===Season 1: A New Day===
===="Chapter 2"====
In Macon, Sandy and Meg sneak around the outside attempting to collect items for survival when they see a drugstore. A zombie stands in the way of the alley they are hiding behind and Meg tells Sandy to try shooting it, but Sandy tells her that the noise seems to attract more, and instead pulls out her knife to dispatch the zombie. As they draw closer to the drugstore, they see a figure inside quickly duck down. Sandy whispers to Meg that they should go around and try to sneak in. Once the two enter the back door, they see two people at the front by the window whispering to each other. Sandy pulls out her gun to prepare herself, when a woman reveals herself from the shadows with a gun herself. She tells Sandy to drop the gun, which she does. Meg pleads with the woman that they aren't bad people, but just looking for supplies to survive and they already had been assaulted by another person earlier. A gruff looking man, tells the woman, Lilly, that they're lying and to shoot them. But another woman tells him off, and asks Lilly to lower her gun to hear them out. Another man asks the same, and Lilly decides to lower her gun. Lilly introduces herself, her dad Larry, the woman as Carley, the man as Doug, and a third man as Jackson. Jackson's eyes widen as he looks at Meg and calls her name. Meg smiles and runs to him to embrace him in a hug. Sandy questions Meg on how she knows him, and Meg explains that she and Jackson are old friends who met on the street back when she was doing drugs. Jackson tells her that he got himself sobered up right as everything bad happened, which she reveals she has also cleaned herself up. Sandy introduces herself to everyone. Lilly tells Sandy that she and her dad came across the three of them trying to get into the drugstore like her and Meg, and apologizes to her for threatening them, adding they can't afford to take very many chances. Larry bellows that he still doesn't trust the two girls, and they should throw them out. Jackson speaks up and tells Larry that he knows Meg very well, and if she and her sister are who they say they are. Sandy looks out the window and asks just how bad everything has gotten. Lilly tells her that the army hasn't rolled in yet, but discusses the dropping population in town and the increase in the "walkers". Meg likes the name for them, and says her name for them wasn't as good.
===="Chapter 3"====
The episode begins with Lee, Clementine, Kenny, Katjaa, and Duck driving through downtown Macon, and stop the car. "We better look around." Kenny says to Lee. They exit the car and begin to walk down the streets. Lee looks up at the drugstore, which is called "Everett Pharmacy," and frowns. Duck alerts the group of someone by a car. Kenny yells for him and says their truck is out of gas. This person is revealed to be a walker. In the pharmacy, Jackson looks out the window and sees them, and a group of walkers falling down upon them. "Those guys are in trouble, we gotta help them!" Jackson shouts. Lilly is against the idea, saying they can't trust every single group they come across. Carley agrees with Jackson to go out there and save them, since it's the humane thing to do. Lilly argues that humanity isn't an option anymore, and surviving is the main goal. Sandy tells her that they have kids with them, and she begins to open the door to go help them, followed by Jackson and Carley. Meg shouts "be careful!" to her sister as she stands beside the open door. Back out on the street, Katjaa screams that they're trapped as Duck is attacked by a walker, and is almost bit, until Sandy shoots the walker in the head. Sandy and Carley both begin shooting some of the walkers to keep them off the group. Jackson guides Lee and the others into the pharmacy and locks the gate. "What the hell, we can't just keep bringing in new people!" Lilly screams at the group. "And we can't just let people die, either!" Sandy yells back at Lilly. Larry complains to the group that they need to be thrown out immediately. Lee tries to calm the situation down, while Kenny argues with Larry and Lilly. "Son of a bitch! One of them is bitten!" Larry says, referring to Duck. Lee informs him that he wasn't bitten, however, Larry doesn't believe him and goes over to Duck to end him before he turns. Kenny steps in between them, to prevent Larry from hurting his son. A fight begins to ensure, as Sandy and Meg attempt to intervene, but are told off by Larry to stay out of it, and ends up with Kenny punching Larry. Clementine screams, showing that a walker has broken out of the bathroom she was trying to get into, and tries to bite Clementine. Lee steps in and tries to fend off the walker, until it is shot in the head by Sandy. Sandy asks Lee if he's hurt, to which he says no and thanks her for the help. The walkers outside hear the shot and attempt to break into the pharmacy, until some gunshots are heard, which clears the walkers from the outside temporarily. "Is that the army?" Meg questions Lilly. Lilly isn't sure if