We've got an exclusive clip for you from the episode, as Liv pays Clive a visit, while trying to control how uncomfortable she is.When we spoke to Rose McIver about iZombie , we asked her if there was a talent Liv picked up that was particularly challenging and she said it was the one she has in this episode - but that her gamer costars came to her rescue.Explained McIver, "In my own life, I played Crash Bandicoot non-stop until my thumbs got blisters. Other than that, I didn’t really know a lot about the gaming world but working with Rahul [Kohli] and [Robert] Buckley, just the criticism, I’ve never felt so monitored on set. Like when I was talking about things and playing I was like 'They know I’m faking it!' But hopefully their professional understanding of it all was very helpful. They told me what did and didn’t work and where you would be looking on the screen at that time. It was quite fun."While Liv, Clive (Malcolm Goodwin), and Ravi (Rahul Kohli) are on the case, Blaine (David Anders) gets to know someone close to Liv. Kohli's real life love of gaming is reflected in the episode, as Ravi gets to use his gaming knowledge to help Liv.Get a look at what's ahead by looking through the photos in the below gallery.
