Ep 19. Salivation Army

In iZombie season 2 episode 19, titled "Salivation Army," things take a turn for the worse as a dangerous group called the "Salivation Army" begins to terrorize the city of Seattle. Liv Moore, the show's main character and a zombie herself, finds that she has a target on her back when the group starts targeting zombies specifically.

The episode opens with Liv attending a vigil for Dr. Eleanor Cash, the CDC scientist who had been working on finding a cure for the zombie virus. She and her friends Clive and Ravi are all grieving the loss of their friend, but it's clear that Liv is taking things particularly hard. As they leave the vigil, a group of humans from the Salivation Army arrive and start harassing the zombies who are attending the vigil. Liv is clearly shaken by what's happening and starts to worry that things are going to get worse.

Her fears are confirmed when the Salivation Army begins a series of attacks on zombies throughout the city. They hit a diner that's popular with zombies, as well as a shelter where many of them are staying. Liv's ex-boyfriend, Major, who is also a zombie, is targeted and barely manages to escape with his life.

The police, including Liv's friend Clive, are scrambling to figure out who the Salivation Army is and how to stop them. It's a difficult task because the group is anonymous and operates almost like a cult. Through their investigations, they discover that the group is led by a man named Harley Johns, who is a conspiracy theorist that's been railing against zombies for years. They also discover that he's been stockpiling guns and ammunition with the intention of using them against zombies.

Liv, for her part, is struggling with the fact that she's torn between her loyalty to her zombie brethren and her desire to help humans. She knows that the Salivation Army is doing terrible things, but she also knows that there are many humans who are afraid of zombies and who would support what the group is doing. As she grapples with her feelings, Liv decides to investigate the Salivation Army herself.

With the help of Ravi, Liv manages to infiltrate the Salivation Army and attend one of their meetings. She's horrified by what she sees there - it's clear that the group is planning to attack the shelter where the city's zombies are staying. Liv knows that she has to act fast to stop them.

Meanwhile, Clive and his partner Dale are also working to stop the Salivation Army. They've managed to track down Harley Johns and are in the process of arresting him when they realize that he's not the real leader of the group. The true leader is someone much closer to home than they ever could have imagined.

As Liv races to stop the Salivation Army from attacking the shelter, she finds herself facing off against the true leader of the group. It's a shocking revelation, and Liv has to use all of her skills and her wits to stay alive and protect her fellow zombies. Ultimately, Liv and her friends are able to bring down the Salivation Army and save the day... but at a cost.

"Salivation Army" is a tense and action-packed episode that sees the stakes for the show's characters raised to new heights. The Salivation Army are some of the show's most dangerous villains yet, and their attacks on zombies throughout the city make for some truly heart-pounding moments. Meanwhile, Liv's internal struggle over her loyalty to her zombie brethren and her desire to help humans adds a layer of complexity to her character that makes her even more compelling. All in all, "Salivation Army" is a must-watch episode for fans of iZombie.
