Ep 1. Warren's Dream

Warren's Dream is the first episode of the fourth season of the popular post-apocalyptic horror-comedy series, Z Nation. The episode picks up where the season three finale left off, with the show's protagonist, Murphy, being carried away by his daughter, Lucy, who has been transformed into a blend of human and zombie DNA. This season opener focuses on Warren, who is leading a group of survivors in their journey towards the mysterious West Coast, where a new hope for humanity is believed to exist.

The episode's premise revolves around Warren's dreams, which are more like nightmares. Warren believes that her dreams have some kind of a prophecy, which can guide her and the group. These dreams are not normal ones; they are vivid, lucid, and haunting. She sees flashbacks of her past, which still haunt her. She has a conversation with Murphy, who is still inside her head. Even in her dreams, she cannot escape him. She sees him as Lucy, and it remains a reminder of how much has happened. The dreams always seem to be pointing her towards the West Coast, and she decides to take them seriously.

Warren is convinced that she has to lead her group towards the West Coast, based on her dreams. She becomes obsessed with the idea, and her compulsion starts to affect her leadership decisions. Her obsession puts the group in danger, and everyone, except her, can see it. The group puts together a plan to escape the immediate danger, but Warren continues to push them forward, believing that they need to continue on their journey.

The episode shifts between Warren's dreams and reality, as the audience tries to decipher which parts are real and which are not. The dreams keep getting more and more intense, and it becomes unclear whether Warren is still dreaming or is awake. She is convinced that her dreams are telling her to follow a particular path, and she is not willing to leave anything to chance.

The episode also introduces new characters who are shrouded in mystery. They are a group of blue-skinned people who have established a settlement on a gas station, a place they call Limbo. The discovery that they are not alone in the world, and that others have found ways to survive, brings a much-needed relief to the group. However, they still have their doubts and remain suspicious of the blue-skinned group.

Warren continues to struggle with her dreams, and it almost becomes like a battle between her and her subconscious. She does not know whether to trust her dreams or to put her trust in her instincts. As she follows the path her dreams are leading her through, she is faced with a series of challenges, which seem impossible to overcome.

The zombies, too, have undergone an upgrade in this episode. They have become much smarter and much more dangerous than before. They have developed new techniques to attack their prey, and their heads are no longer the only way to kill them.

The episode culminates in a series of battles, both physical and psychological. Warren's dreams finally make sense, and everything starts to fall into place. The group finally realizes that they need to trust Warren and that her dreams have a purpose. The episode ends with the group walking towards Limbo, the uncertainty of what lies ahead weighing heavily on their minds.

Warren's Dream is a well-crafted episode that sets the tone for the fourth season. It introduces new characters and offers a glimpse into the challenges that the group will face as they try to build a new world in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. The episode is filled with suspense, action, and drama, keeping the audience engaged throughout.
