Chapter 43-3: The Darkness Ahead

[Jannit]

Just to echo a few things that have already been said...

First off, great episode! I really, really liked this one. So many things seem to be clicking into place and we're getting set up for some very interesting times ahead. Loved it!

Secondly, Grognaurd and UndeadSweeper have already discussed the lurking behemoth at Cain and I really like Grognaurd's idea of the big one being Lizzy's father. If it's as Datu says and the human side of you is still aware while the zombie side is in control, having Lizzy's bulked out behemoth of a dad around during childbirth could be the best possible scenario if he becomes their own personal watchdog. That'd really be the only way to counter all that noise from the generator, wouldn't it? Plus, if he has been lurking around Cain long enough, it's possible that he has driven other Zed's out of the area.

I do like the idea of Scratch showing up post-delivery and stealing away the baby. With her oddly maternal fixation on Lizzy (the fixation is likely on the baby and Lizzy benefited just by being the delivery mechanism) it would make sense for her to come if she heard the broadcast about Cain. Not that I want Saul and Lizzy to lose their baby but it does make for an interesting twist from a story telling perspective.
