Z Nation Season 3, Episode 10
Syfy’s Z Nation has separated itself into three main storylines in Season 3, and it’s getting harder and harder to care about these fragmented parts of an already broken mythos. However, with only a handful of episodes left until the camp zombie series either gives its last bow or shocks everyone and picks up a 4th season run, things are starting to come together, however odd. The only problem there is that, when the duo finds the zombaby, she’s aged about 5 years more than she should have and she’s got some freaky control of the Zs in her presence. Like-father-like-daughter I suppose. Still, this isn’t enough to deter Doc and Addy from their mission. After all, what is this show without videogame-style side quests for our bonkers characters to navigate their way through? Meanwhile, Murphy, who has no idea any of this is going on, is focusing on his most troubling blend, 10K (Nat Zang) from here on referred to as Thomas. It’s unclear why Murphy has such an obsession with breaking the sniper’s spirits and making him his most loyal blend. It could be that they’ve previously rubbed each other the wrong way, it could be that 10K killed Murphy’s first blend or it could be that Murphy is kind of a dick. After playing along with a twisted zombified game of hide and seek, Lucy is confronted by an Ender, feral humans that have survived the apocalypse but gone mad. Addy rushes in and kicks the crap out of said Ender and therefore endears herself to the child. She agrees to go with them, not knowing they don’t actually plan to bring her to her dad. However, when they’re all loading up in the car, The Man (Joseph Gatt) appears. Previously, this guy was working on behalf of Zona, the alleged safe haven that’s running low on zombie inoculations. It seems as though that’s still his game, but he still followed Murphy’s orders to pick up his daughter. Even if he wasn’t kind to her. For real, he tased her for being annoying and then put a bag over her head to teach her a lesson – this is a child remember. Unfortunately for him, Murphy and Lucy appear to have some kind of psychic bond that allows him to realize that the man he sent to rescue his child is a colossal jerk. So, it’s official, everyone on the board right now really wants to see The Man killed in the most gruesome way possible. He is a grown man that elects to wear flip-flops in the apocalypse after all, so how much are we supposed to sympathize with him anyway?
