1	Liv, Clive and Ravi investigate the death of a security guard who was also a basketball coach.
2	----
3	* AbusiveParents: RJ's father slaps him across the face in practice, which the victim saw.
4	* BerserkButton: The normally cool, calm, and collected Clive beats the tar out of RJ's dad because he beat RJ.
5	* BodyHorror: A direct injection of the Utopium/Max Rager cocktail in a zombie not only kills them, but also rots their body.
6	* BullyingADragon: RJ's dad tries pushing around Clive (a police officer), and ''damn'' was that a bad idea.
7	-->'''RJ's Dad:''' You got some balls, man! Showing up at ''my'' house, telling me how to raise ''my'' kid? ''[pokes Clive's chest]'' So how about you get back in your car and- ''[receives [[Awesome/IZombie four brutal punches in the face]]]''
8	-->'''Clive:''' Don't ever put your hands on your son again.
9	* ContinuityNod:
10	** Clive calls Suzuki's widow to ask if he was suicidal when he [[Recap/IZombieS1E13BlainesWorld went to Meat Cute.]]
11	** Dale mentions that the cops found [[Recap/IZombieS1E11Astroburger Alan York]]'s hair in a meat grinder at Meat Cute.
12	* CurbStompBattle: A righteously pissed off Clive beats RJ's dad into a pulp.

17	* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: How Liv describes the team she and Major will be coaching.
18	* ShoutOut:
19	** The victim was shot directly in the heart, and Ravi can't help himself:
20	--->'''Ravi:''' [[Music/BonJovi Shot in the heart, who's to blame?]] ''[{{Beat}}]'' [[ToughRoom No Bon Jovi fans here, huh?]]
21	** When Liv asks Major, "You know what I keep asking myself?" Major replies "''Why?'' Why didn't the Seahawks just hand the ball to Marshawn?" This is a reference to the [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague NFL]] Super Bowl XLIX, played in 2015, when the Seattle Seahawks (where the show is set) made a questionable decision in the final moments of the game to try to pass the ball instead of handing it to the running back, Marshawn Lynch. This cost the Seahawks the game.
22	** One of the murderers is a big fan of the [[Series/VeronicaMars Hearst College]] basketball team.
23	* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Where Rita sticks the sample of blood she snags from Liv.
24	* WhamShot: Suzuki's widow gives Clive a container from Suzuki's beer fridge that contains a piece of brain.
