Grey Matters
A bloody Blaine pulls a gun on Jeremy Chu, one of his former customers, and asks—politely, natch—for Jeremy to show him where he’s getting his brains. Jeremy points the way to the Scratching Post, where Don E. clues Angus into the fact that Fillmore-Graves is all zombie, clueless—see what I did there?—that Blaine lives. (You can practically see the the dollar signs in Angus’ eyes.) Blaine calls, revealing to Don E. that he’s not so dead, and Angus tells Don. E to go make sure that the job’s done. When Angus’ goons unpack a large box that supposedly contains brains, however, Blaine says “surprise” and shoots them in the head before confronting his father. And then drops him into a well, mobster-style. Back at the bar, Blaine takes over Angus’ burgeoning empire.

At Fillmore-Graves, the Fillmore-Graves crew, plus Justin, Liv, Clive and Major, watch the video Harley Johns made of Justin going full Zombie. Vivian brushes the incident aside, but asks Major to stay behind … and reveals that she’s knows he’s human. Major rejoins Clive and Liv, and is in the process of telling them that Vivan knows, and wants to talk with Ravi about the cure, but her reign as Queen Zombie comes to an unexpected end when the helicopter she was leaving on explodes in the air above the compound. Vivian’s brother, Chase, returns to lead the company; his tendency to shoot first and forgive later indicates that he’ll be leading the company in a very different direction.
The brain of the week comes from an idiot daredevil, Finn “Vincible.” Finn arrives at the house of his high school girlfriend, attempting to make up a years-old slight, but his idiot stunt goes unsurprisingly wrong, and he burns to death in her driveway. (Really not making things better, Finn.) Ravi finds evidence that someone switched Finn’s fireproof suit with one that, well, wasn’t. Eating Finn’s brain turns Liv into a Jackass-style jackass, but it actually helps in solving Finn’s murder. (And leads to a hilarious, if ill-advised date with Justin.) Turns out: Finn slept with his friend/Stunted Growth crewmember Rudy’s girlfriend-turned-wife, and when she gave birth to a baby that definitely didn’t look like Rudy, Rudy realized that the “prank” in which the two slept together wasn’t a prank after all.
And, to investigate if Harley’s Zombie Truthers were involved in Vivian’s murder, and see what all they know in general, Ravi and Liv infiltrate a meet-up at the gun range. Liv can’t get past the blood pressure test, though, so Ravi’s forced to go in alone.
Brain Melt

Picking Your Brain
- Kandis asked this in last week’s recap, but Liv really did move on way too fast, right?
- Now that Blaine’s a zombie again, what does that mean for the blue juice recipe he stole?
- How long does Major have until Chase figures out what he really is? (And how good does Jason Dohring look?)
