## Summary

*Tensions have run high since the devastating encounter with the cannibalistic dairy farmers. Now, running low on the supplies they ravaged from the station wagon, can the group find another way to survive?*

## Plot

A week after the events of "Starved For Help", the survivors continue to use the Travelier Motel for shelter since they had obtained more supplies from the back of an abandoned car. Lee and Kenny procure the last of the supplies from the town of Macon. Kenny asks Lee his opinion on whether or not the group should leave the motel for the coast. Lee tells him that sooner or later they'll have to leave. The pair approach the drugstore, remarking on how the town was running out of supplies to scavenge. Kenny climbs up a big rig ladder to climb over a truck in their way as had become normal for their supply runs, when the ladder breaks. Lee scours the area for a suitable way to climb the up the trailer to meet Kenny, eventually coming across a stationary military jeep with a metallic winch. As he pulls the winch to meet the wheels of the truck, Kenny offers his opinion on Lilly's state. Lee tells him that they did kill her father, to which Kenny agrees. Lee activates the winch, pulling the jeep to meet the trailer. Kenny asks if Clementine was still upset with Kenny for taking the supplies from the abandoned station wagon, but Lee is unsure. The jeep finally reaches the truck, affording Lee a base to stand upon and allow Kenny to pull him up. Kenny tells Lee that his son had asked him about Shawn Greene and if he had made it, despite Kenny's beliefs that Duck really knew that Shawn was dead. Lee assures Kenny that his son would be fine and then asks for a hand to climb up. Kenny reaches down and grabs Lee's hand, but drops him, clutching his side in pain. Unhurt, Lee stands up, but before he can attempt to climb the truck a second time, the two suddenly hear a woman screaming. Lee identifies several walkers encroaching on her position and insists that they help her, but before either can decide on a course of action, Lee witnesses her get bitten on the leg. He says that he needs to shoot her to keep her from suffering any further, but Kenny points out that if she continues screaming, she would draw all of the walkers in the area to her and keep them off of Lee and Kenny while they raided the drugstore. Uncertain, Lee raises his rifle and aims at the screaming woman.

Lee shoots her directly in the head, killing her instantly. Kenny is frustrated, picking Lee up and heads for the alley entrance, walkers pursuing them.

Lee and Kenny scour the pharmacy section of the drugstore for any remaining supplies. Once the walkers start approaching them, Kenny takes the backpack they had placed their gatherings in and jumps over the counter into the general drugstore.

Lee is attacked just as he jumps over the counter, a door collapsing on him with walkers on top of him. Kenny rushes back to help Lee lift the door and fight off the walkers. They successfully lift the door off of Lee and tip over an empty refrigerator to barricade the doorway from further walkers. Kenny begins firing off shots at the walkers, ordering Lee to make his way to the hole in the drugstore wall that they normally use as an exit. As Lee makes his way to Kenny, he is attacked by a walker with a helmet on its head. Lee beats it back with his rifle into an exposed rebar, trapping it as he and Kenny escape the oncoming walkers.

Back at the motor inn, Kenny brings the supplies inside, distastefully noting that their current lookout was Ben again. Clementine approaches Lee, showcasing new stickers on her walkie-talkie. Lee tells her to wait while he and Kenny brief Lilly on their last supply run. The two of them enter Lilly's room, Kenny remarking that Ben being on watch is death sentence for all of them as Lee exchanges his rifle for a handgun. Lilly asks what they have. Kenny hands over the backpack, stating perfunctorily that they were fine and sarcastically thanking her for asking. Lilly is relieved by the amount of new rations. Kenny angrily refutes the idea that they could last the winter in the motel with regular supply runs like this, complaining that they would freeze in the empty motel rooms. Lilly bitterly retorts that she did not want to get into an RV for an extended time with her father's murderers.

