46

“Commence the ritual and may the blood lend us life beyond the grave,” the leader tells his followers. At the morgue that night, the bizarre worker is busy playing with a frog he keeps in a fishbowl. Suddenly, Virginia’s body rises up and bites a chunk out of his neck. Later, when Roger says Francine looks sick, Stephen tells him she’s pregnant; she’s tied up in the basement and he throws steaks to her at night and she gets to see Suri only on Sundays. In the cemetery, Betty tells Pedro that she’s not really interested in men. He takes the revelation as a challenge and rapes her. After he’s finished, the huge church bell goes off and Francine tells the men in the group she doesn’t want to be treated differently because of her condition, and asks to be left with a gun when they go off again. The flirting between her former fling and Roger is too much for her and she goes to the end of the train to get some air. (On the TV, we see a scientist describe the zombie situation by saying they’re not cannibals because they don’t feed on each other…they feed on the warm blood of humans.)
