Red Dead Redemption - Undead Nightmare
Marston returns home on a stormy night with an uneasy feeling he can't quite put his finger on. John then inquires about Uncle's whereabouts, but Abigail was under the impression that John and Uncle had been together. She tries to assuage John's apprehension by making light of the situation and reminding John that Uncle can take care of himself. This does not, however, set John's mind at ease, and the family has dinner without Uncle. After supper, John asks Jack about the book he's been reading. According to Jack, it's a book about monsters and he begins to relate a story of the ancient Aztecs and a plague-causing curse. Abigail dismisses it as nonsense, and everyone goes to bed. Later that night, when the moon is full, John and Abigail are awoken by Uncle coming into their bedroom. Uncle is covered in blood, sneering and growling. =

John asks him to explain the situation, but despite MacDougal's supposed scientific brilliance, all he can offer John is "I haven't got a fucking clue."

Seth seems disinterested in the conversation and makes light of the situation, saying: "It ain't nothin'." When Marston mentions that the folk in Blackwater are blaming it on the glass eye he found, Seth becomes agitated and begins to damn the townsfolk for their opinion. Seth even decides that Marston has become a threat, proceeding to unsuccessfully coax the Undead Moses into attacking John.

Without much of an alternative, Marston sets off to the graveyards.

Nigel West Dickens has heard reports and rumors that the undead plague is not as pronounced in Mexico and suggests Marston go there to see if he can discover if those rumors are true and to see if he can find out how they're handling the plague, and maybe even discover the cause along the way. Dickens has also heard the rumor about the American Army having a train (the No. 11 red line train) at Benedict Point that is bound for Mexico and it is just waiting for all the soldiers to gather. He tells Marston that if John could disguise himself as a soldier, he might be able to get aboard the train. Dickens also gives Marston the scoop on a set of Army deserters encamped at The Scratching Post that might lend him a uniform if he were to help them in some way.
5x6 - Mother Superior Blues
November 5, 2013
As Marston approaches Las Hermanas, he finds the Mother Superior being choked by one of the Undead at the train station there. She puts up a struggle before breaking free of the zombie and then manages to shoot it in the head, saving herself. Though the killing was self defense (and the person was already dead) the Mother Superior can't help but think that she's committed a mortal sin. John suggests she chalk it up to self defense. Reluctantly she accepts this shift in perspective, but begins worrying that the rest of the Nuns in Las Hermanas might not be able to cross the line as she, and implores John to help them by clearing the convent of the Undead.

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.
