## Plot

August and the others help Wild Bill find the rest of his group.

## Synopsis

The funeral for Conrad is in full swing. August gives his speech before offering the floor to whoever would like to speak. Lexi steps up and everyone is a bit uninterested until she calls out Roger for not going in his place. This causes a bit of an argument between the two but it settles down when August calls a mandatory meeting and has the group dispersed. Ellie takes Wild Bill on a brief tour while they wait for the meeting. They discuss the lack of animals and she informs him about the crypts below. Her theory is that Hiro and Gregory released them to cause a distraction but the others have different theories he can ask about later. They head to the meeting and August basically tells them that he is aware that people are questioning his leadership and calls a new election. Scarab nominates him and Ellie seconds it while the newest member surprisingly nominates Roger, since he was the only respectful person in his eyes when he arrived. He also knows the ins and outs of the zoo. Santos heavily sides against August and argues literally anyone else. The group is remarkably split down the middle, evenly. Even August and Roger vote for each other. Roger eventually steps down because he doesn’t want to cause more strife and August keeps his title and immediately drops one role. It is no longer In-On-Out, just In-Out. He and Santos trade words once again but Bill interrupts asking if they will deal with the Crypts but they agree to handle one thing at a time. August has to deal with Frank first.

Roger and Bill talk for a bit about the outcome of the vote and how little they actually appreciate what Roger does at the zoo. Bill also asks about his theory on the Crypts and Roger has two suspects. He also believes it could have been Hiro but his other suspect is Lexi who was found down there that day. August and Ellie appear and asks how many people are missing from Bill’s group. He mentions hopefully three but he is unsure. August offers to help search for them while also dealing with Frank. Bill agrees to the idea and mentions a gas station nearby where they can start. They gather a small group and prepare to head out. The party consists of August, Bill, Scarab, Ty, and Frank. Lexi attempts to go with them as well but they turn her down and she gets really upset about not being allowed to do anything. Ellie and Roger promise they’ll calm her down as they depart.

As they are riding up to the gas station, a loud siren is heard. Bill pulls his gun out and shoots the siren on the ambulance truck they find. A man in an EMT outfit comes out complaining about his “distraction” and two other women also come out. They are quickly surrounded by a horde and fight. The three paramedics, Ty, and Bill are all bit but August is there to save the day and begins to cut out and clean the wounds. When he steps into the Ambulance, he finds another woman sedated on the table. The one paramedic, Jocelyn, mentions she is a patient they were keeping on ice because she is a bit unstable. Bill and Scarab manage to clear out the horde and they agree to bring the paramedics back with them.

Scarab leads them all back to the Zoo while August brings Franklin farther out. Ty is the first to get struck with the fever and is shortly followed by the others. Only Bill seems Unphased for the trip. August takes Frank to the top of a building and zip ties him to the roof and warns him that if he returns to the Zoo, he will be shot on sight. Frank is still convinced things would go so much smoother if August just gave him a chance to help but the man is not convinced and leaves him to die. Roger receives a call and quickly learns he’s going to have a long night. August is there to help him. Eventually Bill gets the fever as well but he is conscious when JT succumbs to her wounds and turns. She attacks August who quickly puts her down. Watching from the security room is Santos, who just shakes his head in disapproval.
