==Pre-Apocalypse==
===Location Unknown===
Nothing is known about Carver's life prior to or as the outbreak began. He only mentions that he dislikes "Yankee weather" and had not been "north" prior to the apocalypse. Thus, he may have lived in the southern United States.
==Post-Apocalypse==
===Season 5: All That Remains===
===="Chapter 57"====
Carver's first appearance in this episode occurs after Clementine and Sarah are left alone in the cabin. Carver arrives at the cabin and, using the name "George", makes his way inside, asking Clementine many questions about who lives at the cabin with a specific focus on Rebecca. In the same instance, he later discovers that the group he was searching for do reside in the cabin, and so he ultimately leaves the home after giving Clementine advice about trust.
===="Chapter 63"====
Sandy, Kenny, Luke, Carlos, Walter, Sarita, Nick, Paige, Mahiru, Ryder, and Clementine go to stop the windmill and fend off the walkers it might lure from the sound. Another loud sound goes off, which Kenny says was the transformer and he'll need to go repair it. Luke offers to go with him, while everyone else tries to stop the windmill. Carlos opens the panel for the windmill and asks for light so he can try to shut it off. Clementine gets her lighter from her backpack and gives it to Carlos, as Sandy points out that walkers are coming out from the trees. Mahiru immediately kills one with her bow and tells everyone to get ready to protect each other. Everyone begins firing at the walkers now emerging from the forest in packs. Ryder is grabbed by a walker, but is saved by Paige and Clementine attempts to fight off a few but runs out of ammo. Sandy saves her before she is attacked and everyone begins to fall back to the lodge after Carlos finally turns off the windmill. After picking off a few walkers, Nick struggles with a walker. Walter sees his struggle and raises his gun. He looks at Clementine, who is waiting for him to shoot the walker, which he finally does, saving Nick and forgiving him for killing Matthew. After Clementine runs inside to check on the others, Sarah points out machine-gun fire as a small group walks out from the woods and finishes off the walkers with assault rifles. This group consists of Carver, the woman looking into the resort, Bonnie, and two other men, Johnny and Troy. Carver greets Carlos, who spits in his face. Carver then proceeds to beat Carlos. Sarah runs outside to protect her father from harm, despite Rebecca's protests for her to stay inside. Before being seen, Sandy manages to hide in cover behind the side of the lodge, as Carver orders everyone to go inside. Walter expresses shock over seeing Bonnie and knowing she had lied to them about her identity. Once inside, Carver makes everyone sit on the ground to await what he has in store for them, as Clementine, Rebecca, Alvin, and Arnold hide upstairs.
===="Chapter 64"====
Kenny attempts to turn the transformer back on as Luke overlooks the area around him. Despite his attempts, Kenny is unable to get the power back on. Luke asks if he could look at it, which Kenny agrees to. As Luke tinkers with it, gunshots are overheard. Kenny says it came from the lodge and tells Luke to get the transformer on and he'll go scope it out, assuming it could be the others fighting off walkers. Alvin, Clementine, Arnold, and Rebecca are upstairs hiding. William Carver calls out to the remaining survivors to come out or everyone else will die one by one. Alvin wants to give himself up, once Carver grabs Carlos and begins to use him as leverage, despite Sarah's pleas. Rebecca is hesitant and hoping that the others might have a plan to save them. Arnold disagrees with Rebecca and believes they should surrender to keep anyone from dying, after witnessing Carver breaking one of Carlos' fingers. Clementine gets up and calls out for Carver to stop, with Alvin and Arnold standing up with her, while Rebecca continues to hide herself with disappointment. Once they head downstairs, Bonnie grabs them and ushers them to the ground next to the others, while Carver caresses Rebecca's face. Rebecca curtly bashes his advances. Sandy looks in through the window and tries to come up with a way to save them when she notices a figure moving around on the other side of the lodge by the ski lift. It's revealed to be Kenny, who is aiming his rifle into the lodge. Sandy sneaks her way over to Kenny and asks what happened to Luke. Kenny tells her he left him by the transformer cause he heard the gunshots and asks what happened. Sandy tells him the group that was after Luke and his friends showed up and has everyone at gunpoint, including Clementine. Kenny believes he can shoot them from where he is, however, Sandy instructs him not to shoot, saying that they are dangerously serious and worry what would happen if he were to start a shootout. Despite her theories, Kenny ignores her and shoots Johnny in the head. Carver, angered by the death of his man, grabs Walter and shoots him in the head. Kenny cries out and fires more, still missing his shots. Sandy grabs Kenny's gun and shouts for him to stop, but he grabs it back and tells her not to get in his way. Carver then picks Alvin up and Sandy once again tells Kenny not to shoot, and that they have to surrender or he'll kill him too. Kenny once again ignores Sandy and shoots Carver in his shoulder. As Kenny attempts to reload, Carver gets up and shoots Alvin in the head. Rebecca cries out at the death of her husband. Angered by them not surrendering, Carver says shooting him in the shoulder will cost them more than just Alvin. He raises his gun and fires, shooting Arnold straight through the head. Paige, Mahiru and Ryder are distraught over his death, with Paige calling him a monster. Carver goes over to Clementine and grabs her, dragging her towards the door with a gun to her head. Sandy, fed up with Kenny's recklessness, punches him in the face and grabs his rifle. "You stupid fucking idiot!" she yells out. Sandy tosses the rifle on the ground, raises her hands in the air, and walks toward the lodge. Bonnie opens the door to the lodge and instructs Kenny to get inside before she shoots him, which he reluctantly obliges to. Afterwards, Carver notices that Luke is not present and he assumes he ran off to save himself. He then orders his remaining people to take the survivors "home", and one by one are taken out of the lodge.
