When he returns home, Zach finds someone in his home, who then runs away. Maury shows up, knocks Zach out, and takes Beth home. The cousin says Pearline had nothing to do with what's happening and that she quit working for the Slocums because Maury wanted her to walk around naked. Zach goes to a motel to find Pearline, only to find her cousin there, who thinks it's offensive that anyone would assume they know about voodoo or zombies because they're Haitian. They go back to the Slocum house, where Beth breaks through the window and comes back with her face caked in blood. They resolve to have Maury call their former housekeeper, Pearline, to see if she may know anything about stopping zombies, purely based on the fact that Pearline is Haitian. He wants Zach to lie to her and tell her he made up the story about her death. Maury then comes to get Zach and tell him that it's his fault this is happening since he went and told Beth about her death. In fact, they're not flesh-hungry zombies, just cranky undead people. Kyle tries shooting at them, but they don't go down. Then enters the previous owners of the house. Zach walks home and sees Kyle and their parents panicking, since Zach's dead grandfather is sitting in their living room, now a reanimated corpse. This makes her angrier and she steals his car. Zach then takes her to her grave and tells the truth about her death. She even frightens Erica after thinking Zach has replaced her. She is okay, but when people try and help her, she screams at them and scares them off. After they finish their meal, Zach accidentally runs Beth over with his car. Zach has a hard time telling her what's going on and that he has now preferred that Beth stay dead. She sits with him and she gives her condolences to him over Beth. There, he sees an old childhood friend, Erica Wexler (Anna Kendrick). Needing a break from Beth, Zach goes to a diner. People in town start behaving oddly, exhibiting similar mood swings and spaced-out behavior like Beth. He barely turns around for a second before she breaks the window with her elbow, thinking he was already trying to abandon her. Zach tries to calm her down and takes Beth back to the car. She starts breaking off the lifeguard stand, causing it to catch fire. He begins to serenade her with a song he wrote, but she hates it so much to the point where it pisses her off. One evening, Zach takes Beth to the beach. He does happen to notice the snake bite in her skin, and she later goes home with a blistering sore on her cheek. Against her parents' orders, Zach decides to spend time with Beth, swimming with her and going to the park to have sex. She also mistakes Zach's questioning as thinking he believes she cheated on him or that he wants to break up. Beth has no memory of being dead, claiming that she has a test to study for the next day. Zach is both elated and alarmed to see his girlfriend alive. He sees Geenie trying to push Beth into the closet, forcing them to come clean.

One afternoon, he peeks through the window and sees what he thinks is Beth walking through the halls. He goes over to visit them, but they won't let him in. The Slocums stop contacting Zach and ignore his calls. Despite his family's advice to move on, Zach is still a wreck. Geenie gives Zach one of Beth's scarves as a keepsake.
