[edit] Plot Overview

[edit] Notes

[edit] Monster of the Week

• Zombies: The Wolfram & Hart lawyers turn into zombies after being killed. There is no major difference between the zombies of this episode and popular zombie myths. They're slow moving and crave human flesh. The only way to kill a zombie is to stop brain activity by destroying the brain itself or cutting off the head. The one difference in this situation is that a person cannot be turned into a zombie by being bit by one, they can only turn after dying.
