===Season 5: All That Remains===
===="Chapter 60"====
After a few hours of climbing, the group reaches the ski resort at the top of the mountain and notices it is somewhat reinforced. Sandy offers to go around the back to look around for anyone holding up inside, and Luke attempts to climb on top of one of the ski lifts to look at the surrounding area. Rebecca sits down to rest, while Nick, Carlos, and Mahiru stay on alert. After Luke climbs up, Clementine follows him to the top saying that Paige gave her binoculars and she checks the view in case of any followers, she finds some lights flashing near the forest and the bridge. Luke looks down and sees Nick, Carlos, and Mahiru aiming their weapons and a group of people, and heads down the ladder while Clementine climbs down slowly. Sandy searches the back way and finds the door covered up by furniture, and hears the commotion as she attempts to move it out of the way. Despite not being able to see who they're dealing with, Clementine goes through the group to see Kenny, still alive, along with his new girlfriend Sarita and his friend Walter. The dispute is instantly settled after they see Clementine and Kenny reuniting with a hug. Kenny questions Clementine if the people behind her are with her, to which she confirms they are. Sandy comes up from the other side of the lodge with her gun aimed at them. Clementine tells her not to shoot, and Sandy notices Kenny and is shocked. Ryder introduces himself in a friendly manner to Walter, to which he returns the pleasantries. Rebecca asks if they could go inside, so she could rest and get out of the cold, and Sarita goes over and offers her hand to assist her. Sandy briefly hugs Kenny and says she can't believe he made it out of the alley back in Savannah. Kenny says he can explain more inside, and the three follow everyone else inside the ski lodge.
===="Chapter 61"====
Upon entering the lodge, Clementine is amazed by how normal the inside is, especially with the Christmas theme. Sandy questions Kenny and Walter if they had decorated the place themselves. Walter tells her about how they found it a few weeks ago, while Kenny mocks him behind his back jokingly. The rest of the group, minus Carlos, Sarah, and Sarita, enter and are wary of Kenny and his group. Walter politely asks them to put their weapons away. Luke and Paige express their concerns politely for that, while Nick, Mahiru, and Rebecca are less passive on it. Kenny asks Sandy and Clementine if they can vouch for them, to which Sandy says Clementine would know since she's known them longer, and she does. Kenny places his rifle on the ground, and shortly, the rest of the group follow suit. Carlos, Sarah, and Sarita enter, and Sarah makes a comment about the Christmas tree. Walter then takes the group up the stairs to show them their rooms, while Sandy, Kenny, and Clementine sit by the fireplace and talk. Kenny jokingly mentions Clementine's hat, and that he's surprised she's still wearing it. Kenny mentions Lee, which noticeably upsets Clementine. Sandy tells Kenny that Clementine was the one who put Lee out of his misery. Kenny apologizes, and she tells him that Lee saved her, and it was her fault he had died. Kenny, and Sandy, tell her that she couldn't have prevented it any other way. Sandy questions Kenny on how he even managed to escape from the ally back in Savannah. Kenny tells them both he managed to escape and was all over the place after that, lost. He holed up in some restaurant and was found by Sarita, and they've been together ever since. Kenny asks them what happened during his absence, and Sandy tells Kenny about Christa's death, and getting separated from Omid. Sarita comes over and Kenny formally introduces Sandy and Clementine to her. Luke, Nick, Ryder, and Arnold come back downstairs, and Kenny asks them if they could help him carry some firewood from outside in, which they agree to. Sandy also volunteers to go with them. Carlos and Sarah come downstairs, and Sarita asks Carlos if she could take Sarah to work on the Christmas tree, which he allows. Walter calls Clementine over to the kitchen and asks her how amazing it must be to see Kenny again, which she agrees. Walter mentions another guy in their group, Matthew, who has not yet returned. Sarita gives Sarah a box of decorative objects for the tree and tells her to place them wherever she wants them. Clementine goes upstairs to find Rebecca, Carlos, Alvin, Paige, and Mahiru talking about leaving or staying. Carlos, Paige, and Mahiru are leaning towards leaving while Rebecca wants to stay. Carlos questions Clementine on the lights she saw out by the bridge, and goes downstairs to talk to Walter. Rebecca asks Alvin to go downstairs to get her something to drink, and while he's away, Clementine asks how she's doing. Rebecca confides in her that she does not think she can raise her child, when she can't even take care of herself. Clementine tells her that it's possible, adding that she herself is still alive. Rebecca's baby begins to kick and asks Clementine if she wants to listen, which she agrees to. Rebecca's smile turns into a frown, and she tells Clementine that her baby is definitely not Alvin's, and says he will kill her if he finds out. Clementine tells her Alvin wouldn't do that, and he comes up the stairs with her drink. Mahiru looks over a wooden cross over the mantle over the fireplace and Paige asks her if she believes in the religion, to which Mahiru jokes that she would probably be burning in hell if she did. Paige stands beside her and asks her if it was ever difficult for her before she came out. Mahiru tells her that her parents were very traditional and had a hard time accepting who she was. Paige apologizes for bringing up the topic, but Mahiru assures her she isn't offended and is glad she is there to support her. Sandy is outside collecting firewood, when Luke stops her and questions her about Kenny. She tells him a short story about her journey with Kenny, adding that he "lost a lot." Luke says he thinks something is off about him, but can't quite come to a conclusion what it is. Sandy asks him not to test Kenny's patience, informing him of his short temper, and to keep his own suspicions to himself. Sandy believes Kenny isn't a bad person, but rash and reckless. Luke apologizes, saying he doesn't want Sandy to think he's going to cause trouble, adding that he wants her to be comfortable around him since she joined his "family". As Luke walks away, Ryder approaches Sandy and offers to help her with her share of the firewood, which Sandy jokingly asks if he's not confident with her because she is a woman. Ryder returns the joke, and asks if things were alright between her and Luke, also hinting if there might be something between them. Sandy says she barely knows Luke and isn't interested in him and asks Ryder why he's interested in knowing that. Ryder jokingly winks and says he wants to take a wife, then tells her he was only curious.