it is or not. Larry criticizes Sandy on shooting the walker, and then has a small heart attack. "What's wrong with him?" Lee questions Lilly. Lilly tells Lee that it's his heart acting up, and they've been trying to get into the pharmacy since they got there. Lilly begs Lee to help her get in there to get some pills for Larry, which he agrees to. Kenny begins to take charge of the people in there, making sure the door has a guard, and everyone formally introduces themselves. Kenny compliments on Sandy's shooting, calling her a "good shot" and wants her to take watch, and she agrees. Jackson suggests running to a motor inn to get a car and running by the gas station to get some gas. Lee asks him if he knows the area well enough to search it, and Jackson informs him that he was born and raised in Macon. Before Jackson leaves, Meg hugs him and tells him to watch himself, and Jackson then sneaks out of the pharmacy to get the car and gas. An hour passes, and the survivors are still making sure everything they need is cleared out and the walkers don't detect their presence. Sandy goes over to Lilly and Larry to check on them. Lilly thanks Sandy for her concern and asks her to keep and eye on the new group, just in case they aren't to be trusted. Sandy, trusting of the new group, tells her that she shouldn't be worrying about it, since they're helping her with getting her dad his medicine. Lee is talking with Kenny and his family about the events that happened, and then about Shawn. Lee assures Kenny, who is feeling very guilty about his death, that it couldn't have been prevented. Lee talks with Clementine about how she was doing and gets to know Carley and Doug at different times. Carley, who is trying to figure out how to work the radio, asks Lee if he could find her some batteries for the radio. He does so, and fixes the radio for her. Lee and Sandy talk to each other and he asks about who she is and if she had any family with her. Sandy tells him that Meg is her younger sister, and they were both coming back from a road trip home to Atlanta when it all began. Lee then asks Sandy if they found anyone in the drug store when they got there. Sandy tells him that she and Meg weren't originally with Lilly and the others, but she heard Larry talking about dragging a few bodies from the backroom to the outside. Lee is shocked upon hearing this, as those bodies were his parents, Sandy notices his reaction to what she says and asks him if he's alright, to which he says he is. As he walks away, Sandy eyes at him suspiciously. Meg walks up to Sandy and asks her what she thinks of the people that joined them, and Sandy believes they're trustworthy enough, but feels like Lee is hiding something. Meg looks at him and says that she thought she recognized him, but couldn't remember from where. Sandy goes on by saying that she trusts them more than Lilly, but wants to continue being nice to Lilly so they do not get tossed outside. Meg agrees with her that it's smart to stay on her good side. Lee and Clementine go into the backroom to look around for a key to get into the pharmacy part of the store. He finds a picture of him and his family, and tears himself out of the picture. "Find anything?" Carley suddenly appears behind him. Lee shows her the photo of only his parents and brother, saying that they probably owned the store. "I know who you are." Carley blankly tells Lee. Carley reveals her knowledge of who Lee is and his crime of killing his wife's lover. Carley warns Lee that if he causes any problems, then she won't hesitate on telling the others, but assures him she'll keep it to herself for the time being. Lee thanks her, which she appreciates. Lee and Clementine talk about her parents and she questions him about what Carley had talked about. Lee tells her that he had got into some trouble, but didn't go into details. Sandy goes over to Kenny and his family and offers Katjaa a candy bar for Duck, in case he was hungry. Katjaa is thankful for her concern, as well as Kenny, who asks her more information on Lilly and Larry. Sandy tells him that she and her sister, Meg, met them a few hours before they came to the pharmacy and confesses she doesn't like her or Larry. Sandy goes on by saying that Lilly strikes her as the type to only care for her father, and won't hesitate to leave anyone behind to get him to safety. Jackson suddenly responds to Clementine's walkie-talkie, wanting to talk to someone. Lee grabs the walkie-talkie and he tells Lee that he got into some trouble at the motor inn and needs some help getting out of there. "What should we do?" Kenny asks Lee. Lee tells Kenny that he should stay with his family, and that he'll go to the motor inn himself. Meg chimes in and says she's going to go with him, because Jackson is her friend. Sandy tells her that it's not safe for her to go, but Meg dismisses her and affirms that she's going with Lee. Sandy sighs and tells Lee that she's going as well to help out. Lee accepts both of their offers, and the three head out to retrieve Jackson.
