==Synopsis==
Happening not long after the events of the previous season the lives of the survivors and those within the city will never be the same.
==Episode==
Three Weeks later.
We open to a dusty morning, the city shrouded for a moment in thick fog before we zoom in and see things in a different light.
Soldier 1: Kepp the permiter secure, last thing we need is walker or maurders sneaking up on us.
We see the soldier; a member of the city armed police on the back of a truck while his men are spred out and guardian a group of workers. The workers are in the middle or building a wall... or rather repairing it. 
Cage: Watch the supports.
Cage is directing a few other workers in shoring up a beam while others work to weld it into place. In the background we can see Jacob and Michael working to help mix cement and other chores. 
Slade: Your getting a kick out of being in charge of this arnt you?
Slade has walked up pushing a wheel barrow.
Cage: Hey, when you've worked construction long has me you can lead a crew to and besides, experience keep people from getting nervous and twitchy. 
Slade: No argument there, you do want to miss a pay check to a bashed thumb or a walkers jaw.
Cage: Yeh, but besides there's plenty of work for everyone after the mess those thugs left behind.
We then have an arial shot and its clear that the bombs have done some substantial damage. If the city were an animal it would be badly wounded but, not beyond saving. We head down to the hospital where we see Amy at work; currently reading the boards.
Tobias: Thought you might fancy some company for lunch. 
Any jump in surprise and turns to find Tobias standing behind her with two packed lunches. The older man's arm is in a sling and he has an eye patch.
Amy: Tobias... how did you.
He points to his eyes patch.
Tobias: Check up and, situations aside no one really pays attention to a humble gentleman hobbling around.
Amy: You were dam lucky not to lose the eye, you do know that right?
Tobias: Of course but, to be honest I could have done without this.
He indicates his arm.
Amy: Just be thankful it was not a bad break.
She puts down some papers and turns to the wall clock. Nodding to herself she turns to a nurse at the station.
Amy: Tell Steven I'm taking my break.
Nurse: Yes Doctor.
Amy heads off with Tobias following with a knowing smile.
Amy: What? He's a work friend.
Tobias: Contrary to you opinion I was not going to say anything but...
Amy: But?
Tobias: In a world has strange as ours I wouldn't begrudge anyone happiness no matter how fleeting it might seem and, you my dear are well over due for some.
Amy absently rubs a hand at where her ring once sat; it was some time ago but the loss still feels fresh. Tobias smiles fatherly at her.
Tobias: I am certain wherever he is now you partner would want you to be happy.
Amy smiles back, taking a bag from him and looking inside.
Amy: Tamera's been spoiling you with her garden again?
Tobias: Not really but, the roof is a surprisingly good place to grow sage. 
They both enter the break room and we switch to the roof to find Nathan looking out on the city in thought.
Karina: I thought I might find you up here.
Other Nathan: He needed a think and I needed to stetch our legs. 
He turns and smirks at her before Nathan takes over again. Has Karina limps over. Its hard to tell at first what's up but, even with a cane she is struggling. Nathan catches her before she falls.
Karina: Fuck.
Nathan: you shouldn't push it, your still healing.
Karina: Yeh, well you know me, cant sit still for anything.
Nathan: I mean it, you could make it worse and your still getting used to it. 
He looks down at her leg. Karina just kisses his head and he looks up again in surprise.
Karina: Nathan it was just a part of my foot, not even the whole of it or even the leg and besides, the docs gave me a good replacement.
Nathan looks down again; this is hitting some ugly spots for him from the past and one in particular has brought him up here today.
Karina: Hey, look its ok, get why you dnt want to come to the appointment.... what it would remind you of.
Nathan: Its not exactly that.... its seeing you of all people in a place like that and......
She squuzes his hand comfortingly.
Karina: Come now, why don't you be a gentleman and help me down the stairs.
Nathan: There is a lift.
Karina: Well a lift isn't you.
He grins and helps her up and they head off and we switch to a darkned room; Moe's to be precise. The place looks abandoned at first but, has our eyes adjust we see the plates, takeout boxes andothr indicators of someone who has shut themselves away. There is a phone ringing that cuts off to allow for a message to be recorded.
Slade: Hey man its me again, just calling to if you in, i mean obviously your in and the super checked that you still had a pulse so that's not a problem.
We see Moe with his back to us looking at a wall; a spider chart whose content we don't see just yet.
Slade: Look, i said it last time no one is blamng you about what happend and we are all worried about you so do us a favour and drop by later for a game of cards.
A pause.
Slade: No gambling of course but hey, it might make you laugh to see Tobias take me to school.
He laughs to himself and we See Moe turn his head slightly, approaching the phone. 
Slade: Look i got to end this call now before i run up a bill but, please to us both a favour and turn up, we are all worried about you.
The call ends has Moe walks past the phone and out of sight; the sound of a shower indicating he has gone to the bathroom.
Wee see his board clearly now and its a spider chart of the who caused them all the grief for the past few seasons.
And its clear Moe has become a man obsessed has we fade to black.
