### **Season 3**

#### **"On the Move"**

Tony strolls into the school cafeteria, and takes a piece of gum out of his mouth; a colourless, lifeless piece of gum that he tosses into a trash can. He then lays eyes on Lloyd Waller across the room, who coughs to get his attention. Lloyd offers Tony a piece of gum, which he accepts, walking over. As he pops the gum into his mouth, Tony looks down at a sketchbook in front of Lloyd, commenting on how good the drawings are. But Lloyd admits that it's not his book, but rather Kyle Douglass', who he says spends all of his time doodling in the book. "I spent all my time on that piece of gum," Tony replies, nodding to the trash can, adding on that he had been chewing it since everything went down weeks ago. "I miss how it used to be," Tony then says sadly, reminiscing about school. As the conversation dies down and becomes awkward, Tony gets up and says goodbye to Lloyd, before walking out.

#### **"Reunion"**

In the foyer, Tony sees Lloyd sitting nearby, looking sad. He looks over, asking if he's alright, to which Lloyd quietly says that he "just wanted to help", referring to the death of Jacob Feldman. Tony shakes his head, and tells Lloyd that it's not his fault, no matter how much he blames himself. He makes a point that there was nothing Lloyd could have done, and if anything he was doing Jacob a good thing by giving him the grenade he'd use to blow himself up with, rather than being undoubtedly slowly tortured and killed by The Rastas. To try and cheer him up, he offers Lloyd a piece of gum, which he takes, thanking him with a sigh. He tells Lloyd to take care, before Lloyd gets up to go find William Reynes.

#### **"Red Asphalt"**

In the cafeteria, Tony slides a pack of gum over to Lloyd - but he slides it back, not interested in it. Lloyd starts going on about how afraid he is, but Kyle and Tony both try to tell Lloyd that they're safe here. Tony makes an analogy between The Rastas, who are now without their leader Damerae Badrick, and Sauron from The Lord of the Rings, and how without Sauron, the orcs fell apart. Nodding slowly, but not feeling much better, Lloyd gets up to leave.

When the school comes under attack from a horde of zombies, Tony attempts to help out by flipping over tables to provide defense, and even using a revolver to shoot at the zombies. When the cafeteria is swarmed by zombies, Tony, Lloyd, Kyle and Bernie Ortan escape through a window under orders from the adults.

#### **"What Comes After"**

After escaping the school, Tony and the other kids rush into the woods, now all on their own. Tony leaves the other three at a small clearing in the woods to go check on the school. But when he doesn't come back within a reasonable time, Lloyd goes looking for him, and finds Tony chopping through zombies with a fireaxe. A zombie immediately attacks Lloyd, but Tony battles it off. He tells Lloyd to run -- before revealing a zombie bite on his arm; he knows that he's a goner. He tosses Lloyd his jacket and his gum, and tells him that he needs to be the one to protect Kyle and Bernie now. "You'll do fine," he tells him. Lloyd is in denial about what's happening, and says that they need Tony, but Tony says that Lloyd needs to go now, as he fights off another zombie. Eventually Lloyd has no choice but to run, and so he does, leaving Tony behind. In Tony's last moments, he raises his axe and swings it at zombie after zombie, covering himself in zombie blood. He keeps going for as long as he can, even after dropping the axe. But he only lasts so long before a zombie's mouth catches him on the throat, bringing him down and killing him.

* Zombies
