Seems unlikely. He’s obviously been a bad guy all along, and he was way too good at his shtick.
That said, there’s a limit to how many rich people you can turn into zombies and blackmail before one of them comes up with an alternate way to get brains and offs you.
Definitely enjoying this show. The new-skills-every-week aspect adds a really interesting twist even past the supernatural aspect. The scene with the sketch artist was hilarious.
If she were sufficiently clever, Liv would freeze and label samples of every brain, giving her a menu of potential skills to choose from in the future if needed.
The CW has faith in its shows, and have a great track record in supporting its genre content. They’ll keep it going even if the ratings waver for a while.
Also, iZombie’s ratings are ok for a CW show (it’s not “Flash” level, but then, nothing else is on CW) - it’ll likely be renewed.
I really enjoyed the last episode - the temptation of not feeling was very well done. Also we got to see that zombies can get too far gone. I have a feeling we will revisit that. Also is Big Baddy creating a zombie army (or food)?
I half expected the decayed zombie girl to regain her personality and feelings and mental capacity, but to still be rotted beyond all hope. Ugh, that scares me to even think of.
I wonder why she remained brain-dead zombie. Maybe her brain had deteriorated too far?
Once past a certain point, it is irredeemable. Since we don’t know why Liv got zombied and resurrected to sort-of life while no one else from the crash got up out of their body bags, it’s hard to say.
She’d been zombied for 6 months - maybe it takes a LOT of brains to revert. Otherwise, every time a zombie ate a victim, they would potentially get reverted, right? So maybe they needed a much longer test, pumping brains at her until she got full or something.
Eating brains would have brought her to sense, but her body was atrophied and rotted - what then? Does it heal in the process?
Eating brains restores her to perfect zombie health. Why, then, does it not restore completely?
I get why this storyline had her, of necessity, killing the zombie girl. I think the guy was right that they needed to run the test for a lot longer. He was a real dumbass to balance precariously on the edge like that, but oh well.

I agree he’s been a bad guy drug dealer. I’m just thinking he got the idea of dealing zombieness from her. Though he did a great job talking that older lady in.
Apparently he’s not stuck on rich folks. Now he’s getting homeless teenagers and such. So who knows what he’s up to. Also, offing you is a lot trickier when you’re undead. He’s got strength and speed over regular henchmen, and the undead rich are gonna be a bit mentally unprepared compared to his own ruthlessness. Of course, that’s not an impossibility, just a stat in his favor.
I absolutely hate zombies, and I could without all the shots of brains, but I really enjoyed it. The Veronica Mars is strong, which really helps. I like both the detective and the ME a lot. Fiancé is boring so far.
I love that they have thought about getting brains and how hard that is if you are not, conveniently, a morgue worker. I half-hate Sark(as I call him) and half-empathize with his situation.
They seem to be following the same formula vampire shows have always used, adapted for zombies. The good guys find a niche within the system, the bad guys prey on the unfortunate.
Loved last night’s episode. I spent half of the episode staring at the Lowell character, knowing I had seen him before. It took hearing him finally speak to realize that he was Prince/King Arthur in the British series, “Merlin”. But ten years older and with his natural blond hair dyed black. I actually liked his acting better in this episode than I did in Merlin. He’s very good at playing “cocky”.
And, embarrassingly, last night’s episode was where I finally got the joke with Liv’s name: “Liv(e) Moore” … Lowell hearing her name and asking her, “Do you?”
There’s a limit to how many more people can be revealed to be Zombies before it ceases to be plausible that they remain a secret. Initially it was just her. Then her and Blaine. Now it’s her and Blaine, and a bunch of people being blackmailed by Blaine, and some number of thugs working for him, and the new love interest, and the cop. Too many zombies!
