===Season 1: A New Day===
===="Chapter 9"====
Lee and Sandy meet back up, not finding anything when they both hear sounds of shouting. Kenny meets up with them to go find the shouts. They enter the main office area and a man is struggling to fend off the walkers. "Get ready! We gotta help him!" Lee says to Sandy and Kenny. They begin stabbing and shooting some of the walkers. After the group clears out the room, the man thanks them and introduces himself as Mark. Mark reveals to them that he has been hiding out there, as he used to be a pilot there, and some of them had broken in and devoured some of his fellow co-workers. Lee offers to bring him back to the motor inn, which he gladly accepts. Kenny asks him about any food, water, or medicine that had been left over, adding that he took the ammo and a few of the guns left in the armory. Mark tells them that one of his friends, Gregory, was looking over it when they overran the building and is probably still in there. They find the kitchen where it was stored and find that Gregory has reanimated. As Lee holds up his pistol, Mark stops him, saying he has to do it. Mark goes over to him to put him down, but cannot do it. Before the reanimated Gregory has time to attack Mark, Sandy shoots him. After taking care of him, they pack up the food and water, along with some of the medicine that was being stuffed along with it, and head out. Back at the motor inn, Lilly is watching the area on top of the RV. Doug comes up to her and asks her if she sees them yet. Lilly replies that no one is near the area, at least as far as she can see. Clementine is sitting on the couch and looks over the fence. A few minutes later Lee, Sandy, Kenny, and Mark arrive at the motor inn. Larry is adamant upon seeing Mark saying they're putting everyone else at risk bringing back strangers. Sandy tells him off, saying that he's a good guy, and helped them bring back enough supplies to last them months. Lilly is impressed by the limit, and although hesitant, offers for Mark to stay with them.
===="Chapter 10"====
Lee, Larry, and Mark are clearing out one of the hotel rooms, bringing out a couch to make some space for Mark to use it as his bedroom. Larry complains about doing "most of the heavy lifting" while the two of them barely put any strength into it. Lee tells him that he's using more than he thinks, but Larry insists that he's lying, and hints that he lies about a lot of things. Mark questions Larry why he's being so hard on Lee, and Larry tells him that Lee is aware of why and storms off. Mark asks Lee about his history with Larry and what he had done to make Larry so angry. Lee, not wanting to tell him the truth, tells him that Larry just assumes the worst out of everyone, and not to think too much of it. Later on, Sandy sits against the curb lost in thought as everyone sits by the RV, eating their rations. Lee gets up and asks Sandy if she wanted to come sit with them and eat, but she declines and says she's not hungry. Lee sits next to her and asks her how she's doing, and Sandy confides in him that she's scared and angry. She goes on by telling him her story of her involvement with Meg's drug abuse in the past, and how she pulled her out of it by helping her get clean and getting a job. Sandy believes her parents are probably dead, and Meg is the only family she has left, and is scared of what might happen to her if she got as bad as she did before she intervened. Lee offers a comforting hand and tells her that she's not alone in anything anymore, and they'll help protect Meg along with her. Mark comes over with a bottle of water, and offers it to Sandy. He further adds that it's the least he could do for what she did for his friend when he couldn't. Sandy takes the bottle and thanks him, and then Lee for his words.
===Season 2: Starved For Help===
===="Chapter 11"====
The episode opens with Lee and Mark out in the woods attempting to hunt for some food. The two of them talk about things with Lilly and Kenny, they've been fighting constantly. Mark brings up Larry, who has especially been hard on Lee lately. Lee tells Mark that he thinks he's a threat to the group. Mark questions Lee about Sandy, asking how he thinks she's been doing lately, not wanting to ask her himself since she got mad the last time she was asked. Lee tells him that since she had to kill her sister, she's been going through a lot the past few months, but says she's been talking a bit more lately. Lee further adds that Sandy will recover with time and she's strong enough not to hurt herself. Along the way, they hear someone screaming and run to investigate. They find a group of people in desperate need of help; David Parker, who is caught in a bear trap and two teenagers struggling to get him out. Kenny arrives, and everyone frantically tries to decide what to do next. Soon enough, the walkers hear the screams, and the group is faced with the problem of how to free David. After checking the bear trap itself and finding out that it is been tampered with to not have a release latch, Lee takes the axe he has with him and tries to make a quick decision. After taking a couple of hacks at the chain, he realizes he will not be able to make it through the trap in time and tries to fall back on hacking off the leg; but Lee decides to make a hasty decision; cutting David's leg off. Ben Paul, one of the teenagers, freaks out and begs him not to do so, along with Travis and David himself. Mark fires at a few of the walkers to keep them back. Kenny tells Lee to hurry up and get it done. Lee picks up his axe and proceeds to cut David's leg off. He soon passes out from the pain and blood loss, and Mark picks him up and carries him, while Kenny fends off the walkers. During that, Ben follows them, while Travis is surprised by a walker, and is quickly devoured.
