== Plot ==
Ellie attempts to handle a new survivor without August while Scarab and Conrad spend some time on the road.
== Synopsis ==
Ellie is resting on the wall as Enrique is going off about taking command of the wall. She is ignoring him but he gets her attention when a stranger rides up on a motorcycle. The man gets off his bike and pleads for a place to rest. She agrees to speak with him and heads down to talk. Scarab and Conrad are on the road. Conrad is having a good time, humming and smiling. Scarab is not as jovial. The partnership is weird. Ellie speaks with the stranger, who introduces himself as William. Everything he says checks out but she isn’t completely comfortable with allowing him in so she requests he allow her to keep him in one of the cages until the other leaders can discuss. He agrees. She goes to retrieve Roger and discovers he’s hiding Taabi from Lexi. She has him go inspect their guest and he does so. While there, Lexi appears also and immediately gets flirty with him. Bill is confused but not completely opposed. Roger confirms he is healthy and starts to leave but Lexi pulls him aside to ask if he’s gone down to the Crypts for Taabi yet. He warns her that it is up to August. Conrad continues to make small talk with Scarab, to no avail. He questions if there is a method to her mission and she stops and basically tells him if they are alive, they can be helpful. He understands but is still skeptical. 
Enrique is watching over Bill and the biker begins to dig for some information on the group here as a whole. Particularly about the leadership here and mostly August, who he’s heard about a lot already, and asks when he’ll get to meet this “fearless leader”. Enrique is not helpful. Scarab and Conrad camp out for the night and Conrad suggests they go into the nearby convenient store for better shelter and heads in to make sure it’s clear. He comes across a Zed and his gun misfires, causing him to be bitten. Scarab kills the Zed and apologizes before checking to see if Conrad wants her to sever the limb. He allows is and she chops his arm off as the shoulder. He passes out from the pain. Roger is in the med-bay when he is approached by Santos. The man asks why there’s another man in a cage. Roger tells him it was Ellie’s decision and Santos leaves to speak with the newcomer. He immediately catches on that “Wild Bill” is a member of the Relics or at least, formally. Wild Bill doesn’t admit to anything but mentions he was traveling with two others that he got separated from. Santos acknowledges this and leaves. 
Conrad fades in and out of reality as he is being carried back by Scarab. 
Conrad is in will call for the Olympian Ski-And-Shoot team and has a bit of a rivalry with another member named Joel. They are stuck together once the apocalypse hits and he leaves his teammates behind when they start doing nefarious things to other surviving groups.
 Conrad in his delirium tries to sway Scarab to not compromise the group for morality like Joel did. The Zoo doesn’t need everyone, just the right ones. He requests she not let him turn as he dies. She makes sure he doesn’t and still throws him over her shoulder to return him home. The next morning, Roger gets up to do his morning routine and almost gets caught with Taabi by Lexi but he is quick enough to hide him. She brings him to Bill who is reasonably not happy. She wants him to let him out but Roger refuses and Bill is not having it anymore. Either someone has to let him out or he needs to speak with this August person. Roger understands and offers to go grab his tobacco from his bike. When he gets to the wall, Ellie sends him back inside for some undisclosed reason. When she looks back over to see Scarab rushing up with Conrad, she begins to tear as she calls August, overwhelmed. 
August has had a lengthy conversation with Karen and Frank. He asks Frank again if he could be civilized here and the man is still uncooperative. He gets the call from Ellie and sends Karen to bring Frank back to his “cell” and heads to the gate to see what the dilemma is. He sees Scarab placing Conrad down and he is absolutely shocked. Scarab begins shouting at him that this is exactly why she travels out there alone. She doesn’t even give them a chance to mourn before taking Conrad to the Gravesite and begins digging a hole. Ellie joins her. Roger walks up to August to warn him about their guest and his aggravation. He promises to come speak with him in a moment and calls Ellie over quickly. She states her theory about his power-plays and he counters that she could never understand what he’s been through and he tells her to call a meeting tomorrow to discuss things. Everyone. He goes to speak with Bill and they come to an understanding. He lets him out and is confident he could be a valuable member of their team. He even offers to help find the others he got separated from. He also warns him that if he compromises them at any point, he will not hesitate to put a bullet in him. Bill gets it and they place Franklin back in the cell. August plans to have another chat with the new member after the meeting tomorrow.