===Season 6: In Harm's Way===
===="Chapter 65"====
The episode begins with Clementine staring at a moth on a tree, and is revealed to be on watch over Sarah, who is taking a bathroom break in the woods. Sarah then thanks her for watching her back, although she knows that Clementine was forced to come with her. Clementine tells her not to worry about it, since they're friends, which relieves Sarah. One of Carver's guards, Troy, calls out to them, asking if they are finished doing their business. Carver is talking to an unknown individual back at his camp over his walkie-talkie, telling them to prepare for the arrival of both the old and new prisoners, and that tensions may run high. Mentioning that they should be back within 30 minutes, Carver commands Troy to restrain Clementine and Sarah's hands and get them back on the truck. While Troy is busy tying Sarah's hands, Carver warns Troy to not waste fuel in order to keep the truck's heater running, while Clementine knowingly eavesdrops on the conversation. Carver turns and notices Clementine doing so, and tells her that listening in upon someone else's conversation is not polite. Clementine talks back to Carver and he slaps her to the ground, telling her not to test him. Sarah shouts out Carver to stop, and to not hurt her friend. Clementine glares at Carver, who says he has his work cut out for him. The two are then escorted back onto the truck. Kenny yells at the captors, asking them what they did to Clementine as Troy shuts the door to the truck. In the back of the truck, the survivors remain silent, glancing worryingly at one another. Eventually, Kenny speaks up, saying that they have to do something in order to get out. Sandy berates him, telling him there isn't anything they can do and for now to just comply with them, which Kenny angrily disagrees with. He then asks Clementine to help him find something sharp to cut the bindings off. Kenny starts to become agitated at their current situation, and Carlos and Ryder attempt to calm Kenny down, telling him to keep a level head and to not cause unnecessary trouble. Kenny continues to insist on attempting to escape, while the rest of the cabin survivors continue to warn Kenny of Carver's dangerous nature, specifically Rebecca, stating that he has no idea what kind of man he is dealing with. Kenny remarks that he has a "pretty good idea" of who Carver is following the incident at the ski lodge, stating that he is only trying to help before something similar happens to the rest of them. Sandy scolds Kenny for his impulsive behavior, stating that there are consequences to rash actions, and that Kenny mistakes their surrendering to Carver in order to avoid further conflict as them giving up. Kenny argues that if Sandy did not take his rifle away from him, this never would have happened, which Sandy counters by saying Walter certainly appreciated his "help" which Sarita says is not fair to blame Kenny for Walter's death. Paige and Mahiru both agree with Sandy that it was Kenny's fault that Walter, along with Arnold and Alvin, was killed, with Mahiru explicitly saying that Kenny is no worse than Carver for carelessly sacrificing lives. Kenny notices a sharp piece of metal jutting out of the truck, which he uses to cut the bindings off. Sandy once again tells Kenny to stop and think for a moment, saying she's not gonna sit by and let someone else die because of him, which Sarita argues that Kenny is not a murderer. Rebecca tells him that he can't do anything to them, as they are heavily armed and outnumber the restrained survivors. Nick believes that Luke is the only hope they have at the moment, but Kenny goes on to tell the group that he believes Luke abandoned them previously, leaving them behind at the mercy of Carver, while the rest are convinced that he is either somewhere nearby, trying to come up with a plan to help them escape, or possibly dead. Eventually, the truck begins to come to a stop, and the cabin survivors realize they've finally arrived at the camp, a heavily fortified Howe's Hardware store. Kenny plans to storm Carver and his men when they open the doors. He asks Clementine to help back him up, which Sandy shockingly asks him what Clementine could do to help, since she's a child. Kenny tells Sandy that she's really beginning to aggravate him with her pessimistic ideas, Sandy gets up and walks to his face, telling him to stand down or else. Kenny remarks that he's not scared of her. Sandy turns to the side facing Kenny and slams her binded fists into Kenny's face, shoving him against the side of the truck and briefly knocking him unconscious. Sarita rushes in to make sure he is okay, while Carlos snidely remarks that it was "probably for the best" that Kenny was knocked out. Meanwhile, outside of Howe's Hardware, Luke shambles out from behind the trees, scouting the area.
===="Chapter 66"====
The truck door is opened by Troy, who is joined by Tavia and a seemingly-apologetic Bonnie, who appears regretful regarding the events at the ski lodge. The group is then escorted by the three into the hardware store. Carver is seen talking through a PA system in a second floor office, telling his people that they are welcoming both new and old guests. He states that regardless of their actions, they must attempt to forgive them, and come to terms with their reintegration into the group. As Carver continues to speak of the status of a nearby herd of walkers, and of his hopes to continue the "expansion project" of the camp. Troy asks Carlos to follow him, as they need some of their people to be looked at. Carlos asks if it can wait, as they are all exhausted, but Troy forcefully makes him come along with him. Troy escorts Carlos away from the rest of the group, as Sarah expresses concern over her father, saying that she needs him, as he looks after her. Clementine attempts to assure her that he'll come back later, but Sarah appears to not hear her. Paige walks over to Sarah, grabs her shoulder, and motions her to follow the rest, saying she'll see him again. The rest of the group are taken to a segregated garden area, dubbed "the pen" by Carver and his people, a holding area where those who break Carver's rules, or are new arrivals to the community, are sent to prove their worth and value, and ultimately earn their way into Carver's main group and community. Carver finishes his speech over the PA system, stating that it is no longer an obligation to simply survive, but to make the community a beacon of hope for other survivors in the area. The group are untied by Troy and the rest, and are greeted by Reggie, an old friend and member of Carver's community, who helped the cabin survivors escape the compound previously, but was unable to escape along with them. Rebecca and the others are in shock to find out that he had lost his arm since they had last seen him. Nick takes the blame for the loss of Reggie's arm, but he assures Nick and the group that the loss of his arm was not their fault, and happened on his own accord once they had escaped. Reggie tells them that he lost his arm due to being bitten by a walker while he was distracted, but that they were able to immediately amputate his arm, thus saving his life. Rebecca then introduces her new friends to Reggie: Sarita, Kenny, Sandy, Paige, Mahiru, Ryder, and Clementine. Reggie asks about Carlos' whereabouts, and they tell him that Carlos is looking at some of the people from the community. Reggie asks about Pete, but upon seeing the saddened faces of the group, infers that he has died. The moment is interrupted by another survivor, who is slightly irritated by the commotion, as he is trying to sleep, asking them if they can keep it down a bit. Reggie will apologize to him, and goes on the tell the group that the man, whose name is Javier García, is the one who amputated his arm and saved his life, adding that he's a lot more charming when he's not trying to sleep. Reggie goes on to say that while the situation looks grim, the community is not that bad as they might think. He mentions how Carver is working towards building a real community, and attempts to convince the survivors to take part in the process. When the rest of the group disagree and tell them of Carver's doings and Rebecca mentions that he killed Alvin. Reggie will state that Carver gave him a second chance after their escape, instead of simply killing him, and that he is sure he would do the same for the rest of the group. He also mentions how close he is to being let back into the main group, having worked his way up from the bottom. He tells them he would gladly help them try to escape again once he gains Carver's trust, once again adding that the encampment isn't as bad as they think it is. Sandy adds that it feels more like a prison than a camp, which Reggie rebuffs. After explaining, Rebecca suffers a small contraction, and claim that she needs to sit down. While Sarita, Mahiru, and Sarah help Rebecca to relax, Reggie and the rest of the survivors continue to chat among themselves. Sandy, skeptical of Reggie, confides in Clementine that she does not trust him. Clementine thinks he seems nice, if not a little weird. Kenny comes over and apologizes to Sandy for the argument in the truck and commends her for how tough she's gotten since last he had seen her. Sandy tells him not to worry about it, but to try thinking more logically in a situation like that, were it to happen again. Kenny rolls his eyes, and jokingly says Sandy "has not changed a bit". Paige and Ryder walk over with Paige asking them if they noticed anything they could use if they were to attempt an escape to use. Kenny says he was trying to take a quick look around, but Reggie kept giving him the side-eye, but believes that one of them could look around while he attempts to distract Reggie, asking Clementine if he'd like to help him, which she accepts. While Paige casually searches the bunk area, Sandy and Ryder check out a rope connected to a pulley system, and he asks her if she thinks they could eventually use that to their advantage. Sandy examines it and believes it could be used to get someone to the ladder if they rig it to do so, taking note that Carver mentioned they would be working to earn their keep, so someone in their group could have an excuse to be near it, which he agrees. After a short time has passed, Troy brings back Carlos, and orders the group to go to sleep, threatening to shoot them if he sees them wandering around during the night. Before the group goes to sleep, Kenny asks Clementine if she is both ready and willing to help if the time comes, saying that he might ask her to do things that Sandy might not think she's ready for, but knows she's old enough to handle more responsibility, and Clementine says yes.
