It totally is.)
This is when it gets heavy.
I thought I had lost him forever, Phil tells everyone.
What are the chances?
The entire world dies?
Theres seven of us?
And my brother shows up?
That is not a coincidence.
I said goodbye to him once.
Im not going to do it again.
He has a friggin cold.
Everyone files out, leaving Phil alone to sing Falling Slowly once (get it?!)
again with his sick brother.
By the time Phil wakes up, Mike is out of the bubble.
But theres a note: So long, Phil, it reads.
Didnt want you to have to say goodbye again… Now, that chance is being cut short too short.
Where did the virus come from?
What if someone else gets it?
And, most importantly, who the hell is Phil going to sing Falling Slowly with?
