Season 5: All That Remains

Season 5: All That Remains of The Walking Dead.
==Plot==
===="Chapter 49"====
Eight months after the events of Season 4: Around Every Corner, Sandy, Clementine, Omid, and a visibly pregnant Christa are traveling, after leaving Savannah and moving further north into the countryside areas. Stopping at a public restroom next to Gil's Pitstop, Omid and Christa are discussing the names for the unborn child with Omid wanting to name it after one of them, which Christa disagrees with. When they stop, Sandy tells them she will scout out the area for any looters and urges them not to take to long, while Omid tells Clementine to call for them if she needs any help.
After heading into the second restroom, Clementine puts her gun down and begins to clean herself up but accidentally drops her bottle of water and heads into a stall to retrieve it. After retrieving it, she hears someone coming in. Having left her gun by the sink, Clementine stays in the stall as the stranger, Michelle, retrieves the weapon. However, Clementine accidentally makes a noise, causing Michelle to coax her out at gunpoint and demand that Clementine hands over her possessions. Sandy continues to walk around near the truck stop, scouting out a few walkers and quickly dispatches them. Christa exits the other restroom, talking to Omid as she exits while he cleans a few clothes in the sink and overhears the robber's voice and realizes what is going on. Christa slowly enters the restroom and signals to Clementine to stay quiet as Christa takes a stealthy approach and sneaks toward Michelle, however the door closes unexpectedly, causing Michelle's reflexes to turn and shoot Christa. Christa clutches her chest and collapses on the ground. Sandy and Omid quickly burst in, while Michelle immediately drops the gun and apologizes profusely. Before Michelle can speak any further, Sandy shoots her in the head, as Omid runs to Christa and cradles her. Omid begins breaking down as Christa lays dying in his arms. Christa calmly whispers that she'll always be with him before she passes away. Sandy goes over to comfort the visibly upset Clementine, as Omid cries over his deceased girlfriend and their unborn child. Sandy goes over to Omid and apologizes for what happened, and tells him what they need to do now. Omid tearfully says he can't do it, and Sandy offers to put shoot Christa before she reanimates. Before Sandy can raise her gun, Omid asks her for her rifle. Sandy pauses for a moment, then hands Omid the rifle. He lays Christa down and drapes a small cloth over her head and fires the gun.
Outside in the forest, Sandy digs a grave for Christa as Omid sits with his head in his lap as Clementine watches Sandy. Clementine softly cries and tells Sandy it was her fault. Sandy looks at her and rests her hand on Clementine's head and tells her it wasn't her fault, explaining that it's her own fault for not keeping lookout, saying she got too comfortable. As Sandy finishes burying Christa, Omid gets up and sits beside the grave without saying a word.
===="Chapter 50"====
The episode spans to sixteen months later, where Sandy, Clementine, and Omid are somewhere in North Carolina. Clementine and Omid are sitting around a campfire in an attempt at cooking a weasel they caught and killed earlier on. Evidently, in an aggressive mood, Omid tries to stoke the fire to keep it going but declares the wood is too wet to burn. Clementine asks if he needs help, but he turns her request down. Sandy returns to the camp with twigs and leaves, much to Omid's irritation. Sandy chastises his remark by telling him he can go search for something better if he wants. As Sandy tries to ready the fire once again, she debates on whether or not their campsite is as safe as they say, adding that they cannot trust anyone anymore. Omid looks over a map and says Wellington, a potential safe haven, is probably their best bet for survival, however, Sandy believes that Wellington is nothing but an old rumor. Soon Sandy and Omid head off to look for more firewood, whilst Clementine's left to tend the fire. Omid makes a brisk pace toward the separate path as Sandy continues down another one, looking up at the night sky.
