## **Synopsis**

At the cabin, William Reynes begins to worry about the team that had not returned from the hardware store yet. Believing that something may have gone wrong, he recruits Aldus Paxton to go with him and find the team. Fraser Stiller nervously says that it's risky to send only two people out, but William assures him they'll move quickly and be back before midnight.

Inside the office of the hardware store, Kate Bloodstone and Marcus Downes work together to clear the zombies on the stairs while Jacob Feldman keeps an eye out for Albert Hanson and Jon Matthews, but doesn't see any sign of them. Once the zombies are cleared, Rebecca Dawson budges past everyone and heads downstairs, and Jacob follows closely. She tells Jacob that she'll still be willing to take him in the direction Randall Forster and Curtis Van Horn went, but that she still wanted her vehicle afterwards. Knowing that the rest of the group in the cabin will be expecting their return, Jacob suggests that Kate and Marcus stay behind at the hardware store. Kate and Marcus worry that Jacob is putting too much trust in Rebecca, but he brushes their worries off and goes off with her, tracking two sets of footprints in the snow.

William and Aldus arrive at the hardware store shortly after Jacob and Rebecca's departure, taking down a pair of zombies out front. As they approach the building, Kate and Marcus walk out to greet them. They explain the entire situation to the two of them, including the possibility that Randall and Curtis are alive. William is rather annoyed that Jacob would go off with a stranger, but decides that they'll wait at the store until they return.

Jacob and Rebecca soon arrive at a scrapyard, where they begin looking around for traces of Randall and Curtis. As they do, the two properly introduce each other and begin getting along with each other. Jacob reveals more about himself and his group, admitting that he's been very distant to his group for a while. After a little bit of pushing from Rebecca, Jacob tells her about the conflict with Damerae Badrick and The Rastas, and about the loss of Erin Monroe. Rebecca says she's sorry for his loss. She's about to tell Jacob about herself, when suddenly a gunshot rings out nearby. They both sprint off towards the sound.

In someplace unknown, Jon wakes up on a couch, dizzy. He only manages to remain awake for a few seconds before passing out again.

Sometime later, Jon wakes up again, and this time remains up. Sitting nearby is a man named Ed Anderson, who reveals that his group took Jon in when they found him in bad shape, patching up a wound he sustained to the head. Jon, however, has no recollection of anything that happened. Ed tells him that they're currently in a coffee shop. Jon gets up, trying to leave, but Ed quickly warns Jon that he needs rest. Darwin Thorne steps into the room, and Jon questions how many are in their group, which Ed admits to be five. In the corner of the room, Layton Zimmers makes a jest about harvesting Jon's organs. As Jon starts to remember certain things, he recalls being separated from his group at a hardware store. Layton stands up, beginning to ramble on about an absurd theory of him, something Don Holloway agrees with. The last member of the coffee shop group, Angela Jaegar, steps in with a shotgun in hand, telling the others that they can't stay here for much longer. Angela approaches Jon while the others take some time serving themselves some coffee and bagels. Jon tells her that he really has to get going, and Angela laughs at him mockingly, calling him out for being stupid to not get some rest. Jon takes an instant liking to her and her attitude, even as she leaves the room. Layton brings about the question of where they'll go after the coffee shop, and in the discussion, Jon tells them all about the battle that happened at the mall. During another one of Layton's rambles, he mentions a bus, which gives Ed the idea of checking out Willamette's bus depot. Layton, in another one of his stories, tells everyone about the time he cooked and ate a person after his group had run out of food. Afterwards, when Angela reenters the room, she and Ed decide to head out and scout the bus depot. Jon retakes a seat on the couch, properly thanking the group for taking him in. As Angela and Ed leave, Jon is left with the other three men: one who doesn't speak, one who speaks too much, and Darwin.

Jacob and Rebecca track the source of the gunshot to a nearby area in the scrapyard. There, Randall and Curtis are standing atop a mountain of garbage and scrap metal, fighting off zombies. Jacob comes up with an idea on the spot, hurrying over to a tanker truck and climbing in. Frustratingly, it refuses to start up. Rebecca sighs, seeing a group of zombies closing in around the truck. She rushes over, dispatching them while Jacob continues to and eventually starts up the truck, driving it forward as he lays down the horn. He drives slowly, allowing the zombies around Randall and Curtis to wander away from them and after the truck. Rebecca meets with Randall and Curtis, as Jacob hops out of the truck and rolls into the ditch, signaling for the others to go on ahead without him. Rebecca leads Randall and Curtis back towards the hardware store, with Jacob himself following suit shortly thereafter.

As the sun sets and darkness takes over the sky, Kate is worrying about Jacob and all the others who have gone missing. Marcus has faith that Jacob will return, and those missing will eventually return, which lifts Kate's hope slightly. Soon, they, as well as William and Aldus, hear the recognizable laugh of Randall as he, Curtis, Jacob, and Rebecca return. After reuniting, Kate lets Curtis know that Jon has also gone missing. Curtis knows he'll be back though.

Later that night, Jacob is on the roof of the hardware store with Rebecca. Jacob sits next to her, where he thanks her for helping find his friends. He then reminds her about the story she owed to tell him. Rebecca keeps her promise, and tells Jacob about the loss of both her boyfriend and newborn child when a group of people led a horde of zombies to their hideout. She relates to Jacob when she admits that she eventually tracked down somebody from that group, and killed them, but it didn't make her feel any better. Jacob frowns as he gives his condolences. He then asks her if she could join their group. Rebecca is hesitant to do so, but Jacob convinces her into saying yes.

Downstairs, Marcus, William, and Aldus are making casual conversation when Marcus asks when they'll be returning to the cabin. William quickly says that he'll go back by himself, and he gets up to go. Jacob comes walking into the room, where Marcus tells him that William is leaving. Jacob approaches him, stopping him before he leaves to have a quick chat. He hands him the two engagement rings he was planning to propose to Erin with, instructing him to throw them into the lake. Jacob admits that although the anger he feels isn't gone, he's going to try being more level-headed. William takes the rings after Jacob gives them one last look, telling his friend that he'd do it. William then turns around, leaving the store.

Out in the parking lot of the store, William passes by Randall and Curtis, who're on watch duty outside. After a quick chat, William goes on his way, heading back to the cabin.
