When I first heard Datu begin to say he can read the paper Micheal had, I thought that he was going to say that he understood the symbols, Dan Brown-style. But the dramatic music and his headache lead me to think he meant that there was a zombieglyph aspect. BUT, like Hoff4d says, KC has this story grounded in a naturalistic reality. So, Datu suddenly understanding an aggregate of ancient symbols that happen to spell out an address, seems a bit supernaturalish.

Not, it wouldn't make a very good story for there to be a hidden zombie language that Ink uses to communicate and protect himself, especially if our heroes can use it to their advantage. Yet, KC does it to us again, there are a number of ways this story could go:

Datu is Robert Langdon or Datu is all of a sudden wearing the One Ring.

We're about to learn about Datu's academic past or learn that Ink knew about the impending apocalypse and how to control zombies.

This episode did start with characters talking about what others did for a living pre-outbreak. This could foreshadow discussion of Datu's past.

Yet, it seems that Ink uses the symbols to communicate with the zombies.


KC, you leave me stumped every week.
