## Summary

*Through the ruined streets of Georgia's first city, Lee and Kenny lead their battered group in an attempt to find safety on the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. With the losses they've suffered and the people they've gained, can they finally get what they have been looking for since the beginning?*

## Plot

Roughly three hours after the end of "Long Road Ahead", Lee, Kenny, Clementine, Ben, Charles, Christa and Omid finally reach the Atlantic city of Savannah. The next day, they start to walk through the town with Lee hanging on to Clementine's walkie-talkie in case the unnamed man tries to contact her again, despite Clementine's pleas for it back. After walking a while, Christa asks to let Omid rest for a bit. Lee asks Kenny to wait for awhile. He also tries to help Omid. Not much time passes before the group nears a church and the bell begins to ring. Lee becomes suspicious of the bell ringing at an unusual time and notices a figure running across a roof.

The unknown man speaks through the walkie-talkie warning the group to move out of the street. A large group of walkers descends on the group. The group tries to run, but are forced to fight back, pushing their way through the streets. Kenny is tripped by a walker under a car and drops his gun, leading to Lee saving him. Kenny comments on the close call, but Lee's attention is drawn to Clementine and Ben being cornered by a group of zombies. Ben freezes in fear and abandons Clementine to save herself, forcing Lee to shoot the walkers around her, but a stray walker reaches Clementine. Just as it goes to attack, it promptly knocked down by Chuck and his shovel. Clementine catches up with Lee and the others, but Chuck (wanting to ensure Lee saves Clementine) stays to fight off the other walkers on his own accord. He yells to the others to move on without him and that he will meet up with them later.

The group flees in to the backyard of a mansion that has been thoroughly fortified. Omid trips on the way in, and Christa worries when she sees that his wound has opened up again. The back door as well as the pet door are both locked tight. Omid comments that the pet door is probably electronically locked, and responds to the electronic signal that comes from the animal's collar. Lee finds a small grave next to a doghouse and digs it up, revealing a decomposing dog. Clementine comes to watch as Lee digs up the dog, Lee orders her away, which hurts her feelings.

Lee tries to take the collar off the dead dog, but can't get it until the dog's head suddenly falls off its body. Christa vomits at the sight of its head falling off. Clementine asks if she is alright, and Christa assures her that it was just the smell that made her sick. Omid begins to question the honesty of her statement and that it might be something else, but she quickly rejects his theory.

Now that Lee has the collar for the door, he unlocks it and says he can't see anything from the pet door (or get the main door open). Ben asks if he can give it a try, but before Lee can answer, Clementine quickly rushes in through the pet door and unlocks it from inside much to Lee's praise. Christa hurries the group inside to help Omid and carries him onto a couch inside.

Once they are all inside, Christa starts to berate Lee for not telling them that Clementine's walkie-talkie works and that there is someone on the other end of it. Kenny wonders if the one on the radio is the one that rang the bells and drew the walkers toward them. He quickly debases it saying it makes no sense to lure someone into a trap and warn them about it. Kenny and Ben decide to search the second floor of the house and have Lee search the first floor for any dangers. The house is picked clean, save for two bottles of whiskey and a large bag of dog food.

After checking the place out, Kenny finds an emaciated zombie boy that looks like Duck in the attic. Kenny theorizes that he ran out of food and starved to death. Lee and Kenny decide they can't leave him there.

Lee tells Kenny he doesn't have to do this, proceeding to put down the boy himself. The pair look over the dead body, Lee taking the corpse to bury, Kenny looking on in despair.

After his death Lee buries him next to his dog and fills up the grave while Clementine watches sadly. Lee suddenly sees that someone is watching him from beyond the fence but they run off before he can get a good look at them. Kenny then wants to find a boat and Lee goes with him while Clementine stays behind with the others. A bell tolls from a different location somewhere in the city distracting the walkers in the area. When they reach the river there are no boats except one that has sunk halfway into the water, which Kenny tries in vain to salvage.

