Added DiffLines:

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: [[spoiler:Roanne survives Eddie's effort to kill her, but is infected with the parasites and so hasn't got long to live, so no matter what, she ''will'' pay for being the mastermind behind the whole thing.]]


Added DiffLines:

* TooDumbToLive: Roanne. [[spoiler:Because of her anti-government tendencies, she hides rather than let herself get sprayed with the cure for the parasites. Trouble is, she's already infected and beginning to experience the symptoms. If she'd trusted the government more, she would've survived.]]

* TheDeterminator: Eddie. [[spoiler:After realizing he's infected and that Roanne used him to start the whole thing, he wills himself to keep going long enough to kill her with his bare hands before he himself dies. Even being shot multiple times by Zachry's men isn't enough to put him down. He does ''eventually'' succumb to the infestation, but only after brutally killing one of Zachry's men and finally Zachry himself.]]