===="Chapter 62"====
Back inside, Walter has finished dinner, and Kenny's group sits at one table, while Luke's group sits at the other. Paige and her group decide to join Luke's table, while Kenny waves for Sandy and Clementine to join them. Sandy quickly decides to sit at Kenny's table, and with a second to ponder, Clementine joins Kenny as well. Kenny asks them about who exactly Luke and his group are. Sandy tells him that she only recently joined up with them recently, and tells him Clementine should know more about them. Clementine tells him that they're not bad guys, and she trusts them. Kenny offers Sandy and Clementine to stay at the lodge with them once Luke's group decides to leave. Clementine is reluctant, saying she would feel bad just leaving them. Sandy believes everyone should do what they think is best, but assures Clementine she won't leave her behind. Sarita and Walter get up to put away their plates, while Luke and Nick come over to chat with Kenny. Kenny asks them if they enjoyed dinner, and says they're better going in than out. Kenny asks Luke and Nick if they're some kind of "pair," which angers Nick. Paige and Mahiru walk over to the table, wanting to talk to Kenny about where his group was planning on going and Kenny tells them they were planning on heading out eventually, east to Richmond, Virginia. Clementine mentions to Kenny that Omid originally mentioned going north to a place called Wellington. Paige chimes in and says she and her group had heard about Wellington as well, however, the town itself was overrun and destroyed by bandits. Kenny confides he doesn't know what Wellington is or was, but says that Richmond has a nice setup from what he heard, however, Nick believes his information could be wrong, which irritates Kenny, and starts a small argument that begins to snowball. Nick makes things worse by verbally assaulting Kenny, until Walter comes over and stops it. Kenny asks Clementine to pass him a can of peaches, but accidentally calls her "Duck." Kenny gasps in response to what he said, and is shown to be visibly upset. Luke asks who Duck is, and Sandy tells him Duck was his son. Paige and Mahiru apologize for unintentionally antagonizing him and walk away. Walter then asks Clementine if she could help him with something outside. Walter takes Clementine outside and talks to her on how he believes the world is still salvageable and speaks of his partner, Matthew. Clementine begins to put two and two together and realizes that Matthew was indeed the person Nick shot on the bridge. After Sandy and Kenny join the duo, they see a woman peering into the resort. She reveals her name to be "Bonnie." They wonder if she is trustworthy or not. Sandy, Clementine, and Kenny believe she should be checked for weapons, however, on good faith, Walter ends up giving her a large box of food to help feed her "family." Going back inside, Sandy is called over by Luke, who is talking with Paige, Mahiru, and Ryder. Clementine follows Sandy over to them, where Luke reveals to them that the guy Nick killed on the bridge was Walter's boyfriend, Matthew. Clementine says she's sure it is as well, with how Walter described him. Ryder immediately suggests they inform Walter of what happened, while Luke and Mahiru are unsupportive of the idea, not knowing what Walter is capable of doing. Paige believes that Walter should know what happened and that perhaps Nick should be the one to tell him. Luke tells her she's crazy for suggesting it and doesn't want his friend to be put in danger. Sandy agrees with Paige that it would be good to tell him, saying that it would be a lot worse off for Nick if Walter finds out some other way and believes Nick to be a bad person. Nick overhears them mentioning his name and walks up to them, asking what they were talking about. Clementine grabs the photo Luke was holding of Walter and Matthew and hands it to Nick. Nick, feeling guilty, thinks he should tell Walter, while Luke berates him for wanting to do that. Sandy and Paige agree that Nick should tell Walter, and to just tell him the truth of what happened and it was only an accident. Luke decides to take Nick away to have a drink, while telling Clementine to retrieve the knife she found from her backpack, presuming it was Matthew's. When she goes to take it, Clementine finds it missing and that Walter has it and is standing on the porch inspecting it. Sandy decides to go outside with Clementine behind her, wanting to speak with him and he asks how Matthew died, informing Sandy that he knows Matthew is dead since his knife is there. Sandy apologizes to Walter, and says none of them knew who he was until he started talking about him. Walter stops her, and says he remembers Nick talking earlier about shooting someone, and asks if it was Matthew. Sandy confirms it to be true, and Clementine tells him that he is a good guy and it was all just an accident. Nick eventually walks up to them, and Walter begins breaking down, asking for Nick to tell him what happened. Nick apologizes to him and says it was an accident. Walter throws the knife away and the windmill begins to spin rapidly due to the storm approaching, making a loud sound that would lure in walkers. Everyone runs outside to inspect the sound, and Kenny instructs Rebecca, Alvin, Sarah, and Arnold to go back inside to fortify the place, while he, Sandy, Clementine, Luke, Nick, Paige, Mahiru, Ryder, Walter, Sarita, and Carlos go try and stop it.
===="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.
