Grumpy Old Liv is the first episode of the second season of iZombie. The show follows the life of Liv Moore, a medical resident who turned into a zombie after a boat party. Liv works in the Medical Examiner's office and also helps Detective Clive Babineaux solve crimes by eating the brains of the deceased and inheriting their memories and personalities.
In this episode, Liv is seen investigating the murder of a wealthy old man named Mr. Bennett. The victim's brain, which Liv consumes, turns out to be that of a grumpy old man who was despised by many. As a result, Liv starts experiencing mood swings and develops a classic case of 'old-man' syndrome, including developing a love for bingo and an obsession with retirement homes.
Along with her grumpy demeanor, Liv also inherits the victim's memories and discovers that Mr. Bennett's death was not an accidental overdose, as the police initially believed. Instead, it was revealed to be murder, and the suspect list includes Mr. Bennett's ungrateful son, his two ex-wives, and a scheming stepmother, all of whom had motives to kill him.
Liv, along with her friends Ravi and Peyton, starts investigating each suspect and slowly unravels the truth behind Mr. Bennett's death. The show then takes us through a roller coaster ride of thrilling twists and turns and ends with a dramatic reveal of the real killer.
Meanwhile, Major, Liv's ex-fiance, is shown to be struggling with his own problems as he tries to prove that zombies exist. His obsession leads him to make enemies with the wrong people, and he soon finds himself in deep trouble.
Overall, Grumpy Old Liv is an entertaining and engaging first episode of the second season. It skillfully blends humor and suspense to create an intriguing story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It also introduces new plotlines and characters that set the stage for an exciting season ahead.
