Your Body Is Part of the Job

Samuel's 103-degree fever in Chicago and collapse in a bathroom on a protective detail becomes the episode's center: a guard who collapses endangers everyone. Marcus and Darius work through his book's warnings on pills, energy drinks, and burnout, reframing sleep, food, and movement as professional duty rather than self-indulgence. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 and Mark 6:31 carry the theme of rest as stewardship; includes an explicit lived-experience-not-medical-advice framing.
