However, despite posing as a firearms expert she calls her magazine a clip, and does not feel the weight difference when her weapon is empty. Worse, she aims her shots at the centre of body mass instead of just putting one in the zombie's head.
The survivors from the funeral home take the hearse to the old folks home. The place is overrun, but the youngsters have a plan.
The whistleblower is targeted by the fracking boss. Meanwhile, his Corporate superior and her security goon go exploring in the mysterious cavern. The detective is in medical custody, and despite being bitten he has not yet turned.

Day of the Dead (2021) [Season 1, Episode 10]
Choke on 'Em!
Shown 17 Dec 21
The main characters get back to the Paymart. The security team got there first, and the massive battle happened off-screen for budgetary reasons. Presumably it was like Season one of Game of Thrones , when the money had completely run out.
The main characters have a plan to destroy the zombies. They use a prisoner as bait to lure the monsters into a trap. Of course, this just makes the so-called good guys into murderers.
Meanwhile, the scientist lady takes her sample to Pittsburgh. Her daughter is in hospital there, and the scientist thinks that infecting her with zombie-itis is somehow a good idea.
