Line 12:
All goes well until a mishap with Fido's collar causes him to attack and kills the Robinson's neighbor, Mrs. Henderson; Timmy manages to re-kill her and dispose of her body, but not in time to prevent the deaths and reanimation of several other people in the neighborhood. Now Timmy must try to keep Fido's actions under wraps while dealing with increasing scrutiny by Zomcom and growing friction between his parents.

Line 20:
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Johnathan Bottoms is willing to do nearly anything to protect Zomcon's interests, to the point where he {{spoiler|throws Timmy into the [[Fate Worse Than Death|Wild Zone]] after he causes a minor outbreak in Zomcon headquarters while looking for Fido}}.

Line 31:
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Timmy, as mentioned above. Although to be fair he's hardly the only one to blame, and he does feel guilt about his part in the mayhem.
* [[Kids Are Cruel]]: The two Zomscouts, who not only bully Timmy but {{spoiler|plan to kill him by removing Fido's collar, then being "heros" by putting down Fido.}}
* [[Necromantic]]: Mr. Theopolis is in love with his zombie, a still relatively fresh young woman, and does things with her that are... <nowiki>*cough*</nowiki>
** Also, there's {{spoiler|a ''lot'' of romantic tension in the air between Helen and Fido, who while dead, is a lot more alive than her husband.}}
