Welcome to Midway

"Welcome to Midway" is the sixth episode of season two of The Last Ones and the twenty-second episode overall. It was published for the first time on August 22nd 2016. 
==Plot== 
A violent altercation takes place between two survivors: one from Midway, one from Victoria, resulting in paranoia and resentment. Meanwhile, Peter and Angie arrive at Midway and reunite with their friends. Also, Drew invites several survivors to a nearby pub to blow off some steam.
==Synopsis==
Dwayne, one of Henry's men from Midway, spies on Victoria from a building overlooking the complex. He is eventually spotted by Jenson, who is on a watch-post in the complex. He rushes down and tells Steph, who was taking a late night walk, to take over. He then rushes over to confront Dwayne, who realises and hides. Eventually, the two have a fight, where Jenson gets the upper-hand. He demands Dwayne tell him who he is, but Dwayne knees Jenson in the crotch and runs away, leaving him to a small number of zombies who were lured by the noise. Jenson takes them out and then flees himself, angered that Dwayne got away.
Soon after, Jenson fills Alexis and Michael in on what happened. Alexis is frustrated by the news that some unknown group is spying on her, especially after they have just rid themselves of Eli. Jenson leaves after Alexis assures him he did the right thing by confronting the spy. Michael tries to suggest that the person watching them might not have been a threat, but she reminds him he tried to kill Jenson when he came looking answers. Alexis then asks for some time alone. Michael obliges.
Out in the countryside close to the cabins where Peter bid farewell to Lorna, he and Angie stop for the night to rest. He tells Angie that Lorna wasn't always that way. Angie persuades Peter not to judge Lorna too harshly as she's been through so much, and even though Peter has suffered the same loss with Milo's death, Lorna had nobody there for her. Peter comes around, and says there might be hope for her. Angie agrees and tells Peter he has to believe that. She then goes on watch and tells Peter to get some sleep.
In Midway, Henry welcomes Shiro, Aimi, Jai, Sean, and Javier to the safe-town. They are amazed by what they see and they eagerly accept Henry's invitation of a guided tour. Just then, Henry is welcomed home by a woman called Elaine, who hugs him affectionately. He introduces them to the others and agrees to see her later. After she departs, Henry appears to worry that his old friends are judging him for being with somebody else so soon after losing Karen, he begins to explain that Elaine was there for him, but Jai assures Henry that nobody is judging. Henry also mentions that Shiloh is completely against the relationship. Henry then proceeds with the tour. As they walk off, Shiro comes face-to-face with Drew, and the two stare at each other for a moment before Drew extends his middle finger and walks away. Shiro smirks at this.
Close-by, Shiloh checks on Donna, who gets angry when he doesn't believe that she's fine. She storms off. Georgie then walks over with Beatrice and thanks Shiloh for saving her a few night's ago and apologises for not thanking him then. He understands, and states that she had just lost her friend. Georgie bids him goodnight, but is stunned and excited when Shiloh reveals that her friends are in Midway.
Henry shows Jai and the others a fenced-off area where Midway's tools and weapons are made. Just then, Waylon, who works there as a carpenter, comes out of his tent and introduces himself. Suddenly, Georgie appears and she and Beatrice have a joyful reunion with the group. Henry tells them all to go and get some sleep and says they can continue with the tour in the morning. Jai and Aimi thank Henry for bringing them to Midway, and he happily tells them they're welcome. As they leave, Henry tells Waylon that his old friends are good people and strong fighters and that they'll make great additions to their community. Waylon is glad and states that the current lot at Midway aren't exactly chummy. Henry disputes this just as an angry Donna turns up and demands to talk to Henry. As Henry leaves the workshop, Donna follows and demands to know why Dwayne was sent alone to monitor the complex in Summerlyn City. Henry explains that it was Dwayne's idea for him to go alone and that he agreed. Donna is still angered and claims that Dwayne will get himself killed. When Henry tells her to calm down, she walks away shouting "I’ve had it with you moronic fuckwits!" Tired, Henry retreats to bed.
Later that night, Sean, unable to sleep, gets out of bed and finds Georgie, who is also awake. The two chat for a while and Georgie says she hasn't been able to get her mind off everything, including Milo's death and how's that impacted Peter. She also mentions Bobby, who hasn't been seen since that night. Sean tries to assure her that he's OK, but Georgie points out they don't know that for sure. She then excuses herself to try and get some sleep. After she's gone, Sean spots Annette and follows her. He introduces himself and mentions he heard she's the chef. The two get to talking and immediately taking a liking towards one another. Annette tells Sean she would like to take the time to get to know him better. He feels the same. The two then decide to go and clean dishes together.
Also awake is Henry, who i approached by Elaine. She asks what's troubling him, but he insists he's all right. She mentions she thought his old friends being around would ease his mind. She then realises they must remind him of Karen. Henry apologises, but Elaine insists its natural as they were married for over twenty years. She then heads back to bed, making Henry feel guilty.