Kenny tells Lee to check out the coastline for anymore working boats using a telescope. Lee looks through it but realizes that he needs a quarter to activate it. He searches around and makes a gruesome discovery, a barrier made up of body parts, and several live walkers impaled on spikes, serving as a warning. Lee also finds strange markings on the boarded up doors. Lee pokes around some more, finding cars that have been stripped clean in the process and eventually finds and bashes open a newspaper dispenser, giving him a single quarter. Looking through the telescope reveals nothing useful, until Lee looks at a building to his left and spots somebody skillfully climbing down it. He tells Kenny to get down and they watch as the figure walks over to a newspaper stand with their back to the men. Kenny hastily comes up with a plan; for Lee to sneak up on the person while he covers the flank. Kenny gets into position and Lee sneaks up to the stranger, but finds them to have disappeared.

Lee peeks over the counter, and discovers the person is no longer there, but instead is behind him. Lee is struck down to the ground. The stranger is about to kill Lee with an ice pick when Clementine suddenly appears and shouts. This causes the stranger to hesitate and then stand down.

The stranger removes their hood and mask, revealing the mystery person to be a woman. She introduces herself as Molly. Kenny sneaks up on her and prepares to shoot her in the back of the head. Molly hears him and ducks, successfully tripping Kenny, the gun discharging on contact with the ground. Lee exclaims that Kenny is with his group, preventing Molly from retaliating on the now-defenseless Kenny. Molly states that the two of them must really not be from Crawford. Lee learns that Crawford is where all the well-bodied people of the area are now holed up. There are very strict rules in Crawford, the group adopting a "survival of the fittest" philosophy, meaning a strict no children, no elderly, nor anyone with any advanced medical condition policy. The conversation is soon interrupted when the undead approach after hearing the gunshot, filling the street that Lee and Kenny had come from, preventing the group's escape.

Contemplating their next move, Lee and Kenny turn to see Molly making her way up a fire escape within a nearby alleyway. She contemplates on leaving them to fend for themselves, but Clementine beckons to Molly, who changes her mind. Kenny and Clementine are pulled up, but Kenny loses his grip on Lee's hand while trying to pull him up, and Lee falls back into the alley with a large group of walkers quickly closing off the alley. With no alternative, Lee continues down a man-hole, and discovers a sewer cover. Molly throws down her pick for Lee to utilize as a tool to pry the cover free. Lee climbs down just as soon as the walkers reach for him.

In the sewers below Savannah, Lee uses some misdirection to avoid walkers. Along the way, Lee discovers Chuck's remains with an empty revolver nearby, implying that Chuck had used the last bullet on himself before being devoured. Lee eventually makes his way into a fortified basement area of what seems to be a morgue, which appears to be well-stocked with supplies. Unfortunately, the place is also home to a small group of rather paranoid and hostile survivors, who assume Lee is from Crawford, and therefore dangerous.

An older member of the group, Vernon, interrogates Lee at gunpoint, growing evermore twitchy as the conversation continues, and a younger woman, Brie, urges him to shoot, again claiming that Lee must be from Crawford. Lee slowly disarms Vernon and succesfuly makes a deal that saves his life.

The group is the last of a cancer support group who fled to the sewers once Crawford's rules began being enforced by Oberson, including the murder of five of the group's members before they could escape. Lee asks for help getting back to the house where the other members of Lee's group are held up.

On return to the mansion, Lee finds Molly sifting through the mansion for supplies. He returns her climbing pick and allows her to remain in the mansion. Vernon informs the group that he is a doctor and sets to work on Omid's injured leg. Lee conducts a search for missing Clementine, growing more concerned by the moment, especially after finding an intoxicated Kenny that has no idea where she is. Lee goes back into the backyard to look for her. Just as he begins to go back inside, he hears a knock from the backyard shed. He opens the doors and finds Clementine inside. She is overjoyed to see him alive, and embraces him, then reveals what she found inside of the shed: a boat. Kenny comes out, sees the boat, and regains his confidence.

Hours later, while Kenny and Ben inspect the boat, Vernon finishes his work with Omid and reports to the mansion's sitting room. Annoyed, Molly asks Lee to stop pacing. Christa demands to know why she is still there. Molly explains that she feels owed for saving Lee's life and that she plans to get on the boat with them. Kenny returns and says that he has bad news; the boat was missing a battery and gas, but is in otherwise good condition. The group discusses Crawford as the only place that could possibly have what they need, but Vernon staunchly rejects the plan to ask them for help, instead proposing that they use the sewers as a way to get into the community silently and steal what they need. He volunteers to lead them through the sewers so long as they steal medicine as well. The group agrees to sneak in under the cover of night. Vernon departs to rejoin his people and share with them the plan.

