Spoiler Alert! And y'all thought that Major would be the first one to discover Liv's secret! Good job, iZombie! In "Dead Rat, Live Rat, Brown Rat, White Rat," someone outside of Ravi and Blaine knows who Liv really is and that person is...Peyton Charles, her roommate. The episode does an amazing job building up for the emotional reveal and its immediate aftermath. Even though Peyton, since she is a recurring character, did not have much to do this season, she was a major part of this episode. She is a genuinely kind person who wants her friend Liv to be okay and is worn down from Liv's ever-changing personalities and mood swings (brains, duh!). We learned more about their friendship as Liz took on stoner and cheerleader brains. That said, this particular episode was more scary than funny. I loved the I Know What You Did Last Summer references. In this episode, Liz has to deal with Sebastian and his band as Sebastian decides to pick them off one-by-one. Liz tries to come to the rescue. Major's Meat Cute storyline is now nearing its conclusion. Ravi is happy that Major is home, but Major is deep in his personal stakeout operation when he realizes Blaine's store is the brain supplier. Julien is able to recognize him and captures him for Blaine to deal with. Blaine also realizes than Evan is Liz's brother, so maybe he might have a "job" for him after all. This episode is the perfect setup for the season's conclusion. Major is in some iffy dire straits, Liz may have lost her best friend, and that freaky 911 call to end the episode. The fight scene in Liz's apartment which led to the ultimate reveal is brutal and visceral, even more than you would expect. Even though the episode is more horror-centered, there are some light moments. Clive got to unexpectedly taste some brains (and thinks they taste like mushrooms). Oh, and poor Hope. Ravi's test rat died but at least they are on the right track for a cure. Excellent episode! My Grade: A
