Spoilers for tonight’s episode of iZombie, “Death of a Car Salesman” below!

In a flashback to the beginning of the show, Mr. Boss meets with Martin Roberts, who is working on Seattle’s Utopium production. A year later, he’s refining his recipe, and quickly turns into a zombie and kills his friend. In the present day, Martin meets with Liv and begins to reveal how he got clean, but Liv gets torn away by a call from work.

Liv and Clive arrive at the morgue, where Ravi is eating the brain of Rick, a local car salesman who appeared to be run off of a bridge. Clive also talks about a raffle ticket contest in the police department. Liv also eats Rick’s brain, and that causes her and Ravi to get competitive with each other.

Clive interviews Rick’s wife, and learns from Steve that his car might’ve been hacked.

Liv and Ravi continue to be competitive about the raffle. Martin arrives, and he and Liv go out to lunch, where she learns that he’s a zombie. She then accuses him of still using Utopium. Martin tries to argue that Liv will motivate him to get sober, but she doesn’t believe it.

Liv and Ravi return to work, where Liv and Clive interview the general manager of Rick’s store. He reveals that whoever sold the least amount of cars would be fired, which was usually a man named Stu, who also previously dated Rick’s wife. Liv gets triggered into a vision of Jack, a man who got fired from the company a year before.

Clive and Liv visit Jack. Ravi gets a vision of Rick’s car being vandalized, and Clive ultimately determines that Jack’s daughter, a computer science student, was the one who did it. Jack arrives and confesses that he was the one who hacked and crashed Rick’s car.

Martin meets with Liv, and promises to follow through with getting clean.

Clive tells Liv and Ravi that they both tied for the top prize in the raffle contest.

Martin watches the documentary about Liv, and gets a visit from Lambert.