Lee finds Clementine listening in on the group's plan to sneak into Crawford. She asks if he thinks it will be dangerous, to which Lee says that it would be. Clementine says that she does not want anyone else to die, with Lee saying that somebody might. She says that she needs to get ready, explaining that she wants to go with Lee in case her parents were in Crawford. Lee tries to dismiss the possibility that her parents are there, but she still wants to go with him to see for herself. Lee sadly apologizes, but tells Clementine that she cannot go with him. Dejected, she walks away from him.

The group gathers in the backyard, assembling their weapons and awaiting Vernon's return. Kenny announces that he found some tools in the shed, offering them to the others. He then quietly pulls Lee aside, informing him that the boat was only thirty feet long and not big enough for all seven of them (including Molly). Before Kenny could offer anything further, Vernon enters the backyard through the gate, escorting Brie. Kenny demands to know who she is, and she explains that she was once a student in the school where Crawford kept its supplies and that she knows the layout. The group offers no objection to her joining them, and follows Vernon out of the gate. Lee tells them to wait a moment, giving Clementine some final words before he leaves. If Lee had refused her company before, he warns her about Omid and tells her not to let anything inside the mansion. He leaves her a pistol to defend herself, which results in her accepting her job in staying with Omid.

Upon arriving in Crawford, the group quickly realizes that the whole place is infested by walkers and retreat to the elementary school where supplies are kept. Ben feels worried, unsure about their security.

The group finds the "control room", and a door labeled "Armory". Ben sets to work on the Armory door, Kenny and Brie go to get gas, Christa and Vernon go to the nurses station to collect medication, leaving Lee and Molly to go find a battery for the boat. Molly rushes off ahead, leaving Lee to make his own way. He soon arrives but as he tries to enter the jammed door to the auto shop area, a walker falls from the roof, followed by a furious Molly who hacks at the walker in what seems to be a personal level of rage. She dismisses any evidence of knowing the dead man.

After finding a battery from a car in a workshop, a nail biting zombie encounter, and a roof-to-roof jump, Lee makes his way back to the main area of the school. Molly takes off to "run an errand", taking the battery with her so Lee and the rest of the group will not get on the boat without her. Lee then continues down the hall back towards the classroom to check up on Ben, only to be interrupted as he passes the front door, where Kenny and Brie rush in, racing to escape the group of walkers that are following them. Fortunately, Lee manages to insert the hatchet the group found in a toolbox back at the house into the door handles, preventing the walkers from busting in.

After helping Kenny and Brie, Lee goes to the nurse's office to check on Christa and Vernon, only to find a group of walkers banging on the door. After shooting all of them, Lee makes his way inside to find Christa and Vernon ready to fire. The two lower their guns once they realize it's only Lee, and the three begin to search for a way to open the safe where the medical supplies were being kept. A bit of investigating leads to Lee finding a tape and a camcorder in the room, containing footage of a pregnant woman named Anna Correa and Dr. Logan discussing what to do about the former's pregnancy, as per Crawford's policy on no hindrances. Lee instantly recognizes the Doctor as the same walker that Molly savagely attacked, and heads out to the alley to find him, to see if he has the code for the medicine cabinet. After stomping his head in, he finds a second tape and a combination to his locker.

Arriving back inside the nurse's office, the tape found on Logan is played, showing the events the day after, as well as explaining why Crawford fell. Christa begins to cry after witnessing the tape, and refuses to explain further. Vernon manages to unlock the safe with the combination from the tape, and heads back to the classroom with Christa. Walking through the hallway, Lee is surprised by Molly's jump through a hole in the ceiling. She had gone off to fetch a picture of her sister, whom had been killed by the Crawford residents when Logan stopped her supply of insulin and her symptoms started to surface. Then when walking to the classroom, Ben scares Lee and Molly with a hatchet. When Lee and Molly figure out that it was the hatchet holding the door from walkers, walkers enter inside and Molly kills some of them. Suddenly, one grabs ahold of her and enters a struggle. Lee shoots Molly by accident, causing her to flee in the opposite direction, losing her weapon, and be devoured.