Katjaa and Carley come up to the three of them, the latter asking if there would be another argument. Kenny dryly tells Carley to be quiet. Lilly tells him not to "boss people around", but Kenny relays that he feels that she should not be making decisions for the group in her current state. He bluntly states that somebody else needs to think about the food situation and the protection of the motel and what happens when the motel needs to be abandoned. Lee intervenes and brings up that their current situation was better than Kenny was implying, leading to Kenny bringing up what Lee had done with regards to the screaming woman in Macon. Lilly and Katjaa are both upset with Lee for not being able to save her.

Kenny argues that Macon is not a salvageable place anymore; that he and Lee had been placing themselves in danger repeatedly to bring back what meagre supplies they could find, and the people that were left in Macon were "dying and wandering out onto the streets". Lilly snaps at him, yelling that it would not be easier out on the road. She brings up her belief that someone had been stealing from the group's medicine supply, and mentions that her trust in the others is wearing thin, following which she orders everyone out of her room.

Lee tells Kenny that she'll get over it. He complains that Lilly was making him out to be the villain in everything wrong with their group, storming off. Katjaa gives Lee an apologetic look before following her husband. Carley comes up to Lee and tells him that she thinks he did good, with her thinking so most days. She advises him to talk to Lilly about what she said about stolen supplies, worried that she might be growing paranoid and also tells him to come to her when he has the time to do so. After a conversation with Clementine Lee walks to her. She tries to convince Lee to speak to Lilly in order to calm her down about the traitor situation. Carley also suggests that Lee should reveal his past to some of the survivors in order to gain their trust or at least ensure that they hear it from him and not someone else. She warns Lee to be careful about who he tells, as some of the group may react differently to the others. He doesn't understand but agrees when he knows Carley cares about him and is right. She kisses him on the cheek and goes on with her day. During the conversation, Lee tells her that he thinks about her, suggesting that they are starting a relationship. He then goes around the camp and reveals his past to Clementine, Kenny, Katjaa, and Ben.

Lee returns to Lilly's room, entering and taking a seat across from her after she apologizes for snapping at them. Lee assures her that she has nothing to apologize for, then asks after the stolen supplies she had mentioned. Lilly states that she believes that there was a traitor amongst the survivors who had been taking their supplies without the others' knowledge. Lee initially denies her claim, but she tells him that she had been keeping her own count on the medicine stockpile and that more than a few of the opiates had gone missing. She shows him a broken flashlight she had found discarded in the dumpster as evidence that someone had been sneaking the medicine out, as since none of them were supposed to trash broken equipment, someone must have been using it when they shouldn't have. Lee acknowledges that she could be correct and agrees to search for more evidence as to who had been taking from their rations. As soon as he exits Lilly's room, he discovers that Duck had been eavesdropping on their conversation. Excited at the proposition of a mystery, Duck offers his services to Lee. Initially reluctant to allow the child to help, he begrudgingly accepts Duck's assistance.

All of the other survivors of the motel deny any knowledge of how the flashlight came to be broken, but (at Katjaa's direction) Lee discovers a cluster of broken glass shards near the edge of the walled area of the motel. He then discovers a pink, chalk-marked "X" on the wall facing away from the parking lot, to which Duck postulates that the pink marking could have been a sign. Lee goes to Clementine, asking if she had any pink chalk, but she says that she had lost it. Duck beckons him over to the garbage dumpsters they used as gates, revealing that he had found the chalk inside and a scuff of pink dust beneath the dumpster. Lee orders Duck to remain inside the walls while he goes outside and searches for further clues. Before he leaves, Duck offers him a high five, which Lee accepts, causing Duck to belive that Lee is incredibly awesome. He finds a small grate in the wall immediately outside of the walls. Looking inside of it, he encounters a concealed paper bag filled with a stash of opiates.

