3	A group of drunken teenagers take a late-night joyride and hit a passerby, who happens to be a zombified Sebastian, the Max Rager goon from "Mr Berserk". As they cover up the accident, he comes back to life and attacks one of the girls.
4
5	After Liv consumes what's left of the girl’s brain, she is taken back to high school as she and Clive investigate the case. A surprise death of one of the victim’s friends raises some serious questions about the case.

9	----
10	* AffectionateNickname: The zombie rat, Hope.
11	* ChekhovsGun: Remember five episodes ago, when Liv's brother had a Meat Cute application he was filling out? Turns out he's finally decided to return it...
12	* ContinuityNod: The sketch artist from "Brother, Can You Spare A Brain?" makes another appearance, and isn't happy to see Liv again.
13	* CrazyPrepared: Major buys a number of guns from a black market dealer, this time focused on anti-zombie weaponry.
14	--->'''Dealer:''' Do you have any need for a grenade?\
15	''[beat]''\
16	'''Major:''' ''[FascinatingEyebrow]''
17	* FakeBand: The Ass Hats.
18	* FightScene: Liv vs Sebastian. A brutal and unbloody knife fight that ends with Liv stabbing Sebastian in the head - with a knife that is already stuck through her own hand.
19	* GenreSavvy: One of the band members who is being hunted by Sebastian references ''Film/IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer'', deciding to just come clean to the cops in order to get protection. Unfortunately, she's not quite savvy enough, as when she gets a suspicious text from her boyfriend suggesting she slip away from her police escort, she obeys without thinking.
20	* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Peyton is knocked out cleanly by Sebastian. Liv does not go down so easily and is rewarded for her trouble with several stab wounds, including an impaled hand.
21	* InternalReveal: Liv tells Peyton she's a zombie, and also learns that Sebastian survived their fight on the boat.
22	* PutOnABus: Peyton leaves town after learning Liv is a zombie.
23	* ShoutOut:
24	** "I'm not going to prison. Have you seen Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack? I'm not taking a shower wearing tampon sandals."
25	** "If you start lighting candles and blasting [[Music/BritneySpears Work Bitch]], I'm intervening."
26	** Ravi calls Liv "Creator/{{Cheech\|and Chong}}", while she's watching WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry.
27	** The episode borders on being a WholePlotReference to ''Film/IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer''. To the point where Teresa actually refers to the movie.
28	** A two-pronged nod to the 2000 flick ''Film/ButImACheerleader'', both as TitleDrop--see top-of-page pic--and to the series' own ThemeSong, which has a comic-book caption saying "[[ParOdy But I'm A Zombie"]].
29	* TheStoner: Nate, another victim. Liv gets this by eating his brains.
30	* WhamShot:
31	** Peyton woke up before Liv went back to normal mode.
32	** Blaine has captured Major when Liv's brother comes inside to deliver his job application.
33	* WhamEpisode: Peyton learns about zombies and that Liv is one, Major gets captured by Blaine, who is also going to do something to Liv's brother, who unknowingly turns in a job application at Blaine's deli.