===="Chapter 67"====
In the morning, Troy kicks Sandy to wake her up. Sandy angrily tells him off, to which he aggressively fires back at her. Everyone piles at the gate, where Carver arrives, with Troy, Tavia, and another guard standing watch. He will go on to explain the herd situation, giving a status update and a heads-up to be mindful when outside the walls. Carver mentions that while the group may be sore over the previous night's events, it is in the past and that they must move forward. He goes on to state that whether the survivors are new to the community, or members who have gone astray, they can all find redemption through hard labor, proving their worth once more. Carver tells Reggie that he is nearly back into the group, and will be welcomed back with open arms if he continues to keep up the good work. Carver then begins to give each survivor their assignments for the day. As he speaks, Sarah tries to chat with Clementine, who tells Sarah she should be quiet in case Carver hears her. However, she continues speaking and a visibly irritated Carver shouts at Carlos, telling him that his daughter is being disrespectful. Carlos tells Sarah to apologize to Carver, but he is unsatisfied with a simple apology; he demands that Carlos 'discipline' her. Carlos asks what he means, and Carver proposes that he smacks Sarah for her improper behavior. Initially hesitant, Carlos attempts to avoid having to hit his own daughter, but Carver threatens him by saying if Carlos doesn't do it, he'll have Troy hit her instead, implying his treatment to be much worse in comparison. With no other option, Carlos regretfully turns to Sarah, who is desperately apologizing to him. He tells her that it will only hurt for a moment, and pauses for a brief moment before Carver tells him to do it. After smacking Sarah, Carlos tearfully states in a soft voice that he is sorry, but Carver refuses to let him continue to coddle Sarah, and let her understand the consequences of her actions. Mahiru comments that the order was uncalled for. Carver asks her what she would have done differently and if she would like for Troy to demonstrate. Mahiru attempts to call his bluff, but she is talked out of it by Paige and Ryder. Afterward, the group is ordered to get to work with chores. Tavia orders Clementine to go see Bonnie, implying that she has some work for Clementine. Bonnie finds Clementine and leads her to the armory. Bonnie is stopped by Shel and her sister Becca, a member and worker there, about the food stocks. While Bonnie is talking to Shel, Clementine looks around the compound. A guard named Russell tells her that she should go with Bonnie, since Carver does not like "idle hands." After reaching the armory, Bonnie tells her that she is loading weapon magazines. Clementine quickly and instinctively begins loading the bullets along with Bonnie. Bonnie attempts to apologize about lying to Clementine, Kenny, and Walter when she was caught back at the lodge. She says she never thought strangers would be so kind to her. After apologizing, Bonnie mentions that she had planned to leave when Luke and the rest of the cabin survivors decided to escape the compound. She ultimately decided to stay, justifying that it would be easier to stay in the community and try to fix its problems, rather than escape to begin all over again, as she claims Carver used to be a different person, and that she was sure that he would be able to come around. Tavia calls on the walkie-talkie, asking if Clementine is still with her, as she has another job for her to do. Bonnie then gives Clementine a jacket which she found back at the lodge as a small present. Bonnie brags on her jacket, saying that everyone is gonna want it, when Tavia walks in, commenting that the jacket is "ugly." Tavia guides Clementine back out, and tells her she'll be working in the kitchen now. Outside, Sandy is shown working on the roof, just as she had hoped. She overhears Javier talking to Wyatt, a guard, about a herd that is passing through soon, and that it is huge. Sandy stops her work, and goes over to ask them about the details of the herd. Wyatt tells her that at least over a hundred walkers are seen in the mix, maybe more, and they'll be cutting very close by the community soon. Radio chatter forces Wyatt to leave and Javier introduces himself to Sandy, and apologies for not introducing himself last night. She asks him how long he's been here, to which he reveals that he hasn't been here for too long and attempted to leave at one point, but that he was "asked nicely" to stay with a clear sarcastic tone. Sandy isn't surprised and believes the community in its entirety feels like a prison with forced labor, which Javier agrees. A guard signals over Javier and tells him he needs to get down to the expansion to help work on it. Once Javier says his goodbye and walks away, Sandy goes back to look at the pulley. She breaks the chain on it, and lowers it into the pen, hoping to possibly use it one night. Troy comes up and tells her that she's going to be put on sniping duty, and asks her if she knows how to shoot a gun. Sandy ignores him and walks past him toward the door, earning a "bitch" comment from Troy. Back inside the warehouse, Paige, Kenny, and Mahiru are assigned to work with Shel with the food stocks. Paige asks Mahiru if she slept okay, and she says that she did and whispers under her breath that she really wanted to do something to stop what Carver made Carlos do. Paige agrees, but tells her that he has the advantage over them right now and there isn't much they can do, and to wait for an opening. Kenny chimes in and says that he'll make sure everyone gets out. Troy immediately comes over to Kenny and tells him to get over to the new expansion to help the other workers with it. After Kenny leaves, Shel tells Paige and Mahiru that she'll go get one of the other new recruits that was allowed to fully join their community so they can get to know him and feel better about being here. A man walks in the room as Shel is talking to them and interrupts herself to introduce the man to them; Omid.
