As for Randy the zombie being Randy from CJ's group, it's pretty well confirmed I believe by the fact the he was waiting for Glen and Pete outside of the safehouse that CJ had put them in. Being a member of CJ's group beforehand he would have known where the safehouses were, and it would have been simple elimination to find the one that was occupied and stake it out.
AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! So it wasn't likely to be a plot-driven coincidence. Good catch.

Now how long could have Randy and co. been at the water works? I'm guessing a time line could be as follows:

  1. The rain storm prior to Saul's et al trip to the fuel depot was the same one in which CJ's missing convoy was hit. (My guess based on Samantha's assertion that the convoy was attacked in the rain AND that there was a rainstorm prior to Saul, Lizzy and Burt (S/L/B) going to find diesel fuel, and KC emphasized that it was raining.)
  2. The same day, or the following day Sean sends Randy and the techies to the water pumping station.
  3. 3 days later, CJ's tower is attacked.
  4. So Randy may have been at the pumping station from the time Saul, Lizzy and Burt looks for fuel to the time AFTER they return, conduct the experiment and set off to track the tagged zombies.
  5. Day 1 - End of rain storm. S/L/B go to find fuel, Kalani arrives at Dunbar, Techies go to water works.
  6. Day 2 - Morning following Z attack on Saul in the hybrid.
  7. Day 3 - Morning following Saul's escape from the Mallers. Angel discovers that the bodies are gone.
  8. Day 4 - Lizzy implements the sweat experiment. Zombies tagged later that day. Latch and Scratch visit the Tower that night.
  9. Day 5 - Water pressure finally fails. Michael, Angel, Riley and Datu leave for the water works and to follow the trackers.



Was he really there for almost a week? Did he know his Tower was attacked? Was he working on the plumbing for that whole time? Did he have plumber's crack?
