== Plot ==
The episode begins with Troy, Jessica and Katie sitting aside campfires discussing their lives before the apocalypse. Troy correctly predicts that Jessica has a child based off of his instincts and social cues, and Troy admits that he has no home of any kind to return to. Following the aftermath of Jalen's reanimation, Jack, Reggie, Tyler and Shauna begin to start fortifying the building and preparing to start taking shelter in the warehouse permanently. After sleeping through the first night after the outbreak, Jessica and her new group begin making their way down the dirt road beside the highway looking for another vehicle before stumbling upon a few motorcycles and preparing to go after them. After finding a motorcycle, Troy and Jessica get swarmed by a horde of monsters before Troy rushes off to distract them, causing himself to split from the group after Troy tells them to leave him and tells them that he'll catch up. Troy rushes through the woods before stumbling upon a cabin built on a large mound of dirt away from reach from the monsters, which he briefly takes shelter in. Troy climbs into a tree nearby and throws a back pack filled with rocks across the woods before it crashes into the ground and alerts the monsters away, allowing for himself to climb down and escape back onto the highway. Back at the Foxwood Shipping building, Jack and Shauna split from Reggie and Tyler to begin looking for Shauna's brother Devon. After being stuck in an abandoned school, Jack and Shauna are held at gunpoint by a random person referred to as "the Man." The Man shoots both Jack and Shauna before fleeing and taking their car in the process as the building is overrun, forcing Jack and Shauna to retreat to a private school room and hide away from the horde. As Troy makes his way out of the highway, it is revealed that Jessica and Katie left him supplies buried under the motorcycle in order to survive.
