Liv and Ravi examine the death of a Chinese gang member who has suspicious ties to Clive.

Major begins searching for a new roommate and ends up settling with Ravi.

Blaine has to deal with traitorous henchmen who pose a challenge to his brain business monopoly.


  • All Asians Know Martial Arts: The Chinese-American gangster whose brains Liv eats lends her this ability temporarily. And the Chinese-American gangster she fights also knows Kung Fu.
  • Boom, Headshot!: How Blaine deals with the two muscleheads going behind his back on trying to start their own brain business.
  • Dirty Cop: Liv fears Clive is this in the visions. But as it turns out, he's not. Her visions were of him going undercover and being violent to blend in.
  • Expository Hairstyle Change: Clive had a mustache when he was undercover.
  • Incredibly Conspicuous Drag: When Liv walks into Vice, there's a bearded man in a dress.
  • Odd Friendship: Ravi approaches Major by being his new roommate because of Liv. Turns out that they become good videogame buddies.
  • The Paranoiac: Sammy Wong, the Victim of the Week, was of an anxious and paranoid disposition, a trait that Liv inherits after eating his brain.
  • Race Fetish: Liv claims to be into Asian guys at the video store.
  • Sexy Shirt Switch: When Liv visits Major in his house, she also happens to meet his girlfriend Corinne, who's only wearing his shirt, making the situation very awkward for everyone.
  • Shirtless Scene: Major is only in a Modesty Towel when Liv comes to visit him, and she obviously starts Eating the Eye Candy.
  • Shout-Out:
    • The title is an allusion to the famous quote "Live and Let Live". Due to subject matter and rhyme, it could also be construed as an allusion to the James Bond movie Live and Let Die (which is itself alluding to the original phrase).
    • "He was just this junkie who’s always yelling at us ‘are we having fun yet?’.
    • Ravi describes Liv's life as the whorey version of Memento.
    • Liv quotes the classic "I know kung fu" line from The Matrix when she kip-ups on the street after walking into a shopping cart, and after a vision. A table also acts as Scenery Censor for Blaine's buttocks.
  • Talking in Bed: Jackie and Blaine's first scene is them waking up in bed under a Modesty Bedsheet, and soon getting into a conversation over Jackie's recent zombification.
  • Toplessness from the Back: Jackie and Blaine are both seen naked from the back as they get a makeover from his team to make them look more alive.
  • Unusual Euphemism: "Take a working lunch" for "eat the brains of a murdered corpse."
