===="Chapter 99"====
Everyone sits inside the church, eating and taking a moment for themselves after the death of Sarah. Clementine sits by herself, visibly upset over what she had to do. Luke goes over to Clementine to make small talk with her in an attempt to comfort her. Luke proceeds to express heavy guilt regarding the rest of the cabin survivors, expressing disbelief that he is the only one left, and believing that the others had died in vain. He insists that he could have done more for the group, and has to live with his decisions, and sympathizes that she also has to do the same with her own. Luke tells Clementine he doesn't blame her for what she did and knows it had to be done, and also apologizes for antagonizing her over the decision. Clementine says that Sarah was her friend, but she knew she was a threat to everyone the way she was. Javier questions if they should have buried Arvo as they did with Sarah, but Omid believes it would be a waste of energy for everyone and they should only bury the people they cared about. Javier sympathizes with Arvo's situation, however, Paige reminds him that he would have robbed them blind had they not fought back. Mahiru, while feeding AJ baby formula, agrees with her, adding that Arvo was not one of them, but Sarah was. Ryder notices that Kenny is still outside working on the van and questions whether or not they should get him to join them for a minute, but Sandy says the van is all he has on his mind right now. Outside, Kenny tinkers with the van's engine trying to get it to start up. Kenny enters the driver's seat to ignite the engine, and to his excitement, the car starts up. As Kenny exits the car, a walker emerges from behind the truck to attack him, along with several other walkers making their way out of the woods. Everyone rushes outside due to the sound of the engine starting and noticing the walkers. Paige urges everyone not to use guns to prevent any stragglers from showing up. Luke tells Clementine to wait inside and everyone starts taking out the walkers. Kenny wonders if they were part of the herd chasing them earlier. As Ryder takes out a walker, another stumbles upon him and pulls him down, causing him to scream. Everyone rushes to Ryder, and as Mahiru dispatches the walker, he informs them that he wasn't bitten, but it had ripped his shirt. Sandy playfully states that he should be more careful. Ryder returns her playful comment that he was too distracted by her to notice. Kenny quickly returns to the van and turns the engine off and excitedly tells everyone to get their stuff so they can start driving. Mahiru asks Kenny if they could instead stay the rest of the night, mentioning that he should get some sleep himself. Kenny is hesitant about the suggestion, saying that the van is their only chance of getting to Richmond. Sandy debates how long it's been since Kenny actually has gotten sleep since Howe's and insists they just sleep for the rest of the night, noting that he can take the keys to the van inside with him in case he gets paranoid about something happening to it. Omid then makes a reference to when their boat was stolen and leaving it unattended and wonders if they should take that chance again. Sandy flippantly says that unless cancer patients show up out of the woods that know how to hotwire a vehicle, it should be fine. Kenny ultimately decides he'll agree to rest, but urges everyone to be up bright and early to get going. Everyone goes back inside to sleep, except for Clementine, who cries over executing Sarah. Ryder wakes up and quietly gets up to avoid waking Sandy and goes outside. Ryder continues on into the woods and stops to lean against a tree and watch the stars. Ryder is then suddenly knocked unconscious by someone and is dragged away. Ryder wakes up and sees blurry faces and a fire. "We were wondering when you would finally wake up," a man says to Ryder. He introduces himself as Charlie, the leader of his group he calls "The Stalkers." He jokes and says that he knows the name is unoriginal, but it works for them. They have Ryder tied to a pole. Charlie tells Ryder that the world is an ugly place now and people have to do ugly things to survive. He says he just hopes Ryder understands that nothing is personal and they would have captured anyone. Charlie says that at the end of the day no matter how much they hate all this ugly business, a man's gotta eat. Ryder is then shown to be missing his left leg, amputated about at the knee. He begins panicking out of shock. Charlie takes a bite of Ryder's cooked leg right in front of him. "If it makes you feel any better, you taste much better than we thought you would," Charlie says. The Stalkers feast on Ryder's leg, now roasting on a spit.
