Overview: Upon returning to and re-opening his ranch house at Beecher's Hope, John finds Abigail and Jack still hogtied, but no longer suffering the effects of the undead plague. The family embraces as the nightmare appears to be over. However, three months later, Seth Briars is seen stealing Ayauhtéotl's Mask from the Escalera Catacombs, an action that apparently takes place sometime after the events of "The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed", because it also causes John to rise from his grave as well. Despite this, he does not become a mindless flesh-eater, and still retains his soul and core functions, but with the physical appearance of a cannibalistic corpse.
