- Quotes
[with no provocation, Liv feels compelled to fix Ravi's hair]
Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti: Though not remotely sexual, that's got to be some form of harassment.
Liv Moore: Watch your fingers. That scalpel is sharp.
Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti: I'd say Emily's brain effects are taking hold, specifically the fierce maternal instinct that kicks in just prior to giving birth.
[Liv reaches out for Ravi's hair again]
Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti: I can call it a day, unless you have the urge to make me lunch or do my laundry.
Liv Moore: You wish. Have you, really, not eaten lunch?
Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti: Please let this conversation end with you cutting the crust of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Liv Moore: That's not funny. Are you really hungry though, seriously? I think I'm done for the day, but you should eat something. Possibly with vegetables -- if you so choose. Okay, I'm leaving now.

This week's case focuses on the killing of Emily Sparrow. That was somewhat of a surprise because it had already been believed that she was killed months prior by her boyfriend. Regardless, the case was reopened. This time, Clive's superior will be involved. We learned last week that he is a zombie and it is apparent this case has something to do with that. This case also revolves around a creepy cult. As for the "Candyman" subplot, Major runs into an intrepid reporter who questions if law enforcement officials are even concerned with the missing homeless teens, especially when set against rich kids. Major is becoming more likable, ain't he?
Overall, this is a still a solid episode. Liv's brain and personality was just not my type, although she did have some amusing moments. The ending was great, especially since the episode became more supernatural and occult-like. I also liked when Clive described his first ever stakeout...and had to chase the perp on a sugar-high. Although the case of the week was not as strong, there were still excellent moments of humor and drama.