===="Chapter 4"====
Lee, Sandy, and Meg arrive at the motor inn on foot, looking for Jackson. Lee and Sandy quickly crouch down and tell Meg to do so as well, since there is a walker near their area. Once it goes away, the ice machine in the corner starts moving. Lee advises Sandy to be ready to shoot it. The door opens and inside is revealed to be Jackson. "Jesus, Jackson!" Meg says to him. Jackson mentions to them that he got the gas, but he heard a woman in one of the rooms upstairs, crying. "And, what are we supposed to do?" Sandy asks him. Jackson is irritated by her question and says they have to help her. Meg agrees with Sandy that it is too dangerous to help her out with all the walkers around. Lee agrees with Jackson that they should try to save her. Sandy and Meg, though reluctant, decide to help them out. Lee and Sandy both head around the parking lot to take out the walkers scattered around as quietly as they can, while Meg and Jackson make sure that they don't get surprised by a lone walker. Eventually, Lee finds an axe and decides to keep it for himself to use. After everything is cleared, the four of them head upstairs to talk to the woman in the apartment. Jackson reveals her name to be Irene, and asks her to come out, but she refuses. Lee breaks the barricade off the door, and tries to open the door, then she says she'll come out. Irene exits the door, and is revealed to have been bitten by a walker. "My boyfriend turned, and now I will too! When you get bit, you turn and you die then you come back and kill anything you can find!" Irene says to them. Jackson offers her help, saying they're group is at a drug store and could find her medicine. Irene notices Sandy's gun and asks if she could borrow it, in order to kill herself. Sandy refuses to give the gun to her, so Irene decides to forcefully take it from her. Lee, Meg, and Jackson try to stop Irene from getting the gun, but the balcony they're standing on collapses. Irene manages to grab the gun and slowly walks away from them, pointing the gun to her temple. "Let's all relax now, and think this through, okay?" Lee calmly says to Irene. "You can't do that! There has to be some way!" Meg adds. Irene doesn't believe them and pulls the trigger. Jackson vomits upon the sight of Irene's dead body. Lee walks over to Irene's body to pick the gun back up, as Sandy and Meg look at her in disbelief. Lee gives Sandy her gun back, and head to the car Jackson found. Lee notices Jackson carrying a small bag and asks him what it is. Jackson hesitates on his answer and says it was memorabilia for himself before placing it in the back of the trunk and heading to the backseat. The four of them leave before walkers start to crowd in.
