* WhamEpisode: Liv encounters a third zombie during her investigation. Even Wham-ier, it's looking like Clive's boss might be one too, as he is seen pouring hot sauce in his coffee (large quantities of hot sauce are needed for zombies to taste their food), and has been complaining about his "new diet" and all the food he can no longer eat (or perhaps taste properly).