===="Chapter 68"====
As walkers begin to form outside Howe's Hardware, snipers silently take out a few of them on the rooftops. Troy leads Sandy up to the roof with some of the others and tells her to report to Hank, who commands the snipers on duty, and leaves to go back down. Sandy looks around the surrounding area to see dozens and dozens of corpses polluting the streets, and several more walkers still roaming the parking lot. Ryder attempts to fire at one of them, but misses his shots, prompting Hank to chastise him and if he doesn't shape up, he'll be put out to the pasture. Ryder explains that he's never been good with guns and took out walkers at a close range, but he is quickly shut down by Hank who tells him he needs to adapt if he's going to live in their community. Hank notices Sandy and introduces himself and his crew and hopes that she's a better shot than Ryder. Sandy confidently asks him how he's so sure she won't turn the gun on him, to which he laughs and tells her that his crew wouldn't let her have the chance to do so. After she's handed a gun, she effortlessly snipes several walkers with no hesitation, which impresses Hank. Hank belittles Ryder saying that "a woman is doing a man's job better", which Sandy rebuffs his sexist comment, much to Hank's annoyance. As Hank walks away to check on some of the others, Ryder apologizes to her about Hank's comment and says he doesn't agree with his belief. Sandy tells him not to worry about it and that she welcomes sexism from men so she can prove to them how wrong they are. Ryder smirks and says that she's a very strong woman and he admires that about her. Sandy smiles and thanks him, adding that he's a pretty special guy himself. Ryder smiles back and they stare at each other for a bit, until Hank comes back over and orders them to continue thinning the walkers out, adding that they need to clear most of them out before the big herd comes through. Inside the storage unit, Paige and Mahiru meet Omid, who is revealed to be alive and has earned his way into the community without supervision, and tells them that Carver's community is the safest one he's ever been apart of and despite his authoritarian presence, he's really looking out for everyone and wants to make sure people are safe. Shel agrees with him and assures Paige and Mahiru that they'll come around and see it for themselves. Carver stops by to check on the "new recruits" and overhears Omid talking about his community and proudly agrees with Omid, and that if they shape up as well as Omid has, they'll be welcomed with open arms just like he was. Carver then leaves with Shel beside him and Omid's friendly face goes sullen. Omid tells Paige and Mahiru that what he said was just to please them and not what he truly thinks. He goes on by saying his people found him and brought him back here as manual labor for his "community" and not to expect things to turn out as great as he described. Paige questions him why he doesn't just leave, and he tells her that he "has nothing left" so there's nowhere else to go but to just accept it and do what he's told. Mahiru disagrees with his mindset and believes that there are better communities out there that don't force people with physical harm, kidnap or murder to do things. Omid doesn't respond to her but tells them to play their part if they don't want to end up like the people who did resist, and then leaves the room. Mahiru questions whether or not Kenny's plan on escaping will work. Paige assures her that even if Kenny dies, she'll make sure they escape. Outside in the woods, Luke peers out from behind the trees, overlooking Howe's Hardware. Luke thinks to himself how he's going to get himself inside without being caught, taking notice of the snipers taking out the walkers near the building. He notices the pile of cars that are parked specifically to block part of the road leading to the building and decides to walk down to them to keep hidden. As he makes his way there, a walker trapped underneath one of the cars grabs his leg and pulls him down. Luke struggles against the walker until he manages to kill it with his machete. A few guards signal that something made noise where Luke is and he quickly tries to hide underneath one of the cars as a few people walk over to the area. They find nothing and go back inside, casually talking about the new recruits. Luke notices their attention is preoccupied on each others conversation so he shadows them and sneaks inside the community without them noticing before they close the doors.
===="Chapter 69"====
Tavia radios Bonnie, who is still in the armory, and asks her to take Clementine to the greenhouse, which she agrees to do. Bonnie goes to the kitchen where Clementine is still working and tells her that she's being switched to greenhouse duty and to follow her. Once alone in the greenhouse, she finds Sarah cowering in a corner, still recovering from the earlier incident. Clementine goes over to attempt to comfort her and Sarah tells Clementine that her dad never hit her before. Clementine tells her that he didn't want to do it, and Carver forced him to do it. Eventually, Reggie enters the greenhouse, guided by Tavia, telling him to be careful as to not mess up this time. Tavia puts Reggie in charge of the girls and leaves the trio to their task - tending to the plants. Reggie teaches them how to do the chores; cutting blueberry branches, and shearing off any dead leaves for composting. Clementine immediately understands, but both she and Reggie notice Sarah, shaken and hesitant. Reggie asks Clementine if Sarah is alright, as he understands that what happened to her was hard for her, but doesn't want her to get anyone, including himself, in trouble. Clementine assures him that Sarah will be okay, and Reggie will leave the two girls to it as he goes to do his own work. Clementines prepares to start her work but notices Sarah, still standing nervously with the shears in her hands. Clementine decides to go over to help Sarah with her chore. In the infirmary, Carlos is checking on Rebecca, making sure everything looks and sounds good with her baby. Sarita, who is assisting Carlos in the infirmary, compliments Rebecca on how well she's been taking care of herself, and Rebecca thanks her, adding that she owes everyone else for that. Carlos is noticeably absent as the conversation between the two continues, and Rebecca calls his attention to ask him how he is. Carlos confides in both of them that he feels awful for hitting Sarah and wants to go find her and apologize to her. Rebecca assures him that Sarah will understand why he had to do it, with Sarita agreeing. Kenny walks in holding his hand and another guard, Vince, tells Carlos that he needs to look at Kenny's hand, who was complaining about terrible pain. Carlos tells him he'll look after him and he walks away. Kenny confirms that his hand wasn't actually hurting, but wanted to share information regarding the compound with them and on how they're planning on handling the walker herd making its way towards them. Rebecca wonders if maybe it's best for them to lay low until the herd passes, but Kenny and Sarita believe that staying in Carver's community any longer is not the best plan. Carver visits the greenhouse to check on the girls, only to see Clementine's work has not been done. Carver expresses disappointment at Reggie, stating that he has given him multiple chances and claims that he does not understand what is at stake. Reggie attempts to explain whilst babbling on his words, until Carver tells him to stop. He tells Clementine and Sarah to go outside so he can have a private conversation with Reggie. Clementine and Sarah walk out of the greenhouse, and Sarah anxiously continues to walk towards the edge of the roof, possibly contemplating the idea of jumping off, which Clementine picks up on. As Clementine approaches Sarah and asks if she is okay, they are interrupted as Carver shoves Reggie out of the greenhouse. Carver angrily exclaims he has given him far too many chances, as Reggie desperately pleads for his life. Carver grabs Reggie and holds him over the edge of the roof, and throws him to his death. Carver stoically states that weakness and incompetence will not be tolerated within the community, and menacingly tells Clementine and Sarah to think about Reggie's demise the next time they are asked to do something. Clementine is then told by Carver to go back inside to Bonnie, who has more work for her to do, while he stays behind to speak to Sarah, who is visibly shaken by the incident. As Clementine leaves, Sandy runs over to the edge of the higher roof and demands to know what happened. Carver angrily tells her to get back to work and not get involved in something that isn't her business. Sandy glares at him and walks away from the edge.