Lee brings the bag back to Lilly in her room, reporting his findings of the chalk sign and where he had found the drugs. Lilly decides to line everyone up and demand to know who had placed it there, but before she could get the chance, she suddenly notices that a small group of armed bandits were within their walls, holding all of the motel survivors hostage in revenge for not receiving their drug shipment. Lilly grabs her rifle and orders Lee to go out and distract the invading bandits while she gets herself into a sniping position before climbing out the back window. Lee walks out of Lilly's room with his hands up and announces his presence to the bandits. Lee attempts to reason with Jake, and afterwards Lilly shoots Jake in the head, killing him instantly. The survivors of the motel all scramble for safety as the remaining three bandits stand in stunned silence at their fallen member. Lee and Carley deal with two of the remaining bandits (Gary and Linda), the latter taking the dead bandit's weapon to shoot the others. Before Lee can kill the final bandit (Drew), he throws himself over the wall and whistles sharply. A large swarm of armed men come out of the woods, shooting at the survivors of the motel.

Lee retreats behind the RV, Kenny quickly coming up to him with a scoped rifle, telling him to cover the others as Kenny gets the RV started. The bandits breach the two gates, encroaching on both Ben and Carley's position. Lee shoots two bandits and the others back off, giving Ben and Carley enough time to run to the RV and get inside. Katjaa then calls for Lee's help on the other side of the motel. Lee rushes to her aid, shooting three bandits that had tried to reach her and the kids. Clementine makes it to the RV safely, but Katjaa and Duck are suddenly attacked by a walker, knocking both of them to the ground and causing Katjaa to split her forehead open on the corner of a wooden crate. Lee dispatches the walker with a quick shot to the head. Kenny comes out of the RV and ushers his family into the vehicle. Lee calls for Lilly to get to the RV, but Kenny says that he does not care if she gets to the RV before he gets it working. Walkers begin coming through the open gates, forcing Lee and Carley to fend them off as Kenny struggles with the ignition. He finally gets the engine to turn over, recalling Lee to the vehicle. He shouts for Lilly to get down there before they left without her. She just barely manages to get inside the RV before Kenny smashes through the wall and drives them all away from the fight between the bandits and walkers.

Hours later, the group is still shocked at having lost all of their supplies and their safety so quickly. Lilly tells Ben and Carley to be quiet and help her figure out how all of this had happened. Kenny tells Lilly that she wasn't making any sense when she states that someone in the RV had caused this, but Lilly brings up Lee's findings, something he confirms. Lilly turns to Carley and menacingly asks if there was something she wanted to admit. Carley denies any prior involvement with the bandits, but Lilly ignores all protests and begins drawing her own conclusions based on her suspect's reaction. Lee defends Carey saying that she's trustworthy, much to her appreciation. He tells Lilly to stop pointing fingers at everyone, but Lilly ultimately rejects anything other than a straight confession from the accused. Ben then says that he believes that there was nobody stealing anything, but Lilly only grows more suspicious of him, believing that perhaps he and Carley had been working together. Before Ben can look Lilly in her eyes and deny his involvement once again, Kenny crashes into a walker and pulls the RV to a halt. Lilly orders everyone out of the RV, demanding that they deal with the matter immediately.

Lilly is the first one out of the RV, scouring the environment and finding a walker trapped beneath the vehicle and caught up in its frame. Ben, Lee and Carley step out of the vehicle and join Lilly on the side of the road as Kenny goes to work on dealing with the trapped walker. Lilly then points to Ben and threatens to kick him out of the group, then asks for the others' opinions on what to do with him. Carley grows frustrated with Lilly's rather cruel way of treating Ben and refuses to cooperate in the discussion on what to do with him. Lee defends Carley once again, and says that it could even be someone from outside the motel who was sneaking in and stealing from them, but Lilly ignores him. Lilly demands Kenny's opinion, saying that he would be voting on behalf of Katjaa as well as himself, but Kenny tells her to let him finish the walker off first before getting involved. Ben begins to panic, pleading with Lilly to just trust him. He offers to do anything to stay with the group, but Lilly just sees this as a sign that he is guilty. Carley speaks up, calling for Lilly to stop threatening Ben, yet Lilly curtly tells her to shut up. When Kenny fails to offer his opinion once again, Lilly orders Ben to place the blame on Carley or confess to his crimes. Lee intervenes, ordering Lilly to lay off, but while Carley agrees with him and appreciates his support, Lilly ignores him once again.

