‘iZombie’ recap episode 215: ‘He Blinded Me… With Science’

On Tuesday’s episode of iZombie, Liv and Clive dig deeper into the mystery of Max Rager in relation to a scientist’s murder.

Liv tells Ravi about Gilda seducing Major as Rita. Ravi can’t get much information about the newest murder victim from her corpse, so he gives her brain to Liv.

Clive asks how the victim died and Ravi says her face was set on fire. Clive says she was a scientist working for a pharmaceutical company and she was fired when she was sued by Annie, a woman whose face was disfigured after trying an acne cream. Clive takes Liv to talk to Annie.

Blaine rushes into Ravi’s lab asking for brains. He’s reverted to zombie form. He couldn’t make it all the way home without eating and Ravi’s morgue was closest. Ravi tells him that the cure eventually kills the zombies who use it. He’s working on a better batch.

Liv and Clive knock on Annie’s door. A kid runs by and shouts “freak” when the woman answers, but her face is fine. Annie says she got plastic surgery after receiving a small settlement from the drug company. She says Dr. Cash tried blaming her partner, Dr. Benway, at the trial. Annie says she was working a graveyard shift the night Cash was killed.

Vaughn has been drinking Super Max. Major reminds him that it can make him aggressive. Vaughn has an updated list of possible zombies for Major. Major asks him why he planted Rita as Liv’s roommate and had her seduce him. Vaughn didn’t know they slept together. Rita comes in wearing sunglasses to hide a black eye. Vaughn rages thinking Major did it, but Rita tells him it was Liv.

Blaine tells Don E and Chief that Mr. Boss tried to kill him. He wants to know why Drake didn’t tell him it was coming. He tells his assistants to bury the coffin full of Utopium and let Mr. Boss continue to think he’s dead.

Bozzio tells Clive that they found brains in the refrigerator at Blaine’s father’s cabin. She calls the FBI lab and the agent asks if they found more human brains. Clive realizes someone switched the results of the report.

When Drake gets to Liv’s apartment, she asks him to take her to the bar where he works. She’s made his trustworthiness into an equation that she wants to solve. Everyone in the bar likes him and they’ve heard about Liv. A woman approaches him and says she has to talk to him in private. Liv tells him to go.

The newest test rat has died. Ravi isn’t sure why. Liv uses her scientist brain to suggest a way of making the cure less caustic. Clive comes in and says that he found Dr. Benway, but he’s not working in science anymore.

Liv and Clive find Benway working as a singing pirate waiter. He’s not upset that Cash is dead, but he says he didn’t do it. He was home alone on the night of the murder. Benway’s boss shouts at him and Liv has a vision of Vaughn yelling at Cash for not meeting a deadline.

Vaughn claims he hasn’t heard of Cash. Clive shows him a picture and Vaughn identifies her as Dr. Irving. He says he demoted her for missed deadlines, but he didn’t kill her. He tells them to come back when they have a warrant.

Liv planted a phone under the seat of Drake’s car to track where he goes. He told her the girl from the bar was knocked up by a friend of his.

Major goes to the funeral home and asks Blaine for the name of a zombie to take out for Max Rager. Blaine suggests Drake. Major doesn’t realize Drake is Liv’s boyfriend.

Liv dresses in a wig and makeup and applies for the open scientist position at Max Rager. The scientists love her. She asks questions about Cash’s murder and discovers she was working in a secret basement. She excuses herself and gets in the elevator. Rita sees her. Liv tries to access the finger scan and enter the basement, but it sets off an alarm and delivers her to Vaughn’s office.

Liv says she just wanted to ask questions about Cash’s murder. Vaughn tells her every competing business has a secret basement and throws her out.

Clive knocks on Annie’s door again and finds the same kid there trying to videotape the “freak.” He tells Clive that he saw her last week and she looked “like Groot.” Clive makes a call to find out who owns the house.

Liv tells Clive they need to get a warrant to check out the basement at Max Rager. He takes Liv back to Annie’s house.

Annie is heading for work. She’s disfigured. Liv has a vision of a zombie at the Super Max lab. Clive asks if Annie talked her sister into killing Cash. The lighter fluid is from their home province in Canada and isn’t sold in the states. She doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Her sister, Jenny, says she killed Cash for taking away her and Annie’s dreams. She had to give up her life to become Annie’s nurse. Annie didn’t know.

Liv tells Ravi about her zombie vision. Ravi gives Blaine a vial of a potential cure, but tells him to only use it if he’s dying.

Liv sees that Drake is parked at an unlisted location downtown. She goes there and sees him giving a ride to Mr. Boss.

Liv tells Ravi that she wants to question Drake. He tells her to do it in a public place.

Blaine gives his assistants paperwork to continue the brain business if he dies. He tells them to stay out of the Utopium business.

Vaughn shocks the zombie in the basement and it gets loose. Vaughn runs to the elevator and closes the door before Rita can get in. He locks himself in his office and does a shot. Rita appears and bangs on his door. She’s been bitten.

Liv waits for Drake at the pirate restaurant. Major finds Drake and injects him. Liv thinks he stood her up.

Blaine injects himself with the new cure.
