Zelvirella, a character similar to Vampira. Concerned that the undead will eventually outnumber the living, Hannity presents his "Project Zoltan," an experimental gas designed to reengineer zombies, to Coleman Corporation's board of directors. During a demonstration performed by Dr. Judith West, the undead test subject's head unexpectedly explodes. Disappointed with these results, Coleman CEO Bob Coleman terminates the project. However, Coleman subsequently dies from a sex swing accident and resurrects as a brain-damaged zombie, so Hannity uses the opportunity to take control of the company.

Zelvirella and can stand in for Debbie Jones. Along with Freddy and Maggie, Karl goes to the place where Jane performs and convinces her to come with them. Following a series of mishaps and odd events, including Karl having sex with Jane and an encounter with a state trooper, Karl, Freddy, and Maggie escort Jane back to Otto Maddox's private suite above his latest performance art show. Meanwhile, Hannity deploys his Project Zoltan gas on the show floor, which makes the zombies suddenly turn violent against humans.
