## Synopsis

Wild Bill looks down over the edge of the building before going back to the radio and threatens to take another life. He gets no response and heads inside. August spots the guard dogs and immediately realizes they are chained up. He manages to unhook one and continues up into the hospital. He picks up the radio and asks what happens next. Bill tells him where to meet and heads to Crenshaw’s office and spots an unconscious Santos in the corner. The two men discuss the definition of morality before August arrives and gets a gun up to Crenshaw’s head, blasting the Zedded wolf and threatening the others with a pipe bomb on his belt. He demands they listen to him now. Bill is the only one not cooperating and when August has the other guards do tasks to keep their lives, Bill kills one in cold blood. Crenshaw attempts numerous times to get out of the situation and let the two of them solve their problems but August shoots at Bill. The biker doges and swings his bat at the two, nailing Crenshaw in the head and breaking his neck instantly and killing him. August takes that instance to pull out his shotgun and blast Bill, dropping him to the ground. He leaves them to burn as he lights the building on fire. He runs into the other henchmen and gives them a location to meet him the following day if they want to make a smart choice with their lives.

Roger is getting ready for bed when he hears that August has returned. He and Karen head to the gate to meet them. August is not happy. He has Roger bring Santos to the infirmary but warns him to make sure he doesn’t leave once he wakes up and goes to bury Ellie. He will talk to them in the morning. Karen stops him to complain but he goes off on her about not communicating with him again and now two more people are dead. He leaves. Wild Bill wakes up but can’t walk. He crawls to the desk and gets on the radio to ask for anyone to help him. He briefly speaks with someone… not helpful, but then gets a hold of another member, Mr. Q who gets him out of there. The next morning, August speaks with the council. He steps down as leader and puts Roger and Karen in charge. He warns them they need to have a funeral today and goes to tell Lexi about Ellie. It is a sad interaction. They hug. Roger and Karen go to the infirmary to speak with Santos about what happened. He is clearly upset about the loss of Ellie but he tries to explain why they were after him and warns them that they are in danger and need to build their defenses up immediately. Karen is skeptical and Roger is worried they don’t have the numbers. Bill wakes up next to a doctor that tells him they have to amputate his leg. He demands to speak with Mr. Q and the Doctor goes to retrieve him. Mr. Q asks him if he killed Crenshaw and he breaks down what happened. Q thanks him for taking out his competition and warns Bill that Drake is going to be “thrilled” to see him.

Scarab suggests to Roger that he join her and August to meet these soldiers they’ll be speaking with later and he agrees. August confronts Santos about his fuck up and Santos is not interested in arguing with him anymore. August is convinced that whatever his old crew owed Crenshaw must have been integral and manages to get the information regarding the military-grade weaponry the Relics’ have stowed away somewhere. He just doesn’t know where. August blames him for Ellie’s death and leaves him to sulk. He meets up with Scarab and Roger and they head out. They arrive at the meeting and Roger is the one to convince them to join the cause. Should any disobey the rules however, August will take them out on the spot. The one that speaks for them, Travis, is very open to helping them out and so is the strong silent one, Hanez. The only one that is a bit disinterested is Matteau but he eventually also agrees to their deal. Roger tells them to he will radio them when they may approach their home and leaves. On the way back, they discuss the next big thing, defenses. Once they arrive back, they include Karen in the talk. She suggests what Santos has been saying, they should abandon the zoo. Roger is against it but is willing to temporarily leave and return. August believes that if they leave, they don’t return. That’s when Karen comes up with a new plan, defend the walls with Zeds. Scarab adds on top of that with the Beastz below. They’ll be able to clear out the crypts while also defending the walls. This will also give them another way in and out of the zoo if they are surrounded or have to block of the gate. August agrees and sets a plan in motion.

August informs the rest of the group about what is going to happen. They all prepare for their new members to arrive. August, Scarab, and Roger go to pick up the Henchmen and catch them up on the defense plan. They are a bit concerned but still go along with it. They are patted down by Roger and head home. Elsewhere, an unknown figure is tracking their location.
