Alright, I recently saw the promo for Highway of tears, and there is a brief part where nicks face adopts his alter egos grey hue. This signal to me that, with the restoration of his powers, his zombie form will also return. And I think I know the manner in which it happens.

See, back in season three, I asked myself why it was that Nicks zombie powers activated against some foes, like Krampus, but not others, like the three scalping gods. It took me an hour, but I came up with the theory that the zombie powers, like the woge, required certain circumstances to activate. For Nick, the circumstance required is oxygen depravation. It makes sense. When he was recusing that young naiad in 3x04, he would have had to have held his breath. When he knocked Krampus out, it was just after the creature had started to strangle him. In no other fights is he deprived of air, and in no other fights does zombie Nick surface.

So, how does this tell us how zombie Nick will appear in the next episode? I saw the recent preview, and the creature of the week uses its tounge to strangle people. My guess is that one of them starts to strangle Nick, nearly succeeds, only to be stopped when zombie Nick emerges and kills him.

So, any thoughts A?