===="Chapter 71"====
On the way back inside, Clementine is ambushed and pulled into a comic shop by an unknown person. The person revealed to be Luke, who explains to her that he had followed them since they were captured, managing to sneak into the compound unseen. He goes on to state that he hasn't slept or eaten since they were taken, and is visibly pale and fatigued. He states that there are guards stationed all over the compound, watching all possible exits and holes they could use to escape. He then continues to mention the large herd of walkers nearby, and insists that they will eventually swarm the community, stating that it's bigger than any other herd Carver has had to face before. Luke then asks Clementine to get a walkie-talkie and meet him in the comic shop at about the same time the next day, intending to figure out the guard patrol schedules in order to pick the right opportunity to escape. He makes a clear point that they will not be able to simply shoot their way out of the compound, and that they'll have to plan the escape out thoroughly. Upon leaving the comic shop, Troy stops Clementine, demanding to know what she was doing inside. Clementine lies to him and says she was just checking out the comics. After a small exchange, Troy tells Clementine that Carver wishes to speak with her, and angrily tells her to go up to his office. Clementine arrives at the office just as Rebecca leaves, sobbing. Carver emerges, saying that she is a strong woman, but is surrounded by weak men, something he won't let his child be raised around. Carver then invites her to a chair and starts to explain his reasoning behind killing Reggie. He tells her that he liked Reggie, claiming that optimistic and light-hearted people like him are needed for morale, but that he was weak of both will and character. He states that Reggie has had a string of "screw-ups" recently, which have put the community in jeopardy multiple times. Carver explains that with the high risks involved with keeping a large group of people alive, incompetence and failure cannot be tolerated, as it has the potential to put everyone in danger. He goes on to state that killing one person in order to save many is one of the basic components of survival, but Clementine disagrees with his ideals. Carver claims that it is a decision that weak people are not able to make, and so it falls to the strong people– people like himself– to make the hard decisions in order to protect the weak. He explains that he and Clementine are much alike, noting Clementine's extraordinary resilience, courage and willpower. Clementine boldly states that she wishes Kenny had killed him back at the lodge and Carver praises her for her courage in telling him off, citing it as "all the proof" he needs. He proposes that Clementine already realizes the similarities between them, but isn't comfortable with them yet, believing that there is no way she would have survived as long otherwise. He recounts his first meeting with Clementine, telling her that while he knew she was scared, she was able to keep her nerve, impressing him. He states that the next generation of survivors need people like Clementine in order to survive. He refers to Clementine as a child raised "the right way," the way his child will be raised. He expresses that he has had worries about who he would hand off his legacy to, but now that Clementine is around, he no longer has anything to worry about. Clementine corrects him that it's Alvin's child and not his. Carver states that even if it was Alvin's, it's his now. Carver is then interrupted by a call from Tavia. She tells Carver that Troy backed into the loading bay door when they brought the group in, and that it is damaged so that it won't close all the way. She states that it isn't anything to be overly worried about, and advises Carver to have someone take a look at the door in order to repair it. In the middle of the conversation, Clementine eyes the microphone and PA system in his office, making note of it. Carver, annoyed over Troy's recklessness, tells Clementine to head back out to the pen, as it is almost time for supper. Outside in the pen, the group is discussing how they can escape. Javier criticizes Kenny's plan, which consists of drawing the herd to the compound, and escaping in the middle of the ensuing chaos. Sandy, Nick, Carlos and Ryder agree that Kenny's idea is extremely impractical and could get everyone killed. Clementine is returned to the pen and joins in on the conversation, telling everyone that she ran into Luke and brings up Luke's plan of monitoring the guards to pick a time to escape. Rebecca says that Luke's plan is the one she votes for, as it's the safer and smarter alternative. Kenny argues against it, noting the amount of time that it could potentially take. Kenny goes back to his plan once more, stating that all they need is something that can make enough noise to draw the attention of the approaching herd. Sarita believes that Kenny's idea to get out may be the best, but agrees that using walkers as the catalyst makes her uneasy as well. Javier mentions the various speakers around the building, specifically the ones pointed towards the parking lot. Clementine mentions that she saw the controls in Carver's office. Rebecca further supports Clementine's claim, stating that it is all controlled within Carver's office. Mahiru questions her how she knows of this and Rebecca informs her that she used to make most of the announcements when she was previously part of the community. She notes that the outside speakers are turned off by default, but if someone could sneak into the office, they could enable them in order to draw the herd towards the store. Kenny states that it's perfect, and questions why Rebecca didn't bring this information up sooner. She says it's because it doesn't change anything; the safe and sensible option is still to get Luke the radio. Clementine questions what they should do regarding Omid and wonder if they should tell him. Sandy is confused as she had not been informed that Omid was alive. Kenny informs her that Omid is a guard here, but he wasn't the same Omid he used to be. Rebecca suggests asking him if he could help since he was their friend, however, Sandy believes it might be best to just leave Omid out of it, believing that he's with Carver now. Kenny focuses back on his plan and thinks they could grab a few guns from the armory during the walker siege, but Sandy chimes in and tells Kenny that his issue is never thinking plans through, and it's always been an issue with him. After a small amount of bickering, the group will come to the consensus that both plans can work together; Luke can use the radio to monitor both the movement of the herd and the guards, using the information to pick the right time to escape, and to pick the safest route through the herd. They start to discuss the next problem with the plan: it would be impossible to pass through a herd of walkers without getting themselves killed in the process. However, Paige reveals to them that it is possible to pass through the herd undetected. Paige tells them before she met Mahiru and Ryder, she was traveling by herself for a long time. She found herself trapped in a store with hundreds of walkers pouring in and after she killed dozens of them, she collapsed on the ground waiting for them to kill her. The walkers, however, ignored her and she later realized that it is because she was covered in blood and guts from killing walkers and came to the conclusion that walker guts act as a camouflage to hide scents and they could easily pass through the herd with that method. Rebecca and Javier dismiss the idea as 'crazy', refusing to believe that it would work. However, Clementine confirms that Paige is telling the truth since she's discovered it too; Lee used the same method in order to escape the Marsh House. Agreeing on the plan, the group then works to figure out how to access the stock-room in order to acquire a walkie-talkie. Sandy says that she has a plan for that, saying that they can use the winch that she lowered earlier in the yard to hoist someone up to the roof, where they can drop down into the stock-room from the skylights in order to grab a radio. Paige volunteers to go up and get it, however, as they try to use the winch it starts to break so Paige immediately jumps off of it. Realizing someone smaller can only use it, Clementine volunteers to do it in Paige's place. While Sandy, Rebecca, and Sarita are vocal about Clementine not doing it for the sake of her safety, Kenny states that Clementine is the only one who can do it. Javier and Kenny help Clementine onto the winch and begin to lift her onto the roof, but are interrupted by the guards returning to check on the survivors. They both let go of the rope so that they are not seen, forcing Clementine to grab onto a nearby ladder and climb the rest of the way herself.
