Wilde, Hopps, Bogo, Bellwether, and Lionheart were striding through Cliffside's aptly named "zombie ward" when Judy came to her resolve: "We have to come clean. We cannot keep this a secret. We need to place this city under mandatory quarantine," she said.

"I agree," Adonis said, "If this virus gets out, then Mammalian and Reptilian civilization will end as we know it."

The five exited Cliffside and drove to Precinct One, where they planned to hold the press conference.

"You tell them everything, Judy. I don't want the public in the dark anymore. Also, answer any and all questions they might have, until they run out of things to ask that are case relevant." Lionheart said.

"Including the part where you kitnapped the mammals? Yeah, I figured that out," Judy said.

"You did? How?" Lionheart asked.

"The how doesn't matter. What matters is that you did good, what with keeping the city feeling safe," Judy explained, "But now you know exactly what it is, and that there's no cure or vaccine. No reason to keep it from the public any longer."

"What do you mean we know what this is? We're not even close to figuring it out!" Lionheart exclaimed.

"Well you are talking to the rabbit who's great grandparents designed the virus during WWII," Judy said.

"Wait- WHAT?! This virus... is NECROTIZING RABIES?! The goddamn incurable ZOMBIE VIRUS ?! Shit-shit-shit-shit. This isn't happening. This is just a nightmare. This isn't happening this isn't happening this isn't happening," Dawn repeated, now in full panic mode.

"I'm sorry, Dawn, but it is," Judy said, placing a paw on her shoulder.