Clementine begins to search through her backpack and eventually finding a lighter which she uses to tend to the fire. After fueling it with a nearby log and some old newspapers, Clementine hears a noise not far from the camp and goes to investigate. She eventually finds Omid being held at gunpoint by three bandits, who demand to know whether or not there is anyone with him. Omid tells them he's alone, but they don't believe his claims. One of the bandits gets fed up with the lack of information and aims his gun at Omid, however Sandy snipes the bandit through the head. Clementine uses the opportunity to throw a rock at the bandit behind Omid and tells him to run. Omid rushes off into the forest as the bandits attempt to take cover from Sandy. Winston, one of the other bandits, chases after Clementine and attempts to restrain her, though she's able to break free by pushing Winston into the reach of a nearby walker, which then grabs and eventually kills him while Clementine is approached by several other walkers which emerge from the woods. Sandy, who is chasing after Winston to save Clementine from him gets caught in a small herd of walkers and tries to fight them off, but is forced to go around them. Backing away in fear, Clementine falls into a nearby river and is taken downstream by the current until she passes out. Sandy comes up upon the scene to find Winston being devoured and Clementine to be nowhere. Sandy calls out for her but is forced to run away.
===="Chapter 51"====
After losing track of Clementine and Omid, Sandy travels down the river to try and find one of the two. She finds a small fishing shack out near the river and explores it, finding a canoe on one of the top shelves. Sandy uses a stool to look up over the stool, but the shelving collapses and traps her underneath the boards. A small herd of walkers nearby hear the sound and make their way toward the shack. Sandy tries her hardest to free herself, to no avail, and hears the walkers getting closer. Sandy frees her leg from the canoe and kicks apart from the boards on top of her and gets herself free before one of the walkers can grab her. She pulls out her gun and shoots a few of them before pulling out her knife to finish them all off. After she kills the walkers, Sandy decides to cross the river using the canoe.
As darkness falls, Sandy kills a few more walkers in her path, calling out for Clementine and Omid. With no one answering, Sandy finally stops and rests against a tall tree. "You need to stop. You're gonna get yourself killed if you don't rest." a voice says. Sandy looks around and sees Meg standing beside the tree. Sandy is stunned, but shakes off the shock and tells herself that she's seeing things. Meg agrees with her that she is seeing things, but knows that she believes that she should rest. Meg recalls a time when they were kids where Sandy stood up to a bully when she wasn't brave enough to do it herself and tells her she's always admired that about her. Sandy, tearing up from her words, asks her why she's there. Meg tells her that she's there because she's still blaming herself for what happened, and tells her that she made the choice to use again and paid the price. Meg explains that in the end, it was better the way it worked out and asks Sandy if she would rather see her alive or at peace, away from the current world. Meg sits beside her and tells her that she doesn't hate her, and to finally let go of that self-hatred Sandy has for herself for not being able to save her. Sandy confides in her that she's scared and that for the first time she feels truly alone. Meg tells her she's not alone and she's watching her back, always. Sandy looks over to Meg and she's no longer there. With her words still on her mind, Sandy falls asleep.
===="Chapter 52"====
Gunshots are fired as Omid attempts to run from Victor, who is still chasing after him. Omid ducks behind a tree and tries to wait for Victor to run the other way. However, Victor searches the tree he's behind and smacks him with the gun. Omid manages to knock Victor off his feet by kicking his shin. Victor fires off his gun, but misses while Omid grabs a large rock next to him and clubs Victor in the head with it. Omid continuously begins to beat Victor's face in until it is no longer recognizable. Out of energy, Omid collapses on the ground and begins to drift in and out of consciousness as he notices three silhouettes approaching him before passing out.
Clementine wakes up on the banks of the river, and after a brief trek through the woods, she encounters a dog named Sam, alongside an abandoned campsite which presumably had once belonged to Sam's owners. After a brief search around the area, Sam begins to bark at a walker tied to a tree with a knife sticking out of its arm. Clementine calms the dog and tells him not to be afraid, and she beats it with a large branch and retrieves the knife which is still sharp. There's also a trash can and, after searching it, Clementine finds a can of beans. After using the knife to pry open the can, Sam begs for some food. Clementine grabs a few beans out and hands them to Sam. Sam eagerly grabs the beans and knocks the can out of Clementine's hands, and after she retrieves it, Sam aggressively lunges at her, biting her on the arm. After grabbing a rock, she beats Sam multiple times until she successfully kicks him off, where he is pierced by a metal frame in his torso and hind leg from a damaged tent. Clementine, not wanting him to suffer, uses the knife to put Sam out of his misery and sadly leaves the campsite.
