White Light: Season 2, Episode 2

WARNING: If you don't want to know what happens in this episode, don't read this photo recap.

Citizen Z is really having a time of it up north. There are zombies in the base, his computers are all pretty much fried, and he's not really equipped for killing ... as a person, anyway.

Prepare yourselves for this episode. There’s a lot of running around. Like, a lot. It's amazing, don't get us wrong, but legit: A LOT OF RUNNING. Also, SOMEONE DIES! Who will it be?

And then there's this guy in the suit with the bazooka. He's come out of nowhere and wants Murphy just as bad as all the crazy bounty hunters that have descended upon sleepy little Cheyenne, WY.

One of the bounty hunters looking for Murphy is this jackass, who bosses around his rifle-toting hick minions.

Meanwhile, Murphy is just looking out for Murphy.

And then there's this guy: Vasquez, who's also looking for Murphy and is just all sorts of bad-ass. Were this a video game, he's probably the character we’d end up playing after we finally beat the game.

So, again, the deal with Cassandra is that she's not a zombie ... but she's not quite human, either. However, her jumping on this lady and trying to eat her suggests more zombie than human, no?

10K moves toward the light after a blow from a bazooka ... but he doesn't die. He does, however, lose his hearing.

Addy gets shot in the face! But it's just a scratch. Everybody run! And shoot at more stuff! Protect Murphy! Find Murphy! Shoot! Run!

Murphy's zombie entourage really won't leave him be, though he does get them to back off just a little bit ... and constructs a plan to fool the bounty hunters.

Addy is saved from a zombie by Mack. We were really hoping these two chuckleheads would've worked it out by now. Remains to be seen.

Yikes, Cassandra. We're all for character growth ... but wow, she really let the dogs out, no?

So 10K is pretty much deaf and Doc is having a hard time with how difficult and ridiculous this situation has gotten. Can you blame him? Either way, these two are a bromance we're behind. And together, they try to defeat a sniper ...

... which ends with Doc getting choked almost to death and floating above his body and seeing a weapon, which he then uses to kill the guy who was choking him. Phew!

Oh no! Citizen Z is fighting off those North Pole zombies and his life flashes before his eyes! But he lives to see another day. Phew!

Then it's Roberta's turn to see her life flash before her eyes! Oh no! Okay, no no, it's all good, Vasquez beats the attacking bounty hunter to death and saves her. Turns out he's an okay guy, that Vasquez.

Is it Murphy? Is he the one who's going to die? Turns out ... yes! He says goobye cruel Z world and jumps from the roof of a hotel ...

... and lands in a pool of the undead. So … he lives. Or unlives. Murphy stays as he is, basically.

Meanwhile, Addy been desperately trying to get a door open to rescue Mack from a stairwell full o' Z's. When she finally gets it open, she sees ...

... Mack, being devoured by zombies. Yes, sorry, team. It's Mack. He joins the ranks of his other fallen brethren, including Tom Everett Scott and Michael from Lost. God speed you, Mack.

Addy beats the hell out of Murphy to express her rage and grief about Mack. As we all would.

And finally, the team all (mostly) assembled again, they drive off to get Murphy to the CDC, with Vasquez in tow ...  hoping to out-run the dust storm that's kicking up all the nuclear fallout.

Before we go, let's check in with this intense dude in the suit with the bazooka. He has this "Z" tattoo. What does it mean?
