Blaine arrives, and he confronts Liv about not showing up for a brain exchange. Liv tells him that she's done working with him and that she'll never be able to trust him.
At their home, Liv's roommate, Peyton, asks Liv to help her practice for her cross examination as she's prosecuting a homeless man accused of murdering a wealthy tech company executive named Wally Walker. Suddenly, Liv gets a vision, and it turns out that Marvin killed Wally.
Liv heads to the police department and she fills him in on how Wally died. She learns that another man is being accused of the murder, and when Clive laughs at her, Liv asks him if he'd rather send an innocent man to jail than "rock the boat."
It's revealed that the brain that Liv ate doesn't make her feel or react to anything. When Peyton shows her a video of Major kissing another woman, she doesn't feel anything at all, and that disturbs her.
At the lake where the zombie was seen, Liv and Ravi look down a pit and see Marcy, Liv's co-worker that invited Liv to the party. Marcy is entirely far gone, and Ravi thinks that he can fix her by feeding her brains.
Liv meets up with Clive again, and they investigate Marvin's basement. Clive finds the gun that killed Wally in Marvin's things. They also look for the car that hit Marvin, and they find out that it was sold to Wally's business partner, Don.
Clive thinks that Don hired Marvin to kill Wally, then as a precaution, Don killed Marvin in the hit and run. They go to Marvin's last location, and an ice cream truck causes Liv to have a vision of a meeting between Don and Marvin.
Later, Liv and Ravi check on Marcy— she's not getting better. Liv suggests killing her, and while Ravi is trying to sedate Marcy he falls into the pit. Liv watches for a bit as she's unaffected by this, but soon she jumps into the pit to rescue Ravi. She goes full zombie and kills Marcy.
Clive and Liv meet with Don, and Peyton arrives to offer Don a plea deal. Don signs the confession.
Later, Liv thinks about eating more of Marvin's brain so she won't feel anything, but she changes her mind and throws it away.
"iZombie" airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on The CW.