With Clementine's wound bleeding, she slowly begins to feel faint and ends up almost passing out from exhaustion in the woods, only to realize that she's surrounded by several walkers. Attempting to flee, she's almost overwhelmed by a walker only to be saved by a man with a machete with another man wielding a crossbow. The younger man grabs Clementine and they run away from the walkers. The man introduces himself as Luke Porter and the other man is introduced as Pete Randall, and he assures her they're taking her somewhere safe. Pete asks Clementine what had happened to her, knowing she couldn't have made it this far without help. Clementine mentions she was separated from her friends because of a few bandits. Suddenly noticing the wound on Clementine's arm, however, Luke drops her and initially assumes it to be a walker bite and begins to discuss with Pete over what to do, only for Clementine to tell them that it was just a dog bite. Still skeptical, Luke and Pete continue arguing if they should leave her here or not. Pete eventually decides to give her the benefit of the doubt and take her to their cabin, where she can be seen by their doctor. Again exhausted and wounded, Clementine passes out as Luke runs over to her.
===="Chapter 53"====
Clementine eventually stirs from consciousness only to wake up as several other people argue over what to do with her. Noticing someone with an uncanny resemblance to Kenny, Clementine is initially surprised and causes the individual, revealed to be Nick Randall, to become startled and accidentally fire off his gun close to Clementine's proximity, almost killing her. Luke comes outside from the cabin, trying to figure out what happened. A pregnant woman, named Rebecca, scolds Nick for shooting his gun, saying it could draw lurkers to their location. Nick fires back that she was the one who told him to shoot her. Pete tries to calm everyone down, along with Luke, and another man, Rebecca's husband, Alvin. Rebecca tells them they can't trust Clementine, not with "Carver" lurking around. Clementine says she has no clue who he is, and was just separated from her group. Luke brings out Carlos, a doctor, to look at Clementine's bite. Carlos examines it, and questions Clementine on where she would go after her arm is patched. Nick argues that she needs to be put down before she turns, saying he won't watch it happen again. Not long after, a young girl, named Sarah, opens the cabin door and questions her father, Carlos, on who Clementine is, but, she is told to go back inside by Carlos. Carlos tells them that he cannot assume if she is telling the truth or not, and decides they should wait to see if she'll turn or not, if she doesn't, he'll fix her arm up in the morning.
Ultimately the group decides to temporarily hold Clementine in the shed until the following day so they can see whether or not she will develop the fever usually associated with infection, despite Clementine's requests for her wound to be treated before it worsens. Clementine talks to Luke, saying her bite is not a walker bite, and he'll see she's telling the truth. Luke agrees that she could be telling the truth, but adds that it's just a precautionary solution. Luke tells her if she needs a blanket or a pillow to let him know before he closes the shed door.
===="Chapter 54"====
Deciding to find the supplies to treat herself, Clementine uses a hammer to break away a board blocking off a hole that leads outside of the shed. Clementine notices Alvin and Rebecca through the cabin's window, arguing about why he did not take their side with Clementine. Once she leaves, Clementine knocks on the window to get his attention. She then persuades Alvin to give her some supplies, and he also grabs her a juice box. After Clementine uses the hammer to get under the crawl space and into the cabin from a basement door, she eavesdrops on the group's meeting, she finds them still unable to decide over what to do with her. Luke is heard defending her presence there, while the others are still not too pleased. Pete also agrees with him that they should have brought her inside to treat her wound. Rebecca believes that Clementine is clearly lying, adding that a dog out in the middle of the woods is the "worst excuse I've heard in a while." Clementine heads upstairs to acquire the necessary resources from the various rooms, including a roll of rags from the main bedroom to serve as a makeshift bandage. Whilst in the bathroom, she's able to acquire a needle but is forced to hide after hearing someone approaching, and notices Rebecca in a visibly distressed state, worriedly talking to herself about the identity of her baby's father before leaving. Clementine then heads into the other bedroom, only to notice that Sarah is inside and has discovered her. Despite this, she willingly offers her help to Clementine and displays a friendly interest in her, curious as to whether or not she's her friend. Regardless, she offers a bottle of peroxide normally used by her dad to treat her when she's injured to Clementine and asks that she doesn't tell anyone that she helped her. Sarah also asks Clementine to be her friend, since she's never met another girl her age, to which Clementine promises. Heading back to the shed, Clementine painfully disinfects her wound with the peroxide before using the needle and some fishing wire to suture her wound shut, only to accidentally drop the roll of rags near the hole in the wall. Reaching down to grab it, she's suddenly attacked by a walker which had been attracted by her cries of pain and grabs her by the foot, breaking its way through the hole in the process. Climbing atop her, the walker attempts to bite Clementine, but is knocked back after Clementine hits it with a brick, before she's able to use a rake to push it back and impale it onto a nearby anchor. Before it is able to pull itself free, Clementine quickly grabs the hammer and begins to bludgeon the walker over the head with it, just as the others burst into the shed after hearing the noise.