===="Chapter 5"====
Lee, Sandy, Meg, and Jackson have returned to the pharmacy with the gas for the truck. Kenny asks the four if everything went alright, and Jackson tells him about the gas and the car and walks away. Sandy questions him about the situation on the pharmacy while they were away. Kenny says that everyone stayed the same, but Larry's in bad shape and needs the medication soon. Lee goes to check on Clementine and asks her if she's doing alright too. Clementine complies that she's fine, but a little hungry. Lee grabs a chocolate bar he found on the shelf and gives it to her, and she thanks him. Lee talks to Carley, asking her if she was doing alright, and Carley talks to him about her friends at the WABE station being trapped and hoping they made it out. Lilly calls Lee over and questions him about Clementine's parents, realizing that he's not her dad, and he mentions to her that he's watching after her since he believes her parents have died. Lilly states that she's lucky she has him. Lee thanks her, and promises her that he'll get the pharmacy open for Larry. Doug then calls Lee over and asks him if he wants to have a look around the outside since the walkers have calmed down. Sandy overhears this conversation and wants to take a look as well. The three of them go outside and look upon the streets of Macon, infested with the undead. "Holy fuck. They're everywhere." Sandy whispers to Lee and Doug. Lee looks over at one of the walkers trapped underneath a telephone pole and realizes it is his brother, B., reanimated. Lee keeps his knowledge of his brother to himself and mentions to Sandy and Doug that he has the keys to the pharmacy. Both question him on how he would know and shows them both the picture he found, where it shows B. with his parents. They both agree to help go and get the keys from him. Lee breaks the lock off of the chain, while Sandy throws a rock into the window across the street to distract the walkers. Lee goes over to his undead brother and apologizes to him for not being there, but is glad to know he was there with their parents, knowing he would have died for them. Lee then uses the axe to put his brother at peace, however, he's still alive. After several strikes, Lee manages to hit him in the head with the axe, realizing it takes a hit to the head for them to die. Lee grabs the keys and shows them to Sandy and Doug. "Holy crap!" Doug screams, realizing the walkers have taken notice of Lee. Lee runs back into the pharmacy with Sandy and Doug before the walkers get closer to them. Meg goes to the door, asking what happened since she heard Doug yell. Sandy says it was nothing serious, but Lee had gotten the keys to the pharmacy. Lee goes over to Lilly to inform her that he's got the keys. Lilly is elated to hear the news and goes with Lee to unlock the door. As Lee walks into the pharmacy, an alarm goes off. "Oh, no." Lilly says. Both Lee and Lilly run into the pharmacy to grab the supplies they need.
===="Chapter 6"====
Outside, a walker is awakened by the alarm and slowly begins to make it's way to the drug store, where it is shown that several walkers have also taken notice of it and are trying to break in. Kenny puts Katjaa and Duck in the back room, to keep them out of harm's way and goes out back to start the truck. Lilly and Larry follow him. Kenny asks for Lee's axe, in case he runs into trouble, which Lee gives him. Kenny informs Jackson to listen for him honking as it means he'll need help getting everyone in the truck. Kenny then tells Sandy, Meg, Carley, Lee, and Doug to watch the doors and windows, and to keep their defenses up. All six huddle against the door to keep it closed, when Katjaa calls Jackson, leaving only the five to keep it closed. Doug, believing these are his final moments, tells Lee that he thinks he's a great guy for helping everyone out. Lee assures him they will make it through this. One side of the room goes down, and Carley goes over to shoot the walkers entering the building. One window is broken in and Doug goes to fix it. Katjaa then calls for Lee and asks for his help. Sandy tells Lee to stay with them and she'll go help Katjaa. Meg runs after her, saying she's not gonna let her go by herself. They run in the back to go help them. Lee asks Clementine to find him something strong to place between the handles. She brings him the cane that his dad used. After doing this, Carley and Doug are overwhelmed by walkers and both require Lee's help. Lee looks at both frantically and runs over to help Doug. He pulls Doug out from the walkers grasp, and attempts to run over to help Carley, however, she is pulled down by the walkers and devoured. "Holy..." Doug retches before running. Kenny enters the room and tells everyone to follow him to the truck. While everyone is running, Clementine is grabbed by a walker, but is saved by Lee. As both try to run for the door, Larry stops Lee from entering. "You're not coming with us, you son of a bitch!" Larry yells at Lee and then punches