===="Chapter 100"====
As Charlie continues to calmly speak to Ryder, while the rest of the Stalkers continue feasting on Ryder's cooked leg. Ryder becomes more and more visibly distressed. Charlie talks about the tastes of different humans and how women usually taste much better but were unable to get one of the women at the time. Finally, Ryder begins chuckling, then breaks into a laugh as Charlie tries to chastise him for not listening. The rest of the group comes over, with Shelia commenting that Ryder has "lost it". Ryder then calls them a bunch of idiots. Charlie says that there's no need to sink to insults; they can still be civil about this whole thing, honestly believing he isn't crazy. Ryder asks if they think he's stupid, and why he would go into the forest alone. Ryder pulls his shirt down, revealing a bite wound on his shoulder, and laughing as he explains that he has been bitten and is, therefore "tainted meat". As the members of his group react in horror and vomit, Charlie angrily kicks Ryder into unconsciousness, while explaining that they will be fine - because they "cooked him". Greg frantically wants to cut his own tongue out, but Theo says it's useless and doesn't make sense. He says that you can't cut out your stomach. John agrees with Charlie that the meat isn't infected because they cooked it. Darius then asks what they should do with Ryder. Kenny goes outside to check on the van to make sure the engine is still ready to go and to sit and contemplate things. Sandy immediately runs outside with a frantic look on her face as she walks around searching for something. Sandy then yells out Ryder's name, which awakens everyone else in the church. Kenny exits the van and asks her what's going on, and she frantically reveals that Ryder is missing and she can't find him. Paige and Mahiru are stunned and equally worried over Ryder's disappearance. Javier asks Sandy if she remembers Ryder getting up during the night at all, but, she doesn't. They start to immediately search the area for Ryder. Sandy runs into the forest, screaming Ryder's name. Javier attempts to stop her, but, it's in vain. Kenny suggests they should follow Sandy and search the woods, asking Omid and Clementine to stay behind and watch over the van and AJ. As everyone searches the woods, Sandy continuously calls out Ryder's name. Luke tells her that they'll find him and suggests maybe he went to urinate and a few walkers made him run in a different direction. Sandy says she knew this was going to happen and wishes she never had agreed to enter a relationship with him. Luke is confused by what she means, and she tells him that he made her care about him and now she feels completely helpless. Paige and Mahiru overhear and Mahiru tells Sandy that Ryder liked her a lot and she shouldn't feel guilty for wanting to experience a connection. Paige tells Mahiru not to say "liked" in the past tense, saying that she doesn't believe Ryder is dead and knows they'll find him. Omid and Clementine stand outside the church close to the van and look around in case Ryder shows back up. Omid asks Clementine if she's alright, after what happened with Sarah. Clementine says yes, and goes silent. Omid notices her hesitance talking to him, and asks her if she's not comfortable around him anymore. Clementine tells him that she knows he doesn't really like her so she's just trying not to talk to him much. Omid says that he doesn't dislike her and for a long time, he blamed her for what happened to Christa but recently realized that his contempt and anger were misguided. Omid tells her that he isn't mad at her anymore and apologizes to her for being cold and for blaming her. Clementine, however, says it was her fault and Christa wouldn't be dead if she didn't leave her gun behind on the bathroom sink. Omid points out she was just a kid, and still is a kid now, and he believes that the bandit would have found a way to hurt Christa or someone else regardless. Omid pats her head and says he just wanted her to know that and tells her she should go inside to get by the fire and he'll stay on watch. Several hours pass and everyone returns to the church, unable to locate Ryder. Kenny believes that if Ryder doesn't show up soon, they may have to leave, which angers Sandy, who goes outside for some air. Paige and Mahiru argue with Kenny that they can't leave him behind, and Kenny says he doesn't want to leave Ryder behind either, but is trying to think about the baby and reminds everyone that they're running out of formula. Outside, Sandy hears something. She calls out for Ryder, but, he isn't there, but, she suspects that they're being watched and goes inside to tell everyone. Luke asks if it was a walker, but, Sandy says walkers don't run. Everyone then hears a loud whistle from outside. Javier looks out the window and says someone has been left lying on the ground. Kenny, Luke, and Javier rush out to discover Ryder laying on the ground, missing his leg. Sandy rushes out, demanding to see him, but Luke holds her back. Sandy punches Luke in the face to get to Ryder and is horrified to see him missing his leg. The Stalkers fire a gunshot at them, and Kenny blindly starts shooting into the trees, telling everyone to get Ryder inside quickly. Inside the church, Ryder regains consciousness and reveals that the survivors that took him call themselves "The Stalkers" and are responsible for his missing leg. However, he can only provide vague details on their location. Sandy asks Paige if they have anything that might ease his pain, but Ryder tells them not to waste any medical supplies on him, and he reveals his bite to the group. Sandy asks him why he didn't tell her or anyone else, and he says he didn't want her to have to see him turn. After processing this information, Omid suggests taking Ryder to the couch in the backroom to rest on, asking for Javier to help him carry Ryder in there. Paige looks out the window to look for the rest of the Stalkers and notices that they only fired one shot toward the church. Luke asks her why that information matters, and she says that they're toying with them and they aren't going to kill them, otherwise they lose what they're after; food. Kenny then says he has an idea, one that they'll definitely fall for, adding that they "fucked with the wrong people."
