5	* BodyHorror: Marcy, one of the victims of the boat party massacre, has been a zombie for six months and has gone completely feral and rotted away, to the point she would be home on ''Series/TheWalkingDead''.
6	* ContinuityNod: Liv is shown to have retained the artistic skills she gained from [[Recap/IZombieS1E2BrotherCanYouSpareABrain eating Javier's brain]]. Also, the painting she whipped up to replace the other one in her apartment can be seen in the background.
7	* EmotionSuppression: Liv is removed from her emotions after eating Martin's brain.
8	* InstantExpert: After eating the hitman's brain, Liv suddenly becomes an expert on a number of subjects: She knows what the term "sociopath" means and when it was coined, and she knows a lot of random facts about lakes. Later on, she cleans up in a trivia contest.
9	* LackOfEmpathy: Liv, due to the brains of the sociopath. She almost lets Ravi die just because she can't think of a reason to care.
10	* MercyKill: After they find the heavily decayed Marcy, Ravi and Liv try to cure her. But by the time they find her, she's too far gone and they proceed to smash her head in with a pipe after she tries to kill Rav.

12	* ProphetEyes: Marcy has these.
13	* ARareSentence:
14	-->'''Ravi''': Should be a pretty safe brain to eat.\
15	'''Liv''': Said nobody. Ever.
16	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Liv's eyes become red when she goes into Full-On Zombie Mode.
17	* ShoutOut:
18	** The title is a shout-out to the movie Film/TheTerminator.
19	** "First rule of Brain Club, you don't talk about [[Film/FightClub Brain Club]]".
20	** The emcee for the trivia contest is in a [[Series/IDreamOfJeannie Jeannie]] costume.
21	** The title of Clive's and Liv's trivia team is "[[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain Piggy and the Brain]]".

23	** Clive describes Liv's insights as "[[Music/TheBeachBoys Good Vibrations]]".
24	** Ravi starts quoting ComicBook/SpiderMan but is cut short
25	-->'''Ravi''': With great power comes...\
26	'''Liv''': Do not! Seriously.
27	* TheSociopath: Liv realizes that the VictimOfTheWeek was one, when after eating his brain, she becomes very emotionally detached and flashes to him killing someone. Because of her medical training and/or the victim's obsession with factoids, she notes that [[ShownTheirWork sociopathy is no longer a medical diagnosis, as the DSM folded both it and psychopathy into the condition called "Anti-Social Personality Disorder"]]. By the end of the episode, she destroys the rest of the man's brains so she can have emotions again.
28	* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Full-On Zombie Mode.
29	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Liv says this word-for-word when she realizes her latest meal came from a sociopath:
30	-->'''Liv:''' This brain is gonna suck.
31	** She also acknowledges how much getting her emotions back is going to suck when the episode ends, as she's just gone through a couple of horrible experiences that being a sociopath shielded her from.
32	* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: In the opening panel of the episode.
33	* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Liv is freaked out she nearly let Ravi die under the influence of the sociopath brain. Ravi counters that ended up helping him ''despite'' the sociopath brain.
