== Synopsis ==
John begins to fear that the numbers outside of the gates of the New World Order are becoming too much to hold off in the event of an uprising. They are reunited with Amy, a returning group led by Meghan entering the gates of the New World Order in disarray. Janice leaves the New World Order, going out on her own as John orders the guards to treat her as a docile survivor, not to be interacted with.
Cameron and Heather are left planning an escape to avoid detection from Charlotte or her guards. They leave through the back of the New World Order, only to be caught by Lauren and Tori. Cameron and Heather inform the couple that the remainder of the world has fallen into the same fate, run down and destroyed from the inside by the virus causing the infection. A flashback reveals that Lauren and Kelsey began dating a few days after Lauren was found by Tori.
Alicia, Franklin and Salem agree to make an attempt at departing North America in favor of flying out to Europe.