In Victoria, Bobby wakes Charlotte and the two head into the kitchen to chat. He tells Charlotte he likes her and doesn't want to leave her, she then guesses that he's decided to leave the complex. He confirms this and states he's going in the morning. He tells her he needs to get back to camp, as Angie must be out of her mind with worry. Bobby apologies, but Charlotte tells him it's all right. He then goes back to bed. Luke then appears in the kitchen and tells Charlotte he couldn't help but overhear. He asks why Charlotte can't leave with Bobby. She tells him she wouldn't be welcome, but declines to explain when Luke asks why. She goes to head to bed, but Luke assures Charlotte that no matter what, he will be there for her. She is touched by this. The pair then bid each other goodnight, unaware that Bernadette was around the corner, listening.
Back at Midway, Rachel scolds Drew who decides to leave for a walk. He ignores her protests that he stay and he collects a samurai sword he had stashed in bush. Just then, Dwayne rushes over, with dozens of zombies giving chase. He collapses by Drew, who leaps into action and begins taking out zombies. Rachel, who sees the chaos, rushes down to help. Henry and the other residents of Midway are awakened and many hurry down to assist. As the zombies are taken out, Shiloh and Drew help Dwayne up to the town to safety. After the threat is disposed of, everybody heads back upstairs, where Henry suggests they all all return to bed. Wide awake after the drama, Shiro, Aimi, Georgie, Shiloh, Javier, and Calvin agree to Drew's invite to a nearby pub.
Donna checks on Dwayne, who is in the care of Felicia. She demands to see him and she angrily confronts him when they come face-to-face. Dwayne points out that it appears she seems to care about him. She disputes this, and says she just doesn't want him ruining things for everybody else. She then walks away. Felicia points out that's the best he's ever going to get from her. Dwayne agrees.
Drew welcomes Shiro and the others as they arrive at the pub. Bickering ensues but Javier asks if they can put everything to one side and enjoy themselves. Calvin agrees, and gets in the first round.
Back in Midway, Annette and Sean agree that they've had a good time, even though they just washed dishes. They agree to do it again sometime. They then hug goodnight. As Sean heads to bed, Jai jokingly asks him what he's doing back so late.
As Javier plays darts and Drew spends time alone in a room adjacent to the main area of the pub, the others decide to play a game of I Never, where various secrets and facts are revealed, including Calvin being a virgin and Georgie and Aimi having smoked weed, whilst Shiro never tried it. 
In Victoria, Bernadette wakes Luke and angrily confronts him for promising Charlotte his allegiance. Luke defends himself and insists he hasn't done anything wrong. Bernadette accuses him of having a crush, but Luke denies this. Bernadette makes it clear to Luke that their group should come first. Luke accuses her of hypocrisy considering she got Derrick killed. He tells her not to bother denying it and then walks away, leaving Bernadette reeling. 
Back in the pub, Shiloh mentions that his Dad thinks he is messed up. Georgie denies this and tells Shiloh that Henry is proud of him and Karen would be too if she was still alive. Shiloh gets angry and tells Georgie not to mention her name in front of him, which causes Shiro to leap to Georgie's defense, but Georgie and Aimi tell him to back down, as Georgie can fight her own battles. They then get back to the game, but it quickly turns nasty when it's asked if anyone's ever killed a human being. Georgie admits to her role in Ken's death (after informing Joy when he wasn't paying attention and thus could be taken out) whilst Shiro comes clean about Sid, whom he shot after he killed Milo. 
Aimi tries to use the opportunity to discover who else Shiro killed, as he mentioned that Sid wasn't his first victim on the night it happened. Shiro refuses to talk about it, but Aimi is insistent. Angered, Shiro tells her that he didn't tell her about it as Ollie asked him not to: as he killed a person the same time Shiro did. Aimi is very upset by this and storms out. Georgie scolds Shiro for bringing up Ollie, and he also gets up from the table and walks away. Just then, Donna enters, peeved that she wasn't invited along. She and Shiloh get a drink whilst Calvin and Georgie decide to leave, after Calvin tells Georgie he likes her and would like to spend more time with her, and she tells him she would like that.
Shiloh and Donna, who are both annoyed at Henry for different reasons, jokingly toast to him when Shiloh raises a glass and says "To my dick of a father." Having heard this, Javier comes over and tells Shiloh that Henry seems like a good man to him and that he shouldn't speak ill of his father as he's lucky to have him. Donna tells Javier to go back to playing his darts. Shiloh warns her to be careful. Javier picks up on this and says "I get it. You’ve heard about me, I see? I’m the criminal… the prisoner. You think I’m some sort of monster who might slit your throat if you fuck with me?" Shiloh tries to assure Javier he didn't mean anything by it. Javier points out that his past is exactly that and he shouldn't be judged for it. He then leaves. Donna remarks he'll probably kill them in their sleep.
