## **Synopsis**

At the school, Randall Forster visits a healing Michael Hall. Michael admits that he's been dreaming--dreaming about his family, and how he might have still had his sons had he not killed everyone he encountered to protect them. He knows that he doesn't deserve to be here, mentioning that Benjamin Taylor would have gotten his last moments with his daughter if he hadn't slowed Clyde Rollins down--and that Randall's best friend would still be alive if it weren't for him. Randall clenches his fist, but manages to relax, and he tells Michael that he's changed since then. Beginning to fall back asleep, Michael thanks Randall for his words. Randall stands up and exits the room.

Out in the courtyard, Dean Howards finishes burying Jim Butterman's remains. As he finishes, Dean reminisces about the time he and Jim talked about their families in the mall's storage room. Clyde remembers how kind Jim was, and how he taught him how to be more humble. Dean recalls how Clyde ran off from them back when Benjamin attacked the mall--but that Clyde has become a better person now. Afterwards, Claire Noble takes Clyde a little bit down the street to where a zombie is stumbling up to them. Nervously, Clyde uses his bat to take down the zombie, beating it's head in until it dies. As Clyde and Claire are talking, Randall comes out to see Jim's grave, giving his final condolences to the old man. He apologizes that he couldn't have saved both Jim and Dean, but Dean forgives him.

At the stadium, Daniel Rockwell enters the infirmary, helping the injured Lolida Windfield onto one of the beds. Vivian Finkling immediately begins treating Lolida, meanwhile Jon Matthews lays on one of the beds nearby, listening in. Daniel then leaves the infirmary, leaving Lolida in the care of Vivian.

Daniel storms into Nathaniel Shepard's office, angrily telling all about Damerae Badrick escape and how he murdered Grant Carver. Nathaniel looks at him--and smiles, relieved that they'll still be able to use Badrick's ship if theirs doesn't return. Daniel stares at him, confused and angered. Nathaniel approaches him, speaking directly into his face about how they'll soon be able to make it to the island of Banoi--all they need to do is get Badrick's ship. Daniel shoves him back, finally calling him out as being delusional, and reminds him that all Badrick wants is the people they have in the cells dead. Nathaniel shakes his head, ignoring Daniel's concerns. Finally having had enough, Daniel leaves the office.

In their cell, Fraser Stiller, who has been returned there, is telling the others about his interaction with Jon. Marcus Downes questions when Fraser will be on duty next, but Fraser doesn't know. Fraser reflects on how good it felt to be helping people again--and he was never able to forgive himself for failing to save Cassandra Baccarin. Marcus says it wasn't his fault, and Zac Barnes apologizes for all the yelling he did when it was clear Fraser was under stress. Outside the cell, Isaac Moses, who was guarding the cell and listening in on them, tells Fraser that whatever he did was not his fault. A bit surprised to see the guard speaking, Kate Bloodstone asks about Isaac. After introducing himself, Isaac claims that he joined this group because he was a college professor pre-apocalypse, and they needed him for teaching. He admits that he's not even meant to be speaking to the prisoners, but he doesn't care anymore. While ranting about how bad Nathaniel and his community is, he mentions Badrick and how he's being held here. When Fraser hears this, he says that he needs to help them, otherwise Badrick would kill all of them. As Isaac is thinking over it, Daniel comes limping in, and takes Isaac aside. There, he lets Isaac know what happened while escorting Badrick, and how Daniel is planning on leaving with Lolida and him. Hearing this, Isaac says that they should try and help Fraser's group out as well - and Daniel agrees. Isaac takes Daniel back to the cell, where they inform them about the plan to leave. Zac is skeptical that Daniel is on their side, but Daniel, proving he's with them, reveals everything he was told about Nathaniel and his plan to steal Badrick's ship. Knowing that Badrick was probably coming back with his army of Rastas, Kate says that they need to get their other friends out as well. To get the plan going, Daniel says he'll take Fraser back to the infirmary. His plan is to get as many of Nathaniel's loyalists to switch sides before they seize control from Nathaniel, let everyone in the cells free, and escape before Badrick returns.

Benjamin, Mike Simpson, Solomon Reed, and Edward Remar return to the school, and gather everyone into the library for a meeting. While discussing what weapons they have available to them, Mike reveals an RPG, which excites Edward. He plans to blow a hole in Badrick's ship so it sinks. Benjamin announces that they'll be going soon, and asks who'll be going. Randall knows Michael can't go, and so he decides to stay behind him with. However, Clyde offers to stay behind to watch Michael. Randall agrees to this, and joins everyone else in going to the docks. As everyone is loading up ammo and weapons into the truck outside, Clyde approaches Edward. He pleads with Edward to be careful out there--as he doesn't want to lose him. Edward states that he's going to do whatever he can to ensure Badrick dies, which worries Clyde greatly. As Edward is limping off in haste, Clyde tells him again to be safe, reminding him that they're best friends.

