I'm leaning towards the new concoction idea. If he simply wanted more Inklings then he could just turn the present ones loose. Perhaps that's what he did when Number 9 attacked Roman at the elementary school, and again when he unleashed the Inklings on the Colony in 'Scorched Earth."

However, if he is trying an entirely new thing, it wouldn't be too surprising based on what he has done so far. In no particular order... the behemoths were Trial #1, but they may have been uncontrollable. Trial #2 could have been more manageable behemoths ,like the ones seen at the arena, and the ones that attacked the Colony. Trial #3 could have been the other special types; runners, jumpers and the Thrillers (i.e. the dancing zombies from the un released musical episode). Trial #4 could be the Inklings; strong, loyal, and under Ink's control.

The reasons that I wonder if the zombies were carrying pregnant women to the hospital, when their 'army' converged there trapping Burt, Riley, Angel and Kalani, are that:

  1. If Ink was going to start again then he would need babies. If he was going to scour around for pregnant women then his chance of finding many are slim to none, considering the zombies are trying to eat everyone.
  2. If there were any pregnant women amongst the live people being carried to the hospital, then they may have a due date similar to Lizzy's, e.g. they could have been impregnated around the same time, circa late June to early July (The time of Purgatory)
  3. Ink's first step with creating Inklings probably involved women already pregnant. These babies were obviously born shortly after the start of the outbreak. A new step could involve turning babies at or prior to conception.

Of course, (Hold onto your Tinfoil Hats) If none of the above pans out and Ink just needs a baby, then Lizzy's would be prime target. He could have seen that she was pregnant during his attack on the Colony, OR he's in cahoots with Scratch and she told him. (I really don't know why I keep thinking of an Ink-Scratch connection. Perhaps it's my way of accepting why the most annoying character could have a purpose on this show. #MorePegsLessScratch )
