During a public check, Lex is accused of carrying the zombie virus after he accidentally kissed Yara while trying to stop her manic episode. The crowd panics and Lex insists it was an accident, not an infection. Organizers force the venue system to make Yara speak; she stutters "Lex," proving she can talk and isn't a zombie. Medical staff note her bluish-gray skin but call it a temporary skin condition that will heal. Despite this, witnesses stay suspicious and decide to report the two to Mr. Lee, leaving their status unresolved.
