## **Synopsis**

The mall survivors are gathered on the roof overlooking the city as the war between Benjamin Taylor and Damerae Badrick rages on. Robert Morgan tells the others that he'd be willing to make the mall even more defendable by setting up traps in and around the parking lot to stop invaders. He shows off the turrets that he'd already set up thanks to Teddy Powell's guns. Austin Kingston suggests that they leave the mall, which prompts Quincy Atherton and Monica Reynolds to mock him for being scared. Austin curses at Monica, and after some arguing, Quincy punches Austin and threatens to throw him off the roof. Quincy forces Austin into apologizing insincerely. Austin then curses at everybody for not doing anything before he storms off in a fit of rage.

Robert makes his way down into the parking lot and sets up a few bear traps.

Wilbur Wright, Jon Matthews, and Curtis Van Horn arrive at the mall and notice Austin walking through the Entrance Plaza. They call him over and have him let them inside. Austin tells them that Felix Quarterman is on the roof, and that Quincy and Monica are still present in the mall. The criminals pick up on Austin's hostile comments about Quincy and figure out that he got in a fight with him. After a quick jest about it, they walk off to find Felix.

Wilbur and his crew find the survivors on the roof and assure them all that they're friendly and only here because their warehouse was destroyed. Felix and the others have no issue housing Wilbur and his crew at the mall, as the more people they have, the stronger they'll be. Dean Howards gets up and climbs down the vent. Owen Gliefield notices him leave and remarks the fact that Dean is still a "pathetic asshole". Jim Butterman asks Owen to show some sympathy, as Dean is trying to become a better person.

At the museum, Benjamin holds a funeral for Sarah Taylor. Clyde Rollins sits in a wheelchair, recovering from his injuries. After a moment of silence, Benjamin goes to address his soldiers, and introduces them to Derek Monroe, who had showed up at the museum to reveal the location of two Rasta outposts, one of which is a junkyard, and the other being Monroe's hotel, where Derek discovered that The Rastas had killed both his bodyguards. Benjamin says that they'll avenge them as well as everybody else that was killed by The Rastas. He turns around to Sarah's covered body and lights it on fire. As her corpse goes up in flames, Edward Remar stumbles through the front doors, immediately falling forward, unable to keep himself up any more. Mike Simpson rushes forward and helps Edward up, sitting him down on a chair in front of Benjamin. Edward tells Benjamin that he plans to go to the mall to rally up his old friends and take down The Rastas. Hearing this, Derek steps forward and offers to go with him, as he'd be able to tell the mall survivors where one of the Rasta outposts are. Mike pulls Benjamin aside for a minute, worried at the fact that they're running low on soldiers. Benjamin, however, has little concern, and is adamant that they'll find and kill Badrick soon. He reminds Mike and everybody else that anybody who challenges him will be dealt with. Clyde rolls over to Derek and Edward and asks to go with them to the mall. They allow him to. Before the three of them leave, Edward asks Benjamin for a spare cane to walk with, as his leg brace was completely destroyed. Benjamin finds and gives him an antique golden cane. Edward offers to give Benjamin Sarah's friendship bracelet, but he tells Edward to keep it.

Back at the mall, the group notices a large horde of zombies entering the parking lot. Felix steps up and tells Robert to go get everybody to the roof.

Aldus Paxton and Jared Kellings make conversation in the waiting room. Albert Hanson wakes up in there and limps out of the room, ignoring Jared's idiotic questions. As Albert leaves, Dean enters the room and takes a seat, starting up a conversation with Jared. The two talk about their past, and Jared doesn't think that Dean is a bad person, even after hearing about his past with alcohol and his relationship issues. Robert suddenly enters the waiting room, telling them all about the incoming horde of zombies. Everybody gets up and makes their way to the roof.