===="Chapter 72"====
Reaching the roof, Clementine spots a guard overlooking the parking lot, talking to Tavia over his walkie-talkie. He mentions the herd, which he estimates to number in the thousands. After sneaking across the roof, Clementine opens the skylight window over the stock-room and climbs down. Tavia is seen pacing around the room, still talking to the guard seen on the roof. Carver enters the room to talk to Tavia regarding the busted garage door and asks if it has been fixed yet, however, Tavia tells him they're still working on it. Carver instructs her they need to finish it fast before the herd arrives. After he leaves, Tavia grabs her walkie-talkie and continues to talk to the guard on the roof. As they discuss various topics such as the horde and the busted door, Clementine manages to evade Tavia's line of sight, and takes two radios from the charging station. Clementine begins to scale the stock-room shelves back up to the roof as Tavia reaches for a pack of cigarettes, oblivious to Clementine's presence. A guard, Vince, enters the room and chastises Tavia for smoking, saying that he won't get caught again being around cigarettes, with Tavia pleading with him not to tell. Clementine sneaks back to the group with the walkie-talkies, with many of them praising her for how well she did, specifically Kenny and Paige. Sandy, however, is uneasy with sending Clementine alone. Carlos tells everyone they should get to bed soon since the guards will be coming around. Sarah asks Clementine if she was scared going off by herself up there, and Clementine confidently says it was easy. Sarah is amazed by her bravery and wishes she could be the same. Rebecca is helped onto her bed by Paige and Mahiru who thanks both of them for being so helpful to her and the rest of their group. Mahiru states that they looked out for them so they'll return the favor. As everyone lies down in their beds, Kenny talks to Clementine about Duck, saying how he misses him and how he always remembers the dumb things he used to do, and how it gets harder each day to remember that he was a good boy. The next morning, the group tries to decide who should deliver the walkie-talkie to Luke, but are interrupted by the arrival of Tavia; Rebecca, Nick, Carlos, Sarah, Paige, Ryder, and Sarita are escorted out to work, leaving Sandy, Kenny, Javier, Mahiru and Clementine alone in the pen. Tavia tells them that Troy will be coming for the rest of them soon. After Tavia leaves, Sandy, Kenny, Mahiru, and Javier continue to discuss who should take the radio. Kenny insists on Clementine taking it, as he trusts her and believes that her size and stature ensure the best chances of not getting caught, while Sandy argues that she should take it, as Clementine is only a kid and shouldn't be pressured into something so dangerous. Mahiru and Javier both agree with Sandy that it might be too dangerous if Clementine were caught with it. Javier volunteers to take it himself, but Kenny states that he barely knows him and doesn't trust him to hold onto it. The bickering is cut short by the arrival of Troy, who makes a clear point that today will not be like yesterday; he will be keeping a clear eye on them the entire time to ensure nothing happens again, referring to the walker break-in, inadvertently complicating the plan. As Troy turns and commands the rest to follow, Kenny swiftly and stealthily places the radio in Clementine's pocket. On their way to work, Bonnie comes across them, telling Troy that Clementine is with her. Now separated from Sandy, Kenny, Mahiru, and Javier, Clementine walks with Bonnie, who says that she didn't believe Clementine earlier regarding Reggie's death. She went to talk to Carver after she told her, and he coldly assured her that Reggie's death was necessary, much to Bonnie's shock. Clementine is visibly anxious about having the radio in her pocket, and Bonnie asks if she is alright. Clementine decides to trust Bonnie and tell her about the radio and Luke's plan. She pleads with Bonnie to cover for her, and Bonnie reluctantly agrees to do so. Bonnie tells Clementine she should go over to the expansion and get to work and she'll talk to her more later.
===="Chapter 73"====
Outside the main building, Clementine enters the comic store to meet Luke, but he is nowhere to be found. Clementine shouts and looks for Luke, but after searching for a small amount of time, Troy enters the store, enraged, and slaps Clementine telling her she is not allowed to be in here and is forcefully escorted back to the pen along with Kenny and Javier. They are led back to the pen by Troy along with everyone else, where it is revealed that Luke has been captured by Carver. Carver expresses his disbelief over the deception, and how the group has repaid his trust and kindness with betrayal. He holds up the walkie-talkie confiscated from the rest of the group, and tells them that whatever plan they had is over. After giving a brief speech about how they can't simply run away from their problems and hardships, he demands to know where the other walkie-talkie is, asking for the thief to come forward. He begins to count to three, threatening further violence if the radio is not returned by then. Clementine attempts to speak up, but Kenny manages to grab the radio from her pocket unnoticed and takes the blame himself for stealing the walkie-talkie. Carver extends his hand, gesturing for Kenny to give it to him. Kenny cautiously approaches Carver, and drops the radio in his hand. Carver then continues his count to three, before beginning to viciously beat Kenny with the radio. Carver repeatedly bashes Kenny over the side of his head with the walkie-talkie, as Sarita and Rebecca desperately plead for him to stop. Sarita starts screaming and runs to defend Kenny, but Carlos restrains her, not wanting her to get hurt as well. Carlos asks for help in restraining Sarita and is helped by Javier and Ryder. Clementine decides to run towards Kenny, only to be stopped by Troy, who hits her in the face with his rifle, knocking her to the floor and giving her a gash along her face. Several of the guards, including Omid, look on in a polarized reaction of amusement, shock, and sadness. Bonnie eventually appears, pleading for Carver to stop. She continues to tell him that there's a breach, which gets Carver to immediately stop. He punches Kenny one last time, leaving him battered, bloody, and unconscious on the floor. Carver then moves out with the rest of his guards, telling Bonnie to stay behind and make sure the rest of the group doesn't get in any more trouble while he's gone. Carver also refuses to give the survivors supper as punishment for their attempted betrayal, before leaving the scene. Bonnie crouches down and inspects the unconscious Clementine before telling Carlos to stabilize Kenny and get him able to move, as she plans to help them all escape tonight, leaving everyone in disbelief.
