Liv auditions for Watch What Happens Undead and welcome back, Peyton!
(While were at it, can we toss him a B-plot?
Or even a C-plot.

Poor guy is less compelling than the corpses in the morgue.)
And just when you think it cant get more depressing for Liv, it does.
Nobody remembers her birthday.
And just in the knick of time.
The heart-tugging moment Liv looked forlornly at a dress and said, That belongs to someone.
That and the look on Livs face were enough of a Welcome Back, Peyton banner for me.
So, where does Major fall in all of this?
He spends hours improving his body, because he has no control over anything else.
He hooks up with Gilda just to feel something because hes numb.
(No complaints from me if thats what it takes to get a peek of those abs.)
Much like Utopium Is it an upper?
Major cant seem to make up his mind about the side effects of his human-zombie-human flip.
And hes only spiraling deeper as Max Rager blackmails him into plowing through his Murder Must List.
NEXT: Just when you thought Max Rager couldnt get creepier…
Guessing the zombified doctor that Vaughn keeps in his secret dungeon might have something to do with it.
Theres also very little room for silly, myth-building,How-I-Met-Your-Mother-lay-the-groundwork-for-the-long-con-joke fun.
Instead, 1013 episode seasons have made television like concentrated cold-brew coffee.
Instead it sets up some potential long term gags to play with and gives a little love to superfans.
For now, wecanfind joy in the plot twist guessing game, though.
Could Peyton actually be a zombie?
(Probably not, because Major didnt have his zombie reaction when either of them were in the room.
Then again, he was so stoned, who can tell?)
Will Ravi and Peyton get back together?
What exactlyisthis Max Rager secret formula that drives Vaughn to be so disgustingly devious?
And most importantly: Why isnt Blaine in every episode?
Killer Lines:
A thief posting as a realtor.
That seems like a lateral move.
Ravi
Gilda: Shouldnt you be working on something more than your pectoralis major, Major?
Major: You just missed my lower-body circuit.
Do you know I think of you every time I squat?
Ravi
Liv: Ive never had a lady who lunches for lunch.
Ravi: She looks as tasty as she was tasteful.
Vaughn: Theres a reason Im not getting hitched, detective.
Liv: Because you cant marry your own reflection?
