Fridge Brilliance
- A throw-away line about the dried-out Shambler Zombies that didn't get out of the sun. "You should see what happens when it rains…" July is the rainiest month in Las Vegas.
- How come Guzman's aim is so good despite holding his firearms sideways? Most likely, that is how he learned how to use and shoot with them. Meaning that he knows from experience where to hold his gun to get the target he aims for with accurate results.
- Kate decides to join the mission to find Geeta because Geeta's children need their mother back. This is an Idiot Ball decision since while she did experience and survive the initial outbreak, she's an untrained civilian and she's risking the only other person who cares for those children - herself. While that's true, Kate is demonstrating "chasing losses" behavior common among Vegas gamblers. Gamblers who have lost will bet more at higher risk to try to make up the difference and end up losing more.
Fridge Horror
- When Cummings checks Kate's temperature, he mentions that she's down a couple decibels but still within the margin of error, implying that the zombie infection lowers your body temperature. Considering the human body's default method of fighting infection is to raise its temperature in order to burn out the threat, this suggests that the zombie infection is able to bypass the human immune system entirely.
- Lilly recruits an Asshole Victim for the team specifically as a sacrifice within Vegas. Lilly has a reputation for escorting people inside - she's done this before. How many people has she offered to the alphas? If she didn't target this specific, egregious asshole for the sacrifice before, were the others just members of the run who could disappear without questions? Or were there so many horrible people in the camp that she's been working her way down from even bigger assholes?
- Lily is shown to have a pretty strong code (like not bringing someone in if they would leave children at the camp), and the alphas are said to care about showing reverence to them, and only if they need to head toward the centre of the town, which is unlikely to be as frequent. It's possible that animals or other things could work as well, and likely that there were other greedy assholes to use.
- The extent of Lily's moral code is claiming that she didn't know that Geeta had kids, and Geeta was quite vocal about her motivation for wanting to go into the quarantine zone. Lily later rants to Martin about how the zombies are so much better than regular people because of how they don't betray one another...which rings completely hollow considering that no matter how awful Cummings was prior to the job, she undeniably betrayed him, and she has clearly done the same to others before.
- It’s mentioned in the beginning that Cummings and other officials have the power to make people in the quarantine camp who display symptoms of the zombie virus disappear after taking them away for isolation. Lily is likely paying off several important people to get away with what she does. It’s possible some of the people who never return from isolation because they’re deemed troublemakers are given to her to be used as sacrifices.

- The relationship between Zeus and his queen looks strangely adorable. Then you remember that Zeus could only produce a queen by capturing a live woman, biting her and holding onto her until she turned into one of his alphas, all of which happened against her will. The whole thing is like a fantastic take on Stockholm Syndrome.
Fridge Logic
- Quite a few viewers pointed out that the helicopter on the roof of the casino was too small to take out of the city all members of Ward's group.
- Although, this foreshadows that Tanaka doesn't want them to survive the mission and that Martin was the only one who was supposed to come out of the city alive.
- A Huey can seat up to 13 people. At best, a better calculator of Tanaka's intention is that 250 million dollars, even in 100 dollar bills, will weigh over a ton.
- Lilly the cayote enters the danger zone through a container which has its doors barred from the inside. Who closes and bars the doors behind her, and lets her back in after her regular missions?
