Liv teams up with Blaine to fight a new Big Bad.
Even setting it in the world of magic and illusion didnt give me the drama Ive come to crave.
But my zombie sense tells me that this set-up structure will ultimately lead to one hell of ata-da.

Liv does deliver some pretty dope card tricks, though.
(Apparently Rose McIver learned real tricks for the show.)
This is the best brain ever.
I almost want to start killing magicians so it never ends, says Ravi.
But it feels like the episode lacks the pacing thats become aniZombiehallmark.
Whither the race for tainted Utopium?
Where have all the villains gone?
Its not as much fun to root for the good guys when there are no bad guys in sight.
Perhaps, though, the pacing is, in fact, unsettling enough.
Everyone seems just a little too comfortable with the status quo.
Ravi and Blaine seem to have halted their search of the magic Utopium cure.
Peyton talks about Livs zombie rage like its bad PMS.
(Equal time for Majors abs, I suppose.)
On top of it all, Liv acquiesces to partnering with Blaine just alittletoo easily.
(Although Help me Zombie-Wan Kenobi, youre our only hope would win me over, too.)
But why is everybody so disturbingly mellow all of the sudden?
Bring on the spice!
NEXT: Blaine mentally charms the pants off Peyton
We do get a few hot moments, though.
While Peyton rebuffs newly single Ravis advances, shes got the major yayas for Blaine.
Their morgue flirting was as sparkly as it was depraved.
Speaking of yayas, Babineaux and Bozzio are creating their own joint task force in her bedroom.
Everyones pairing and unpairing like theyre running the stairs in a British farce.
Perhaps the real action has to exist between every duo besides Major and Liv becausetheycant have any real action.
(Horizontal action that is.)
Last weeks twist ending is still unresolved Seriously, whatisMajor doing with his zombie igloo?
and now we get a brand-new mystery.
Someone is staking out the FBI agents house and leaves an envelope on her doorstep.
iZombiehas mastered the art of misdirection, and surely this trick will wow and amaze.