===="Chapter 12"====
After hearing noises coming across the street, Lilly is aiming around the area to see what is there. Suddenly, Lee appears from the bushes with Kenny, Ben, Mark, and David behind them. Lee orders Lilly to have them open the gate, saying they have wounded. "Shit! What the hell are they doing?" Lilly says. Larry opens the gate for them with crowded voices overlapping each other from the others. "Lee! What the hell? You can't just bring new people here! What were you thinking?" Lilly snaps at Lee. Kenny tells her to calm down, saying they had no choice. Kenny then asks Katjaa if she can fix David's leg up, but, she is unsure if she can. Clementine and Duck rush over to see, and Clementine questions Lee if he's okay. Kenny complains that Lilly is abusing her "de-facto" leader status and that they can make their own decisions. Larry interrupts saying that he agrees with Lilly, and Ben and David have to go. Mark tells Lilly that they should be allowed to stay, but Lilly reminds Mark that the only reason he was allowed to stay was that he had enough food for them. Sandy and Doug add in their two cents, saying that they should be given the chance to prove themselves before they decide to kick them out. Clementine drags Ben away from the chaos. Lee sides with Kenny on Lilly needing to give people a chance and to stop trying to tell everyone what to do all the time. After everything dies down, Lilly, fed up, brings Lee over to pick who to give the days rations to and walks away. Lee heads over to talk with Ben, who asks him how David is doing. Lee tells him that Katjaa will do everything she can for him, and questions his past. Ben reveals that he was at his high school for the most part of the outbreak, but it was overrun. Lee later goes to talk with Sandy, who is one of the people he gives some rations to. Sandy is reluctant on taking it, but, eventually accepts it. Lee then goes over to Clementine and also gives her some food too. Noticing her hat is missing, Lee asks her where it is, however, she does not remember and asks his help to find it, which he complies. Lee also feeds Duck, who is extremely ecstatic. He talks to Doug and offers him some food, but, he tells him to keep it for himself, adding that he can handle himself for the time being. He also adds it's another way to say thank you for saving him. Lee talks to many members of the group, giving his axe to Mark to help build the wall and fortify their position at the Travelier Motel. Sandy goes over to help Katjaa with the wounded leg on David, who says he's lost quite a lot of blood. Sandy believes that Lee and Kenny both did the right thing in bringing them back, and Katjaa agrees. Lee is shown talking to Kenny, who thinks they should leave the motor inn soon, and offers to let him and Clementine go with him and his family, saying that he's earned it. While there, Lee offers Kenny the last piece of rations for the day to him, which he accepts after learning that Duck had gotten to eat as well. After deciding where all the food is going to end up, Katjaa calls Lee and Kenny over. She tells them that that, unfortunately, David passed away from blood loss. Kenny angrily walks away to go work on the RV, leaving Lee talking with Katjaa about Ben. Before he can answer her question about him, David reanimates and attacks Katjaa. Lee saves Katjaa and then struggles with the zombie himself for a bit. Mark rushes over to kill David with the axe but misses and gets it stuck in the window of the truck. After a short struggle, Sandy shoots the zombified David in the head.
===="Chapter 13"====
David Parker was swiftly killed by Sandy after reanimating and almost biting Lee and Katjaa. Ben is shocked and exclaims that he was not bitten before he died, showing that Ben is unaware that you change no matter what happens. Lee tells him that you change even if you do not receive a bite, which Ben is shocked by. Suddenly, Sandy yells "Back off!" to someone outside the fence, while aiming her gun at them. One man tries to calm her down and say that he and his brother just want gas and they'll be on their way. Lilly tells Sandy to disarm her weapon, and Lee tells the two men they don't want any trouble. The tall man replies that they don't want trouble either, just gas for their generators, and they reveal that they live on a dairy through the woods and up the pathway. The small one asks them how they're doing on food, and tells them they have plenty of food at the dairy. Kenny whispers to Lee and Lilly that it might be a good idea to give them some gas in exchange for some food. Both agree with him, and Lilly tells them they'll bring some gas with them to take to the dairy, and a small group to make sure they aren't lying. The man agrees and introduces himself as Andrew St. John, and his brother Danny St. John. Lee asks Clementine what she thinks they should do for a last vote, and she tells him that she's really hungry. Sandy volunteers to go with Lee to the dairy, saying she has his back if anything goes south. Doug also volunteers to go along, as well as Ben and Mark. Lee, Sandy, Doug, Mark, and Ben follow Andy and Danny to the dairy and share their stories while walking. The brothers reveal they run the St. John dairy along with their mother, and that it's only the three of them right now. Lee talks with Sandy about how she's been doing, which slightly annoys Sandy. She goes on by saying that every time someone asks her that, they have a look on their face like it means they want to know if she's suicidal. Sandy confirms that she's not, and is just grieving for her sister. Sandy tells Lee not to worry about her, and says she's getting better with the passing time, and that she has a purpose still. Lee says he wants her to know that everyone cares about her and is glad to hear that she's alright. Andy and Danny ask Lee where he is from, and how many people they have at the motor inn, and they all hear screaming and yelling coming from across the trees. Two men are arguing with each other. Ben reveals that those men are the same men who raided his camp. Andy reveals they're a bunch of bandits from "Save-Lots" a supermarket near the area. Sandy believes they could take them since there are only two of them, but Danny tells her that there are a lot more of them. The first bandit then savagely kills the second one and leaves. "World out here has gone to shit." Andy says, and they continue along the path.