Kenny finally manages to remove the walker from under the RV, crushing its head with his boot. Ben begs for Lilly to just let him back on the RV and end this discussion, but she denies him entry. Carley stands up to Lilly and calls her "a scared little girl" for lashing out at her friends and that she should try to be more like Lee and help somebody for once. Kenny comes over and asks what the problem was, only for a gunshot to silence them all. Lilly raised her weapon on Carley and pulled the trigger before she could even turn to face her, with Lilly only staring coldly at her corpse. Breaking out of his stupor, Lee grabs Lilly, pins her to the wall of the RV, forcing her to drop her gun. Katjaa screams for Kenny, asking what had just happened. Kenny simply tells her to keep Duck away from the windows and orders Lee and Ben inside so they could leave her behind. Lilly asks for Lee's trust, saying that she was correct about Carley all along. Ben, huddled over the fresh corpse of his former friend, asks what they would do with Lilly. Kenny curtly says that they would leave her for the walkers. Lee softly begs for Lilly to tell him why she had just killed Carley.

Lee accepts Kenny's decision to leave her behind, telling her that she would not be allowed back inside. Lilly begs to be allowed back inside, but Kenny brands her a murderer and refuses to let a murderer on the RV while Lee says that he doesn't care if she dies. Lilly counters by bringing up Lee's past, but this does not sway Kenny's stance, with him revealing to her that Lee told him about his past before, and that he doesn't care. Ben and Kenny enter the RV, Lee following them after giving Lilly one last cold glare. As the RV drives away, Lee watches sombrely as Lilly notices a walker behind her and begins running.

Katjaa calls Lee up to the cabin of the RV, asking for a quiet conversation. Lee asks Kenny and Katjaa what was wrong, only for them to hesitantly glance at one another. Lee notices that Duck was entirely unconscious despite the loud argument and gunshot from before, and he asks if the boy was okay. Katjaa lifts his shirt ever so slightly to reveal a bite mark, Kenny explaining that it happened during the raid. Kenny insists that the plan does not change because of Duck's condition, finding strength in the hope that perhaps somebody in Savannah had already found a cure. Katjaa agrees, asking what else they could do otherwise. She asks Lee to explain what had happened to Clementine for them. Leaving the two parents alone, Lee sits down on a couch with Clementine, slowly embracing her. Lee solemnly informs her that Duck had been bitten by a walker while escaping the motel. Clementine, her calm threatened, asks after Carley, whose death she had witnessed. Lee has no comfort to give to Clementine about it, telling her that she's gone but not coming back and that it's horrible, so he changes the subject, bringing up how he is glad to still have Clementine. Lee suddenly turns his attention to a leaking sink faucet in the RV, it being the only noise in an otherwise quiet vehicle. Clementine softly groans beside him, only to spring to her feet and lunge at him with her teeth bared. Lee, shocked, barely manages to fend off her attack, but eventually succumbs to her relentless strength. Just before she could bite him, he wakes up with a start. Realization of his nightmare relieves him, as he gently sets Clementine down on the couch, as she had fallen asleep against him. He stands up when Kenny quietly announces that there was an obstacle in their way; a derailed train.

