## Synopsis

The episode begins with Vince and Will planning on how to take revenge on C.C.R. Will tells Vince he is not able to hold a rifle due to his injured hand and he can only use his revolver and his knife. They believe the main base of C.C.R is in London. Yasmin then interrupts them by reminding Will that he is on watch. Yasmin feels confused that her name is in the plan and Will tells Yasmin to back off and that he will be on watch after some minutes. Luke then asks if he can help Will go on watch. Will does not allow him to do so and agrees with Yasmin, who thinks it is dangerous to Luke and there are other ways he can be helpful. Yasmin then reveals that she doesn't believe Will can emerge victorious because he is old, missing a hand and that he is severely outnumbered. Will feels disappointed about how Yasmin doubts him after what they have been through. He throws a knife at the photo of C.C.R Supreme Commander (Wesley) on the board to prove that he is not to be messed with and can still fight. The knife hits the head of Wesley in the photo and Will swears that that is what Wesley will be when he next sees him.

Will then leaves with Yasmin. Craig then tells Vince he is going on a supply run later this afternoon and his M4 carbine is out of rounds. Vince tells Craig that there is no more M4 carbine ammo. Vince gives his IMI Galil rifle to Craig saying that he does not need it. Craig promises Vince that he will give his gun back to him later. Craig then believes Vince can win this fight, but still insists that he will not take part in it.

Meanwhile, Will and Shaun are on watch. Will asks Shaun whether he can tackle the construction work without Ray. Shaun tells him that he is fine to do the work with David but he is afraid of not coming up with creative ideas like what Ray did in the past to defend the bunker against the zombies. After that, Will notices that there are some C.C.R scouts on the roof of a distant building by catching a glimpse of the scope's glint in his eye. Will tells Shaun to find Emily. Will tells Emily that the C.C.R scouts don't know that they have already been discovered. Will believes Emily can kill the two scouts. Emily then eliminates all the C.C.R scouts successfully, first killing the one holding the sniper and killing the second after he tries to reach for a radio to contact the rest of the C.C.R. Craig is alerted by the gunfire and questions Will about what just happened, he explains and Craig is worried that the C.C.R will find out. Will doesn't care about that as he says they are at war as far as he is concerned. A soldier from the C.C.R headquarters attempts to contact the scouts, but to no avail.

Three hours later, Will, Yasmin, Victoria and Luke are having lunch. They are talking about the food inventory of Bunker 03. Yasmin then tells Will that they need to start looking into renewable sources of food and water as the shops and buildings in Cropford will not last them forever. Will tells Yasmin they will discuss it later as he has got a lot going on at the moment. On the other hand, Craig and Matt complete the supply run. Matt tells Craig that he doesn't feel good for what Vince did to Jessica in Retribution (Episode 16). Craig tells Matt that it was a difficult choice for Vince and even if he was in Vince's place, he would make the same decision like what Matt would do to save Jessica if he was in that place for a close friend too.

Meanwhile, Shaun notices that the C.C.R have arrived at the Bunker 03. He orders Tom, a combatant in the bunker, to tell everyone about this. Shaun and another soldier try to shoot at the C.C.R's armoured tanks but it seems to be useless. The C.C.R's tanks then blast a hole in the wall of the bunker balcony. The soldier next to Shaun is killed and Shaun runs immediately. Will hears the sound of the explosion and knows the C.C.R have reached Bunker 03. He tries to evacuate Yasmin, Victoria and Luke by telling them to leave to find the others with him. On the other hand, Jane is working at Yasmin's office and she hears the sound of the shot too alongside Rachel. They then leave the office quickly and try to get away from the bunker.

Meanwhile, Tom runs to David and Vince and tells them C.C.R have reached Bunker 03. David wants to engage the C.C.R but Vince doesn't allow David to go out to kill the C.C.R soldiers as it is more important for them to evacuate the non-combatants to the rendezvous point in the first place, which is a part of the contingency plan they are going to enact. He then orders David and Emily to make sure all the people get to the rendezvous point before he goes out to find the others. On the other hand, Wesley tells his people to kill as many of the bunker 03 residents as they can and keeps some residents alive if they think they are suitable for being the testing subjects.

Tom then finds Craig and Matt. He tells them about what is going on. Craig asks if Tom has seen Jane. Tom tells Craig that he has not seen Jane and he has to find Will as soon as possible. Tom then finds Will and tells Will about the plan that Vince has taken to enact the contingency. After that, Tom gets killed suddenly by a C.C.R soldier. Will then tells Yasmin, Victoria and Luke that they will find somewhere safer. Meanwhile, Vince finds the other residents who are under fire and tells them to run to the firing range to get to David and Emily shortly after he gives them covering fire. Wesley shouts to Vince that he will kill all of the residents. The C.C.R soldiers then throw a grenade at Vince. Vince dodges and escapes successfully.

