- October 23, 2005
In 6teen season 2 episode 7, titled Dude of the Living Dead, the gang finds themselves in the middle of a zombie apocalypse -- or so they think. When Caitlin brings back a costume from the mall's Halloween store, a series of strange events leads the group to believe that the undead have risen from their graves and are now on the prowl.
As the night goes on, the gang splits up to search for food and supplies, with Jen and Nikki teaming up to raid the candy store. Meanwhile, Wyatt and Jude set out to find a weapon to defend themselves against the zombie hordes. However, when they stumble across a mysterious figure lurking in the dark, things take a turn for the worse.
As panic spreads throughout the mall, the gang must band together to survive the night. Along the way, they encounter other survivors and come up with a plan to escape the mall and make it to safety. However, when the supposed "zombies" turn out to be nothing more than regular people in costumes, the gang must face the consequences of their fear-fueled actions.
Amidst all the chaos, the gang also faces their own personal struggles. Jude grapples with his fear of the undead and his desire to be a hero, while Wyatt struggles with his unrequited crush on Caitlin. Meanwhile, Jonesy and Ron battle it out for the title of "dude of the dead," with hilarious and unexpected results.
As the night draws to a close, the gang emerges from the mall with a newfound appreciation for each other and a greater understanding of the power of fear. With its blend of humor, heart, and action, Dude of the Living Dead is a standout episode of 6teen that is not to be missed.
