Synopsis[]
The infected multiply in droves. Scrambling for their lives, Nam On-jo and Lee Cheong-san find safety with others inside a classroom — but not for long.
Plot[]
The Principal calls a staff meeting and downplays the severity of the situation to emergency services and the school teachers, claiming the outbreak is just a hoax and everything is fine. He says that anything that happens in the school must be handled internally and sends the teachers to get the students back into their classrooms. However, English teacher Park Sun-hwa is unconvinced and leaves to make an emergency announcement from the broadcasting room, on her way she witnesses a zombie devour a confused colleague and nearly her but she's able to escape.
In the cafeteria, the kitchen staff try to fight off the zombies with their tools but are quickly overwhelmed. Lee Cheong-san and Nam On-jo escape through a window with several other students, and eventually make it back to their classroom. Yoon Gwi-nam hides in the kitchen with some other students, and pushes a girl to the zombies when she starts crying. Lee Su-hyeok, having alerted Choi Nam-ra to the zombies and pulled her out of the path of a horde, uses the school groundskeeper's ladder to get them both up and into Classroom 2-5, where a group of students have barricaded themselves inside. Lee Na-yeon tells them not to let anyone in but the other students don't listen, allowing Cheong-san, On-jo, Su-hyeok, Nam-ra, and Yang Dae-su to get inside to safety.
At the police station, detective Song Jae-ik interrogates Lee Byeong-chan about his kidnapping of Kim Hyeon-ju. Byeong-chan retorts that everything he did was because no one listened when he reported the bullying at Hyosan High School, and says that nothing matters because everyone is now going to die. Clips of Byeong-chan's research logs are shown, and he describes the process of creating the zombie virus, which he named the Jonas Virus, to try and force his son to fight back against the bullies. However, his son instead entered an aggressive, feral state and bit his mother, passing the virus on to her.
Hyeon-ju arrives at the hospital and completes her zombie transformation during an MRI test. The staff pull her out of the machine and she attacks them before escaping into the hospital emergency ward, where she attacks the patients and staff. Outside, the archery team bus almost runs over Park Hee-su, who they don't realize is going into labor. The team continues their route back to the school, and the Archery Coach berates Jang Ha-ri for failing to win a single gold medal. As the bus reaches the school gates, it hits a zombie, and the team peer out of the windows to try and see what is going on.
In Class 2-5, the group searches for a cell phone to try and contact the outside world. Yoon I-sak finds Yang Yeong-ju's, but the police dismiss their call as a hoax until more calls start to come in from the hospital. On-jo then calls the fire brigade to make a false fire report of a fire in their classroom, and a fire crew (not including On-jo's father) is immediately dispatched to the school.
Gym teacher Kang Jin-gu joins the students in the classroom and tries to get them to barricade the doors, but I-sak points out that he has been bitten. Jin-gu transforms and bites Kim Min-ji while the other students flee into the hallway, pulling out nearby classroom windows and doors to use as makeshift shields to get upstairs. In the chaos, Su-hyeok is separated from the group and hides in an art classroom to escape the zombies. On-jo uses a nearby fire hose to break the lock on the science lab door and the group hides inside, though they realize they dropped the phone in the corridor.
Three students have hidden in the girls' bathroom - Yoo Jun-seong, Lee Ha-lim, and Park Mi-jin. Ha-lim is showing signs of infection, though Jun-seong writes it off as shock until Mi-jin finds out that Ha-lim has been bitten and makes Jun-seong help her barricade Ha-lim in a toilet. When Ha-lim turns, the other two try unsuccessfully to kill her by staking her through the head with a broken mop handle before Ha-ri appears in the doorway and shoots an arrow through Ha-lim's neck, killing her. She tells fellow archer Jung Min-jae to shoot the other two if they turn, and Mi-jin's angry retort is interrupted by static over the school radio.
Having reached the broadcasting center, Sun-hwa sends an emergency message out to the school, telling all students and teachers to get to safety and call emergency services if they can. The zombies are drawn to the noise from the speakers and try to attack them as Sun-hwa encourages all survivors to stay safe until they can meet again and apologizes for not being able to do more to help.
Outside the school, Nam So-ju is driving out to a government building in response to an emergency call, and radio reports indicate that a high volume of similar calls are coming in from all over the city.
In the science lab, I-sak tries to comfort On-jo, but On-jo notices her friend's hand is cold and they realize that I-sak was bitten during the hallway struggle. I-sak transforms and tries to attack the others, but is thrown out of a window by Cheong-san. On-jo tries to save I-sak from falling by grabbing her hand, but Cheong-san breaks the hold and I-sak falls to the ground, to On-jo's despair.
A while later, Cheong-san suggests that they use the fire hose in the corridor to try and get to the broadcast center, as the makeshift barricades they've put up over the broken corridor windows won't hold forever. The students retrieve the hose and tie foot holds into it, climbing down one at a time past a classroom full of zombies before reaching the broadcasting room window, where they meet up with Sun-hwa. On-jo is one of the last ones to go, she considers staying to get eaten by the zombies due to losing I-sak but Cheong-san convinces her to live. Successfully letting On-jo to climb down into the broadcasting room safely.
In the art classroom, Su-hyeok narrowly escapes a group of zombies and manages to climb onto the outside window ledge, where the zombies are unable to follow him. Back in the science lab, Cheong-san is the last to escape down the fire hose after he convinces On-jo to escape first, and several zombies jump out of the window after him as the class watches in horror from the broadcasting room.

Trivia[]
- Cheong-san name drops the movie Train to Busan because the events happening in Hyosan are similar to the film.
- In the webtoon, the survivors of Class 2-5 directly fled from their classroom to the broadcast room instead of leaving the cafeteria for the classroom first, and then escaping to the science lab.
- At the beginning of the episode, when Jin-gu barged into Class 2-5, I-sak asked for Mr. Kang’s departure from the classroom, while in the webtoon, Ms. Park asked for another teacher, named Mr. Ahn, to leave the broadcast room.
- Coincidentally, Mr. Ahn and Mr. Kang both exhibited reluctance to leave the room.
- On-jo slammed Mr. Kang with a backpack in the TV series in the classroom, while in the webtoon, she slammed Mr. Ahn with a fire extinguisher in the broadcast room.
- Mr. Ahn fell down from On-Jo’s sudden attack, while Mr. Kang did not.
- The scene showing the zombie with a pair of gardening scissors stabbed in its abdomen mirror a similar scene in the webtoon, where Joon-yeong stabbed a zombie in the neck with a broken broom stick in order to help On-jo and ms Park escape, though is unsuccessful in killing it, and the zombie later runs and attacks another nearby student with the stick still sticking out of its neck.
- In the webtoon, as soon as On-jo slammed Mr. Ahn with the fire extinguisher, Joon-yeong and his classmates dragged Mr. Ahn out of the broadcast room, and they were almost caught by two zombies wandering in the hallway.
- While in the TV series, the zombified Jing-gu was trapped in Class 2-5 along with the zombified Min-ji.
- Su-hyeok was trapped in a calligraphy classroom instead of an art classroom in the webtoon.
- He climbed out of the window to dodge zombies in the webtoon, but he reunited with the survivors by entering the broadcast room’s front door instead of through the window in the TV series.
- While fighting off the zombies, he recognized a girl he met prior to the outbreak.