After briefly arguing among themselves, Clementine's allowed into the cabin with them where her wound's examined and bandaged by Carlos. Carlos then says Clementine should stay away from his daughter, Sarah. Clementine apologizes and adds that she just needed help. Carlos accepts her apology, and tells her not to make any more mistakes. Luke then comes in immediately after Carlos leaves with some food, who appears to have changed his previously skeptical attitude towards her. The two make conversation, where Clementine confides in him about her past and mentions Lee, including the lessons he passed onto her. Nick soon enters the room to apologize to Clementine for his earlier outburst against her, and it's revealed by Luke that Nick's mother had been previously killed by a bite victim they had allowed into the group. Nick then leaves while Pete comes in and says something about the place being lit in the middle of the woods making Luke saying it's time to turn in anyways. Pete also says they're going out to fish in the morning. Rebecca also turns up and warns that Clementine shouldn't get too comfortable around the group.
Out in the forest, Sandy keeps herself hidden from a large group of walkers by hiding away in the bushes. As soon as they pass, Sandy gets out and looks over a map of what appears to be the area she is in. Before long, a gunshot is heard and Sandy decides to go investigate the sound. She arrives in a small clearing where she notices four people fighting against the group of walkers that passed by her earlier. One of the men loses his footing and falls to the ground with a walker about to descend upon him. Sandy uses her rifle to shoot the walker before it can bite him and helps the group clear out the surrounding walkers. A woman with a curved dagger raises her hands and tells Sandy that they aren't going to fight her and were just passing through. Sandy looks to the right of the woman to see another woman aiming a bow at Sandy's direction, most likely in case Sandy turned out to be hostile. Sandy exits the cover of the trees and tells them she isn't a raider and thought they needed help. The woman with the dagger thanks her and introduces herself as Paige then introduces her friends; Mahiru, Ryder, and Arnold. Ryder thanks Sandy for saving him from the walker and compliments her sharpshooting. Paige questions her if she's by herself, and Sandy reluctantly tells her that she is. Mahiru asks her if she lost anyone recently, noticing her expression being asked. Sandy explains that she lost her friends and she's just trying to figure out what to do next. Paige apologizes and offers Sandy to join them, saying she has a good "bullshit detector" and can tell Sandy is being honest. Sandy is unsure of her offer, but Paige tells her that she isn't forcing her and it's her choice. As the four of them grab some of their things, Paige waves, and thanks her again for the help. Sandy tells her that she'll go with them and follows behind them.
===="Chapter 55"====
The following day, Clementine and Pete are seen out in the woods on a fishing trip where Pete talks about Nick's childhood. Nick soon catches up with them and displays annoyance at one particular story being told, though Clementine attempts to defuse the situation. As Nick walks away, Pete tells Clementine that he loves him, but believes he has to be tough to help him grow as a person. Arriving at the river, they are met with the sight of several fresh corpses scattered across the banks, and Pete briefly mentions that an individual referred to as Carver may have been responsible for it, and decides to investigate the scene for any clues as to who is responsible for it. Whilst searching, Clementine discovers her backpack she had lost was washed ashore and goes over to reach it. When she's too far away to reach for it, she uses a rock to dislodge the backpack from the rock and grabs it as it floats by her.
