One thing about this episode is that it got me thinking all the way back to chapter 10 (Purgatory), where Datu was trapped with Samantha and Kalani at the arena.
In this episode we hear a lot about these ADLO's/Inklings and that they resemble Ink far more then normal zombies, and are clearly far more advanced then the normal ones running around. Its got me thinking that these new zombies are potentially a product of whatever ink was doing to captured survivors. Its suggested in chapter 10 by Sam that people were taken down there, "played around" with and then eaten, but neither she or Datu ever actually watched it happen.
What if zombies infected by Ink personally become these "Inklings" and only the uninfected can in turn, become new "inklings". That could explain why there isn't already a surplus of them running around LA. What with most of the cities inhabitants already having been infected by the "normals".
Basically what I'm saying is what if the special zombies aren't some kind of evolution of the species but originate from a single source that has so far been unable to hit larger numbers like the normals were. That could explain why there's only been around 6 Behemoths/Big ones seen, and why the "Jumpers" have basically died out. Because either their source infected either died off or has yet to be able to hit larger numbers of people.
