Season two ramps up the tension with more reveals about the zombie virus, and we’ve got some questions about potential plot holes we’re dying to have answered. Spoilers ahead!

If Lord Ahn Hyeon knew about the zombies, why didn’t he know they feared heat?

As hinted in Season one, the crown prince’s beloved mentor and father figure had already fought zombies before. It was revealed in season two that Lord Ahn Hyeon (Heo Joon-ho) had worked together (however unwillingly) with Cho, sacrificing a village to create a zombie army to fight the Japanese. Shouldn’t Lord Ahn have known it was heat and not sunlight that they feared?

If the worm is sensitive to heat and water, why didn’t they die when being cooked?

The big reveal in season two was that the zombies aren’t afraid of sunlight – it’s the temperature they’re affected by, which spells big trouble for our heroes as winter is coming (pun intended). That being said, the disaster started back in season one, when peasants unknowingly ate a stew made from the body of an infected boy. How did the double whammy of heat and water not kill or get rid of the worms?

How did Seo-bi get water?

The palace and subsequently, the throne room is overrun and the mad queen lets herself be swarmed and bitten, with her “son”, i.e. Moo Young’s (Kim Sang-ho) baby in her arms. Strong-willed nurse Seo-bi (Bae Doona) fends off the zombies using fire, grabs the baby, then uses a burning cloth to cover them both, before barricading herself in a room. After that we see Lee Chang finding Seo-bi, who promises him that the baby is not infected. How did she find water in that room to flush the worms out?

What happened to the rest of the zombie horde?

At the climax of the palace invasion, Lee Chang and his tiny band of survivors have lured the zombies to the frozen palace lake, first using guns, then eventually brute strength (and one zombie head) to smash through the ice, drowning the zombies.

What happened to the rest of the zombies outside the palace? How did the tiny group of survivors kill them?

How did the worms survive in the king?

We time-skip seven years into the future, where Moo Young’s son has survived and remains king. Ominously, we see worms moving towards his head. However, Seo-bi says all the worms left his body when he was first bitten during the palace bloodbath – how have they managed to stay alive for years? Did the worms lay eggs which only just hatched?

Also, Seo-bi said that the disease doesn’t affect newborns – only those with fully-formed brains. Is this another sign the worms are evolving and will eventually zombify the growing king?

We expect the show will answer some of these in Season three, with the major cliffhanger and appearance of a mysterious pirate queen (hello, Jun Ji-hyun), who seems to be behind the re-emergence of the resurrection flower. My Zombie from Another Star anyone?