Kenny calls for everyone to get off of the RV so that they could let the engine cool down. Katjaa takes a visibly depressed Duck over to a fallen log and sits him down in her lap to keep him close. She asks Lee if he could search for anything on the train to drink for her son, but Kenny identifies the train as a freight train rather than a commercial train. He warns Lee and Ben to be careful as they check out the train. Lee talks to Katjaa about Duck and Clementine. She finally asks him if he is alright, as she knows that he was fond of Carley. Lee tells her that while a proper romance wouldn't be possible in the apocalypse, he did have feelings for her. Lee and Ben then check the boxcar, and discover a modified set-up to accommodate someone living in the boxcar. Ben shares his concern, hoping that the owner was gone, but Lee notes that the boxcar looked recently used. Lee finds a half-full bottle of water and a map of the train's routes that he gives to Katjaa and Kenny respectively. When Lee checks the second door compartment on the engine car, he finds a spanner, a rusty monkey wrench, and a track key remover. He takes the wrench and leaves the others in the compartment. When Lee and Ben search the engine car, they find a dead body slumped in a chair. After Lee confirms that it is not a walker, he pulls the body out of the chair, discovering a blinking button. Ben pushes the button, and a loud hissing noise from the train announces that the brakes have been disabled.

Kenny boards the train, excited that the train could still be functional. He sends Ben out to watch over his family and Clementine while he tries to teach himself the controls, then asks Lee to see to getting the train moving. Lee finds a notepad that used to contain the instructions on how to start the train, but the page with the control directions had been torn off, nowhere to be found. At Clementine's suggestion, Lee searches the RV for a pencil he could use to outline the indentations on the notepad. He finds a pencil by the console.

Lee returns to the engine car and scribbles on the notepad to find its indentations. Finally able to read the instructions, he powers on the dashboard by flipping several switches in an indicated pattern. Much to Kenny's delight, Lee activates the controls on in front of the engineer's chair. Lee then goes back to the engine car's compartments and brings the train back to life. Kenny is overjoyed. The two return to the engine cabin and test out the thruster, but the train abruptly stops after a quick jerk forward. Kenny realizes that the boxcar was still attached to the derailed caboose, and sends Lee back there to uncouple the pilot pin. Behind the boxcar, Lee is able to use the tool he took from the second engine car compartment to pry the coupling pilot pin from the derailed section of the train. He gets back into the boxcar to get back to Kenny, taking another look at the setup inside to gauge how long it had been abandoned. A voice asking if Lee had touched any of his stuff startles him. He turns around to see an unkempt man in the boxcar with him. Lee answers his question honestly, and the man introduces himself as Chuck- or Charles, if Lee preferred to call him that instead. Chuck tells Lee that he had met everyone else in the group already, guiding Lee back over there to authenticate his statement. Clementine excitedly tells Lee that Chuck had given her, Duck and Ben candy. Lee welcomes him to the group, Chuck offering them whatever he had. Kenny is skeptical of the man at first, but Katjaa asks him to stay with them. He sits down next to Clementine and begins strumming a guitar.

Kenny asks Lee if there was anything else keeping them from leaving. Lee says that the train was ready to move. Kenny calls for everyone to gather whatever they had left and get on the train. Chuck accepts Kenny's offer to go with them, and gets into the boxcar with Ben. Clementine tries to bring up Duck's condition, but Kenny harshly orders her to get on the train at the first mention of Duck's condition. Katjaa carries Duck over to the boxcar, asking if they could discuss what to do about their son. Kenny refuses to do anything other than get to the coast as fast as possible. He goes to the engine train and waits for Lee to come in and start it. Lee turns on the thruster, and the train slowly accelerates down the tracks. The two men share a smile, but Kenny's quickly falters.

A few hours later, each of the survivors (minus Kenny) are in the boxcar, waiting for the train to arrive in Savannah. Chuck asks Lee how they had survived as three adults taking care of three kids (including Ben). Lee says that there had used to be more of them, to which Chuck asks if the "dead [got] them". Lee admits that the walkers had not killed them, leading to Chuck concluding that the living had killed them. Katjaa suddenly calls Lee over and asks him to clean up some coughed-up blood on Duck's cheek. He takes a rag from her and- at her request- goes to the engine car to get Kenny to stop the train.

