Chapter 95

Chapter 95 is the fourth episode of Season 8: Fear The Stalkers of The Walking Dead.
==Plot==
By morning, the group continues on their way through the forest towards the shelter. Kenny, still bickering with Arvo, unknowingly walks past a walker lying dormant behind a rock, which gets up and attempts to attack him, sending both the walker and Kenny to the ground. Paige shoots the walker dead and saves Kenny, and Ryder expresses concern over the noise of the gunshot and the potential of drawing more walkers to their location. Luke says they should get moving, and not wait around to find out. Omid asks Arvo how much longer until they find his shelter, and Arvo tells him that it's not much further. After a short walk, Arvo leads them to the church. The church itself stands at the other end of a frozen lake, which the group is initially apprehensive to cross. Realizing that there are no nearby crossings, and at the insistence of Arvo that the ice is thick enough for them to cross over, the group decides to cross the lake, with Arvo volunteering to take the lead. Javier believes that it's pretty risky, citing the possible dangers if one of them falls through the ice. Sandy says that going across may be their only option, and suggests not huddling together, so it will be safer. Mahiru points out not to step on any dark spots in the ice, as it means it is thinner than the rest. Kenny and Javier go on ahead first with Arvo leading, with Javier holding onto AJ. Clementine and Sarah shortly follow them, with Sandy, Omid, Mahiru, and Ryder behind them. Luke and Paige then start making their way across. Soon after, a small group of walkers appears behind them, presumably drawn from the sound of the earlier gunshot, and the group notices them as they also begin to tread across the lake. As clusters of walkers begin to fall through the ice, the group pauses in panic. Arvo, seeing an opportunity while the group is distracted, begins to desperately run towards land, while an angered Kenny follows suit. Javier, noticing the scuffle, chases after the two, believing Kenny will hurt him. Arvo crosses a weak spot and plunges into the icy water, struggling to get back out. Kenny catches up to him and pulls him out, and the two, along with Javier holding the baby, make it to the other side.
The remainder of the group, seeing that the rest have made it safely across, begin to continue along the ice. Clementine stays behind and urges Sarah to keep going while trying to make sure everyone else gets across safely. Omid and Mahiru make it past some of the uncertain patches of ice and soon join the rest on land. Clementine waits for everyone else to catch up and Sandy tells her she needs to go ahead and get across. However, they both hear the sound of ice cracking behind them, and turn to see Luke standing over a severely cracked patch of ice. Frozen in fear, Luke looks up at the two of them. Paige and Ryder carefully walk back over to try and guide Luke. Luke says he can make it and he just needs to go slow. Paige warns him of his leg and that he needs help and attempts to walk over to him until he tells her to stay back. After moving too swiftly, the ice begins to break, sending Luke's injured leg into the water. Paige, now excessively worried, calls out to him, but Luke continues to insist that he can pull himself out of the water. Sandy alerts them that the walkers are getting closer and that they need shoot the ones getting too close. Luke tries to pull his leg out slowly while Paige makes her way toward him. Ryder tells Paige that they need to wait and too much pressure on the ice will cause it to collapse, however, Paige tells him that she can't just stand there and not do anything. Sandy slowly makes her way closer to them as well, saying that in case something happens, they'll have to be close and act fast. Ryder pleads with her to be careful. Once Paige finally reaches Luke, the ice gives way and both of them fall into the freezing water. Sandy rushes over to the cracked ice to try and pull them both out, managing to grab Luke's hand. Ryder makes his way over and helps Sandy grab Luke, while Clementine continues to shoot the walkers. Luke lets go and says he needs to find Paige before diving under the water. Sandy attempts to go in the water as well to help, but Ryder holds her back. Luke comes back up from the water with Paige, and the two of them pull them back up. Sandy yells from across the lake to the others to get in that church and start a fire quickly, before Luke and Paige freeze to death.
