==Plot==
The next morning, the group continues on their journey to the community. Javier gives Ethan pills and a bottle of water for Amanda. Both make conversation with each other, with Ethan asking Javier if he had seen him somewhere before, noticing he looked familiar. Javier tells him he played professional baseball. Ethan instantly recognizes him and compliments his gameplay, asking why he stopped playing. Javier tells him he got into trouble for betting on himself and was fired from the team because of it. Ethan apologizes for bringing it up, but Javier tells him not to apologize and that he deserved it.
Soon afterward, the RV breaks down, much to Kenny's frustration. Luke assists with fixing the problem by replacing the dead battery with a spare battery contained within the RV. Astonished, Kenny questions how he knew about it, to which Luke just shoots back a knowing smile. Clementine observes from afar, with Sandy sitting by her side. She asks her how she's been doing. Clementine confides in her that she feels broken over what she did, but knows she had to do it. Sandy tells her that eventually, that feeling won't be as strong as it is now. Sandy believes that Sarah knew she cared about her. Clementine thanks her and says she's going to go sit in the RV for a bit. Kenny walks over to Sandy, asking how Clementine seemed to her. She tells him that she's a little better but still needs time to process everything. Kenny compares her feelings with her own. Sandy reminds him she lost someone she cared about again, and asks why she wouldn't be. Kenny understands what she's going through, reminding her of Sarita. He tells her that her rampage by the bridge with the walkers earlier is something similar he did when escorting Rebecca to the observation deck. Sandy sits in silence. Kenny wants to know if she has something against him or Ethan or anyone else, but, she says she doesn't. Sandy talks about losing her family, how she fell in love, and how she feels alone and scared all over again. She states that Kenny and the rest are the only family she has left, and she'll follow them straight to hell. Kenny appreciates the sentiment and says he considers her family too along with the rest of the group, saying that Sarita was right about them all being family. Paige overhears the conversation and smiles. Mahiru asks her what the smile is for, adding that she hasn't seen her smile in a while now. Paige tells her that she just feels hopeful for once. Mahiru questions her if she trusts Ethan and Amanda, and Paige pauses for a moment then says she does. Mahiru tells her that Ethan told her that they will need to give up their weapons once they get inside the gate for security purposes and they will be led in for an interview with the leader of the community. Paige is uneasy about the idea of giving up their weapons. Mahiru agrees but says if this community is as good as it might seem, they'll have to follow the guidelines. Mahiru walks back to the RV as Ethan comes out and walks over to a walker laying on the ground. Paige approaches him and asks what he's doing. Ethan tells her that sometimes he likes to check walkers for identification, saying he would at least like to know who they were. The walker starts moving a bit and Ethan stabs it in the head with his knife. He pulls out a wallet from the jacket and identifies him as Jon Sandusky. He looks at the photos and remorsefully tells Paige he had a wife. Paige notices a few walkers in the distance and wonders if they should take care of them before they get too close. Ethan looks at one of the walkers and exclaims that the female walker resembles the man's wife. Ethan believes he should at least put her down out of respect and starts to walk over. Paige tells him not to and that she'll do it. Paige walks over to both of the walkers and kills both of them. She grabs the purse off of the female walker's shoulder and tosses it to Ethan, who confirms that it was his wife, Tamara Sandusky. Ethan realizes it's silly to care, but it makes him feel a bit more at ease sometimes. The RV suddenly starts up, and Omid calls for everyone to get back inside the RV. Once everyone makes it back inside, Paige snatches a blender sitting on the RV's sink and places her gun inside it without anyone noticing.
The group reaches the city of Richmond, seeing a large portion of it sanctioned off from the rest. Ethan tells everyone they blocked part of the city off that was invested with the dead and have decided to call the community "New Richmond." Sandy asks how many people are inside there. Amanda limps over and says that around eighty people are currently living there. Amanda further explains that a lot of them have been there since the start of it all and not many have left the walls of New Richmond. Luke asks if they've had issues with raiders and Ethan says they've never encountered any thus far. Paige suspiciously asks how they managed to avoid them. Amanda believes it's just been luck, but isn't convinced they'll never experience them. Ethan smiles and says he hopes that they'll all be helpful if that ever came to be. Once they reach the gates of New Richmond, a woman, named Edith, greets Ethan and Amanda as they exit the RV. Ethan tells her they brought back some new people, ones that have been out there for a while and even have a baby. Edith tells them to wait a moment and she walks off. Everyone slowly exits the RV and walks up to the massive gate. Javier is relieved to hear the sound of children playing from behind the gates, assuring everyone that the area is safe. Turning to Clementine, Kenny asks her if she is ready, to which she replies that she is. Sandy notices Paige disappear around the RV into a slightly damaged building, and makes her way back to Sandy's prying eye. Paige shrugs and smiles, walking next to her near the gate. As Kenny holds A.J. close, the group awaits the opening of their new safe haven.