In the engine car, Lee immediately orders Kenny to stop the train. Kenny ignores him, but Lee presses the man until he listens. Lee states facts and tries to sympathize with Kenny's plight to get him to stop the train. Kenny, however, refuses to believe Duck will die, stating the Duck is not like the others who died. Lee asks him once more to stop the train, but Kenny, frustrated that nobody could offer him any hope, adopts a preparatory posture and glares at Lee.

Lee avoids the confrontation, asking Kenny to see reason. Lee realizes that part of Kenny's denial has to do with his own failures and feelings, notably his guilt for the death Hershel's son. Kenny, perhaps beginning to realize his guilt himself, initially denies Lee's assertion that Kenny did not kill Shawn. Kenny asks how the world could let his son live when Kenny had helped put someone else's son in the ground. Lee calmly reassures him, places a compassionate hand on Kenny's shoulder, then finally convinces Kenny to pull on the train's brakes.

The train rolls to a full stop, prompting the group to disembark. Kenny and Lee find Katjaa tending to a barely conscious and extremely pale Duck. She solemnly announces that they were out of time. Kenny curtly tells Chuck and Ben that Duck had been bit, but neither one meets Kenny's eyes in acknowledgment. Kenny is uncertain of what to do, but Katjaa resolves for him that they could not allow Duck to turn. Kenny, numbed, pleads that they did not need to shoot their son, asking if there was any way they could prevent Duck from turning otherwise. Katjaa declares that they both know that the only way to prevent reanimation is to destroy the brain. Distressed, Kenny volunteers to be the one to shoot Duck, but Katjaa argues that such a thing was beyond Kenny's ability. Lee says that Kenny should do it, since he is the boy's father. However, Katjaa quietly tells her husband to stay with Lee so that he could better retain the memory of what Duck had used to be, subsequently asking Lee to help Kenny as she picks her son. Katjaa takes Duck away from the boxcar and into the woods so that Clementine does not have to see the shooting. Clementine asks Lee what was happening, with him slowly reassuring her about her friend's death and that they were saving him from a worse fate. A gunshot interrupts Lee before he can assure her of the necessity of their actions. Kenny quietly and briefly panics at what he had assumed to be his son's death before deciding to go retrieve Katjaa and guide her back to the train with Lee.

Kenny walks in a daze toward where he had last seen his wife go as Lee slowly trails behind him until they stumble upon a small clearing a discover that Katjaa had shot herself rather than Duck. Traumatized, Kenny fails to characterize why she had done it and softly shuts her eyes forever as his own stream tears. Glancing at Duck, he takes Katjaa's gun and stands in front of Duck. Lee joins him, pushing aside his shock so that they could deal with Duck. Kenny, in a single moment of surreal clarity mixed with dullness, asks Lee what they should do.

Through quiet encouragement, Lee does not take Katjaa's gun from Kenny and has him raise the weapon on his own son. Arm quivering, Kenny sees Duck raise his head one final time to look at him, then slump to the side and remain motionless. Kenny barely manages to keep standing at Duck's death. Lee quietly assures Kenny that everything would be okay, but Kenny just fires the gun, ignorant of any comfort Lee could offer. Kenny, dispirited, follows Lee out of the forest, leaving the two corpses as they were.

Nearly two hours later, the train is moving but has yet to reach Savannah. Lee enters the boxcar to find Clementine alone, sitting along the edge of the doorway and watching the surrounding forest zip by. Lee joins her, asking if she was alright and if she understood what had happened when Chuck had told her. She says that she understood, but was still upset because Chuck had warned her that what had happened to Duck would happen to her as well. Angered, Lee leaves the boxcar and goes to the outside railing of the engine car. Lee challenges Chuck's assertion and demands he explain himself for telling a little girl such a thing as that. Chuck, calm, tells Lee that he had a purpose in telling her such a thing: she *would* die if Lee and Kenny continued to treat her like a little girl. Chuck then brings up the group's lack of a tangible plan and tells Lee that he should involve Clementine in his decisions. He asks that Lee think of an appropriate plan and share it with Clementine and then teach her how to use a weapon should anything happen to him. He also implores Lee to take some scissors from his pack and cut her hair, as it would only give walkers and other people something to grab onto when they attacked her. Although Lee expresses reluctance to expose Clementine to the harsh realities of the world, Chuck convinces him that as long as she was alive, none of the previous applications about her size, strength or gender would no longer matter. Chuck then admits to Lee that his reasoning for asking this of Lee was because he had already seen too many people die and he had no desire to watch another little girl die.

