I think this comment "What do you think happened? Some got in, the others froze up." was refer to the the regular ones around Boulder not from LA. Datu is unaware that this is an ADLO.

I understand that Datu does not know what an Inkling is. Hmm.. maybe I am just hearing/interpreting different then you?
I dunno what it was about this episode, but I felt like a lot of material, sequences, sound effects were reused from previous episodes. Like the dude dying who didn't let them into their house reminded me of the Zombies killing the guy in Chapter 1 in the car honking behind Michael and in front of Saul. I guess in a podcast of this magnitude there is bound to be some reuse but this episode in particular really felt too familiar for my tastes. That's my only critique and I rarely have them.
Doesn't sound like Datu and Hope are getting along all that well and I must say Kimmet irritates the hell out of me. He seems like a very stereotypical commander like character who values survival over humanity, much like Michael used to. I hope he goes away soon and somehow Michael takes over and avoids making the same mistakes he originally made with the Tower crew.
Also, a clarifying question: Did Datu kill one of those new and improved super zombies with the pickaxe? I guess that's lucky for him more than anything.
Only assumption, based on two minor details and one major and quite solid speculation:
Minor 1: Datu killed something with a skin, which even Datu recognize as being not normal for a zombie;
Minor 2: Before Datu and hope reached their shelter, zombies were close by that made the same noises like Little Ones;
Speculation: Griggs was turned into a Little One and started this whole Boulder-rampage; this actually is supported by the video created by Robbins which showed soldiers (and civilians?) within Boulder being overrun by unstoppable zombies; considering the little fact that the soldiers and men at arms were able of establishing Boulder as a safe zone and defending it for more then half a year, it would be quite odd if they were/ are overrun by Regulars ...
So: Hulk Datu the Ressourceful Insta-Death-O-Pickaxed a Little One ...
All the best!

There should be no regulars at Boulder. They froze to death.
The sound at 7:56 sounded a lot if not exactly like the ones around the chopper in 25-3.
I believe that holding Boulder is no longer an option. At least for right now. The new order is to evacuate. I can imagine there is a good, not great, amount of choppers and jet fuel. Pegs will take her place here. When whatever populace flees far enough.. BOOM.
Where to take these refugees? Michael may mention the colony (not too far from the Naval Center).
Meanwhile Saul and co. slip out with sat phone, Lizzy, and Burt.... Maybe not Burt.
I just had a thought. What if we're thinking the big thing is ADLO/Inklings nuking Irwin, but instead, Michael and the Rescue Co. get to Boulder and save mostly everyone/they somehow manage to clean up the city more or less. Then, they radio back to Irwin, and then...
"Hello again, Michael. Your friends have been making problems for me... And a little birdie happened to say something about a failsafe... Something big and explosive. Doesn't that sound fun?"
And Scratch has taken over Irwin somehow and gotten the code from Kimmet/has Kimmet captive and wants to trade Pegs for the privilege of everyone else in Boulder not getting blown to kingdom come.
What do you all think?
You guys are missing what is right in front of you "It only takes one" KC is more clever than having the title refer to the fact one Zombie shows up in Bolder. I think we start to learn about the cure in part three of this chapter...
