#### "**His Resolve**"

In the cabin, Wesley is laying on a bed, eyes cracked open, his body weak; he's got some kind of disease that is slowly killing him. A sudden cough opens Wesley's eyes all the way, as he coughs some more into a tissue. He looks at the tissue afterwards, seeing blood. He shakes his head, while throwing it into a trash can beside him. Jeanne Randolph, his wife, is sitting near him, looking worried. Marisa Pena eventually comes walking out to check on Wesley, who says that his lungs are still hurting. Aidan Eldridge promises Wesley that he'll make a run into Garden City to loot the pharmacy again, to which Wesley mumbles that there probably won't be anything to help him anyway. Wesley, who's light as a feather, is then lifted into his wheelchair and pushed into the kitchen by Jeanne.

During dinner, Marisa says prayer, and Wesley, after a coughing fit, mumbles an "Amen" with the rest of his group. As he's eating, Herman Meyers can be heard screaming for help outside, startling Wesley and the others. Luke Butler gets up to go open the door, letting Herman inside, an obese man that's out of breath. Wesley mutters an insult about the man's weight under his breath, as he resumes eating. Soon, it's revealed that Herman accidently led a horde of zombies to the cabin, and now they're surrounding the house. Wesley tries telling his group to make a molotov to slow down the zombies, but with everyone in his group panicking, Wesley goes unheard. When Herman then tries to escape the cabin, he is devoured by zombies, as Wesley looks on in terror, realizing the severity of the situation. He curses at Herman for leading the zombies here as the man is being ripped apart. With no where else to go, Aidan grabs Wesley and lifts him out of his chair, carrying him up the stairs alongside everybody else. Wesley holds on for dear life, begging Aidan not to drop him. When they get upstairs, Luke smashes open a window and hops out, instructing the others to follow. Wesley is to go out first - and so Aidan carefully drops Wesley out of the window into Luke's arms. Panicked, Wesley says that he doesn't ever want to do that again. When the rest of the group have escaped out of the window, including Jeanne, they escape the cabin premises, heading into the woods.

In the morning, after walking through the woods all night, Wesley and his group arrive at a motel, with Wesley being carried by Aidan. He coughs loudly, staining Aidan's shirt with blood. When the people occupying the motel decide to let them inside, Wesley is taken by Dean Howards and sat down into a chair, where Dean gives the man some water. As this is happening, Clyde Rollins introduces himself to Wesley and the others, but Wesley mishears his name and mistakenly calls him "Slyde Lawlins", which leaves Clyde in shock, considering he was a movie star and assumed everybody knew his name. Soon, William Reynes, leader of the motel survivors, comes walking over, and orders Wesley and his group to leave immediately. Wesley stares and angrily, remarking that his legs don't work. But William isn't going to change his mind, and starts waving a gun around, forcing them out. Wesley yells for someone to pick him up, and Aidan does. Eventually Wesley and the others leave, with Wesley cursing at William the entire time.

#### "**The Right Thing**"

At an office building in downtown Garden City, Wesley and the others are on the highest floor, trapped in the building, zombies flooding the streets and alleyways outside. Wesley is still muttering curses about the people at the motel for how they forced them back onto the road, and he hopes that they rot in hell. But just a few moments later, Kate Bloodstone and a few others step into the room, Clyde among them. They were the few people at the motel who were fighting for them to stay. Wesley looks over, and is excited says, "Slyde Lawlins!" Kate and the others explain that they've come to rescue them, but Luke, pessimistically says that there's no hope for them to escape, as he strolls over to a window. Wesley looks over and tells him that he needs to break the window if he's going to jump, irritating Luke.

Later on, the time comes for the group to try and escape. Wesley chugs down a bit of water, and stores a computer mouse in his pocket for later use, before he is picked up by Clyde and carried along with the others.

When they get down to the second floor, Clyde places Wesley onto another chair, and he thanks the man. Eventually Marcus Downes comes up with the plan to smear themselves in zombie guts in order to simply walk through the zombie horde and out the doors, which Wesley is not a fan of. He gags, not even able to think about it.

For the plan to work, Marcus and Luke go to try and collect a zombie in order to cut open - but Marcus is the only one to return, and through panicked breaths, says that Luke was killed. Wesley frowns, as the group gets ready to fight their way out. Dean picks up Wesley, while Clyde and Claire Noble are intended to protect the two of them. Holding onto Dean tightly, Wesley looks over, seeing dozens of zombies swarming the second floor. Wesley takes the computer mouse out of his pocket and throws it at a zombie, which does nothing but bounce off its head. Eventually, Dean, Wesley and Jeanne are separated from Clyde and Claire. Zombies begin to swarm them, and Wesley feels hands grabbing at him. Then he feels something biting him on his side, and another zombie bites him on the arm, and on his leg. His flesh is being torn out, as multiple zombies grab Wesley's upper half of his body, attempting to pull him away. Dean hangs onto Wesley for as long as he can -- which leads to Wesley being completely ripped into two. The upper half of his body is dragged into a horde of zombies, where he dies within seconds, whereas his legs are held onto by Dean for a few seconds, who is left in utter shock.
