This week's iZombie featured the season's most fun case and some rocky relationship issues. Let's start with the case of the week. Most of the cases are mildly amusing at most. Liv and Clive interview some people, Liv has some visions, and eventually they figure out which suspect did the deed. While this week's case wasn't much different in format, it did feature a puzzle as to how the murder was committed, that made it a little more fun to try and solve as the episode went on. Ravi's glee at solving a case involving magicians was made all the more funny by Clive's disdain for the profession. It was one of the show's more well crafted cases that made for a lot of fun moments involving Clive, Liv, and Ravi.
The more personal side of the episode feature each character's relationships, and few of them are going well. Major is struggling with the idea of Liv's personality changes, but is still falling into his old habit of keeping it to himself instead of sharing it with Liv. Maybe one day he'll learn that being honest would help a lot of his problems, but I don't think that is happening any time soon. Ravi very uncharacteristically was a jerk about dumping his girlfriend, and then tried to hit on Peyton who was not reciprocating. It was weird to see Ravi behave this way, but it's no surprise that his feelings for Peyton are much stronger than he has let her know. Peyton meanwhile continued flirting with Blaine, though nothing came of it. I get it, this adds "drama" to the show, but I'm already bored by this story line. The episode also revealed that Clive and Dale are much more than just friendly co-workers. I'll admit, I didn't expect that relationship to happen so quickly. What makes that more complicated is that Liv and Blaine have been spying on Dale, and they were much less subtle than they should have been. Liv has become a decent detective, and Blaine is a excellent criminal, so them being so careless about breaking into Dale's house seems odd. I still believe Clive will find out about Liv's secret very soon.
This week's review is short, and uninspired, but I'm going to blame that on all of the Thanksgiving festivities that were going on.