===="Chapter 14"====
Meanwhile, Lee, Sandy, Doug, Mark, and Ben have arrived to the St. John dairy with Andy and Danny. Danny shows them the electric fence around the house to protect them against the walkers. At the dairy farm, the group meets Andrew and Danny's mother, Brenda St. John. She welcomes the group and gives them a basket of fresh biscuits. When hearing Brenda say the St. John's last cow isn't doing too well, Mark immediately says that they have a veterinarian within the group and that everyone is extremely hungry, and would be willing to help if they could bring their whole group out for the day. Brenda says they should bring the whole group over to the farm and have a big dinner. They agree, and Doug volunteers to head back to round everyone for the trip back. Mark suggests that he take Ben with him in case anything happens, and the two of them leave with the basket of food. Lee, Sandy, and Mark discuss how they should play it with the St. Johns. Sandy believes they should take a look around the farm itself before deciding if everyone should be brought out or not. Lee agrees with her plan, and says that the fence itself could be dangerous for the kids. The three of them break off to explore the farm. Upon seeing a broken swing, Lee decides he wants to try and fix it for the kids. Sandy sees him and offers to help him. She goes to find some rope and board for him to use. While looking for the rope, Sandy notices a bunch of certificates for the dairy, and Andy comes up from behind her to explain what they were. He tells her that their dad, Terry, built the farm up all by himself. After this, Sandy returns to Lee to fix the swing. Lee asks her what she thinks of the farm. Sandy tells him that she's not entirely sure what to think, and also says she feels like something is "off," but she can't place what it could be. Soon after, Andy calls the trio over and asks them if they could go out around the farmhouse to check on the fences, making sure that they are all working correctly, which they comply to do so.
===="Chapter 15"====
Lee, Sandy, and Mark walk along the fence pushing, and in some causes, chopping, the dead off of the electrical wire on the fence. Mark notes to the two about how great this place will be once it's all made sure it is safe. Sandy is doubtful of it since it's too valuable and people will want to take it. Mark then says they have enough firepower to protect it, and they could use the upstairs in the house as a guard tower, also adding that Sandy herself could keep them safe with her sharpshooting skills. Lee is undeciding of both, and just wants to make sure if the farm itself is as safe as the St. John's claim it is. They then stumble along a couple of posts that are knocked down. Lee, Sandy, and Mark hop over the fence and set the posts back up to their correct positions. At that moment, the fence turns on, leaving the three survivors outside of the farm. As Mark begins to question why Andy turned the fences on, he is struck in the shoulder by a crossbow bolt. Bandits, who claim to have been cheated of food, open fire with their crossbows, while Sandy, Mark, and Lee hide behind a tractor. Lee suggests using the tractor as protection to get to the gate and both he and Sandy remove the bars to move it. The tractor is free to move and the three use it as mobile cover until they reach the gate. They run for the farmhouse, and the bandits back off. They run into Andy and Danny in front of the house, and Sandy begins to berate Andy for turning the fence on. Andy apologizes and says he thought he heard them give the "all clear" to turn it on. Brenda comes outside to check on Mark and his shoulder. The motel group arrives and sees the mess, and Lilly believes the farm is unsafe. Andrew states that the bandits and St. John's had a deal and that as long as they provided food, the bandits would leave the farm alone. He says that the bandits have broken the truce and that Lee and Danny should try and find where the bandits are sleeping. Brenda tells Mark to come inside the house so she could help patch him up, and Katjaa goes with her to help out.
