'iZombie' Spoilers, Plot News: Episode 2 Recap 'Brother Can You Spare a Brain?'
In this week's episode of "iZombie," Liv uses her unique skills to solve the murder of an artist, and Liv searches for Blaine, the person who turned her into a zombie.
The episode starts when a man and a woman enter an apartment, and later the man, Javier, is seen dead, having been stabbed through the eye with a paint brush.
Clive thinks that Javier's wife Lola may have killed Javier, but they don't have any proof. However, the paint brush has some brain matter sticking to it, so he takes it to Liv to eat—hopefully they'll have more evidence once she gets visions after eating Javier's brain.

At Liv's Major drops by with a box of her things, and after he leaves Liv and Peyton argue about Liv having broken up with him.
That night, Liv keeps dreaming about Blaine, the person who turned her into a zombie, so the next day she tries to find him on the Internet. Later, she has a flashback of Javier having an affair with someone.
Liv goes to the police station and tells Clive about what she saw, so he takes her to Lola. Lola says that the woman in Liv's vision is Tasha, one of Javier's many lovers. Lola says that they were in an open relationship. Clive doesn't believe that monogamy isn't important for the pair, and later he gets a text from forensics saying that the killer is much taller than Lola.
Later, Liv, having acquired a new skill from eating Javier's brain, proceeds to draw Blaine. She posts it online, and soon Blaine visits her at the morgue. He tells her that he gets brains from robbing graves. Ravi arrives and asks Blaine for a urine sample in order to find out how he got to be a zombie. Blaine says that he has no idea how it happened, and that he was on drugs when the zombie attack happened.
Blaine goes to a bar and picks up a woman. He sleeps with her and turns her into a zombie. Later, he initiates her into the zombie ring and says for $25,000 a month, he can get her all the brains that she needs.
Liv gets a new vision, and one of Javier's girlfriend's boyfriends is not too happy with the arrangement. Clive interrogates the man, who is Tasha's boyfriend, and says that Javier dumped Tasha for an 18-year old girl.
It turns out that the girl is the daughter of Javier's art dealer. And while all signs point to the dealer, Liv and Clive find out that though Lola was not averse to Javier sleeping with other girls, she couldn't bear that he got a girl pregnant, and of all people, the girl happens to be the daughter of their friend. So it was Lola all along who killed Javier.
"iZombie" airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on The CW.
