## Summary

*After accepting the brothers' invitation to tour their family dairy farm, Lee and his companions encounter a few unsavory characters on the way.*

## Plot

During their journey to the St. John's dairy, Lee, Travis, Ben, Mark, and the St. John brothers discuss the food available at the farm. Despite losing most of their cattle, the St. Johns claim to have ample supplies of milk, butter, and cheese, along with vegetables they grow. As they walk through the forest, Lee and Travis lag behind, engaging in conversation. Travis reveals that Doug has tasked him with inspecting the electric fence at the farm and mentions Doug's ability to create useful things, like the group's alarm system. Travis discusses the potential effectiveness of an electric fence against walkers, explaining that the electrical charge could eventually cook a walker's brain. The conversation takes a funny turn as Travis contemplates the smell of burnt skin and expresses a desire for jerky. Lee notices a laser pointer in Travis' hand, which he got from the drug store, finding it cool.

Mark expresses gratitude for Lee's timely arrival, prompting Andy to inquire about Lee's background. As they discuss, the topic shifts to the motor inn and who's in charge. Lee emphasizes the group's collaborative nature, avoiding revealing too much about their internal dynamics. The St. Johns express their willingness to help and invite the group to their dairy, citing the abundance of food. However, their conversation is interrupted by the sound of an argument between two masked men on the path ahead. The group takes cover and observes the altercation, realizing that these men are likely the bandits who raided Ben's camp. The bandits engage in a heat debate, with one killing the other. Andy urges the group to wait it out and then proceed to the dairy for safety.

The group arrives at the St. John family dairy, greeted by the picturesque scenery of golden leaves and a welcoming sign. Andy proudly showcases the electric fence that surrounds the property, explaining how it effectively keeps walkers out. Travis, intrigued by the setup, marvels at the wiring and looks forward to sharing the information with Doug back at the motor inn. Lee compliments the security measures, and Travis expresses his preference for the safety of the dairy over the motor inn. As they approach the farmhouse, an older woman with curly red hair, introduced as the St. John matriarch, emerges with a picnic basket to welcome the guests.

Brenda St. John warmly welcomes Lee and the group to the St. John Dairy. Andy introduces Lee as being from Macon, and Brenda recalls having good farm hands from there. Danny mentions their friends at the old motel, prompting Brenda to express concern about its vulnerability and inquire about their group's survival experience. Lee assures her that they work together and have members with military experience. Travis, unable to contain his hunger, blurts out their starvation, and Brenda offers them freshly baked biscuits. While discussing their situation, Mark suggests bringing their vet to help Maybelle, the St. John's sick cow. Brenda is thrilled at the idea and invites the entire group for dinner, planning a feast for their hungry guests. She tasks Danny with helping in the kitchen, and Travis volunteers to fetch the vet along with Ben, who takes Mark's rifle for protection. The two set off down the driveway to retrieve the rest for an evening at the St. John Dairy.

Andy asks Mark and Lee to explore the St. John Dairy and help secure the perimeter. He mentions the occasional issue of dead getting tangled in the fence and knocking over posts. Mark expresses enthusiasm about the place and suggests it could be a potential safe haven if they play their cards right. Lee agrees but emphasizes the need to ensure the safety, especially for the kids. They decide to check the fence perimeter to assess the defenses. Mark will keep an eye out for potential issues around the property while Lee gathers information from Andy. As Mark walks away, Lee enters the gate, ready to inspect and assess the dairy.
