As radiation clouds build and the team tries to find a way to California, things are starting to look a little bleak. At least it's nice to see them all back together again, especially since that NEVER lasts for very long.

You guys, new Cassandra is really a lot more aggressive and more in a bikini than old Cassandra. While she's still alive, technically, that awesome early-episode budding romance with 10K seems to be over because she's now half-zombie and that would be sort of gross. Is she gonna be okay?

Roberta uses 10K's scope to peer at a convoy of trucks and cars all painted white. It's like Mad Max meets the Donner Party. Actually, come to think of it, it's almost exactly like that.

We know that Murphy might be something of a zombie psychic; he can sense them and he can definitely control them provided they're your run-of-the-mill Z's. But now there's a new development. Hard to say what it is exactly, but it's ... unsettling.
188351
The Mad Max Donner Party convoy is run by Sam Custer (William Sadler, aka the Grim Reaper from Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey), who’s leading a group of sick people, badasses in face paint, and stoned simpletons through what's left of the United States. They're on their way to Edmonton, Canada, because it's freezing there and the zombies hate the cold. Also: maple syrup!
188356
So, let's talk about Z Weed. Kids, don't do drugs. Particularly when the weed is made via zombie corpse compost. Turns out Z Weed is developed in a lab in Minneapolis! And that piques Murphy's interest.
188361
When the wagon train rolls out, Murphy realizes that they've left Cassandra behind. He calls to her psychically as she discovers two dead bodies with their skulls hollowed out. Whoa.
188366
Murphy is required to ride in the medical wagon with the people dying of radiation poisoning. Or as Addy and Roberta call it, "a zombie bomb waiting to go off."
188371
Well, 10K needs a new love interest now that Cassandra has gone 'round the bend. Let's all get behind this girl! All hail, Athena!
188376
Well, here's a pro-Z Weed announcement: it seems to make Cassandra a little more coherent and zen. Sort of.
188381
When the convoy is attacked by a group of bounty hunters, Roberta and Vasquez discover that they actually make a pretty good team.
188386
Doc and his new stoner friend Wrecking Ball are attacked on the road while driving the car in which the convey stores ALL OF THEIR WATER. It doesn't go great. Doc and Wrecking Ball survive but are forced to bail out of the car. The one with all the water. Good-bye, water.
188391
Go, Athena! You're the … oh. Well, never mind. 10K's new love interest is already dead. Storylines move fast in the apocalypse, gang.
188396
Blasters. This is a new breed of zombie. These are the people killed in the nuclear radiation blast. They're smarter! They hunt in packs! They only eat brains! And some of them walk like crabs.
188401
It turns out that Murphy's ability to talk to zombies and control their minds doesn't work on Blasters. This is bad because how do you become the Zombie King (#Zing – make it happen, fans) when you can't rule ALL the zombies?
188406
Meanwhile, is Sam Custer losing his mind? Almost certainly yes. Roberta is worried about it, and with good reason. It turns out that radiation sickness makes people nuts.
188411
Team! They found the car full of water! And Cassandra killed everyone involved with the carjacking. Murphy, Cassandra and Wrecking Ball hightail it out of there in Custer's favorite set of wheels.
188416
Well, it was bound to happen: the medical truck turns on itself. Custer's son Zeke becomes a zombie and attacks the other passengers, who become zombies as well. There's a really horrifying symmetry to it, no?
188421
The team flees to the front of the caravan as the truck goes barreling through a barricade. Things get a little intense, honestly.
188426
Ultimately, Roberta runs over the meanest Blaster around ... but the onslaught continues. The team bails just in time for crazy old Sam Custer to be eaten by a zombie.
188431
Murphy, Cassandra and Wrecking Ball -- road buddies for parts unknown! Well, that's not true -- they're off in search of more Z Weed.