Lee thanks Chuck for the advice and leaves him to go back to Clementine. He finds Kenny sitting alone in the engine car and offers some quiet reassurance. Kenny, cold to any sort of sympathy, ignores all of Lee's attempts to discuss their current predicament. Lee leaves him to his own thoughts and goes back to the boxcar for Clementine. On his way there, he encounters Ben and tells him that Carley didn't have to die, though Ben defends himself by saying that if Lilly hadn't killed her, she would have killed him. When Lee reaches the boxcar, he tells her about what Chuck had told him and gently insists that the two of them are a team, and that every team needs a plan. First, he displays his pistol and tells her that she needs to know how to defend herself. He teaches her the basic knowledge of how to aim and shoot, also offering her some token words on how specifically she could improve her shooting. Lee finds a few glass bottles from Chuck's gatherings and sets them up on top of a cardboard box. Lee helps Clementine correct her stance and aim with two bottles before she is able to hit a third by herself with no assistance. Proud of her, Lee assures Clementine that one day, she would be able to shoot walkers too if needed. Second, Lee takes the scissors from Chuck's supplies and informs Clementine of the practicality of shortening her hair. She is hesitant to part with her hair, but Lee makes the final decision to cut it. She questions him on his actions before the outbreak and whether or not killing was bad at this point as he cuts her hair. Lee asserts that killing is wrong no matter what the reason. When her hair gets short enough to his liking, Lee ties them back and tells her she looks cute and a lot safer now. Third, Lee goes to look for a map of Savannah on the train. He unsuccessfully tries to take the map that lies in a bin next to Kenny when he refuses to move. Lee gives a bottle of whiskey he had found in Chuck's supply to Chuck and then lures Kenny out of the engine car with the promise of a drink long enough for Lee to grab the map and return to Clementine. Before entering the boxcar, Ben stops him with the sudden revelation that he had been the one supplying the bandits with the supplies. Shocked, Lee expresses outrage at Ben and threatens to kill him. Apologetic, Ben returns to his silence and offers no further comment without Lee asking for one. Lee goes back to Clementine with the map and gives his position on what to do upon their arrival, which is going to look for her parents. The two decide to look near the Marsh House, where she last knew her parents were staying. She then asks if she could tell her parents over her walkie-talkie of their new plan. He decides to let her do so. At the conclusion of Lee's preparations to make Clementine safer, Kenny suddenly shouts from the engine compartment for everybody to brace as the brakes are engaged.

Once the train comes to a complete stop, Kenny watches dumbly at an overpass in front of them with a petroleum tanker hanging from the bridge that is blocking the train's path. The whole group dismounts from the train, Kenny loudly announcing his displeasure with a series of curses. Ben suggests leaving the train behind and walking, but Kenny immediately shoots the idea down. Chuck angers Kenny when he tries to get the group to just drive right through it, but before the two could begin arguing, they are cut off by a voice from the top of the bridge. A woman asks if they would be trouble, but Lee promises that they were friendly. A man with her asks if they needed help, citing the wreck in front of the train. They request for Lee to meet them upon the bridge by climbing a ladder against the bridge's column. Lee introduces himself, learning their names as Christa and Omid. Omid points out Clementine, who had followed Lee up the ladder without his knowledge, and gets excited that they had "a kid" with them. Christa notices that Lee was not Clementine's father and asks what their story was. Lee gives his own story and that of their previous day with Duck and Katjaa and how they had lost the motel. Christa offers to help them move the train, but warns him that she and Omid would leave at the first sign of trouble with them. The four of them return to the train and layout the plan to get the train moving. Kenny points out a train station on the other side of the bridge that Lee should check for supplies or anything that could help with the tanker while he teaches Omid the controls to the train and Christa talks to Clementine. Ben stands on watch and Chuck keeps to himself as the newcomers become acquainted.

