On Day 3, Dr. Ellis Cheever passes by Roger and tells him he did a good job picking the winners in the football betting pool.

On Day 14, Dr. Cheever hangs up the phone after warning Aubrey Cheever about the epidemic and Roger is standing outside his office and then leaves after telling Dr. Cheever he has family too. On Day 133, Dr. Cheever gives his own dose of the vaccine to Anthony, and Anthony thanks Dr. Cheever and Roger shakes Dr. Cheever's hand.
