During the trip, Alicia manages to get someone on the radio and talks a bot named Jack, Chris is still angry and grief stricken that Travis shot Liza despite holding a burial at sea for her, and Daniel begins to question Strand’s motives.

While the family is surviving, Nick stumbles upon pills meant for suicide. George’s wife requests that they take her two youngest children with them since George and eldest son Seth are set in their way of thinking. George is not easily swayed until his wife is killed by a now infected child who ingested a pill too soon. The group attempt to fell, but Seth, at gunpoint forces them to return his little brother.

Luciana explains that those who are infected or terminally ill sacrifice themselves to help build the "Wall", a barrier of walkers meant to protect the community from threats. Nick then accompanies Luciana on a supply run to a nearby supermarket, which is controlled by an armed gang. Nick manages to bargain for more supplies by threatening to cut off the supply of medicine the community has been trading with the gang. Luciana scolds Nick for his recklessness, as now the gang will be interested in finding out where her community is. Alejandro explains to Nick that he keeps the community together by preaching that the undead plague is merely a test from God.

==Trivia==
*Below are the changes made to the main cast in this season:
**Colman Domingo (Victor Strand) has been upgraded to series regular after recurring appearances.
**Michelle Ang (Alex) is listed as a series regular for her first appearance this season.

*There was been a short time jump between Season 1 and Season 2, consisting of a day or two at the very most."There's too much emotional weight coming off of the finale and the loss of Liza and Griselda. We didn't want to jump too far because there's an obligation to see the aftermath of that and see how that impacts our characters as they try to wrestle with it."