===="Chapter 74"====
After a few hours, Clementine wakes up to the aftermath of the beating; Sarita is seen crying over Kenny as Rebecca and Sarah comfort her, while Luke, Paige, Mahiru and Javier speak with Bonnie at the gate. Rejoining the group by the fire, Luke reports that Bonnie will unlock the gate and free them from the pen as soon as they can get the PA system running. Mahiru adds that Bonnie can lead them to the armory to retrieve their weapons before they escape through the back. Rebecca is elated by the news, but Luke is less optimistic. Luke goes on to argue that leaving tonight is too much of a risk, as Kenny is beaten to near death, Luke himself is still suffering from an earlier beating from Carver, and Rebecca is almost in labor. Sandy immediately argues against the prospect of staying, believing that the best course of action is to leave before Carver can do something worse to them. Paige, Ryder, Rebecca, and Javier agree with her and support leaving tonight. Nick agrees with Luke that it seems too risky to move out tonight. Mahiru coldly states that he and Luke can stay behind if they want, but they're going to leave tonight. Eventually, Carlos comes back over to the group, shaking his head. Sandy asks him about Kenny's condition, and Carlos goes on to state that Kenny's orbital has been fractured, and that there is very little hope that he will be able to use his left eye again. While he cleaned the wound, got the swelling down, and did his best to bandage it, he cannot be sure of the extent of the damage until Kenny wakes up, but proposes that there is a very high chance that Kenny has suffered brain damage. Luke, playing the devil's advocate, regretfully suggests that if the group really wants to leave tonight, they may have to consider leaving Kenny behind. Sarita immediately refuses, but Luke insists that there is no other way; if Kenny does not wake up on his own, they won't be able to carry him out of the compound. Sandy is hesitant but believes if it's for the safety of everyone else, then it may have to come to that. Sarita states that Kenny never would have been involved in this if it wasn't for them getting involved with Carver. Paige tells her that playing the blame game isn't going to help anything and they should think about Clementine and Sarah's well-being. Suddenly, Kenny wakes up on his own and manages to stand up and stagger over to the group. Seemingly unfazed by his wound, Kenny states that the plan doesn't change; they still leave tonight. Sarita goes over to hug him, with Luke and Javier complimenting him on his resilience. Kenny proposes that they should decide on a meeting spot, in case they get split up during the escape. They agree to meet up at a nearby Civil War site called Parker's Run, which the cabin survivors had previously used when they first escaped from the compound. Luke mentions that all they need now is someone to go and set off the PA system to set the escape plan in motion. Realizing that she is once again the best choice to get into the office, Clementine volunteers herself to ascend to the rooftop once again. Sandy tells the group that all she needs is her rifle and she can pick off guards to provide cover. Mahiru also says she can do the same with her bow. As Clementine ascends the winch, Rebecca gives her instructions on how to turn on the PA system and the outdoor speakers, then tells her to meet the rest of them in the stockroom. After reaching the roof, Clementine carefully walks over to the skylight over Carver's office and sees him down there talking to one of his guards. Clementine is forced to wait for an opening as she hears the groans of walkers approaching the compound.
===="Chapter 75"====
Carver talks to several of his guards in his office about the herd approaching the compound and suggests turning off the generators so they won't hear the sounds. Tavia says the last patrol mentioned that they'll be closing in within the next ten minutes and should prepare in case they turn their attention towards the community, however, Carver believes they won't run into any problems and tells Troy to take keep an eye on things, then tells everyone to leave. Before everyone leaves, Carver gets up and leaves his office to stop Omid, asking him his relationship with the group in the pen. Omid asks him why he would ask, and he informs him that Troy mentioned to him that Omid traveled with a few of them once. Omid tells him that he's loyal to him and not them. Carver smirks and says he's glad to hear it and tells him to go back to his post. With Carver gone, Clementine drops down the skylight into Carver's office. After looking around, she finds the microphone station. Clementine turns on the microphone and the outdoor speakers, only to notice that there is no CD in order to play sound. Finding a CD, she puts it into the stereo system and turns up the volume, which begins to play generic mall music along with advertisement announcements. Clementine looks down from the office to see Bonnie, having heard the signal, heading towards the pen to free the group. Kenny gets up and tells everyone to be ready, with Sarita telling him to go slow, but he disagrees with her advice. Bonnie opens the gate and tells the group to follow her quickly to the armory so they can retrieve their weapons. Sandy asks Bonnie if she saw Clementine up there before she got them out, and she tells her that she caught a glimpse of her up there. Upstairs, Clementine pushes a filing cabinet over the door to prevent people from getting in, then quickly escapes his office through the skylight. In the armory, Sandy immediately finds her knives and rifle, while Mahiru makes a dash for her bow and arrows. Paige tells everyone they need to hurry before they're spotted by anyone. Bonnie tells them that the guards are going to be too scattered to come near the armory so they have some time. However, one of the guards comes running down the hall toward the armory. Bonnie tells everyone to hide and stay quiet. The guard enters the armory and begins searching the drawers, until Sandy gets up from her hiding spot and stabs her in the back of the neck with her knife, killing her. Carlos shields Sarah from the violence while asking Sandy why she did that when they could have just waited. Sandy coldly states that she wasn't going to take any chances with anyone's life. Luke agrees with Carlos that they could have waited, but Kenny and Rebecca side with Sandy that what she did was justified. Ryder exits the armory with Javier to look around for more guards then both signal for everyone to join. As everyone makes the way down the hall, past several other guards, they are separated by a few guards while trying to avoid them. Bonnie, Kenny, Sarita, Rebecca, Paige, and Mahiru find the warehouse where Bonnie tells them they can make their escape through here. Paige listens near the garage door and says she hears the herd just outside. Gunshots begin to fire off, and Bonnie tells them that the guards are fighting against the herd now and they don't have much time to pull this off. Russell and three guards run into warehouse, not expecting to see them all there, before any of them can have time to react, Russell is shot through the eye by Mahiru's arrow. Paige and Kenny soon shoot the other two guards, leaving the third one alive. He pleads for them not to kill him, but Mahiru fires an arrow through his skull. Meanwhile, Sandy, Luke, Nick, Carlos, Sarah, Ryder, and Javier try to make their way through the compound to meet up with the rest of the group. Javier and Sandy both silently take out two guards blocking their path. Unbeknownst to them, a third guard witnessed what they did and chose to hide from them. Once they go past him, he jumps out, grabs Sarah, and holds a knife to her neck. Sarah screams and calls for her dad, with Carlos pleading with him not to hurt her. He tells everyone to drop their weapons and he won't hurt her, however, Sandy tells him that they have the upper hand cause they have guns and all he has is a knife. Sandy threatens him to let her go or she'll shoot him. After a small argument, the guard lets Sarah go and runs off, before being gunned down by Sandy. Sandy looks at Luke and flippantly asks him if he can justify her decision this time. Luke sheepishly states that he would have done the same to someone who would threaten a child and apologizes for berating her earlier. In the warehouse, the group unshackles the chains holding the door closed when Hank enters the room and holds them all at gunpoint, yelling at them for attempting to escape. Just then, Sandy and the rest show up, with Sandy aiming her gun at Hank, telling him to drop his. Hank attempts to call her bluff and openly doubts her shooting him, but before he finishes his sentence, he is shot through the head by Sandy. Up on the roof, Clementine crawls through the skylight and makes her way across the rooftops, narrowly avoiding Tavia and a few of the other guards who are rushing to the rooftop to shoot walkers approaching.
