Warning: Spoilers Ahead

Murphy may have gone off the deep end last week, but he will be very glad to learn in tonight’s episode that not all of his Z-minions met a rocky grave at the bottom the Grand Canyon. Some were bold enough to break off from the herd and go straight through the flames, leaving them back on our group’s tail once again.

With a mini-horde after them and the smoke from the fire becoming unbearable, Warren and Co. seek refuge in a remote hotel that had been last used for corporate seminars before the apocalypse hit. Led by Gideon (Anthony Michael Hall) — a corporate conflict resolution specialist and a certified prick — the hotel started out with 120 survivors and is now down to about a half dozen. Even with Gideon being an arrogant, uptight asshole, the people appear to be decent, but that all changes when someone shoots Murphy (Keith Allan) in the chest and nearly kills him.

This is truly a fantastic episode and without getting too spoilery, here’s a few teasers on what you can expect:

• A new “Cassandra” is born with one of the hotel survivors getting a taste of Murphy’s blood. Will Murphy finally get a new “pet” after 10K (Nat Zang) unceremoniously took out the last one? It is truly hilarious to watch, with Doc (Russell Hodgkinson) stealing the show with his wit and unique sense of humor.
• Besides Doc, another character that is spotlighted is Ziggy, a geeky hotel survivor that had been sent to the corporate seminar to improve his people skills. Ziggy is banished from the hotel, but pulls a Tyreese from The Walking Dead by surviving a huge zombie attack with a hammer as his only weapon.
• Addy (Anastasia Baranova) is able to use the hotel’s satellite to finally contact Citizen Z (DJ Qualls) again and get those coordinates for the lab in California. One of the hotel survivors, who is totally crushing on Addy, uses Morse Code to communicate with Citizen Z and obtain the coordinates.
• Perhaps the biggest shocker in the episode is the reveal that one of our survivors is bisexual. Honestly, I was totally shocked and didn’t see this one coming. Which one of the core group do YOU think plays for both teams?

Episode 2.11 of Z Nation  is titled “Corporate Retreat” and airs Friday at 10/9c on Syfy.
