## Synopsis

Roger leads a meeting to discuss the situations they’ve been dealing with recently. He briefly updates Karen and apologizes for any miscommunication and addresses the others. He is over the arguments and the disconnect. This group needs to start working as a unit. Afterwards, he is approached by August and Scarab. They have concerns about Karen’s leadership but believe that Roger is doing everything right with what he has. The next morning, the snow has become a blizzard. It is almost impossible to see. August and Scarab head into the crypts to retrieve a snow plow and also map them out. In the meantime, Roger takes Enrique to check on the horde surrounding the walls, all is fine for now.

August and Scarab get to an unmarked staircase. They tentatively go up them and find that it leads to the exterior of the wall. A potential escape route in case things turn sour. Roger goes to speak with Santos, just to see how he’s doing. Santos is still worried the group is underestimating the enemy but Roger assures him that no matter what, they’ll figure it out as a group. Santos is not convinced but he appreciates the optimism. August beings posting a map of the crypts around the zoo but spots a flair from beyond the wall. Roger calls for everyone who can fight to get ready and the rest head to the infirmary. Outside, Drake and a dozen soldiers are listening in.

August and Scarab join Roger and the others at the gate to prepare. Scarab isn’t convinced it’s an attack yet but they need to be cautious just in case. They get a buzz on the radio and an unfamiliar voice is heard asking to speak with August. They don’t respond so the voice asks again. After the third time Lexi responds and August sends Scarab to stop her as the voice responds to her. He introduces himself as Drake and continues to speak to the group offering them a compromise. Let them in and live, or don’t. He gives them one hour to decide. August calls for one of the trucks to be opened and cause a distraction, potentially helping the group determine where Drake and the others are. They know they aren’t giving this place up and decide to fight. They hear gunfire and are able to determine where they are. August gets up to the wall to scope it out and sees the group through the storm with a massive artillery cannon. August does not hesitate and fires, killing the man prepping it.

Drake is excited that they chose to fight and his men get ready to assault but August wipes the floor with them, killing them all single handedly, including Drake. The carnage thins out the horde a bit so August has his remaining Car bombs go off to distract them while he and Scarab go to check out the weapon. While there, they receive another call, this time from Wild Bill. He asks if they liked his gift. He basically warns him that this was a test and now he really wants to bargain. He wants Santos for the rest of their lives. August swears he’ll comply once he tells him why he needs him so bad. Bill tells him flatly he doesn’t need Santos, he needs the bait as a car August did not park by the front gate explodes. Elsewhere, the person who was tracking Matteau is revealed to be Gregory, who rushes out to help.
