At Dooms Inn, guests feast on pre-apocalypse foods cooked by zombies. The Alliance Army warns surface temperatures will reach 226.4°F in August, drawing massive zombie hordes seeking cool shelter. With Maya the only known 3S-Tier zombie, Mr. Ryce admits she can't hold them alone — then reveals there are more and summons all top-tier security to the main hall. The guards greet guests and demand pay; Mr. Ryce vows, "If I close this deal, I'll pay you tonight." The episode ends with his unpaid promise and August's looming hordes, leaving defense and the deal unresolved.
