Frida and Judy run and hide in the basement with Brian and Joe. Judy is bitten by a zombie while helping Frida inside.While watching the news on a TV set, Joe sees that the terrorist responsible for the outbreak is wearing the same necklace as Frida.

Brian is able to lift the nail out of Frida's foot and before they leave, Brian is attacked and eaten by the zombified Judy. The wounded Joe watches in disbelief as his wife devours Brian.As Mayor Burton starts to show obvious signs of infection, Mrs. Hunt suggests quarantining him in a room which causes Mayor Burton to rebel against her.
