Spoiler Alert!
Good job, Patriot Brains. Way to break our hearts! It had to happen to give Liv personal stakes, but it was sad regardless. What am I talking about? The fatal ending where Blaine killed Lowell after he attempted to kill him when Liv bailed. Bradley James, as a guest star, created such a fond memory for this show. He made a believable love interest for Liv's character. As we near the season's conclusion, the show is picking things up as questions are getting closer to being answered. This episode also makes you aware that Blaine is a music snob or must have been in his past life. But hey, he gets points for being a Nirvana fan.
In this episode, Liv confronts Lowell about buying brains from Blaine. Lowell maintains his innocence and claims he did not know what Blaine was up to. Together, they formulate a plan to kill Blaine. The case of the week is interesting enough. It involves Liz eating a sniper brain which gives her courage, which also plays an important role in the episode's storyline. Major comes closer to finding out who Candyman really is. All signs point to Julien, Blaine's henchman and bodybuilding. Julien figures things out and gives Major a late-night house call but disappears after getting shot from Major. Major calls Clive, who worries that he may be suffering a mental breakdown. Finally, the cure search from Ravi proves frustrating as he got bit by one of the zombie rats, but fortunately nothing much may come from that.
Overall, this is definitely a good episode with a solid case of the week. However, the ending is what defines this episode. It needed to happen to really pull Liv into the game and stop Blaine before its too late. With the sequences of events, I wonder if and when both Major and Clive will learn of Liv's secret. After all, it is a small world.
My Grade: A