him. Lee is knocked flat on the floor and is almost bitten by a walker, until Kenny saves him. Back at the motor inn, Lilly and Sandy are burning the bodies around the motor inn, making sure it's cleared out. Duck is talking to Clementine. Kenny and Katjaa are looking over the supplies in the truck. Larry is watching everyone go about their business. Doug is looking through a few boxes. Jackson is listening to a broadcast over the cars radio. Lee is looking at the picture of his family and hears screams coming from the distance. Lee goes over to talk to Jackson, and asks how he's doing. Jackson talks with Lee about the girl that killed herself and asks why someone would do that to themselves, before going back to listening to the radio. He goes around to talk with everyone and then to Clementine, who tells him that her walkie-talkie broke. Lee apologizes about it being broken, and assures her that they can find her another one. Clementine tells him that she uses it to talk to parents, despite it not making sense, as it offers her comfort. Larry then calls Lee over to talk with him. Larry informs Lee that he knows about his past, and warns him that if he puts his daughter in danger, he'll have to deal with him. Lilly comes over to talk to Lee, after Larry walks away, and thanks him for everything he did for the group and says they couldn't have made it out without him. Sandy and Meg sit on the ground by the RV and rest. Meg jokingly asks her how they got involved in such a mess. Sandy tells her that the group seems like a bunch of good people, aside for Larry, and they should stay and help out. Meg agrees and says she's glad that Jackson was alive and hopes to catch up some more. A loud boom is heard across the motor inn. "I hope that's the sound of us winnin' this thing!" Kenny says to Lee and Lilly. "That was no gunshot. That was a tank! It has to be the army!" Sandy adds. The four walk close to the road, confident that everyone is going to work out, until the power goes out.
===="Chapter 7"====
A week has gone by since the group has settled in the motor inn. Everyone in the group is doing their own thing. Clementine is seen coloring with Duck, while Katjaa watches over them. Doug is working on a bell system rigged around the front of the motor inn to alert them of trespassers. Apparently, they are still trying to gather enough supplies to survive at the motor inn. Out in a field, Lilly is instructing the group on how to properly aim and fire guns. She sets up target practice with cans and bottles for everyone to shoot. Jackson dismisses himself as a "terrible shot" since he's missed every shot so far. Meg fires and misses the bottle and curses at it, assuring Jackson he's not the only one. Lee offers to help Jackson, but Lilly takes over with a more demanding and annoyed tone. Kenny rolls his eyes and shoots one of the bottles. Sandy hits two bottles, and looks over at Larry, who is sitting down and watching them. "So you just gonna sit on your ass all day, Larry?" Sandy questions him. Larry angrily tells her that he was former military and has had gun training more advanced than what they're doing. Lilly walks over to Sandy and compliments her on her shooting, saying she might be the best shot in the group. She walks over to put a small tin can on the furthest rock and asks Sandy to try shooting it. Sandy says she's not sure she's going to be able to hit it from that distance, but Meg tells her to go for it and try. Sandy aims the gun, fires and knocks the can off. Kenny says he knew Sandy was a sharpshooter when he first met her at the pharmacy. Lilly tells Kenny he needs to convince Katjaa to join so she can learn how to use guns, but Kenny tells her to mind her own business and he'll help his family out. Everyone heads out and later on, Lilly gathers Lee, Sandy, Kenny, Meg, Doug, Jackson, and Larry around to look at a map for scavenging. Sandy tells them that most of the places in town have already been raided, except for the pharmacy, but most of the food is gone from there. Kenny suggests going out to hunt for food, instead, since eventually there will be nothing left in Macon at all. After much talk, the group eventually decides they should try hunting for some food. Lee offers to go out, along with Kenny. Sandy and Meg also want to join them. Lilly gives Lee and Kenny both a rifle for any deer, but Lee insists giving his rifle to Sandy, since she herself said that Sandy was the best shot in the group. Lilly eyes Lee, then hands the rifle to Sandy, who glares at her. Meg seems hesitant on using a gun, but shakes her head and grabs one. Clementine overhears their discussion and asks Lee if she could come along with him. Although hesitant about the idea, Lee agrees to let her come with them, but tells her to stay close to him at all times and not to wander off. Doug tells Lilly he's better suited staying at the motor inn to work on his project, but Lilly insists that he go out and help, since he decided to skip out on target practice.
