==Episode==
We open the episode to the sound of a school bell ringing and see a sight long missing in this world; a school up in full swing. Children are on their way in and we see Penny walking up the path with her mother and little brother toddling after them both.
Penelope: Remebered your lunch>
Penny: Yeh and my homework.
She smiles wirily, the idea of school is so alien to the girl now; give her the wild and walkers any day.
Penelope: And here.
She hands her daughter a permission slip and her face lights up.
Penny: Yes... thanks mom.
Penelope: Hey, just because your back in school doesn't mean you should forget the essentials.
We see the form is a permission slip for an after school class for survival skills and how to deal with walkers. A sign of the new and old world melding together.
Penelope: I'll swing by at four to pick you up....
She bends down to pick up the tot 
Penelope: Say by to your sister Toby.
The tot gurgles softly in her arms and squeals when his sister tickles his cheeks.
Toby: Pe, pe, 
He squeals again and both smile has she heads in. Penelope looks down at the tot.
Penelope: Come on you we have an appointment with the swing set in the park.
She tickles his cheeks and we transission to Karina running in the park in a jogging suit; she is fully healed now and looking better than ever. She weaves through the people while checking her pulse. She comes to a stop, breathing heavily and a water bottle comes into view; she looks up smiling.
Karina: You were supposed to be keeping my time.
We see Nathan sitting there with the offered bottle.
Nathan: What, I am more than capable of doing both even with my "handicap" 
The both chuckle and he pulls her into an affectionate hug; its clear thing have really been improving for them both in the past few weeks. Karina has lost the awkwardness from the near miss on the road and Nathan is feeling more open with her. She nuzzles next to him and they watch the world go by. 
Karina: You know we could skip your session today.... have a little alone time.
Nathan: What do you have in mind.
She looks at him, with that smirk its hard to tell whose in control but she smirks 
Karina: I'll leave to your imaginations.
She is about to get up when he grabs her hand.
Other Nathan: What gave it away?
His voice is playful and wanting, not to malicious but, a little irked she worked it out. Karina just smiles, leaning in to whisper in his ear and he grins, pulling her into a kiss that she docent resist this time around. They both come up for air and Nathan is back.
Nathan: Well if this is a taste I think I can wait for tonight.
They both laugh and we we switch into a montage of the survivors going through their day and all is well. We see Slade giving a performance at the Hangman's Club to rapt applause. Adam is working in an office with James on various bits of tech, in the background we can make out a dismantled weapon from the previous season. Its clear they are suding the nature of the weapon to turn it into something more positive.
Elsewhere Amy is eating lunch in the Hospital gardens and talking with Tobias who has popped by to visit. This is followed by Cage going over blueprint for a new building and we finally end with a glass clinking.
Tamera: Here's to a bright future.
We see her raising a glass in Moe's apartment. The group is together and having a get together All are happy and well. Moe is sitting in thought while watching Tamera give the speech.
Slade: Way to state the obvious.
Everyone laughs.
Tamera: Hey I'm not usually the one giving speeches to this group.
Eyes turn to Moe who just smiles
Moe: Your doing well my dear and sometimes short and sweet and to the point is for the best, espesially when it speaks the truth.
Tobias: Tactful as ever.
Slade: Nah, I think he read that on a fortune cookie.
Everyone laughs happily again and its clear things are finaly in the right for our group and we fade to black.