===="Chapter 16"====
Back at the farm, Lilly is talking with Kenny about how dangerous the farm is and wants to leave as soon as Lee gets back. Kenny argues with her that they have food, and the fence to protect them, and wants Katjaa and Duck to have an easier life there. Larry interrupts him, saying that the group will decide on leaving anyway. To get away from the pair, Kenny goes into the barn to explore, when he sees Andy coming out from the door across the barn. Kenny asks him what was in there, and Andy tries to change the subject by averting his attention to Clementine who is on the swing outside. Inside the house, Mark is being tended to by Brenda and Katjaa. Brenda talks with Katjaa about the medicine they've stored up over the past few months, but she can only do so much with it and thanks Katjaa for her expertise. Mark thanks Katjaa and tells her that she should go take a look at the cow in the barn. Sandy looks around the barn and notices some bloody clothes in a wastebasket. She goes up to Kenny, who is watching Clementine and Duck playing with the swing, and tells him of what she found. Kenny then tells her about the door and what he saw and wonders if she was right about something being odd about the place. Sandy tells Kenny that they need to let Lee know once he gets back and try to find a way to look in there.
===="Chapter 18"====
Upon arriving inside the house, Sandy looks at a barricaded wall and Andrew exclaims that a lone walker got into the house awhile ago and that the hallway is barricaded from that incident. Everyone gathers around the table for dinner. Noticing Mark is absent from the table, Sandy asks Brenda where he's at, and she tells her that he's upstairs eating his meal. Lee looks over at Sandy, who gives him an uneasy look and then looks back towards the stairs, believing something is wrong. With everybody at the dinner table waiting, Lee asks where the bathroom is. Brenda exclaims that it is down the hall. As Lee leaves the dining room, Sandy notices a gun tucked in Andrew's pocket. Lilly compliments Brenda on the dinner and says it looks good. Duck wants to start eating, but Katjaa tells him that it's polite to wait for everyone to be at the table. Kenny says that if Lee takes too long in the bathroom, they could just go ahead and nibble a little. Sandy sits down and looks at the meat on the table, before turning around to see Lee about to sneak up the stairs. Lee goes upstairs and finds many unusual items, such as a bottle of morphine and bloodstains on the floor in the closet. He turns on a power switch while inside the closet, which lights up a room connected to the bedroom. Lee enters the bedroom and sees that Mark is nowhere to be found, and sees a light shining out from below the bookcase. He moves it and sees a door behind it, and opens it. To his shock, he finds Mark with his legs cut off and blood on his entire body. Lee asks Mark what happened and Mark weakly replies that the brothers skinned his legs and that is what they are having for dinner. "Lee, did you fall in? Dinners on the table and everyone is havin' at it!" Brenda yells out. Lee rushes down into the dining room and sees everybody about to eat. Lee yells at Clementine to not take a single bite, much to the confusion of the others. Lee tells them that the farm is a human slaughterhouse and that Mark is upstairs, legless. Larry argues with Lee to sit down, claiming that he's being rude. Everyone begins to act uneasy, while Danny claims that everything could have turned out well for everyone. Not denying it, Brenda claims that while growing up in rural Georgia, they were taught to not waste a thing. Andrew exclaims that Mark would have died anyway, and they only go after people who were going to end up dead. "Like y'all." Danny says. Lee tells Sandy to grab her a knife, but Andrew and Danny pull their guns out and order Sandy to put down the knife. Through the confusion, Andrew grabs Clementine by her hair to taunt Lee. At this moment, Mark falls down the stairs and crawls all the way to the dinner table, begging for help. Danny then hits Lee with the butt of his rifle, causing him to blackout. Lilly and Kenny threaten all of the St. Johns for what they've done, and they order them to go outside. Brenda says she'll stay in the house for now and watch Lee in case he wakes up. Sandy attempts to fight back, but Andrew punches her in the face and tells her if she makes another move he'll shoot her. As Andrew and Danny escort everyone out of the house, Andrew stops Katjaa and tells Brenda to keep her in the house as well as Duck. Kenny lashes out and attempts to get to his family, but Danny fires a warning shot by Kenny's feet and tells him to keep moving.
===="Chapter 20"====
He then enters the house and finds Brenda holding Katjaa hostage. He asks her questions, why it came to eating other human beings to survive, what would her husband think, and she backs up pleading him to stop reminding her while holding the gun to Katjaa's head. Lee keeps walking slowly to her, seeing Mark, now a walker, upstairs, struggling with the railing. Brenda ends up walking back into Mark's outstretched arms, in which he pulls her towards him and takes a bite out of her shoulder.