===="Chapter 76"====
While Clementine tries to reach the stockroom skylight, she runs into Wyatt, who is shooting at the walkers approaching. He turns to see Clementine and tells her not to move. He looks behind him for a split second to look at the walkers, and Clementine rushes forward into him, causing him to fall off the roof into the swarm of walkers. Reaching the stock-room, Clementine drops down the skylight, only to find that Carver has located and caught the group once more, holding them all at gunpoint. He berates them over their decisions, claiming that he will not hesitate to shoot Rebecca and the baby should they attempt to leave again. Bonnie attempts to plead with him, but he tells her to shut up and won't listen to a traitor. Clementine jumps down from the shelves onto Carver's back to distract him. As he attempts to regain his footing, Kenny punches him in the face, while Luke moves in from his side to disarm him, and holds him at gunpoint. The tables now turned, Carver holds his hands up in surrender as the group contemplates what to do with him. Rebecca immediately tells Luke to shoot him. Paige and Mahiru agree, citing it as revenge for Arnold's death, along with the others he has brutally killed. Luke believes they should just leave Carver and the community to their fate, given the herd now descending upon the compound. Carlos makes note that the walkers will begin pouring in closer now and they should hurry and decide what to do. Javier and Ryder take off the extra locks bolting down the garage door, and tell the rest of the group that they can leave now. Sandy believes it would be a mistake to let Carver live. Before a decision is made, Paige abruptly shoots Carver in both of his kneecaps. Collapsing to the floor, Carver looks up at Paige and the group in surprise. Paige lowers her gun and says "he doesn't get a chance to survive." Kenny walks over to a workbench and grabs a crowbar, he looks back at Paige and agrees with her that he isn't going to, before telling everyone in a menacing tone to wait outside. Sarita attempts to convince him to leave instead of killing Carver, but Kenny refuses, stating that he only needs a minute. Luke, disgusted, angrily criticizes everyone's morality for letting Kenny do this, claiming that although there is not one part of Carver he doesn't hate, that doesn't make this right. Paige chastises him that he doesn't get a say in this, because clearly losing Alvin meant nothing to him as much as it did to Rebecca, and he wouldn't understand their own pain. Rebecca tells Luke to leave if he doesn't want to watch, but she's staying to watch. Paige, Mahiru, and Ryder also agree to stay behind and watch to witness justice for their fallen friend. Luke leaves the room, stating that he wants nothing to do with what's about to happen. Sandy asks him if his apology to her was just for show, if he is questioning everyone's morality over all the terrible things Carver has done, but Luke does not answer her and leaves the building. Javier decides to go outside with Luke, in case he might need some help outside. Carver continues to taunt the rest of the group, calling them ingrates, unaware of how good they have it inside the community. He claims the group are lambs to the slaughter, with no shepherd to guide them once outside the walls. He then weakly attempts to convince Clementine to stay and watch, while Sarita approaches Clementine, not wanting her to watch the horror. Sarita attempts to bring Clementine with her outside, not wanting her to watch, but Clementine throws Sarita's grip off of her, claiming that it isn't her decision to make. Carver praises Clementine's decision to watch, confirming his earlier beliefs. Sarita asks Sandy to convince Clementine, since she looks up to her, but Sandy merely agrees with Clementine that it isn't her decision to make and for Clementine to survive in this world she needs to be treated like an adult. Sarita silently goes outside with the rest of the group, minus Sandy, Clementine, Paige, Mahiru, Ryder, Rebecca, and Kenny. Carver tells Clementine to embrace her feelings of vengeance, as it is what makes her stronger than everyone else. Kenny looks over at Paige, Mahiru, and Ryder and asks them if they want to be the ones to do it, knowing how much Arnold meant to them. Mahiru and Ryder remain silent, while Paige speaks up that he should do it since Carver has disabled him and it would only be right, adding that being able to witness it is good enough for her and for Arnold. Carver then continues to mock them all. Kenny stands over Carver, presumably contemplating his decision. Carver continues taunting them, also implying that his sexual relationship with Rebecca was not entirely consensual, as Kenny cuts him off, delivering a severe blow to his face with the crowbar, breaking his nose and knocking him onto his back. Kenny then continues to savagely beat him to death with the crowbar, mutilating his entire face in the process. Satisfied, Kenny solemnly leaves the room, covered in Carver's blood. Paige sighs with relief and walks outside with Mahiru and Ryder behind her. Clementine looks at Carver's unrecognizable face with an emotionless gaze. Sandy walks over to her and tells her they should go, guiding her by the shoulders outside. Rebecca collects Carver's gun from his corpse, giving him a final spiteful glare as she leaves the room.
