==Synopsis==
With an old practice come back to light people weigh their options
==Episode==
We open in Penelope's apartment; the woman is behind a desk and filling a form while Penny sits opposite working on some homework. Just in the background we can see Toby bouncing in a little romper harness while playing with a rattle. 
Penelope: He's not bothering you is he sweetie?
Penny looks up and smiles 
Penny: No mom, its practical homework, wild life survival.
The woman nods; this is old hat now in the new world, still it doesn't hurt to test the basics.
Penelope: So what do you do to sterilise water?
Penny: Heat it up to a boil.
Her mother nods.
Penny: My turn.
Penelope: I'm sorry?
Penny: Well your testing me with my homework so why cant I test you?
The woman laughs and looks down at the paperwork; we can see its a voting registration form.
Penelope: Its not homework, its a registration form for voting.
Penny cocks her head thoughtfully at that.
Penny: Is their one for me and Toby?
Her mother chuckles; not just from the humour of the statement but, that they are both doing something so mundane; a few months ago she honestly didn't think she would in this situation. She wipes at her eyes
Penelope: Not till your a lot older.
Penny: Oh... ok... boring grown up stuff right?
Her mother smiles again.
Penelope: Yeh, that right, now finish your homework and then we'll go get dinner ok.
She nods again and we switch over to Karina and Nathan's apartment. Both are filling in their own forms quietly.
Nathan: Never thought I would be doing something like this again, I mean am I technically eligible?
Karina: Your asking the ex convict if your eligible to vote?
They both look at each other for a moment and chuckle both continuing to write. Nathan pauses for a moment, head tilting as if listening to someone. Karina watches for a moment, knowing he's having a talk with the "other" in his head. Nathan snorts with a little laugh before shaking his head and continuing to write. So different from before.
Karina: You know I though that doctor was cracked when she suggested you to start "talking" 
Nathan: Your not the only one but, she was right about one thing... better to have a devil at my side than breathing down my neck.
Karina: And what's on his mind about all this then?
Nathan: That play politics is just that, an act and a boring one at that.
Karina: He's salty over the fact that whoever gets in cant do anything about a proper shooting range?
Nathan: A little but hey walls or not we all need the practice.
Karina smiles again and we switch over to Cage on the job. We can see a building in the process of repair after the occupation. Cage is with several other men listening to the foreman.
Foreman: Ok now this place isn't gonna be open till four months after they get all this political stuff sorted but that does not give you an excuse to slack off.
He pints to a schematic on the board of the building along with blueprints of what they hope to build.
Foreman: The main structure is still good despite the walloping the building took but, we need to be certain so Hunter, you and a few of the boys are gonna be checking the north sector today.
Worker 1: Just how much we getting paid for this?
Cage smacks his head playfully.
Cage: Bud just get the job done right and worry about the pay later.... I hear their gonna put a pool hall in their to.
Bud: Oh so your finally gonna pay me back that ten bucks you owe me?
Everyone chuckled a bit and even the foreman smiles a bit before getting back to business.
Foreman: Ladies, save the banter for your hair dresser, right now we got work to do.
Everyone nods and gets about their business has we see a montage of the other survivors filling in the own forms and going about their daily lives. We end on Moe's apartment and watch him filling in a different form. We follow his eyes to the heading.
Candidate Application form.
All that is left is a signature and we fade to black with him signing it.