When Lee begins to venture over to the train station, Clementine stops him and asks if he would let her go with him. Lee agrees to let her come with him, then announces his intentions to the group before walking away from the train. At the station, Lee infers that it had been abandoned for a long time due to the plea painted in white on top of the building. Clementine finds the entrance locked before she could go inside without him, something he gently warns her about. With no means to force the door open, Lee puts her on his shoulders to give her a glimpse into a window above the door, but he is mildly surprised when Clementine manages to unlock the door without going through the window. He sets her down and the two enter the station, finding the building too dark to reliably search. Lee is forced to use his wrench to prop the door open so they could see with sunlight, though Lee wishes he could keep it in case of danger. Lee finds a blowtorch in the station, but a locked gate separates him from the object. He lifts Clementine up to squeeze through a gap between the ceiling and metal bars, but she stops short before going to get the keys to open it with. Lee recognizes the horror in her eyes, and- at her quick cry- barely turns around with before he is set upon by two walkers. The walkers cause him to drop his pistol on the other side of the gate and out of his reach. Lee backs away to the door and retrieves his manual weapon, turning forth to kill the two walkers in quick succession. When both of them hit the floor, he sees Clementine shakily holding his pistol on the corpses. He reassures her that everything was fine, but the two of them notice another walker on Clementine's side of the gate. At Lee's instruction, Clementine rushes to get the keys, give them to him so he could unlock the gate, and hands him the gun so that he could shoot the walker in the head. Thinking themselves in the clear, the two remark on how very nearly fatal that was before Christa enters the station to investigate the gunshot. Christa notes the three walkers and their proximity to one another with an obvious displeasure, then criticizes Lee for taking them head on with an eight-year-old by his side. Lee coldly gives his own version on what had happened, irking Christa with his lack of a real response. She goes to check for any walkers drawn by the noise, but pauses briefly to tell Lee that she hopes he knew what he was doing with Clementine. Ignoring her terse message, he grabs the blowtorch and asks Clementine what they had learned from this experience. She demurely states that she was not ready for a gun, but he corrects her and says that they learned not to be afraid. They walk out of the station and head back to the train.

Back on the bridge, Lee starts cutting the coupling to the tanker with the blowtorch, but runs into complications as it slides out of his reach. Instead, he opts to dangle Omid over the gap to finish the job, much to the latter's discomfort.

Ben spots a massive zombie herd heading toward the group, and they must leave, as Omid finally cuts the coupling. The truck damages the ladder leading to the bridge and Omid and Lee cannot get down. Lee kicks the lit blowtorch onto the spilling gas, making a small barrier of fire to buy time. They move to the other side and jump onto the train, with Omid having a bad landing and falling off, badly injuring his leg. Lee gets on the train and Christa gets off to help Omid. Lee now helps either Omid or Christa to get on the train:

Lee pulls Omid up, earning backlash from the man as he goes to say something only for Christa to make it aboard. This weakens Lee's relationship with Omid.

Early the next morning, Lee is driving the train, with Clementine sleeping next to him. He notices a drawing Clementine drew. Kenny comes in, appearing a bit more stable, and talks with Lee on what to do when they reach Savannah, when Clementine's walkie-talkie, which she had always said was broken, comes on. A man's voice is heard, telling Clementine that he's happy she's coming to Savannah, and that he has her parents, Ed and Diana. The voice then instructs Clementine to find him whether Lee approves or not. Kenny and Lee, who both believed the walkie-talkie was broken, are stunned and wonder who it could be as the train pulls into Savannah.