===="Chapter 8"====
Once they finally get back to the motor inn, Lilly asks Katjaa to fix up Sandy's face, and helps the others with the supplies they got from the Miller house. Larry gets onto Lee for letting a girl like Clementine into the house without even considering that it could be dangerous, but Kenny defends him. Jackson comes out from his room, acting a bit spaced out. Lilly asks what's wrong with him, and Jackson tells her that he was in a deep sleep and is groggy, and notices Sandy's bleeding face. Jackson asks Meg if she and everyone else are okay, and they inform him of what happened. Lilly apologizes to them that she didn't go looking for them, since she could have helped if she knew but thanks them for what they did to bring the supplies back. As Katjaa finishes cleaning up Sandy's face, she begins suturing the wound and informs Sandy that the wound may leave a scar, due to how deep the cut was. "Great, can't wait to look like some fucking freak." Duck laughs at what she said, and Katjaa asks Sandy to watch her language around the kids. She places a bandage on and tells her to leave it on for the next few days. As everyone talks with each other, Meg looks back at Jackson, who is digging into his pocket but stops when he notices her and nervously waves.
===="Chapter 9"====
At the motor inn, Jackson comes out of his room to get a bottle of water. Doug notices him and asks him if he's alright, noticing him wobbling a bit. Jackson says he's doing great and says he found a new "perspective" on life, before returning to his room. Meg hears their conversation and follows him back to his room. She opens the door slowly and sees Jackson snorting cocaine on his dresser. Meg slowly enters the room and closes the door loud enough for him to hear. Jackson turns around in shock and says he can explain. Meg questions him on his drug usage, thinking he had stopped. Jackson reveals that he was clean, until the apocalypse started, and one of the reasons why he wanted to come to the motor inn to look for supplies was because he had left his own stash of drugs hidden in the room. He further adds that it doesn't really matter anymore and he's not hurting anyone else doing it. Meg gets frustrated with him and tells him that it matters to her because it could end up killing him. She further begins to have a small breakdown from the struggle of the world. Jackson comforts her and says he understands exactly how she feels. He then offers her cocaine, asking her if she would like to "destress". Meg looks at him with teary eyes, and takes his offer.
===="Chapter 10"====
Sandy leaves to go find Jackson to ask him if Meg has said anything to him while she was gone. Jackson tries to avoid making contact with Sandy while he helps work on Doug's alarm system, and says that Meg didn't really talk to him much about her decision to go yesterday without her and assures her not to be too worried. Doug looks between the two, not sure whether to say anything or not, then Sandy walks off. Jackson shrugs his shoulders to Doug, and asks what her deal was. Doug tells him that she's just looking out for her sister. Sandy thanks her for the information and heads off to Jackson's room without him seeing her. Once inside, Sandy rummages through his belongings to search for anything and stumbles on his stash of drugs. Meg enters the room while Sandy has her back to the door, and angrily asks her what she's doing in Jackson's room. Sandy turns around and immediately questions her on why she's in his room. Meg hesitates to answer and affirms that she has no right to go through his things. Sandy holds the bag up and demands to know if she has been using again. Meg tells her she's crazy and storms out. Sandy runs behind her, grabs her arm, and forces Meg more into the light, where Meg's face is flushed. Sandy angrily yells out to Meg about why she's taking drugs again. Meg yells back to her and says she doesn't own her life and she can do whatever she wants, adding that the "world is over" and she could die by other means before the drugs could impact her. Everyone begins to take notice of their argument and uneasily listens. Jackson runs up to try to intervene and tells Sandy that he's to blame for it, and he showed Meg his stash, to begin with. Sandy suddenly punches Jackson in the face, and Meg