Fifteen minutes after the incident at the convenience store, Lloyd Waller and Bernie Ortan have circled back to where they lost Kyle Douglass, finding the area now deserted of any zombies. As they explore the area, they come across three zombies in an alleyway. After successfully dealing with all three, Lloyd searches for any signs of Kyle, coming up with nothing in the end. Frowning, he starts to worry that Kyle might not have made it. Looking to find any sign of Kyle, Lloyd leads Bernie into the back garden of a house. There, Kyle's notebook that he'd been carrying around was left on the ground; a note was left behind telling Lloyd and Bernie that he was running back to his house. Knowing where Kyle's house is, the two of them start heading that way.

Back at the stadium, Vivian is finishing up with Lolida, when suddenly Jon appears behind her, holding the scalpel Fraser had given him to her neck. He promises he won't hurt her as long as she takes him to the armoury, and Vivian nods her head. Lolida, who's lying on the bed, pleads with Jon to stop, but he gets warned by Jon not to try anything. Just then, Daniel and Fraser come jogging into the room, seeing the situation. Fraser quickly tells Jon that they have a plan, and gets him to let Vivian go. As Fraser is explaining more to Jon, Daniel goes over to Lolida to let him in on the plan, convincing him that Nathaniel could no longer be allowed to run the stadium. Lolida understands but doesn't want any harm to come to Nathaniel. Daniel backs away, telling Jon and Fraser to come with him--they were going to go get the rest of their friends.

Benjamin and his crew park a decent way from the docks, and start walking towards it on foot. As they're walking, Wilbur Wright reminisces about what Willamette used to look like before it was destroyed. He knows that Badrick caused the war between him and Benjamin, and says that Badrick is going to pay for destroying the town and killing all their friends. As they approach the docks, Wilbur reminds them that they need to be patient and rational, especially looking at Edward and Benjamin when he says it. Edward admits it'll be hard to withstand killing Badrick on sight, but that he would listen to them and follow their plan. As they get within a few hundred meters of the docks, they split into two groups to surround the docks.

Down at the docks, Badrick is standing with fifty other Rastas that arrived by ship, one of them being Delroy Shakir, a Rasta lieutenant. Badrick steps in front of all his men, telling them about a certain group of people in this town who have killed countless of them--and how today would be their reckoning. The men cheer for him, while nearby, Wilbur, Claire, Dean, and Solomon are hidden behind a warehouse watching them. On the other side, Edward is loading the RPG with Benjamin, Mike, and Randall. Edward and Benjamin want to kill Badrick themselves... slowly - and they ignore Randall when he suggests simply blowing Badrick up with the RPG and leaving.

As Badrick is boarding the ship and getting a look at all the supplies that were brought, Edward fires the RPG into the side of the vessel. Quickly, it starts to sink. Rastas begin charging over to Edward's group, while Wilbur and his team reveal themselves and open fire at the enemy. Very quickly, Wilbur's group comes under heavy fire, and they're forced to retreat inside the warehouse next to them.

Meanwhile, Edward and their team begin pushing up towards the ship to find Badrick, who had hid somewhere on board the boat. As they emerge from behind a building with a clearer sight of the ship, they see Badrick being escorted off. Impulsively, Edward shoots the RPG at him, but misses when Badrick dives into the water and swims to shore. Benjamin and Mike push further up, getting with shouting distance of each other. Badrick yells taunts about Sarah from behind cover, which angers Benjamin. Edward and Randall remain back at the building, pinned down and unable to move up. With only two rockets left, Edward wastes one trying to hit Badrick again, but he does blow up a couple Rastas.

In the warehouse, Dean and Solomon are holding their ground, killing Rastas as they enter the building one after another. As they're blasting down Rastas, barely surviving, Wilbur and Claire, who had been fighting on the opposite end of the warehouse, hurry over to them. Claire says that they need to retreat back to the school, and nobody disagrees. Claire covers all three of them as they sprint out of the building and find cover elsewhere. While running, Solomon is shot in his prosthetic hand, breaking it and making him practically unable to fight back. Claire herself then runs out of the warehouse and into cover with the others. When the time is right, they jump out of cover and sprint into the woods, heading back towards the school.

A large group of Rastas led by Delroy begin advancing on Benjamin and Mike's position. Seeing them approaching, Mike passes over some old dog tags to Benjamin, telling him that he and Sarah will be waiting for him above. He orders his boss to run on the count of three. As he starts counting, Benjamin pleads with him to stop - telling him that there was a way for both of them to escape. However, Mike doesn't listen, and when he hits three, he vaults over his cover, gathering the attention of Delroy and his Rastas. As Benjamin makes his escape into the water, Mike is riddled with bullets. Edward tries firing the last rocket at Delroy's squad, but he comes under heavy fire.

