Is Lizzy pregnant or infected?

Especially from just having sex. Granted, if Saul is a carrier she could be infected, but becoming a half-breed makes no sense. It's an either-or situation.

Well, unless the virus has mutated in Saul, but even in such a case I'd call Lizzy a zombie, just a new type, not a half-breed.

Thank you Nikvoodoo, i don't really remeber that, but i'll re-listen to the episode again asap

I don't recall exactly when, but listen around the time the little one dropped in for a visit.

My opinion is that she is neither infected nor pregnant. One possibility could be that Saul built a natural immunity to the infection. It is kind of like when you get a vaccination shot. When you get a vaccination shot you get injected with a dormant/weakend form of the virus that you are trying to prevent. Then the body's white blood cells are strong enough to defend against it because of the weakend state of the virus, thus building a natural immunity. This is what could of happend to Saul. If the bullet did in fact go through the zombie into saul, the amount of blood transfer could of been so miniscule that his body, being in a extremely healthy state, could of developed the anti-bodies in order to defend against it. If this theory is true, then that doesn't make Saul immune from being able to become zombified. Because the virus can mutate, then his anti-bodies that he developed are no longer as useful to defend against the parasitic infection. Now that being said Saul could be a carrier of the vaccine. Lets say that Saul is "infected" then when he transfers bodily fluids(i.e. kiss) then he could of passed the weakend virus to Lizzy. Which, in that case, then Lizzy might be feeling the side effets of the natural process of the development of the anti-bodies.

@nikvoodoo I listend to that episode and yes it was around the time the little one showed up, to be precise, it was after Bricks ripped its arm off and was driving away. Lizzy threw up in the back seat and Tar said to forget about the arm and to forget about her (Lizzy) to Bricks

my theories on Lizzy being sick, are neither preggers or infected, she was either:

i) in shock, she had been recently zapped by a tazer, kidnapped then nearly raped

or

ii) kalani mentioned something in chaptor 11 p2 about the 'other tower' occupants getting nauseous in a particular part of town (ground zero), near to where the first unique creatures where encountered. Kalani was also ill for a while (but that may have been a show to avoid being picked for enterainment in the arena)

Anyone else notice that Saul was coughing and didn't look to good just before they reached the Helli? could be the lack of meds.. or perhaps something Lizzy and him share.

Snap, I was thinking about this possibility all afternoon, but wasn't sure how far the furniture store was from ground zero. Anyone have any idea?

Well he was shot before hand and might be fighting off something as a result of the wound. Or he and Lizzy bumped uglies when no one was looking?

In my opinion she is pregnant. In one of the last episodes it was mentioned that it has been three months since the outbreak. More than enough time for her and Saul to become close and for them to go to that next level. And thats if the took it slow with the whole who knows if we will be here tomorrow kinda mood that could rise up in an apocolyptic scenario such as this. Plus it can lead to Scratch using her as a barter for Pegs, and her being pregnant would up the ante
