Chapter 94

Chapter 94 is the third episode of Season 8: Fear The Stalkers of The Walking Dead.
==Plot==
With dusk approaching and the weather getting colder, the group stumbles across an abandoned power station, and Kenny asks Arvo if it is the shelter he is taking them to. Arvo exclaims that the shelter is a church that itself is a few hours away, a detail that irritates Kenny, who claims that Arvo has been lying to them. Omid believes that it might be a good place to rest up for the night, since it's protected by fences. Kenny hands AJ to Clementine, while he volunteers to go down and check it out. Omid and Paige then offer to go with him. While the three are exploring, Clementine calms down AJ, who starts crying. Mahiru compliments her on how well she's handling it and says that he seems to like her. Clementine says he's cute, and Mahiru tells her that most babies are pretty ugly when they're born. Javier chimes in agreeing and saying they look like "little aliens." Sandy is adjusting Luke's bandages. Luke thanks her for the help, and she says it's not a problem. Ryder asks him how his leg is doing, and Luke tells him that it's still hurting pretty bad, but he thinks he'll make it. Ryder reminds him to keep taking some painkillers to help. Luke disagrees and says that they're already getting a bit low on them now, but Ryder assures him to take them anyway. Soon after, Kenny, Omid, and Paige return and call the rest of the group to get settled at the station.
The group later settle around a small fire, with Arvo tied up close by, and Sarah standing off on her own near the fence. Luke states that today is his birthday, which the group congratulates him on. Mahiru asks him how old he is and Luke tells her that he's been keeping up with the dates since it all started, and says that he is 27. Sandy reveals to him that he's four years older than her through the casual conversation. Luke confides in them that he feels much older than he is, and receives a humorous dismissal by Kenny, who is much older than he is. Javier takes out a special bottle of rum which he had been saving for a special occasion. Omid is surprised by the type of rum it is, saying that he never saw it while going through the alcoholic drinks back at Howe's. Javier jokingly states that he has his ways. Ryder says that Clementine ought to have a drink too, but Kenny says that she shouldn't. Sandy, however, tries to convince him to let her take a sip anyway, saying that she drank an entire bottle of tequila once when she was underage and turned out fine anyway, but Kenny is still adamant about it. Javier passes it to Luke and asks him to make a toast. Luke decides to toast the loved ones that the group has lost along the way, and to the hope that they may see them again one day. Afterward, Kenny volunteers to take the first watch with AJ, while Clementine tries to coax Sarah over to join them, but she still refuses. Paige believes that Sarah may just want some alone time to herself, noting that the gunfight seemed to have upset her even more than she was. Clementine decides to get up and walk over to Sarah to check on her and overhears Sarah talking to someone. Once she gets closer, she overhears Sarah having a conversation with her father. Clementine asks Sarah what she's doing, and Sarah dismisses what she was doing and said she was just standing around. Clementine asks her if she wants to join everyone by the fire, but Sarah says she wants to stay where she is and thanks her for asking. Clementine leaves her alone to rejoin the others and is immediately offered the bottle of rum by Sandy. Clementine coughs violently after drinking it, and says that it wasn't as bad as the whiskey she shared with Nick. Luke jokingly recalls hearing Nick mention that she took a sip of moonshine whiskey once. Sandy then notices Kenny was watching and shakes his head in disapproval. Sandy grabs the bottle back from Clementine to keep her out of trouble. She then gives Clementine the bottle to offer to Kenny, saying he needs it too. Clementine heads over to Kenny, and he lightly scolds her about that decision of drinking. He then apologizes for his harsh reactions to Clementine about the drink, before going on about Katjaa and Duck and that he didn't raise his son as he should have and that he wasn't always there when he needed him. He states that he used to believe that he enjoyed the time away from his family, but that he would do anything to have one more second with them. Kenny then vows that he won't make the same mistakes raising AJ, before asking Clementine to return to the fire. Clementine tells him that AJ might be cold, and he should relax for a second. Kenny gets up and decides to join the others by the fire again, with Clementine behind him. Luke starts talking about one time he and Nick got into a small bar fight with a group of guys. Luke says that it was sort of their fault in the first place, and they broke a few tables, and he had gotten his front tooth chipped by one of the bigger guys there. Ryder laughs, and asks what it was they were fighting with them about. Luke tells him it was about a sports team at the time, then it went into more self-degrading insults. Paige rolls her eyes and jokes about men. Mahiru states she's glad she doesn't have to deal with men in romance. Being on the topic of alcohol, Ryder questions Sandy about her first experience of drinking tequila, saying he was curious how and when she did it. The others agree that it sounds like she has an interesting story about it. Sandy tells them that when her parents were out to dinner, she snuck into their wine cabinet and opened a bottle of tequila, wanting to taste it after her mom told her not to. Clementine says that it sounded like she was a bad kid. Sandy laughs, and says she was, and in some way, still is. Sandy goes on by saying at the bottom of the bottle there were these "sugar crystals" and she got it in her head that she wanted to eat them, so she got the idea of smashing the bottle on her parent's dining room table. "The problem with glass when you're drunk... is they look a lot like sugar crystals." Sandy says to them. Luke confirms his suspicions and asks if she actually ate glass, and she says she did. Everyone laughs at the thought of her accidentally eating glass, to which she tells them all to "shut the fuck up" while laughing herself. She tells them that Meg came in and found her sitting on the ground, drunk and blood pouring out of her mouth. Sandy says that Meg called the paramedics and she had to get her stomach pumped, and she was grounded for weeks. Omid chuckles as he takes a swig of the rum. Kenny jokingly points out that this is the first time he's seen Omid smile or laugh in a long time. Omid shrugs and hands the bottle to Luke. Luke, while drinking some of the rum, says how long it's been since he's had a drink, remembering the last time he had one was with this girl back at Howe's, and it "ended up being a very nice night." Javier laughs and asks for some details about this "night," while Mahiru says they shouldn't be talking about that with Clementine around. Clementine says she knows what they're talking about, with Mahiru hoping she doesn't, while Sandy says she does, so she won't have to censor herself around her so much. Kenny mockingly asks her if this is what she calls "censoring" herself around her now. Curious, Ryder asks her if she does know what they're talking about, and Clementine assumes it is about "kissing." Sandy, Javier, Omid, and Ryder burst out laughing, thinking it's funny that she indeed has no clue what they're actually talking about. Luke lies, saying that she's right. Javier asks if he knew who the girl was, and Luke says it was actually Bonnie. He goes on saying they had dated for a bit but decided to break things off when he first mentioned to her about leaving Howe's. Once Sandy is handed the bottle again, she hands it to Kenny, saying that she noticed he never had a drink and urges him to just have one sip. Kenny indulges her and takes a sip, thanking her for it, but says that'll be enough for him, joking that he'll have to "drive them all home". Mahiru says it's nice that they're all just relaxing and having a good time for once, saying it's been a long time since she's seen this. Everyone else agrees, and Kenny says that once they get to Richmond, they'll have plenty more nights like this then. Kenny gets back up and says that he'll take the first watch while everyone else should get some sleep.
