4. Blaine is back to his usual self

If you thought Blaine and Don-E were going to willingly work with Major and the rest of Filmore Graves, you’ll be sadly mistaken. Of course, he was going to be up to his usual self again.

However, it’s not what you would think. Thought he was stealing brains or taking advantage of Major? Well, not quite. He’s just up to his usual thug self.

To get brains through the checkpoint, Blaine pays off a group of people. However, he finds out that 12,000 fewer brains made it through from one week to the next. That means his people haven’t been letting them through.

He decides to round them all up. The attack of zombies on humans has made the border control officials rethink their agreement with Blaine. And they’re not afraid to face their wrath. Well, they seem to say they’re not afraid but will that change?

3. Dale is now pregnant

Not sure if the cure worked? Well, iZombie Season 5 premiere wasted not time in confirming it did. Dale is still the captain at the station and she’s also pregnant. Yes, pregnant!

Looking at the size of the bump, I’d say she’s around four or five months. Since the episode made it clear that the events are six months after the Season 4 finale, that means Dale got pregnant very quickly after her wedding.

I adore that! It means the cure is a real cure. It reverses everything. At least, it seems to suggest that. I really hope Rob Thomas isn’t going to give us an unhappy ending here!

Speaking of cure though…
