"I'll tell you about her sometime." Which is more than he's offered anyone else, really. But 'Teddy' here has a good reason to know, an artificial history in his head. Murphy would like to think that history reflects how he would have been as a father, a single father even; Lucy's mother had also died after childbirth.

Only he can't recall how Teddy lost his. He can recall that Serena was eaten by the very zombies that came to celebrate her birth. No one could have known at the time that they were attracted to the child far more strongly than the zombies would listen to Murphy's whims.

"Yeah, I've seen Warren all greased up. She'd just ditch the clothes when she found some new ones, no matter how much she liked 'em." Not that she did that often, though. Just eventually there was some kind of changed.

But the conversation is ended by the hell monster crawling up, and Murphy, barely thinking about it, creates a platform to run up so he's above the thing.
