Cures were injected and zombies were made on the season 1 finale of iZombie, titled “Blaine’s World.”
Super Rager
The episode opens as Julien searches Major’s car for the astronaut brains. Blaine has Major locked in the meat freezer, but Major ain’t spillin’ the cerebellum. Blaine offers Major brain soup as a shelter kid’s body is rolled in on a hook.
Clive talks over Teresa’s body at the morgue, revealing Cameron’s plan to track Sebastian down with “the stuff.” Liv eats Teresa’s brain as Ravi presents to her another successfully cured zombie rat (here’s hoping this one survives the aftereffects). Liv wants the cure now, but Ravi refuses to do such an experimental treatment on her.
Liv has a brain flash of Teresa retrieving Sebastian’s wallet, letting her in on the killer: Max Rager. Speaking of the devil, Vaughn, head of Max Rager, shows a scientist a video of Sebastian murdering a doctor for their brains. Interviewing Vaughn, Clive and Liv reveal to the sleaze that Liv murdered Sebastian, “doing what a boat and car couldn’t.” Damn right! Vaughn references Super Rager, which will allow consumers to never sleep (and turns some into zombies). Sounds safe to us…
Explosive milkshake
Seeing that Cameron’s card was charged at a gas station, Clive and Liv watch the security footage of the teen’s visit, and see Cameron mouth the words “help me.” Ravi figures out that Teresa was killed with pool balls as Clive gets a 9-1-1 recording of Cameron in a trunk.
They track the signal to a car compactor yard, leaving little hope for Cameron’s survival. However, Cameron escaped, and seems to be working for Max Rager. Cameron meets with an assistant of Vaughn’s in a diner, and gets a huge chunk of change for handing over the incriminating thumb drive. As he leaves the diner, the car Cameron was driving explodes as two police officers investigate it.
The homeless man watching after the car gives Clive a description that gets Cameron caught. In Cameron’s interrogation, the teen reveals that a woman calling from Kimber’s phone offered a large amount of reward money for Sebastian’s thumb drive. Teresa didn’t think to turn off the locator on her phone, so Cameron killed her once he realized she was going to the police. And he expects to be tried as a minor?!
Bait and switch
Liv texted Major that the brains were “monkey brains,” leading Blaine on a warpath. Ravi still hasn’t heard back from Peyton. Liv nearly injects herself with the cure when Blaine calls her back on Major’s phone. Liv agrees to bring Blaine the brains.
Searching the dead body in the room, Major finds a lighter. Tricking Liv into thinking that another man was Major, Blaine makes away with the astronaut brains while maintaining his ante card. Pretty boys with wonderful hair must be in abundant supply in Seattle!
Zombie apocalypse begins
Major lights the dead body on fire and traps Blaine’s lackey in the freezer. Our pretty boy loads up on his guns and grenade, and does the entirety of the meat shop in, Rambo style. What are you doing, Major, have no Mercy! There you go, head to the meat slicer.
It’s Julien’s turn, and Major doesn’t hold back. With one pull of a grenade pin, the Candyman is in pieces. But suddenly, Blaine arrives, and stabs Major in the stomach. Liv to the rescue! She shoots Blaine, but spares him for his information on Seattle’s zombie population.
A dying Major learns from Blaine that Liv is a zombie. Liv shoots Blaine up with the cure and scratches Major’s neck to save him. Somehow, Liv thinks it a good idea to let Blaine walk free. Really Liv? Couldn’t have thought to bring handcuffs or, you know, a dog collar or something?
Suzuki discovers the scene and calls off dispatch. He recreates the crime scene before attempting to blow the place. Evan arrives just as the explosion goes off.
Zombie saw God
Liv nurses a zombifying Major back to health as the two discuss her keeping zombies a secret. When Liv offers an everlasting zombie love affair, Major denies her proposition. Ravi looks at a newspaper revealing the negative side effects of Max Rager. When Vaughn learns of the leak, he begins his season 2 brooding, and is soon carted off to jail.
At the exploded meat shop, Clive witnesses a (seemingly) dead Suzuki being wheeled out on a gurney, along with Julien. Clive asks to have Major in for questioning, tying our newfound zombie to the massacre. As Blaine enjoys real food for the first time in a while, Liv injects Major with the other half of the cure. Liv’s mom calls with the news of Evan. Liv decides to let Evan die rather than give him some of the elusive type O blood he needs from her infected zombie body.