===="Chapter 101"====
Under the cover of night, Sandy, Kenny, Paige, Mahiru, and Javier leave the church to go into the woods toward the campsite where the Stalkers had taken Ryder. As they disappear into the woods, the Stalkers appear, arriving at the church from a different route, and break in. As they search the church, Charlie asks the group to come out, revealing that he knows that most of their members left with most of their guns to search for them. When they don't comply, he calls for the little girl, Clementine, saying that if she reveals herself and the group, they will spare her, and even let her leave with the baby, AJ. Omid and Luke hide with Clementine and AJ in another room with their guns pointed towards the door. As they search, AJ begins crying and gives away the group's location. Charlie and the rest of the Stalkers give the survivors one last chance to come out before they break down the door, and, when no one replies, orders the Stalkers to force their way in. Greg approaches the door, laughing about how easy this is, but is shot in the head before he can break open the door. The Stalkers turn around as Kenny appears from the shadows with a gun in his hand and orders them to drop their weapons. Charlie begins to panic and tries to get Kenny to back down by threatening the rest of the group. Kenny threatens that he's not here alone. Charlie calls her bluff and points at the door and his finger is shot off by Sandy. Charlie falls to his knees and tells the rest of the Stalkers to do as Kenny says. All of them except Darius kneel, who insists they haven't been beaten. Sandy steps out of the shadows and puts her rifle to Darius' head, and orders him to get down, which Darius does. Paige, Mahiru, and Javier appear from the shadows and hold the other Stalkers at gunpoint. Kenny then walks to Charlie, who tries to tell him that they used to be good people, but had to change in order to survive and they never took pleasure in killing and eating people and tries to convince Kenny to let them go. Kenny grabs a knife from his pocket and tells him that it's too dangerous for them to let them leave and then proceeds to slash Charlie's chest with it, who screams in agony as Kenny, Sandy, Paige, Mahiru, and Javier hack and bludgeon the Stalkers to death. When it is all over, Luke and Clementine open the door and survey the carnage, and Clementine asks Kenny if he's sure that this was all of them. Paige counts the six of them and mentions that Ryder said there were only six. Mahiru then coldly states they should "clean up this mess." After throwing the bodies out, everyone says their goodbyes to Ryder who is getting sicker from his bite. Ryder thanks Paige and Mahiru for showing him that good people still exist in the world and he apologizes to Sandy for not revealing his bite before, stating he wanted to keep her from witnessing it after promising her their relationship would last a while. Everyone decides to leave the room and let Sandy and Ryder have their space. Luke comments how they're here again, the never ending cycle of death. Omid states they couldn't have done anything to prevent any of it. Paige suggests they get a few more hours of sleep before daylight comes. During the night, Ryder passes away, and Sandy begins to cry. Kenny is then awakened by the sound of a gunshot. When he realizes what had happened, he sits to think about it. In the morning, everyone has gathered to bury Ryder and to pay respects to him. Afterward, everyone, except Sandy, loads up the van with the remaining supplies they have left. Sandy continues to stand by Ryder's grave, while Mahiru asks Paige if she thinks joining this group was worth it. Paige believes it was worth it, hinting at the possibility of being on the wrong side of Carver's community or something worse befalling them had not they joined up with the group. Mahiru disregards her previous question and explains she's just feeling guilty over Ryder's death. Kenny gets in the van and starts the engine, asking everyone if they're ready to go. Sandy apologizes to Ryder and leaves his lighter on top of his grave before walking to the van. Once everyone is in, Kenny drives off, hopeful of what lies before them.