Edward and Randall escape into the nearby warehouse, linking back up with Benjamin. Randall watches as Claire and the others run into the woods, and suggests that they do the same. Benjamin, still thinking about Mike, quietly agrees. Edward on the other hand calls them all cowards for wanting to flee. Benjamin yells that he will not let Mike's sacrifice be in vain, and that they are going back to the school.

At the end of the battle, Badrick limps over to Delroy, commanding him to have their Rastas follow Benjamin's group back to wherever they came from--but to wait for his order to attack.

At the school, Michael and Clyde are in the library quietly, with Clyde reading a book. After briefly chatting about what book he's reading, Clyde brings up the time that he stabbed Michael in the chest. Michael admits that he deserved it, and Clyde shouldn't feel any regret. He then asks for Clyde to help him up so he can get some fresh air outside.

The two walk into the courtyard, where Michael stops at Jim's grave, taking a moment to give his condolences and apologize for not being able to save him. Suddenly, Claire, Wilbur, Dean, and Solomon come rushing up to them in a panic, telling them the bad news of the failed attack.

They all hurry into the foyer, where Clyde frantically questions what went wrong. Dean explains it to the best of his abilities. Then, Benjamin, Edward, and Randall come storming inside, with Benjamin letting them know about Mike's demise. Edward still wants to stay and fight, but Benjamin knows they don't stand a chance anymore--and that he is done with chasing Badrick. Edward starts listing everything horrible Badrick has done, but it doesn't change Benjamin's mind; he's done. Wilbur complains that Benjamin and Edward screwed up the whole plan by charging after Badrick instead of linking up with Wilbur's team when they came under fire. Benjamin ignores the man, and instead listens to Solomon's idea about burning down the school to buy them some time in escaping to the stadium.

Dean and Solomon head down into the basement, where they discover a set of furnaces. Nearby, they see propane tanks, school supplies, stacks of paper--all flammable objects.

Back up in the foyer, Wilbur is arguing with Edward because he STILL wants to go after Badrick. Wilbur asks if it would be worth it if someone like Clyde was killed just so Badrick could die, but Edward argues that nobody needed to die for Badrick to be killed. As the arguing quiets down, Michael looks out the window, seeing a large group of Rastas gathering up out in the trees. The building comes under fire immediately, and everyone ducks down. Suddenly, the gunfire stops. Everyone sits in silence for a moment before something is thrown through the window landing next to Wilbur; a grenade. Wilbur curses as the grenade blows, completely obliterating him.

Down below, Dean and Solomon hear the gunfire and explosions, and take that as the sign to begin the fire. Solomon quickly lights the furnace, and the two of them escape the basement just as it explodes into a ball of fire.

Upstairs, everyone begins escaping the school as it quickly goes up in flames. Everyone manages to make it out safely--except for Michael and Randall. Michael, too weak to keep going, tells Randall that he'll buy them some time. Randall says he doesn't need to do that, but Michael urges him to go. "Thank you," Randall tells him. "No. Thank you," Michael replies, nodding to him. As Randall escapes the building, Michael stands up, taking down four Rastas in his last stand before he is shot dead. The school goes up in flames all around him.

Lloyd and Bernie march down the street, quickly coming up to Kyle's house. They see a large group of zombies stumbling around the front of his house, and Lloyd doesn't know what to do. Bernie, however, tells Lloyd via a handwritten note that he would distract the zombies and allow Lloyd to get inside and rescue Kyle. Bernie knows it's dangerous, but he wants to do it for his friend. Lloyd remains in cover while Bernie rushes out in front of the horde, banging doors and throwing objects to get their attention. Once he gets their attention, he slowly begins walking backwards down the street. Taking the chance, Lloyd runs across the road and makes it to Kyle's house. When he looks over at Bernie, he sees two zombies stumbling up behind the deaf kid. He desperately shouts and waves his arms, trying to get the boy's attention--but it's too late. As Lloyd begins sprinting over to him, the zombies behind Bernie grabs him and bite into his neck. The rest of the horde catches up to Bernie, tearing him apart while Lloyd watches with tears and in shock. Realizing there was little time, Lloyd snaps out of it and jumps to his feet, smacking a zombie out his way, rushing into Kyle's house. As he makes it upstairs, Lloyd drops to his knees, crying when he sees Kyle's reanimated corpse laying on the ground. After beating down one other zombie in the house, Lloyd stumbles over to Kyle, standing over him. Kyle, a zombie, groans and raises himself up, moving towards Lloyd. Backing up, Lloyd picks up Kyle's hatchet that was stuck in one of the dead zombies. Kyle lurches forward and grabs onto Lloyd, trying to bite him. When Lloyd can no longer hold him back, he puts him down with the hatchet. Lloyd falls to the ground, sobbing after just losing his last two friends.