Pete is suddenly attacked and bitten on the leg by a walker before he managed to shoot and kill it. Nick asks what had happened, to which he claims that he had merely lost his footing. Clementine notices the bite on his calf at the same time that a number of walkers attack Nick. Limping away from an incoming walker, Pete shouts for both of them to reach him, though Nick argues that he has the ammunition and cannot stop shooting, telling Pete to get back to him. Clementine runs to Nick, she dodges around a walker and reaches him safely. Pete, however, is cornered by two walkers and killed. Nick, horrified, kills the walkers, but is too late to save Pete. Clementine tells him that they have to go, but he angrily demands to know why she didn't help Pete. The episode then ends with Clementine and Nick quickly fleeing into the woods.
===="Chapter 56"====
The episode starts with walkers pounding against the doors of the shed that Clementine and Nick are located in. After struggling to keep the door closed, Nick finds a crate that he uses to block the door of the shed, and Clementine will begin to search around. Clementine questions Nick on what they should do, but he ignores her, mainly due to his state of depression from losing his uncle. When Nick finally speaks, he asks her why she saved him and not his uncle. Clementine tells him that she saw Pete was bitten and there was no way to help him. After moving a large piece of plywood Clementine discovers some jars, to which Nick identifies are filled with whiskey. The two spend the night inside, but Clementine is awoken by Nick throwing the jars at the walls. Nick, in a drunken state, questions why they're bothering to stay alive with how the world is now. He tells Clementine he had to kill his mom. He goes on by talking about Luke, saying how he always envied the way he could move on from things, and about how they were in a business together. He continues by saying Luke always seemed to get what he wanted, more or less. He says he was never good with people, and says sometimes he felt like Luke was his friend because he felt sorry for him. Nick hands Clementine a jar of whiskey, and asks her to share a drink with him, noting it will be her first and last. Clementine grabs it and takes a sip, only to cough it back up, which makes Nick chuckle. Clementine tells Nick that he's saying those things because he's drunk, and that Luke and the others care about him, and wouldn't want him dying for something stupid like this. Clementine eventually manages to convince Nick to leave with her, only for the two to be cornered by walkers. Nick tells her to run away while he holds them off.
Sandy sits by a campfire as Arnold hands her a small bowl of soup. Arnold jokes and says he's their own personal chef and he made his specialty. Mahiru jests by saying he cooks it with flesh from the walkers, which Arnold waves off jokingly. Sandy asks them how long they've been traveling together, and Ryder sits down next to her and tells her they were in a community before and that's how they all met, adding it was a small community but it worked until they were attacked by a group of bandits. Paige says she tried to make their leader see reason to amp up the security within the community but decided against it and that they were most likely the only ones to escape. Sandy offers her condolences on their misfortunes and tells them she had a similar thing happen with her old group in a motor inn, and everyone slowly started dying off after. Ryder asks her if that was how she got the scar on her eyebrow, but Sandy tells him she had gotten the scar before she lost her group, shortly after the apocalypse began and that she doesn't really like looking at it much. Ryder tells her he thinks it looks cool and she's still pretty to him. Although a bit hesitant, Sandy thanks him for the compliment. Paige asks Sandy if she thinks her two friends she was traveling with are still alive or not, however, Sandy is unsure how to answer and hopes that they are still alive. Paige tells her that she's welcome to stay with their group for as long as she wants. Mahiru says that since Sandy got the all-clear from the "boss lady" then it's set in stone. Paige tells Sandy, and reminding Mahiru, that she isn't the leader and doesn't feel comfortable with the responsibility. Mahiru tells Sandy that Paige had helped them all get out, and they would have probably died if it wasn't for her and sees her as the leader of their group, to which Ryder and Arnold seem to agree with. Paige gets up and says she's going to go on watch and for everyone to get some rest.
===="Chapter 57"====
While scavenging the forest, Sandy kills a walker and overhears the sound of two men talking. Sandy quickly runs behind a tree into some bushes to hide from them. Unable to really make out what they're saying, Sandy attempts to move closer, but hears them trail off as she hears that someone in their group "found a cabin".