forcefully pushes Sandy away, and tells her to leave her and Jackson alone. Meg tearfully yells at Sandy that she isn't their mother, nor is Sandy much older than her, and to quit treating her like a child, insisting that she's as much as an adult as she is. Meg runs back to her room and slams the door shut. Sandy walks back down the stairs with Jackson behind her, trying to explain to her once again what happened, but Sandy dismisses him and tells him to stay away from her and her sister. Katjaa tells both of them to stop, as they're both scaring the children, and demands that if they're going to argue more then to take it in one of the rooms and not in front of the kids. Sandy tells her she doesn't need to talk to him, and won't be doing so. In Jackson's room, he lays on his bed looking up at the ceiling with a shot of heroin in his hand. He injects himself as he watches the ceiling. A noise shuffles and it is revealed to be Meg, sneaking in through his window. Jackson tells her she shouldn't be in his room, or around him, after what happened. "Fuck that. And fuck Sandy. What we're doing isn't hurting anyone. We're letting off steam." Meg says to him. Meg grabs the cocaine from his desk and begins snorting it. Meg lays beside him on the bed and asks him if he thinks everything will ever go back to being normal. Jackson remains silent for a few minutes and says he's not sure. Meg looks over and sees the heroin, she attempts to grab one of them but Jackson grabs her hand. He tells her that he can't let her do it, and he feels guilty about all of it. Meg berates him and says she knows what she's doing. Meg grabs one of the heroin shots, wraps her arm, and injects herself. A few minutes go by, and Meg tells Jackson about how she wanted to be a movie star when she was younger. She goes on with details of what she wanted in life, and what life was like with Sandy. Meg smiles as she reminisces and leans into Jackson's shoulder, adding that she feels happy. The next morning, everyone begins waking up and walking about the motor inn. Sandy leaves her bedroom and sees Lee and Lilly talking to each other. She walks up to greet them and asks if they've seen Meg yet, hoping to apologize for the things she said yesterday. Lilly says she was probably still asleep or just sitting in her room. Sandy goes to Meg's room and finds no one inside. Suspicious, she goes upstairs to Jackson's room. Sandy knocks on the door, hoping someone will answer, but she hears nothing. Sandy opens the door and her eyes widen in horror. Jackson is laying on the floor, dead and being devoured by a now zombified Meg. Sandy places her hand over her mouth and begins to cry. Lee notices Sandy's reaction from below and goes up to find out what happened. Lee's expression goes from worried to completely shocked as he witnesses what Sandy does. The zombified Meg looks up at them and begins walking towards them. Sandy cries as she begs for this to all be a nightmare. Lee calls Sandy's name, to try to snap her out of it. Meg shambles closer to the door, growling. Lee reaches for his gun in his pocket, but suddenly Sandy stands up and shoots Meg in the head. Everyone else takes notice of the shot. Kenny tells Katjaa to keep the kids back and runs upstairs with Lilly behind him. Both are shocked and Kenny immediately asks what happened. Through her tears, Sandy tells him that Meg had turned and killed Jackson. Lilly is confused and asks Sandy if she knew how Meg got bitten. Lee looks over Meg's body and tells them that Meg doesn't have any bite marks and from what he could tell, she died from an overdose. Realization begins to come over them, as they realize that Meg turned simply from dying, and not being bitten, meaning that if you die and the brain isn't destroyed, you come back as a walker. Kenny walks over to Sandy and helps her up, comfortingly telling her to follow him downstairs. Lee and Lilly look into the room to examine Jackson's body. "He's going to come back too. We have to take care of him." Lilly somberly says. Lee agrees and says he'll do it. Lee grabs a knife from Jackson's nightstand and stabs him in the head. Outside the motor inn, Lee, Kenny, and Mark finish digging graves for Meg and Jackson. Everyone stands by the graves to pay their respects as Sandy sits next to Meg's grave, grieving.