Shiro approaches Drew, who asks if the fun and games are over. The two realise they have similar attitudes when it comes to people. Drew states he wasn't always this way and used to be the life and soul of a party. Shiro states that he was different, and that he's never been a people person. Drew lies down and says "I'll nap to that."
Back in Midway, Georgie asks Aimi if she's OK. She says she's fine and just wants to sleep. She leaves. Javier then comes over, angered by Donna's attitude. Calvin says he can't make excuses for her as she's awful. The trio agree to get some sleep.
The following morning, Peter and Angie continue on their way to Midway. Peter remarks that Angie is quiet. She admits she's thinking about Bobby. She asks Peter if he's excited to see Beatrice. He claims he doesn't feel like he's going to, as he's so used to things going wrong. The two spot Midway and are amazed by what they see. They soon arrive and are welcomed by Henry. Eventually, Henry discovers via Rachel about several of the survivors going out to get drunk the night before. Meanwhile, Peter is thrilled when he spots Beatrice with Sean and Jai. He emotionally embraces his daughter. He then goes to wake Shiro and the others, only to find them hungover and refusing to get out of bed. An irritated Henry enters, and demands that everybody come outside immediately.
In Victoria, Michael asks Alexis how she feels about Bobby leaving. Alexis reveals that Jenson is going to follow Bobby back to the survivor's camp, so that they have the location, which will put them on even footing with Peter's group. Michael asks if that's all she has planned. Alexis reveals she gave Jenson permission to shoot and kill the man (Dwayne) who was spying on them the night before should he be there. Michael is furious, even after Alexis explains herself by saying that she made it clear to Peter and co that she was to be left alone. Michael points out that killing the man could start a war. Alexis says "a war they started."
Close-by, Bobby says farewell to Charlotte, who is sad to see him go. The two hug before he leaves and they both say they'll miss each other. Once he's gone, Luke asks Charlotte if she's OK. She tells him she has to be. 
In Midway, Peter, Beatrice, Angie, Sean and Jai watch from afar as Henry scolds Shiloh, Donna, Shiro, Aimi, Georgie, Javier, and Calvin for getting drunk, which he describes as counter-productive and idiotic. When Shiloh and Donna argue back, Henry shuts them both down and makes it clear he won't tolerate disrespect. He then walks away, telling the group to get their priorities straight. Shiro tries to talk to Aimi, but still annoyed about the night before, she walks away. Angie approaches Javier and tells him that Bobby is still missing. He reaches out to her and says "I know."
Sean approaches Annette, who is sitting and talking with Rachel. Annette rudely rebuffs Sean's attempt to talk and makes it clear she was in a conversation with Rachel. A hurt Sean apologises and leaves. Rachel tells Annette she was harsh and tells her that pushing people away will get her no where.
Henry has a catch-up with Peter and Angie, where he informs them that not only is Charlotte in Victoria, but that Bobby is with her. Angie is adamant they go and get him, but Henry tells her about the fight between Dwayne and Jenson and suggests they wait a while due to the hostile encounter, which could lead to blood-shed should the two communities meet immediately. Angie is reluctant to agree, but does so. Henry also asks them both to keep this news to themselves.
Jenson arrives back in Victoria and reveals to Alexis that Bobby is heading back as the survivor's camp was abandoned. Nearby, Charlotte and Luke sit and talk, where Charlotte insists she's fine but she's just going to miss Bobby. Luke tells Charlotte he meant what he said to her the night before, and he doesn't care what Bernadette thinks. Just then, they spot Bobby returning to the complex and rush over to greet him. Charlotte apologies to Bobby when he reveals that the camp was abandoned and that the others are gone.
The following night, Peter approaches Angie, who is still upset about Bobby. She worries that Alexis or Charlotte might hurt him. Peter tells her they won't and that they will get him out of there. Angie asks if Henry's had any ideas on how to do it. Peter says he hasn't, but it's only been a day. Angie says she'll just have to be patient. The two then decide to get some sleep.
Shiro walks over to Aimi, who hasn't spoken to him in over a day. The pair apologise to each other and even though Shiro is willing to talk about what he and Ollie did, Aimi refuses to hear it, and says if Ollie wanted her to be in the dark, she should be. Having made amends, brother and sister say they love each other.
Outside Victoria, Alexis pays a visit to Vicky's grave and says that in spite of everything, she misses her. Just then, Michael comes outside and tells Alexis that she's being watched. The two turn around and walk calmly back into the complex. Alexis asks who was spying on her, but Michael says it was too dark to see. Alexis refuses to send out a group; citing it as too risky. Michael tells Alexis her visits to Vicky's grave are going to have to stop. Alexis states she only visits to stop people from talking, as the might find it odd if she didn't tend to her grave, and they may even believe the rumours that Alexis had something to do with her death, which of course she did. Michael tells Alexis she's unbelievable. She walks away whilst saying "On the contrary, my friend. I’m completely trustworthy." Outside the walls, Lorna walks away from the scene.
