Solid 2nd episode. Enjoyed the intro providing more background and then a well written story to follow. The plot was easy to understand, getting from A to B with obstacles in the way, with good pacing that crammed in a lot of details and characterization. Good use of tension and I enjoyed the clicker introduction. Only gripe was that"kiss" that looked cool but didn't seem to fit with what we'd seen of the infected so far. Maybe they are going for something with the cordyceps hive mind or the infected having some humanity inside.

This was covered in an interview with the show runners. The only reason the infected attack people is to subdue them to spread the fungus. Tess was already infected and she was losing control of her body, so there was no reason for the zombie dude to attack her. Transferring the tendrils through the "kiss" was simply the most efficient way to speed up the process and connect a new body to the network
