Plot[]

After the team was able to find a way to supply the city's brains to feed the zombie population through caterer Yvonne May and former CEO Topher Briggs, the detectives were working on paperwork one day when they were informed by Chief Babineaux that a brain processing plant worker had called in about a murder. Nick and the player then headed to the plant, where they then discovered the pulverized remains of a corpse. Ravi then told them that despite the fact there wasn't a distinguishable identity, he would do his best to find out who was the victim. After hours of autopsy, Ravi and Livia revealed their results of examination to identity the victim to be Yvonne May. The detectives investigated the plant and the victim's restaurant, where they found clues to suspect brain processing plant worker Gabbie Nightingale, food truck caterer Dolly Dillion, donut shop owner Henrietta Faust and CEO of SeattleHealth Jackson Potter in the homicide. Afterwards, Livia revealed to the detectives that Ravi and Yvonne had been in touch about studying the zombie's consumption of brains.

The detectives then questioned Ravi, who confessed that he had been talking to the victim about the studies they were doing on the brains' effect on the zombie. The player and Nick then discovered that the victim was getting sponsors and help on the Le Cerveau menu from author Stefan Night and waitress Elle Tomlinson, leading to the detectives suspecting them both before they also discovered the victim's brain in a jar. Livia revealed that the lacerations in the brain suggested that the killer took the part of the brain they had jarred when Yvonne was dead, before pulverizing her remains to the ground remains they had found. They then found out that Gabbie had blamed Fillmore Graves for the wall and forcing her to have the job she had, before they found out that Dolly had told Yvonne that she would become a "T-bone steak" for the zombies if she kept supporting them. They also found out that Jackson and Yvonne were trying to find the missing Utopium together, before the detectives were informed by Izabela that zombies were rioting, blaming the humans for killing their favourite brain chef.

The detectives then went to calm down the rioters, soon discovering that Henrietta was among them. After they learned from the donut shop owner that she was a zombie, recently infected by an attacker, she then told them that she would not stand for the attack against Yvonne, not anymore. The player and Nick then reinvestigated the victim's kitchen, where they found out that Elle had lied to the team about not knowing the victim well, due to the close and friendly texts between her and Yvonne. They also found out that that Stefan had given a locket to the victim as a proclamation of love, and that Ravi had gifted Yvonne a bottle of hot sauce to help her with her menu. After the detectives reinvestigated the plant, soon finding more clues to the murder, Livia eventually helped her brother and the player with finding the evidence to incriminate Stefan Night as the killer.

The player and Nick confronted Stefan about killing Yvonne, and the author denied the murder, insisting on his proclamation of love for her. He then cracked and confessed to the murder after Nick confronted him about the lacerated brain that he had taken from Yvonne's corpse. Stefan then told them that in his stories, he wrote his stories based on real life situations, and never a fictional situation. He then told them, that in order to carry out the plan that he had of a serial killer who killed their victims by pulverizing them, he had to make the murder happen. He then lamented how he had little care for the zombie-human tensions, telling them that the escalation of the tensions would be good for a story. He then laughed as he explained how he lured Yvonne into his trap, telling her how he liked and supported the ideas she had for her "Le Cerveau" menu, even enticing her with gifts and romance. He then stole the keys to the plant from Gabbie, hoping to pin the murder on her, before he then lured Yvonne to the plant, before attacking and pushing her into the mixing bowl, killing her, before he took the brain as a trophy. When Nick asked him why he took the brain, Stefan then told them that someone asked him to bring them Yvonne's brain in exchange for protection from the police. Disgusted, Nick then arrested the writer and sent him to trial, where Judge Pryce sentenced Stefan to life in prison for his crime and refusal to name who he spoke to. After the trial, Topher Briggs, who had been in his office the whole time, told them that he had gotten in touch with his contacts, before Xavier revealed that Stefan's transport van had been attacked.

After they were informed of Stefan's transport van attack, the detectives, along with Livia, then hurried to investigate. There, they found Stefan wounded with several scratches on his body, prompting Livia to rush Stefan back to the morgue. Nick and the player then spoke to Commander Buckley about the latest developments, the commander telling them to go to the plant to get a specialized first aid kit for Stefan, since he could've been attacked by a zombie, and told them to help Topher get what he needed to complete the planning of his brain supply operation. Nick and the player then headed to the brain processing plant, where they retrieved a first aid kit made for a zombie attack, before they sent it to the morgue so Livia could tend to Stefan's injuries properly. After a few hours, Livia and the player questioned Stefan about what happened, the writer eating a brain tube before he revealed that he was attacked by an unknown figure that scratched him deeply and left him for dead, or rather to transform into a zombie, before the detectives found him. When Livia confronted Stefan about whether the attack was because he helped Dolly Dillion, Stefan confessed that he only lied because he did not know the anonymous contact that promised him protection for Yvonne's brain. Livia then told the player that she would have Stefan looked after and sent to Fillmore Graves on Judge Pryce's orders.

Meanwhile, the player and Nick spoke to Topher, who requested that they help him retrieve Yvonne's notes on the brain supply imports, so he could coordinate them with his contacts. Nick and the player found Yvonne's notes in her briefcase, before they sent the notes to Vampire Steve, so he could work with Topher to create the brain supplying operation. Afterwards, Topher revealed the operation they had made, and that his contacts would be gathering brains from the donors when they passed away, as well from third world countries to restock the brains in the processing plant. He then thanked the player and the detectives for giving him a second chance, before he left to go back to the Briggs Manor, where he would rest. Nick and the player then informed Commander Buckley of the successful operation, and he congratulated them on their hard work, before telling them that they had more things to deal with, such as the attacks. However, he told them that he was grateful for their help.

After all the events, the Chief then informed the player and Nick about a faded letter that was given to the team, prompting the player to uncover what the letter said. The letter revealed mentions of a zombie scratcher and how they attacked Stefan for what he did, and that Seattle would be a newborn zombie homeland. The Chief then told the team that they had to look out for this serial scratcher, before the zombies made their next move in Seattle.
