Chapter 68

Chapter 68 is the fourth episode of Season 6: In Harm's Way of The Walking Dead.
==Plot==
As walkers begin to form outside Howe's Hardware, snipers silently take out a few of them on the rooftops. Troy leads Sandy up to the roof with some of the others and tells her to report to Hank, who commands the snipers on duty, and leaves to go back down. Sandy looks around the surrounding area to see dozens and dozens of corpses polluting the streets, and several more walkers still roaming the parking lot. Ryder attempts to fire at one of them, but misses his shots, prompting Hank to chastise him and if he doesn't shape up, he'll be put out to the pasture. Ryder explains that he's never been good with guns and took out walkers at a close range, but he is quickly shut down by Hank who tells him he needs to adapt if he's going to live in their community. Hank notices Sandy and introduces himself and his crew and hopes that she's a better shot than Ryder. Sandy confidently asks him how he's so sure she won't turn the gun on him, to which he laughs and tells her that his crew wouldn't let her have the chance to do so. After she's handed a gun, she effortlessly snipes several walkers with no hesitation, which impresses Hank. Hank belittles Ryder saying that "a woman is doing a man's job better", which Sandy rebuffs his sexist comment, much to Hank's annoyance. As Hank walks away to check on some of the others, Ryder apologizes to her about Hank's comment and says he doesn't agree with his belief. Sandy tells him not to worry about it and that she welcomes sexism from men so she can prove to them how wrong they are. Ryder smirks and says that she's a very strong woman and he admires that about her. Sandy smiles and thanks him, adding that he's a pretty special guy himself. Ryder smiles back and they stare at each other for a bit, until Hank comes back over and orders them to continue thinning the walkers out, adding that they need to clear most of them out before the big herd comes through.
Inside the storage unit, Paige and Mahiru meet Omid, who is revealed to be alive and has earned his way into the community without supervision, and tells them that Carver's community is the safest one he's ever been apart of and despite his authoritarian presence, he's really looking out for everyone and wants to make sure people are safe. Shel agrees with him and assures Paige and Mahiru that they'll come around and see it for themselves. Carver stops by to check on the "new recruits" and overhears Omid talking about his community and proudly agrees with Omid, and that if they shape up as well as Omid has, they'll be welcomed with open arms just like he was. Carver then leaves with Shel beside him and Omid's friendly face goes sullen. Omid tells Paige and Mahiru that what he said was just to please them and not what he truly thinks. He goes on by saying his people found him and brought him back here as manual labor for his "community" and not to expect things to turn out as great as he described. Paige questions him why he doesn't just leave, and he tells her that he "has nothing left" so there's nowhere else to go but to just accept it and do what he's told. Mahiru disagrees with his mindset and believes that there are better communities out there that don't force people with physical harm, kidnap or murder to do things. Omid doesn't respond to her but tells them to play their part if they don't want to end up like the people who did resist, and then leaves the room. Mahiru questions whether or not Kenny's plan on escaping will work. Paige assures her that even if Kenny dies, she'll make sure they escape.
Outside in the woods, Luke peers out from behind the trees, overlooking Howe's Hardware. Luke thinks to himself how he's going to get himself inside without being caught, taking notice of the snipers taking out the walkers near the building. He notices the pile of cars that are parked specifically to block part of the road leading to the building and decides to walk down to them to keep hidden. As he makes his way there, a walker trapped underneath one of the cars grabs his leg and pulls him down. Luke struggles against the walker until he manages to kill it with his machete. A few guards signal that something made noise where Luke is and he quickly tries to hide underneath one of the cars as a few people walk over to the area. They find nothing and go back inside, casually talking about the new recruits. Luke notices their attention is preoccupied on each others conversation so he shadows them and sneaks inside the community without them noticing before they close the doors.