As the crowd on the roof grows, Felix tells everybody what he has in mind: to lead the horde into the town where the fighting is taking place and end the war, taking out both sides. Quincy and the other criminals point out the fact that the only thing the horde will do is slow down the fighting, but won't end it. As Felix rethinks his plan, everybody hears a voice calling to them from the opposite end of the rooftop - Edward, with him: Derek and Clyde. The three move across the roof with Derek pushing Clyde in his wheelchair. Teddy and Felix stare at Clyde, and immediately make known their hatred of the former movie star. Edward tells them that Clyde is no longer a coward, telling them about how he rescued Sarah. Derek tells the group about the two Rasta outposts and says that Benjamin will be dealing with one of them, while the mall group is to deal with the other one: the hotel. Jim frowns and walks away, realizing that the group would be joining the fighting no matter what now. The rest of the group take a vote to see who's in favour of joining the fighting, and it's quickly decided that they'll be joining the fight.

A team consisting of ten people with Jacob Feldman taking the lead is quickly formed. Erin Monroe says goodbye to Jacob and walks off with her father to do some catching up. Edward takes Clyde down into the security room, meanwhile Wilbur says his own goodbyes to his criminal crew, as he tells them that he's leaving the mall to find a new place to settle down. Before leaving, Felix tells Jacob that they should lead the horde in the parking lot to the hotel with them to assist in taking down the outpost. The rest of the group remains on the roof as Jacob's team heads down and out of the mall.

The group gets ahead of the horde of zombies and begins leading them through the streets on their way to Derek's hotel. On the way there, Dean opens up more to the others, explaining that he was trying to set himself right and become a better person. Curtis and the other criminals are happy to see Dean finally staying off the bottle and cleaning himself up, and Jacob too is beginning to lighten up to him. As the group continues down the street, they come across a gunfight between some of Benjamin's soldiers and a group of Rastas. The group at first wants to leave them to the fight, but realize that they need to clear it out if they want the horde to continue following them. They move in and attack The Rastas, intending to help Benjamin's soldiers, but when the soldiers open fire at Jacob's team, they are forced to shoot back. Jacob's team makes quick work of both the soldiers and The Rastas. Randall Forster approaches a Rasta that attempts to flee, blowing the man's head off with a shotgun, muttering "For Clayton" afterwards. The others look on, seeing it as being overly brutal, but leave it alone when they notice the horde getting close to them.

The group arrive at the hotel, and take cover outside the building, waiting for the horde to attack the building for them. Everybody gets into position, guns aimed at the windows of the hotel. Inside, Jackson Foxx and Michael Hall have taken shelter with a group of Rastas while they try getting into contact with Badrick. Michael sees no point in the war between Badrick and Benjamin and says that he's done working with The Rastas, and suggests that Jackson do the same. Jackson, however, gets in front of Michael, threatening him for betraying The Rastas. Before the two get into a fight, Jackson spots the horde of zombies outside. Randall fires a shot through the window, hitting him in the shoulder. Michael takes the opportunity to jump up, killing a Rasta in his way and fleeing the hotel. The Rastas at the hotel are slowly picked off by both the zombies and Jacob's team. Jon sees Jackson trying to make a run for it, and bolts after him, tackling him down and knocking him out cold. He picks him up as Jacob yells out for everybody to run across the street into a nightclub to escape the horde. Teddy covers them all, killing a couple of Rastas before a third Rasta, one with a shotgun, blows his hand off. Teddy passes out from shock, and he's helped into the building.

On the other side of town, Benjamin walks through the junkyard that was once a Rasta outpost, only now it was littered with the corpses of Rastas, as his soldiers had just cleared it out. He interrogates one Rasta that's still alive, but after getting nothing from him, he strangles him. As Benjamin walks off, Robin approaches Shane Haywood, the second-in-command and the only other one with serious power. He tells Shane that he should have their soldiers withdraw from the fighting as soon as possible before all their soldiers desert them. Benjamin was becoming unstable and there needed to be a new man in charge - Shane. Robin walks off, leaving Shane in deep thought.
