- The Hammonds are introduced in this episode: husband Joel (Timothy Olyphant), wife Sheila (Drew Barrymore) and daughter Abby( Liv Hewson). Joel and Sheila are realtors and while showing a house to prospective buyers, Sheila gets sick. With daughter Abby, Joel discovers Sheila has no pulse. Next door neighbor Eric (Skyler Gisando) diagnoses her problem as being 'dead but undead'. In other words a zombie possibly caused by a virus resulting from the destruction of the habitats of bats or monkeys. Sheila's 'zombie-ness' is proven when she eats co-worker Gary (Nathan Fillion) in her back yard. Actually she starts with his fingers and proceeds to the rest of Gary. Joel walks into the backyard, discovers what happened and Sheila looks up and says with her mouth fill of Gary's guts that she "really wants to make this work". This sets the backstory for the series: Sheila is a zombie - Joel, Abby and Eric know and decide to live with it.
