And how theyre constantly making viewers second guess their allegiances.
So we have three horrible jerks and one good guy who has no choice but to murder zombies.
Then we get Drake.

So were at five villains: two malefactors, one thug, one desperate good guy, and Blaine?
Well, lets just call him entrepreneurial.
Tonight, in a surprising twist involving Det.
), we find out that Drakes an undercover officer.
Its likeThe Hunger Gamesbut with villains: Who will survive and turn out to be good and/or truly evil?
The standard procedural setup of this episode is clever enough to take on the dichotomy.
Leslies conniving daughter plotted the whole murder and manipulated her lovesick boyfriend into taking the fall.
(I guess Cher wasnt so sunny after all.)
Must be all those adorable emoji texts.
Underneath the brooding and flexing and smoldering beats the heart of a man in love.
(Or it would be if zombies had hearts.
Tonight, the villain gets away for the first time ever in aniZombieepisode, and its damn unsatisfying.
Because we want to see the bad person punished.
But its never that black and white, and the writers want to check that you know that.
NEXT: Major + Gilda/Rita + Liv = bizarre love triangle?
First: A bizarre love triangle.
He probably didnt expect to run into his past fling.
Because at midnight, Im going to hunt down anything you own and burn it.
But it seems both Major and I have been underestimating Liv: Shes not a weepy damsel in distress.
That leaves us with Blaine, the shows most complex, compelling, and yes, golden-voiced character.
(Perhaps theres a longer directors cut of Blaine in boxers belting out the entire song?
like share, Mr.
The moral of the story?
Sometimes the bad guy gets away.
Im not entirely sure
Killer Cuts:
WHERES PEYTON?
Im going to keep asking this until she returns.
Its been two episodes and her absence is bordering on offensive.
Note to theiZombiewriters: If you bring back Peyton, you might have a plot worthy enough for Ravi.
Ravi:Your boss is Gandhi?
Darcy the Barista:No, the quote is Gandhi.
Ravi:I know that.
[Points to self] Of course I know that, Im British.
That manky old git cost us the crown jewel of our empire.
Darcy:Is that the new Ford?
The one for Millennials?
A special shout out toiZombies music supervisor who has been absolutely killing it this season.

Im makin cappuccinos, roll up like Al Pacino.
Pams rap/spoken word
I remember my first.
Like filling out a 1040A.
Mr. Boss
Clive:Its raining.
Liv:Thats liquid sunshine my friend.
Ravi:Or Gene Kelly.
Chinatownjokes never get old.
Blaine deserves all the neo-noir twists that theiZombiewriters can pile on him.
Ravi:Jonas Salk is his name.
Perhaps if he scored a touchback for the Huskers…
Major:A touchdown for the Huskies.
Drake:Thats a pretty good shot of me.
Feel free to hang it in your locker.
Lou Benedetto:And cover up my David Cassidy?