Craig is still looking for Jane. He sees three C.C.R soldiers in front of him. He finds uses a room as a cover and tries to kill one of them but realises that bullets cannot penetrate their armour and cause no damage to them. Luckily, Vince arrives and kills the soldiers from behind. Craig tells Vince that he needs to find Jane. Vince tells Craig he will go with him as Jane is one of the members of the team. Craig then gives the IMI Galil rifle back to Vince.

At the same time, Will and the others cannot go any further as they have been discovered by two C.C.R soldiers. Knowing he cannot hold a rifle, he commands Victoria to take it and he lends his revolver to Yasmin. He then comes up with a plan to help them get rid of the predicament they are in and stresses the importance for the other three to follow it cautiously. Will then uses himself as a bait to draw the attention of the soldiers to him while the Yasmin and Victoria are hiding next to two sides of an opened door respectively. Not knowing they are ambushed by the two women, the careless C.C.R soldiers do not kill Will and tell him that they will take him back to their base as a test subject since they cannot find many elderly people these days. They are then killed by Yasmin and Victoria. After that, Vince and Craig find them. Will tells Victoria to take Yasmin and Luke out of the bunker to the rendezvous point. He goes to rescue Jane with Craig and Vince after Yasmin tells them Jane is supposed to be working at her office at that moment.

On the other side, Jane keeps following Rachel to try to escape from the bunker. However, they are still trapped in the bunker due to the gunfire by a lot of C.C.R soldiers. Knowing she does not have a weapon on her hands, Jane gives up the idea of saving other non-combatants who are still in the bunker with her. When she decides to seek another possible way to leave the bunker, she is stopped by Rachel as she sees the three guys on the other side of the corridor. Vince then throws the flash to create an opportunity for all of them to flee to the rendezvous point while Will goes to find the mounted gun in an attempt to kill Wesley suddenly by himself. The four people then ignore Will and keep running. Unfortunately, Wesley sees them and opens fire on them. Jane gets shot through her mouth next to Craig while they are running to the rendezvous point.

Not believing what he has seen, Craig becomes despondent and stays motionless. Will eventually finds the gun and uses it to kill six C.C.R soldiers (including C.C.R Colonel Daniels), distracting them from firing at Craig. However, Wesley dodges successfully and survives. At that moment, Vince convinces Craig to keep moving by simply telling him to grab Jane to the rendezvous point.

After 30 minutes, Craig is still mourning for Jane's demise and he shed tears at the rendezvous point. Will tells the others that he will not give up the plan about taking revenge on C.C.R after what the C.C.R have done to them. He does not force anyone to go with him and combatants like Matt and Emily object to his plan without hesitation. Suddenly, Craig tells Will that he will join as he has nothing to be afraid of and feels as if he has nothing left after losing Jane. He says he used to be scared of not being with Jane and letting her be in danger alone in the past and it does not matter since the C.C.R have taken away any kind of future he could have had with her. After knowing the C.C.R did not take their dead and left all of their weapons and armour when they left the bunker, he devises an ingenious plan, which consists of disguising themselves as C.C.R soldiers to infiltrate their main base so that they will not need to fight C.C.R head-on. Vince thinks Craig's idea is good and he decides to join Craig and Will to track the C.C.R in London tomorrow. The rest of the people will stay at the bunker after they have cleared all the infected in the bunker and it has restored to a decent state.

After returning to the bunker, Craig killed a zombie and meets Vince. Vince tells Craig that Will is going to find a car in advance to get them to London tomorrow. He wants him to be a leader and this surprises Craig. Vince thinks Craig should learn to lead an operation like that. Craig accepts being a leader with an uncrushable determination of avenging Jane's death and bringing a good life to people in the bunker by killing Wesley.

The episode ends with Rachel having some conversations with David. She and David have decided to join Craig, Vince and Will tomorrow so that there is a higher chance for the operation to succeed. Rachel then asks David what his life will be after they have finished the operation. David tells her that he wants to settle down and spend his life with someone else who wants what he wants from life. Knowing they could die at any moment tomorrow and what she has seen about Jane, Rachel tells David that she wants to be more than friends with him and wants to be in a romantic relationship with him. This staggers David as he has never expected that. He tells Rachel that he feels the same way and they kiss each other as the episode ends.