Upon getting inside the classroom, Brie holds the door shut and stands by it to make sure no walkers get in while Kenny is just about finished opening the armory door by force. A now-regretful Ben finally decides to come clean about his dealings with the bandits to Kenny, much to Lee's disagreement. Kenny, upon hearing what Ben says after bashing the door open, becomes furious and attacks Ben, only to be held back by Vernon and Lee. A short argument ensues, and eventually everyone begins to vote Ben out. Lee votes for Ben to stay. Brie questions whether she and Vernon get a vote or not, only to be interrupted as three walkers break through the door, and bite her to death through disembowelment. As Vernon watches in horror, Lee orders everyone to run into the bell tower, dragging Vernon with them.

With the armory door being unable to shut due to Kenny's force beforehand, the group runs down the stairs, only to find the room to be infested with walkers, now attentive on them. Kenny hands Lee a shotgun that was in the hands of a fallen guard as the group begins to head up the stairs, and, after shooting and fighting their way up the stairs, the group makes it to the top of the tower. As the group begins to pile out the window, Vernon notices the train, and asks where the group came to Savannah from. Upon everyone (except Ben and Lee) vacating, the bell rings, to which Ben covers his ears. A walker that had been hanging from the bell eventually grabs hold of Ben, at which point Lee shoots it off of him.

Lee manages to save Ben from certain death, but the tenanted falls on to the ledge, losing his grip just as Lee catches him. Lee asserts he will save him but Ben urges Lee to let him go, as a way to punish himself for his screw-ups. Despite Ben's pleas, Lee forces him up, the two making it out alive. Ben is confused as to why Lee saved him, but grateful all the same.

When the group finally arrives home, they find a motionless Omid. Christa begins to cry over him, until he awakens and groggily greets the group. The group finds a dead walker whom Clementine shot. Omid is given medicine by Vernon, who then takes Lee out into the hallway to talk with him in private. He comments on Lee being a good man, but scolds him over leaving Molly behind. It is at that point that Vernon offers to take Clementine with him back to the Crawford Sewer group, to which Lee threatens him. Vernon takes his leave, angrily.

Lee then goes into the study, where Clementine watches Kenny through the window as he works on the boat. It is then that she begins to ask Lee if they'll have time to look for her parents before they leave on the boat. Lee tells her the truth, so she begins to cry herself to sleep, where Lee places the walkie-talkie on the arm of the couch and sits down. He soon falls asleep. Lee wakes up to find Clementine is nowhere to be found.

He goes out into the back yard to find her abandoned hat. Seeing the walkie-talkie abandoned next to a garbage can outside the yard, he investigates only to be attacked by a walker that was hiding underneath a board. He kills it but realizes he was bitten (his blood having splattered on Clementine's hat) at which point the group, consisting of Christa, Omid, Kenny, and Ben, comes out and questions what Lee is doing outside, along with whose blood is all over him. Lee shows the bite to everyone, the group shocked and despaired by such, though he asserts Clementine is more important right now.

They begin to ask about Clementine's whereabouts, to which Lee responds that she has been kidnapped, mentioning Vernon's offer. They all believe Vernon is the culprit. Lee asks for help. Christa and Omid offer to help. Kenny asks Lee if he would do this if Kenny was in such a situation, with Lee convincing him to help when he tells him that Clementine is his family. Ben asks Lee what he thinks he should do, with Lee saying that Clementine was always there for him, which convinces Ben to come with him. This causes backlash from Kenny, claiming Lee must choose only one of them. Lee tells Kenny that Ben can still make things right, which causes both of them to go.

Lee, Kenny, Ben, Omid, and Christa then head to the sewer hideout, only to find it completely abandoned. Lee calls out to no avail, and begins to stress himself. Suddenly, a horde of walkers, presumably the same horde from the end of the previous episode, is seen shuffling in the streets. Then the walkie-talkie comes on and Clementine's voice is heard calling Lee. However, it quickly turns to the unnamed man's voice, saying he has Clementine that she is "fine", and confirms that he isn't Vernon, but warns that Lee should choose his next words wisely.