Meanwhile, after Clementine reaches the cabin, she meets Carlos and Rebecca sitting at the dining room table. They ask where Luke, Pete, Nick, and Alvin are, revealing Luke and Alvin left looking for them. Clementine reveals to them that Pete was killed by walkers, and she and Nick ran off into the woods, but lost him. Rebecca demands they go and find them and grabs a few guns to take with them, Carlos asks Clementine to look after Sarah while they're out, which she promises to do. Clementine watches them leave and goes up to Sarah's room. When Clementines opens Sarah's door, she will surprise Clementine by taking a picture of her when she opens the door. After a conversation, and agreeing to take a photo of Sarah for a scrapbook she was working on, Sarah reveals she also found a gun underneath the cabin. After pointing it around aimlessly, Clementine chastises her on waving it around carelessly, but offers to teach her how to use it. Once Sarah gets an idea of how to shoot, she sees who she thinks is Luke outside approaching the cabin and goes downstairs to meet him. However, she's quick to realize that it's not Luke, but someone else she knows, and is beset by a panic attack. Clementine goes to the door while Sarah is frozen in fright.
Before Clementine can lock the door, the man opens the door and begins to ask Clementine questions. The man snoops around the cabin, asks about the group Clementine is currently staying with, while trying to avoid some of Clementine's questions. The man claims he is looking for his people, describing them as the group Clementine is seeking shelter with. Sarah slowly sneaks back upstairs, and after he believes he hears something, he goes to check it out. He goes up to Sarah's room where she is hiding under the bed, nearly being caught. Before he leaves, the man discovers a picture of Sarah on the floor, which she had taken earlier, and smiles as he realizes his search has come to an end. He also tells Clementine that she has no idea who her people are. Clementine pretends that he has no idea what he means and the man tells Clementine not to trust the cabin group before leaving.
===="Chapter 58"====
Luke, Carlos, Rebecca, and Alvin enter from the kitchen entrance of the cabin where Clementine and Sarah tell them a man had been to the cabin. The group believes it was Carver looking for them. Luke and Carlos tell the group they will have to pack up and leave for the north, which prompts Clementine to ask them why Carver is after them. Carlos tells her that he is just a plain and simple dangerous man, and they had to get away from him. Luke then asks Clementine where she last saw Nick and she tells him about the shed. Along the way, Rebecca speaks with Clementine in a nicer tone than her previous conversations with her, but the group eventually comes across where Clementine was last seen with Nick. Upon opening the shed, Nick is seen laying on the floor. He gets up and asks Luke if he has any aspirin. "Nick, you asshole." Luke happily says. Luke helps him up and comforts him when he mentions Pete's death. Nick expresses sadness over his uncle's death, and Luke tells him that they need to get moving since Carver showed up. Continuing down the path, Nick asks Clementine if Pete had said anything before he died, and Clementine tells him that Pete said was proud of him.
The group eventually stops for a breather, and Sarah goes over by a stream to look at some flowers. Carlos tells Clementine, who was standing beside her at the time, that flowers have always made her smile. Luke goes over a route on the map and tells the group that it should be about five days before they reach the mountains. Rebecca adds that she doubts she'll be able to travel for that long. Suddenly, the group overhears a gunshot. Nick grabs his rifle and tells them to take cover. Just then, a small herd of walkers appear and attack the group. The group, minus Rebecca, Alvin, and Sarah begin to fire at the walkers. Sarah, in a state of panic, runs off, against Carlos' warnings for her to stay put. Clementine is almost overwhelmed by a walker, but is saved by Luke. Once the walkers are taken care of, Sarah is noticed to be missing. Sarah is shown to be running away from a few walkers and trips over. Sandy, Paige, Mahiru, Ryder, and Arnold are shown to be walking through the woods, with Paige examining her map and Mahiru using a compass. Mahiru comments that if they head into the mountains they can get a better idea of where they're going. Sandy tells everyone to stop, as she hears faint screaming. She sprints off to investigate the screaming with the other four behind her. Sarah pins herself in a corner while trying to avoid the walkers and is grabbed by one, before it is shot with an arrow by Mahiru. Sandy grabs the second walker and bashes its head against the tree. Sandy goes over to Sarah and extends her hand to help Sarah up. Sarah thanks them for helping her and tells them she has to find her dad. Paige questions her when she last saw her dad, and Sarah