In Springfield, Illinois, our intrepid team of heroes is battling a group of Z's while Murphy and Cassandra do their best to keep the peace with their magical zombie empathy powers.
193407
They must protect Lucy the Zombie Baby. See, if things don't work out with getting a cure from Murphy, Lucy is the back-up plan.
193408
The bus full of zombie Abe Lincolns was pretty great. Springfield, Illinois. Land of Lincoln.
193409
You guys. The zombie baby is sort of gross, right? But also sort of cute. Her name is Lucy, she survives mostly on sugar water, and seems to attract zombies. And this worries Roberta and the rest of the team. What exactly is up with this little lady?
193410
As 10K continues to worry about Cassandra, he's also starting to worry about what Vasquez is up to. And … what is Vasquez up to? Always sneaking off by himself with a walkie-talkie. It's definitely sketchy.
193411
Roberta follows Vasquez to see what he is up to.
193412
Addy, Doc and 10K try to give Lucy a once-over in an attempt to figure out just what exactly's going on with her. An increasingly paranoid Murphy tells them he doesn't trust them and flees into the woods, leaving Cassandra to make sure he isn't followed.
193413
Meanwhile, Vasquez's double-agenting with the Zeroes cartel isn't going as planned. When he sneaks off to rendezvous with them, he's taken prisoner and has to be saved by Roberta. And now, after a brief gunfight, they're being pursued by the zombified cartel members.
193414
Looking for a place to patch up their wounds, Roberta and Vasquez head to a local hospital. They have to find sutures and antibacterial things, but first they have to kill every Z they see without ammunition.
193415
Meanwhile, 10K, Addy and Doc decide to confuse Cassandra by running in three different directions, the hope being that she'll chase one of them as the other two go look for Murphy.
193416
Roberta and Vasquez take turns sewing up each other's wounds and compete about who can take more pain. It's hot.
193417
Cassandra makes a tactical decision to go after Addy, which leaves 10K and Doc with the conundrum of having to save her. Zombie Cassandra turns out to be a pretty sharp cookie. So, new plan: let's try to reason with her. Heh ... yeah.
193418
When 10K tries to have a heart-to-heart with Cassandra, it goes pretty poorly. Doc and Addy manage to flee in pursuit of Murphy, leaving this former budding power couple to duke it out.
193419
As Roberta continues to patch him up, Vasquez reveals he was a DEA agent forced to work for the Zeroes cartel. They'd kidnapped his wife and child and forced him to work for them in exchange for quick n' painless mercy. And … by the way, Vasquez might have just died from his wounds.
193420
Murphy stumbles across a house in the woods where he asks a heavily armed couple to take Lucy and raise her as their own. Everyone's sort of on board with this plan until the would-be foster parents get a good look at the little monster.
193421
Just as Roberta is about to give mercy to a seemingly dead Vasquez, he sits up on the table, very much alive! Oh, thank goodness - it would've been hard to stomach the death of a character with such a compelling backstory.
193422
Meanwhile, 10K is forced to kill Cassandra in order to save himself. Another core team member bites the dust.
193423
When Murphy tells 10K he had no right to give mercy to Cassandra, things get tense. And that's when Roberta asks where the baby is ...
193424
Turns out Murphy bit that nice couple right in the face ... and left Lucy behind to be raised by whatever kind of Cassandra-like almost-zombies they'll turn into shortly.
