But such tragic love always comes at a cost, right?
We all knew it was too good to last.
And when theiZombiewriters had Liv embody a jealous stalker, well, the writing was on the fake scrapbook.

But as finite as the breakup is, we were left with a lot of loose ends.
Any hopes of redemption were quashed by the tragic metaphor of the rat becoming a zombie once again.
This, of course, opens up the narrative field.
Heartbreak City, population audience.
Even though we hope for happiness and zombie cures, were destroyed every single time.
And in the midseason premiere, we arent disappointed.
The trope a set on a set!
is nothing new, but theiZombieteam knows how to freshen it up.
A Marlon Brandouchebag going full method on a teen drama?
(Why film in Seattle if it takes place in Portland?
Note:iZombie, based in Seattle, shoots in Vancouver.)
Bowing down to the majesty that is the Craft Services table?
Fandom shipping (Id ship those two if he werent dead, says Ravi)?
Some of our customers are getting restless, they miss Natalie, says Blaines chief elf.
Im working on it, replies Blaine.
Theres not just going to be a new zombie hooker under the tree.
And there it is.
Its so easy to fall for Blaines charm which reminds me, wheres Peyton?
(Just kidding, its a fitness tracker.
Just kidding part 2: Its embedded with a secret mic, so its really just spy jewelry.)
Theres a lot of reconciliation in this episode.
Clive, it seems, cant live without, well, Liv.
So they become partners once again.
My motivation, to team back up with you.
Its what I live for, she says as she leaves the precinct.
It could be a throwaway line, but this sentiment is more loaded than that.
Seems like this quality is setting us up for quite the Achilles heel scenario.
What do you think?
Killer cuts:
Silver lining: You two get to have hot zombie sex.
Room temperature zombie sex?
Ravi
Blaine: How long do I have?
If its less than a few weeks, I have to add brains to my X-mas wish list.
Ravi: Hard to say.
Liv: Were starting a pool.
Blaine: Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
Swing by when youre done and you’ve got the option to canvas this.
And by canvas I mean have sex with.
Dale
Liv: Last night I was watchingZombie High.
Now Im IN it.
Is there a word that means both coolandawful?
Propmaster: Did you find the prop gun yet?
Clive: Not yet.
Propmaster: Bet it will be me who gets fired and not Numbnuts.
Liv: I love the cute little names the crew have for the actors.
Liv: Well, there it is, some of the most famous junk in America.
Clive: Cover it.
Who gets pierced there?
Ravi: Its called a Prince Albert.
How do they get it through airport security?
Its like a bad acting workshop!
This is what you get when a TV show worships at the altar of youth.
Bimbos and Himbos running around screaming.
Ravi
The almond milk seems off.
Just get me a kale ginger juice.
Diana, the showrunner (Oh how people in LA love to mock people who live in LA.)
Zombie 1: Without us, theres no Zombie High.
Its just… High.
Zombie 2: You know what would be fun?
A zombie show where a zombies the star.
Clive: Thats dumb.
