Episode 151

It's time for Solomon's River's most popular cable-access TV show, Cut-Blow, hosted by Taiwanese Exchange student Whitney Shears, where viewers get to watch real hair salon action.  12 year old Jeremy, who has the zombie-inoculation-induced uncuttable beard, is in the chair.  They avoid the beard and trim his hair, color and gossip about Mrs. Tilapia and Judge Graft, who is nothing but bad news.  The only gossip Jeremy has is that the Bailiff, a neighbor of his, touched him inappropriately.  Some kids in the audience shout confessions that they, too, have been touched by the Bailiff.  The hosts, not being mandatory reporters, move on to other gossip, including that the stylist heard there were zombie-reversal ice cubes for sale on Amazon.  The audience cheers.

Rajiv has applied to every fast food joint in Solomon's River and Princess Lakshmi says it's time she asks her royal parents for a favor: get Rajiv a job.  Princess Lakshmi Skypes and finds her Papa is now into franchising 7-11s and that she should send Rajiv over in the morning.

Bailiff's girlfriend has been pregnant for three days and Judge Graft thinks he is being taken advantage of.  Mrs. Tilapia laments that the police department doesn't listen to her.  The Court Reporter reports that Mrs. Tilapia is, however, trending online, though the denizens of Solomon's River don't know she's "a furriner" yet.  Judge Graft orders Mrs. Tilapia to arrest two people every day, which he believes will boost her respect AND get him court business.

A former zombie appears in court with Jessica, the co-ed who was registering zombies to vote.  The former zombie is upset because now he doesn't know if his registration is valid, now that his zombism has gone away.  He says some guy gave him a water bottle, he drank, and just sort of woke up okay.  Judge Graft declares him undead, which gets confusing: it is "undead" or "un-dead".  Mrs. Tilapia's first arrest of the day is Jessica, for illegal voter registration.  Her second arrest is the former zombie for eating brains.
