Chapter 26

Chapter 26 is the fifth episode of Season 3: Long Road Ahead of The Walking Dead.
==Plot==
Hours later, the group is still shocked at having lost all of their supplies and their safety so quickly. Lilly tells Ben and Doug to be quiet and help her figure out how all of this had happened. Kenny tells Lilly that she's not making any sense when she states that someone in the RV had caused this, but Lilly brings up Lee's findings, something he confirms. Lilly then turns to Ben and menacingly asks if there was something he wanted to admit. Ben denies any prior involvement with the bandits, but Lilly ignores all protests and begins drawing her own conclusions based on her suspect's reaction. Doug tells her to give Ben some space and that everyone is on edge after what happened. Sandy gets involved and tells Lilly to calm down, but Lilly ultimately rejects anything other than a straight confession from the accused. Ben then says that he believes that there was nobody stealing anything, but Lilly only grows more suspicious of him. Katjaa asks everyone to calm down, but Lilly ignores her pleas. Lilly demands that Ben look her straight in the eyes and tell her he didn't do anything. Before Ben can look Lilly in her eyes and deny his involvement once again, Kenny crashes into a walker and pulls the RV to a halt. Lilly orders everyone out of the RV, demanding that they deal with the matter immediately.
Lilly is the first one out of the RV, scouring the environment and finding a walker trapped beneath the vehicle and caught up in its frame. Ben, Sandy, Lee, and Doug step out of the vehicle and join Lilly on the side of the road as Kenny goes to work on dealing with the trapped walker. Lilly then points to Ben and threatens to kick him out of the group, then asks for the others' opinions on what to do with him. Sandy grows frustrated with Lilly's rather cruel way of treating Ben and refuses to cooperate in the discussion on what to do with him. Lee begs Lilly once again to stop pointing fingers and to calm down, but she berates him and reminds him of what he found. Lilly demands Kenny's opinion, saying that he would be voting on behalf of Katjaa as well as himself, but Kenny tells her to let him finish the walker off first before getting involved. Ben begins to panic, pleading with Lilly to just trust him. He offers to do anything to stay with the group, but Lilly just sees this as a sign that he is guilty. Doug speaks up, calling for Lilly to stop threatening Ben, yet Lilly curtly tells him to shut up. When Kenny fails to offer his opinion again, Lilly demands Ben to confess his crime. Lee interrupts everyone and tells Lilly that he was the one who stole the supplies, but Lilly refuses to believe him, saying he wouldn't do it with Clementine in his life. Kenny finally manages to remove the walker from under the RV, crushing its head with his boot. Ben begs for Lilly to just let him back on the RV and end this discussion, but she denies him entry. Kenny comes over and asks what the problem was. "Ben!" Clementine screams as Lilly aims her gun at Ben. Doug quickly grabs Ben and pulls him away from Lilly, and a gunshot silences everyone. Doug falls to the ground, dead, horrifying everyone including Lilly. Breaking out of his stupor, Lee grabs Lilly and pins her to the wall of the RV, forcing her to drop her gun. Katjaa screams for Kenny, asking what had just happened. Kenny simply tells her to keep Duck away from the windows and orders Lee, Sandy, and Ben inside so they could leave her behind. Lilly asks for Lee's forgiveness and display remorse over Doug's death, claiming that it wasn't supposed to be him. Ben, huddled over the fresh corpse of his former friend, asks what they would do with Lilly. Kenny curtly says that they would leave her for the walkers. Sandy chimes in and agrees that Lilly should take her chances on the road for what she did. Lee softly begs for Lilly to tell him why she had just killed one of their own, and decides to let Lilly back on the RV, stating they would figure out what to do with her. Sandy believes it's a bad idea, calling Lilly a murderer in the process. Lilly also calls Lee a murderer, which provokes confusion from Kenny and Sandy. Lilly tells everyone about Lee's past and how he lied to them about it. Sandy is uncertain what to think or say, while Kenny is upset with Lee for not saying anything before. Regardless, Kenny wants to drop the conversation and move on. The survivors board the vehicle and leave the corpse behind. Lee ties Lilly's hands behind her back and entrusts Ben with Lilly's gun to watch her with.
Katjaa calls Lee up to the cabin of the RV, asking for a quiet conversation. Lee asks Kenny and Katjaa what was wrong, only for them to hesitantly glance at one another. Lee notices that Duck was entirely unconscious despite the loud argument and gunshot from before, and he asks if the boy was okay. Katjaa lifts his shirt ever so slightly to reveal a bite mark, Kenny explaining that it happened during the raid. Kenny insists that the plan does not change because of Duck's condition, finding strength in the hope that perhaps somebody in Savannah had already found a cure. Katjaa agrees, asking what else they could do otherwise. She asks Lee to explain what had happened to Clementine for them. Leaving the two parents alone, Lee sits down on a couch with Clementine, slowly embracing her. Lee solemnly informs her that Duck had been bitten by a walker while escaping the motel. Lee says he's glad he has Clementine with him, in an attempt to comfort her. Later, Lee suddenly turns his attention to a leaking sink faucet in the RV, it being the only noise in an otherwise quiet vehicle. Clementine softly groans beside him, only to spring to her feet and lunge at him with her teeth bared. Lee, shocked, barely manages to fend off her attack but eventually succumbs to her relentless strength. Just before she could bite him, he wakes up with a start. He looks at Clementine, who is asleep next to him. Lee sighs with relief and attempts to go back to sleep.