points in the direction she came from. While Carlos frantically calls out for Sarah, Luke warns him that the person who shot before will probably hear him, which an angry Carlos tells him that their own gunshots would be enough to blow their cover. "Dad!" Sarah calls out to Carlos. Sarah runs from behind the trees with Paige and Ryder following closely with their weapons down. Nick raises his rifle up, and Ryder tells them they're not gonna hurt anyone and were just passing through when they saw Sarah being chased by walkers. "Clementine?" Sandy says as she pushes past the others. Clementine is shocked to see Sandy and runs over to her and they embrace in a hug. Luke asks Clementine if she knows them, and Clementine tells him that Sandy was the woman she was traveling with. Clementine questions Sandy on Omid and what happened to him, however, Sandy tells her that she ended up losing Omid and doesn't know where he is. Alvin tells Nick to lower his weapon, believing them to be safe. Clementine introduces Sandy to the cabin group and Sandy also introduces Paige and her group to Clementine and the rest. Paige asks Luke where they were heading, and Luke tells her they were attempting to flee north away from people who were after them. Mahiru questions Luke further on these people and why they're after them. Rebecca explains they came from a community lead by William Carver and they chose to flee, due to how he was running things and the safety of themselves. Sandy questions Luke if he's somehow put Clementine in any danger due to their involvement in the group, but Luke assures her that Carver would only want him and his group and wouldn't interfere with taking anyone else. Sandy tells Paige that since she's found Clementine, she can't leave her behind and with people she's still unsure of. Luke promises her that he and his group aren't bad people, and makes a suggestion that they all travel together to the mountains. Arnold is supportive of the idea, along with Ryder, while Mahiru is unsure. Paige decides that they will travel to the mountains with them.
===="Chapter 59"====
5 days later, the group rests alongside a wide river while Carlos spots a large ski lodge and a bridge in the distance. Paige tells them she and her family visited the ski lodge when she was younger, and it might be a good place to hold up to rest. Rebecca supports the idea, saying she needs some rest. Sandy offers to go down to the bridge and scope out any dangers for everyone to make their way through. Ryder stops her and says she should take some backup with her in case something happens, to which Luke agrees. Luke offers to go with Sandy, along with Paige, who tells Mahiru to keep watch over everyone. Nick offers to go too, however, Luke suggests he stay behind and help keep watch, which annoys Nick who assumes Luke is coddling him over his uncle's death. Clementine also decides to go with them, against Carlos and Arnold's suggestions.
Sandy, Clementine, Luke, and Paige go to clear the path on the bridge. Along the way, Luke mentions that Carver may be after Rebecca, but will not clarify when asked by Sandy why he is after her. On the bridge, the four of them proceed to kill a few walkers, with Luke nearly falling off into the river, and Paige almost getting bitten, until Clementine saves her. Sandy kills a few remaining walkers near Luke and pulls him up. After nearly crossing, the four come across a man with a rifle who proceeds to ask them questions. The man lowers his guard believing they are friendly and offers them food, until Nick comes up from far behind believing the man would kill them. Despite their efforts to stop Nick, he shoots the man in the neck and he falls into the river.
The rest of the group crosses the bridge and they begin to argue about Nick killing that man. Carlos claims that Nick is coming unhinged at the moment. Alvin attempts to defuse the incident and support Nick. Alvin then asks for Clementine to search a small house for any food for Rebecca, who insists she is fine. Clementine talks to Nick, who tells her that Luke and Carlos are probably talking about how he's a danger to the group. Nick thanks Clementine for the support and goes over to talk to Luke and Carlos. After searching the house, Clementine comes across a hunting knife in which she pries open a chest with canned food in it. Alvin walks in and asks for the food for Rebecca and keep the knowledge of said food quiet from everyone else. Sandy goes over to talk with Luke, Carlos, and Nick, and tells them that they should get going soon, since that shot fired for a mile and the zombies or Carver would probably have heard it. Clementine talks to Sandy about the events that happened on the bridge and asks if she thinks Nick is bad, and Sandy believes he's a bit reckless but doesn't seem bad. After the conversation is over, everyone notices a small herd of walkers crossing the bridge and they leave for the large lodge they previously saw.
===="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.
