Part 4/7:
Once in the library, the teenagers must act quickly as they barricade themselves against the growing horde outside. Tensions rise among the group as not only are they fighting for their survival, but secrets and personal struggles begin to emerge. Willow tends to Mrs. Rumbles, whose injury worsens until her transformation into a zombie brings about a chilling reality: they must make the hard choice to “end” her existence.
As they grapple with morality and the complexities of their emotions—particularly Eddie’s feelings for Janet and his burgeoning bond with Willow—Eddie finds himself at a crossroads. Meanwhile, an infection begins to spread among their ranks, culminating with Brad’s secret bite from Mrs. Rumbles, which he keeps hidden.
